a Searsport Captains Timely Laugh.
A good story is told Of Capt W. G. Nichols
OF Searsport while prisoner on board the
Confederate cruiser Shenandoah. After
burning the Delrhine. the Confederate steam
er was headed for Melbourne and soon sighted
a bark 10 which she gave chase, and after
long run came up, only TO learn that it was
British vessel and that the coal burned in the
chase had been wasted. Two or three days
after, upon coming on deck one morning,
Captain Nichols found the steamer off her
course aud running for another vessel juss
visible in the dim distance. Picking u p the
telescope lying on the after house, Capt.
Nichols, after long, careful Look was salts
fed the sail in sight was the ship David
Brown, of which his brother-in-law, Capt.
Ph.neas Peudieton, Jr., was in comm and,
and OF which he owned q part Not desiring
TO have any of his relatives meet him in such
company, and not wishing TO see any more of
his property burned by the Confederates,
Capt. Nichols put down the glass and burst
into hearty laugh. Capt. Waddell, who was
near bs. asked. 'tWhat are you laughing at
Captsin2" "Oh, nothing" said Capt. Mich
OILS, laughing again. II believe" said Capt.
Waddell, you've made out that vessel to be

II your own way, Captain; I'm only a passen-
ger, yon know" Capt. Waddell, satisfied that
his surmlse was correct, ordered the steamer
put upon her course sgain, allowing the David
Brown TO 90 on her way, with Capt. Pendle-
ton all unconscious that he had been within
a few mi es OF a rebel steamer carrying his
sister, her hush nd and little nephew to far
foreign port, and that by the coolness aud
quick wit Of his brother.in-law he had been
prsve nted from losing his ship and making
one of their party. After getting ashore at
Melbourne, Capt Nichols told the story
Then said Capt. Waddel, you must have
