a fortnight past had given place to look of
intense satisfaction. He stepped smartly, his
tones were quick and his whole presence
bristled with electricity. Looking up, he
shouted in stentorian tones;
"Aloft, there All hands loose sailr'
At an order so unexpected the men stopped
the work of furling and looked at one an
other.
What does the fool mean'n said one man,
and then those who could steady themselves
looked down. The ships officers and the
steward and cook were on deck, each wearing
a pair of revolvers Mr. Herbert and the
third mate stood at the weather, and he sec

shroads and a handsDike leaned against :
rail by the side OF eaeh. Inc captain, nanKea
by the steward and cook, stood on the poop,
whence they commanded with their weapons
the main deck and rigging.
Come, DO lively thereln shouted Mr. Her
bert, sternly; throw these gaskets loosen
One or two old sailors, from a mechanical
habit of obedience, began to unite the gas
kets 80 lately fastened; the rest Of the meu
consulted together hurredly. Their delib-
erations were cut short by the rage and fury
of one big fellow, their ringleader. who
erowding past the rest on tho main yard
shouted:
Come on, boysl We may as well have II
out with them, once for all. -
YES, come on, you rascalsy and have ii

man that leaves the rigging without order,

The ringleader began to descend the weather
ratlines, and nearly all the men IN the rigging
started to follow him. Those in the lower
rigging struck the deck first but they coulC
only come two at a time. and as they leapes
from the shrouds they met the handspikes II
the hands of the officers stationed at the rail
and were tumblel senseless one above TIL
other in a heap on deck, the big ringleade
under all the rest.
By the time seven mutineers had been dis

the revolvers had begun to crack merrill,
from the poop, the men still in the rigging

After the yards had been hoisted, the sail

There was no more swatch and watch O
