flesh and little finger from his left
hand, still chanting his death song.
Suddenly he whirled around and stabbed
the corporal in the thigh; the corporal
tumbled out of the rear end OF the
wagon and the astonished private
tumbled out OF the front end. Selling
the corporal's Spencer carbine, seven
shooter, the desperate savage sprung
the lever to throw in q cartridge, but
as there was one already in the cham
ber of the piece, this rendered the gun
useless, and while he was working at
the lever he was shot to death by the
guard.
There was another casualty however
Lieutenant Thurston, commanding
the rear guard, seeing the affair while
Satank was working with the gun, rode
up behind him and within a pace or two
OF him fired with his revolver, missing
him, but hitting in the head the team
ster, who fell under his mule; he was
not seriously hurt, how ever.
On reaching Jacksboro, Satanta and
Big Tree were tried and sentenced to
be hanged. The sentence was, how
ever, commuted by Governor Davis Of
Texas to imprisonment for life.
After serving for some time the sem
tence was remitted and they were re-
leased; but the old habit was too strong
for them; they went again on the war;
path, were rearrested and sent to Hunts
vile penitentiary. Big Tree is still
there; but Satanta, tiring OF restraint
some years ago, threw himself from the
topmost tier Of cells to the flags below
and was killed. A suicide Is regarded
as debarring a red man from the happy
hunting grounds, Satanta must have
been desperate indeed.
Tn Sota uioio,ro a
looking specimen of humanity as could
be conceived. Ferocity was stamped
| all over him. Low, receding forehead,
| grizzled hair and wrinkled face, with
| eyes that cleaned with fierce hatred.
| He was even conceded by his own tribe
| OF which he was at one time chief, to
| be a bad man.
Satanta was very large and powerful
man, the war chief and most noted ora
tor OF the tribe. His gift of speech was
wonderful, and it is said that when he
was to speak the Cheyennes, Arapahoes
aud other tribes would flock to hear
him.
| Big Tree, the youngest OF the trio,
was physically as fine a specimen of In
| dian manhood as the writer has ever
seen. Six feet tall, beautifully propor-
toned and with handsome face, he
carried within HIM the heart of devil.
Entwined in his scalp lock he carried
the golden hair Of some poor little
white girl whom he boasted that he had
outraged and murdered.
Such is brief history of a massacre
that created an intense excitement
through western Texas, and made many
settlers agree with General Sheridan
when he remarked that if he had to
live in hell or Texas he would sell
Texas and live in the other place.

CHAPTER XXVII.
I ENCOUNTER A INHALER.


 had been six days and nights at sea, and the morning of the seventh day had come With the exception of one day of strong southwesterly winds, which ran me some thing to the northward, the weather had been fine-bitterly cold, indeed, but bright and clear. In this time I had run distance of about 05O miles to the east, and with no other cloths upon the schooner but her spritsail.
 On the morning of the seventh day came on deck, having slept since o'clock.
 On looking over the larboard bulwark rail, the first thing I saw was a ship about two miles off. She was on the larboard tack under courses, topsails and maintopgallant sail, heading as if to cross my bows The sunshine made her canvas look as white as snow against the skirts of the body of vapor that had trailed little to leeward of her, and her black hull flashed as though she dis charged broadside every time she rose wet to the northern glory out of the hollow of the swell with curl of silver at her cut water.
 My heart came into my throat; seemed not to breathe; not to have saved my life could have uttered cry, so amazed and transported was I by this unexpected appari- tion. stared like one in a dream, and my head felt as if all the blood in my body had surged into it. But then, all on sudden, there happened revulsion of feeling Sup pose she should prove privateer-a French war vessel-of nation hostile to my ownl Thought so wrought in me that I trembled like an idiot in a fright The telescope was too weak to resolve her-f could do better with my eyes; and stood at the bulwarks gazing and gazing, as if she were the specter ship of the Scandinavian legend,
 There were flags below, and ] could have hoisted signal of distress; but to what pur- pose? If the appearance of the schooner did not sufficiently illustrate her condition, there was certainly no virtue in the language and | declarations of bunting to exceed her own mute assurance. watched her with pas sion of anxiety, never doubting her intention to sneak to meat all events to draw close and look at me-wholly concerning myself with her character The swell made us both dance, and the blue brows of the rollers would often hide her to the height of he1 rails: but we were closing each other mid

could just make out the dim, pallid loom oI the coast of ice upon the starboard beam, ana blob or two of faintness-most elusive and not to be fixed by the eye staring straight at Inem-on ths larboard bow. But it was pot long before 1hese blobs, as I term them, grew plalner, and half score swan into the dusK over the bowsprit end, and resembled duli small visionary openings in the dark sky there, or like stars magniied and dimmed into the merest spectral light by mist. passed the first at a distance of quarter of mile; it slid by phantasmally, and another stole out right ahead.
 This could have gone widely clear of by little shift of the helm; but while was in the act of starboarding three or four bel1ss suddenly showed on the larboard bow, and l that unless had a mind to bring tt:e ship into the trough again I must keep straight on. So steered to bring the be<g that was right ahead little on the bow, with prayer in my soul that there might be no low lying block in the road for the schooner to split upon. It went by within pistol shot, was very much accustomed to the sight of ice by this time, yet found myself glancing at this mass with pretty near as much won der and awe as if I had never seen such a thing before. It was not above thirty feet high, but its shape was exactly that of @ horses head-the lips slipping the sea, the ears cooked, the neck arching to the water You would have said it was some vast courser rising out of the deep. The peculiar radiance of ice trembled off it like luminous mist into the dusk. The water boiled about its nose, and suggested frothing caused by the monster steed's expelled breath. Let a fire have been kindled to glow red where you looked for the eye, and the illusion would have been frightfully grand. Half this ice came from the island; the rest of it was formed of bergs too tall to have ever be- longed to the north end of that great stretch It took three hours to pass clear of them, and then had to go on clinging to the tiller and steering in a most melancholy, famished con- dition for another long half hour before could satisfy myself that the was free But now I was nearly dead with the cold. had stood for five hours at the helm, during | all which time my mind had been wound up to the fercest tension of anxiety, and my eyes felt as if they were strained out of their sockets by their searching of the gloom ahead l and nature, having done her best, gave out suddenly, and not to have saved my life could I have stood at the tiller for another ten minutes
 The gear along the rail was so iron hard that could not secure the helm with it, SO softened some lashings by holding them be- fore the fire; and finding the schooner on my return to be coming round to starboard, l helped her by putting the tiller hard a-port and securing it. I then went below, built up the fire, lighted my pipe and sat down fo, warmth and rest,
