THE Terror of the Sea-"

sea, = has been raised from the bottom of
Long Island Sound, repaired and re-
painted regardless of expense, and now
lies at anchor off Staten Island, where
all the foreign shipping which comes
to New York may see her. She
keeps out mudscow net to catch any
wandering mudscoW that may float to-
ward her in the night, and always has
out coal-barge boom to ward off any
coal barge steered by near-sighted or
color-blind pilot.
The officers cabins have been repa-
pered. New curtains have been hume
up in the mesS-room. An excellent new
range has been put in the kitchen, and
three or four guns of various sizes and
calibre have been mounted on deck.
Several muskets have been purchased
tor the crew at the auction of the effects
of an Anarchist club down town which
lately disbanded for lack of patronage.
Most of these muskets will kill a duck at
thirty yards, and most of the cannon will

tience.
In her recent successful trial trip to the
Lower Quarantine Station the Tallapoo-
sa succeeded in firing two OF her heavy
guns with such effect that half dozen
sailors ratified down out of the rigging
and fell on the deck. The battery was
composed of Burton six-pound, double
breeched, Smooth-bore and a Grigsby
cast-lron, short-range FOUNDER. The
recoil of the guns keeled the vessel over
on her starboard side, it is said, and
shifted the ammunition in the magazine,
besides causing some confusion in the
wine cellar. The Talllapoosa was soon
rlghted and sailed 600 yards without ac
cldent or collision. The vessel was then
stripped for action, which was quickly
done, as one of the top-masts fell of its
own accord. The crew was then piped
to quarters, one dory and one dugout
were launched with sham torpedoes, and
everything was made ready to fire the
larboard guns,
1t has to be recorded that when the
crew saw that the larboard guns were to
be h1ed they mutinied. That is, they all
mutlnled but the powder monkeys, who
stood reSolutely behind the guns with
canlSterS OF wet powder, which they had
turned the hose on before bringing it
above deck. A blacksmith walked slow
