CHAPTER ~.

A fresh crew came down from Lon
don the following morning in charge
of a crimp.
Duckling went ashore to meet them
at the railway-station. and they came of
in the same boat they had landed the
others on the previous day.
They appeared much the same sort
of men rs those who had left us; badly
clothed for the most part, and but four
of them had sea-chests. the rest bring
ing bags. There was one very big man
among them, a fellow that dwarfed
the others: he held himself erect, wore
good boots, and might well have
passed for Life-guardsman. were it
not for an indescribable something in
his gait, and the way in which he hung
his hands that marked him for Jack.
Another fellow | noticed as he scram-
bled over the ships side. and sung out,
in tones as hoarse as ravens, to
pitch him up his "blooming port
mantey," had 3 very extraordinary
face. altogether out of proportion with
his head. being, dare say, full third
too small. The back of the skull was
immense, and was covered with hair
coarser than Duckling' s-as coarse as
hemp-yarns. This grew down beside
his ears, and got mixed up with his
streaky whiskers, which bound up the
lower part of his face like tar poul-
tice.
Out of this circle of hair looked
haif-clOsed Chinese eyes. bit of pug
nose, and a square mouth, kept open
so as to show that he wanted four front
teeth. The frame belonging to this
remarkable head and face was singu-
larry vigorous, though grievously mis-
shapen. His long arms went far down
his legs: his back, without having 4
hump. was as round as a shell, and he
looked as if he measured a yard and
half from shoulder to shoulder 1
watched this strange-looking creature
with great curiosity until lost sight of
him in the forecastle.
The men BUSTED over the side with
great alacrity. bawling for their bags
and property to be handed up in a great
variety of accents. There were two
Dutchmen. and copper-colored man.
with African features, among them; the
rest were English.
The moment the last man was on
board, Duckiing cried: "Aft here, some
of you. and ship this gangway. Boat
swain pipe all hands and get the ship
under way" and turning to me with
a wink. he added: If the grub is go
ing to bring more rows, We must fight
'em on the high seas"
There was a little breeze from the
southwest, quite enough to give US
headway against the tide that was rum
ming up the Channel The men, zeal
Gus as all newcomers are, fastened
briskly out and manned the windlass.
Within a quarter of an hour from the
time the first order was given the ship
was under way.
The breeze freshened as we stretched
seaward, and the ship soon carried
deal of canvass. The men seemed
pleased with her pace.
The day was gloriously fine. The
sea was an emerald green. alive with
little leaping waves, each with its mar
row thread of froth.

thought he was dead at first, but they

CANADIAN MILITIA ROW.
Gen. Middleton Severely Criticised
For His Conduct of the Northwest

Campaign.
Special to the Globe.
MONTREAL. Aug. 6.-Canada is threatened
with tirst-class military row. Ever since the
close of the Northwest rebellion and the
knighting of Gen. Middleton by the queen and
the vote to him of $4,000 by the Canadian
parliament,a feeling that he was undeserving
of such rewards has been steadily growing
1t is charged that his incapacity in handling
the Canadian troops led to much unnecessary
loss of life and delay in suppressing the re-
belon, with the resultant enormous expense.
He is credited with great physical courage
but no strategical ability. He is now charged
with garbing the reports Of the subordi-
nate commanders, especially those of
Gen. Strange, an officer of great
ability, who commanded the Alberta field
force and did much to suppress the rebellion.
The French press OF Montreal has taken up
the case of Gen. Strange very warmly, and
the general himself has written to the press
complaining of the injustice done to himself
and his command. One serious charge is that
Gen. Middleton omitted all mention Of the
important engagement at Frenchmans Butte.
The fact that Gen. Middleton was greatly
prejudiced against the French contingent in
the field serving under Gen. Strange, is likely
to lead 10 lively row. Gen. Middleton has
just returned from England and the militia
department has announced its intention of
calling on him Immediately for explanations.

BARTHoLDPs FOUNTAIN.
How the Other American Piece of
His Workmanship Looks.


Few visitors to the national capital
know that this city has the first specimen
Of the sculptor BartholdPs work ever seen
IN this country. 1t is not to be wondered
at that this fact is not generally known,
tor the work was stupidity hidden away IN
the low, fiat grounds adjoining the bo-
tanic gardens, where 1t is never seen. 1t
is in the shape OF a magnificent bronze
fountain, and was brought 10 this country
TO be exhibited at the Centennial Exhibit
ton in Philadelphia. The government
purchased it and it was sent TO Washing
ton and slowed away Tor several years in
the basement of the capitol. Finally
somebody discovered it and it was set up
on the low ground, where 1t now stands,
hidden by a great iron fence and out Of all
harmony with its surroundings. The
water supply in that part OF the city is so
feeble that the fountain Is never kept
playing. The dust has accumulated upon
1t and the grand work is now IN such a
sad state of neglect that it is to he hopeG
that the liberty and American.lOyIngB Bar
tholdi, if he should chance to visit W ash
ington, may pass on without discovering
its hiding place.
