ana Cromwell would have gone mad with
delight To the best of my recollection, the
apparel that had been left us by the Ameri-
can captain (who, as you know, had cleared
the forecastle of the clothes there consisted
Of several coats of cut velvet, trimmed with
gold and silver lace, some frocks Of white
drab with large plate buttons, brocade waist
coats of blue satin and green silk, crimson
and other colored cloth breeches, along with
some cloaks, three corner hats, black and
white stockings, number of ruffled shirts,
and other articles of which recollect the
character, though my ignorance of the cos
TUNES of that period prevents me from nam
ing them.
Any one acquainted with the negroes de-
light in colored clothes, will hardly need to
be told of the extravagant Joy raised in the
black breasts of Cromwell and Pitt by my
distribution of this fine attire. The lace, to
be sure, was furnished, and some of the colors
faded, but all the same the apparel furnished
a brave show; and such was the avidity
with which the poor creatures snatched at
the garments as l offered them first to one
and then another, that believe they would
have been perfectly satisfied with the clothes
alone as payment for their services. l made
SLlo VI phc iudi oOi ucNht VI iooho
poop, rather, that all might be present
Wilkinson was at the tiller. and appeared
highly delighted with the bundle allotted
him, saying that he might reckon upon a
hearty welcome from his wife when she came
to know what was ia his chest. The negroes
were wild to clothe themselves at once;
advised them to wait for the warm weather,
but they were too impatient to put on their
fine feathers to heed my advice They ran
below, and were gone half an hour, dur
ing which time / have no doubt they
tried on all they had; and when at last
they returned their appearance was so
exquisitely absurd that l laughed till l came
near to suffocating. Each negro had tied a
silver laced hat on to his woOlly head; one
wore pair of crimson, the other pair of
black velvet breeches; over their cucumber
shanks they had drawn white silk stockings,
regardless of the cold; their feet were in
cased in buckled shoes, and their costumes
were completed by scarlet and blue waist
coats, which fell to their knees, and crimson
and blue coats with immense skirts. What
struck me as most astonishing was their
gravity. Their self complacency was pro-
digious; they eyed each other with dignified
appreciation, and strutted with the air Of
provincial mayors and aldermen newly ar
rived from the presence of royalty.

wnIcn the Frenchman had slept, one taking
the others place as he was relieved.
/ asked Wilkinson what he thought of the
schooner. He answered that he was watch
ing her.
"There's nothin' to find fault with YETI
said he; "she's whale at rolling, sartinly.
l guess she walks, though. l reckon she's
had enough of the sea, like me, and's got the
scent O. the land in her nose. l guess old
Noah wasn't far off when her lines was laid
Mebbe his sons had the building of her.
There's something scriptural in her cut. How
Odds she, masters"
Fifty years and more" said l.
'Dere's muffin partickler in dat" cried
Cromwell. Il knows a vessel dat am 104
years old, selp me as stand.
II don't know how the whaler's heading"
said |, but this schooner's canoe if we
aren't dropping her!'
Indeed she was scarce visible astern-mere
windy flicker, lowering upon the pale fash
ings of the foam. It might be perhaps that
the whaler was making a more northery
course than we, and under very snug canvas,
though ours was snug enough too; but be this
as it may, was nightly pleased with the
slipping qualities of the schooner | never
could have dreamed that so odd and ugly a
figure of a ship would show such heels. But
l think this we are too prone to view the
handiwork of our sires with contempt do not
know but that their ships were as fast as ours.
They made many good passages. They might
have proved themselves feeter navigators
had they had the sextant and chronometer to
help them along. Fifty years hence, perhaps,
mankind will be laughing at our crudities-
we, by Heaven, who flatter ourselves that the
art of shipbuilding and navigation will never
be carried higher than the pitch to which we
have raised them!
Cromwell being at the tiller, told Billy
Pitt to so below and get supper, fnstructing
him what to dress and how much to mix for
a bowl-for, as you know, there was nothing
but spirits and wine to season our repasts
with l saw Cromwell grin widely into the
pinnacle candle flame when he heard me talk
of ham, tongue, sweetmeats, marmalade, and
the like for supper, together with a can of hot
claret, and knowing sailors nature middling
well, | did not doubt that the fare of the
schooner you'll bring the three men more
into love with the adventure than even the
reward that was to follow it.

CHAPTER XVIII.

I STRIKE A BARGAIN WITH THE YANKEE
The captain put his cup down; the bowl
was empty; offered to brew another jorum,
but he thanked me and said no, adding sig
nificantly that he would have no more here
by which he meant that he would brew for
himself in his own ship anon. The drink had
made him cheerful and good natured. He
recommended that we should go ON deck and
set about trans-Shippng while the weather
held, for he was an old hand in these seas,
and never trusted the skies longer than
quarter of an hour.
"This here list" says he, wants remedy
ing, and that'll follow our easin' of the hold n
"Yes," said l, land l should be mighty
thankful if some of your men would see all
clear aloft for me, that we might start with
running rigging that'll travel, capstans
thatll revolve, and sails that'll spread"
ooh, We'll manage that for you," said he
''Tru-ly she's been bad froze-very bad froze
burned if ever see a worse freeze"
So saying, he called to Bill, who seemed
the principal man of the boats crew, and
gave him some directions and Immediately
afterward all the men entered the boat and
rowed away to the ship.
While they were absent carried the cap
tain into the hold and left him to overhaul
it. told him that all the spirits, provisions
and the like were in the hold and lazarette,
which was true enough-wanting to keep
him out of the run-thOugh, thanks to the
precaution L had TAKEN was in no fear even
If he should penetrate so deep aft. Before
he came out five-and-twenty stout fellows
arrived in four boats from the ship, and
when we went on deck we found them going
the rounds of the vessel, scraping the guns to
get view of them, peering down the COM
panion, overhauling the forecastle well, as l
call the hollow beyond the forecastle, and
staring aloft with their faces full of grinning
wonder. The captain sang out to them,
and they all mustered aft.
'Now, lads" said he, "there big Job be-
fore you-a big job for Cape Horn, mean :;
and you'll have to slip through it as if you
was grease When done there'll be carouse,
and I'll warrant ye all such sup that the
most romantic among yell never cast an
other pining thought in the direction O. your
mothers milk"
Having delivered this preface, he divided
the men into two gangs-one, under the
boatswain, to attend to the rigging, clear the
canvas of the ice, get the pumps and the cap
STAINS to work, and see all ready for getting
sail on the schooner; the other, under the
second mate, TO get tackles aloft and break
out the cargo, taking care to trim ship while
SO doing.
They fell to their several jobs with will

OUR PROGRESS TO THE cHANNE

OUR PROGRESS TO THE CHANNEL.
When I started to relate my adventure
never designed to write an account of the
journey home at large. On the contrary,
foresaw that, by the time had arrived at
this part, you would have had enough of the
sea. Let me now, then, be as brief as pos
sble
The melting Of the ice and the slowly in
creasing power of the sun were inexpressibly
consoling to me, who had had so much of the
cold that l do protest if Elysium were bleak,
no matter how radiant and the abode of the
fiends as hot as it is pictured, would choose
to turn my back upon the angels. 1 cannot
say, however, that the sooner was properly
thawed until we were hard upon the parallels
of the Falkland Islands; she then showed her
timbers naked to the sun, and exposed a
brown solid deck rendered ugly by several
dark patches, which, scrape as we might, we
could not obliterate We struck, the guns

They're in keepin' with the schooner, any
ways" said Wilkinson.
And so, perhaps, they were. The antique
fabric needed the sparkle of those costumes
on her deck to make her aspect fit in with
the imaginations she bred. But, as 1 had,
anticipated, the cold proved too powerful for
their conceit, and they were presently glad
to ship their more modern trousers, though
they chung obstinately to their waistcoats,
and could not be persuaded to remove their
hats on any account whatever.

"This," says the World, sis striking

Advice from Ingersoll.

People think that il the thieves are
sent to the penitentiary that is the last
Of the thieves; that If those who kill 9TH
ers are hanged, society is on the safe
and enduring basis. A man comes to
your front and you drive him away.
You have an idea that mans case is set
tied. You are mistaken. He goes to
the back door. He is driven away.
But the case is not yet settled.
The next thing you know he enters at
night. He is a burglar. He is caught;
is convicted; lie is sent to the peniten-
tiary, and you must imagine that the
case is settled. But it is not. You
must remember that you have to keep
agencies in life for the purpose of taking
care Of these people. You have to build
and maintain your penitentiaries, your
courts of justice; you have to pay your
judges, your district attorneys, your jur-
les, your witnesses, your detectives, your
police all these people must be paid.
So that, after all, it is very expensive
way of settling this question. You
could have done it far more cheaply had
you found this burglar when he was a
child, had you taken his father and moth
or from the tenement house, or had you
compelled the owners to keep the tene-
ment clean; or if You had widened the
streets, if you had planted few trees, if
you had plenty of baths, if you had had
a school in the neighborhood. If you
had taken some interest in this family
some interest in this child-instead Of
breaking into houses he might have
been builder Of houses Ingersoll.
