ON THE UFpEk iOIOhht.
From the Little Falls to the Free Bridge
there was one scene of wild devastation
along the river 'front.' The water was al
most to the top of the stone abutments OF
The Chain bridge and was rushing down
ward with such intensity that 1t presented
the appearance of miniature Niagara
whirlpool. Many houses along the river
were washed out and carried down the
stream.
The causeway leading to the Aqneduct
bridge is badly damaged. Carriages attempt
inc to cross were stopped by the police after
o'clock yesterday afternoon and 1t was
feared that the causeway would give way
entirely.
The earth has washed out from behind
the Virginia abutment, and the water wss
rapidly forcing its way through. Wofkmen
were set to work, however, constructing a
breakwater. and final damage was averted.
AT Georgetown the water reached an un-
precedeuted height and incacu'abie damage
was done, coal, lumber, wood, Nc, being
washed away by tho flood In Washington
tho water ran way up in the city and boats
were being padded about on the avenue.
The whole population turned out to witness
the novel sight.

From midnight Friday the Baltimore and

cabin was broken down, and their in- sensate rage was first gratified by the destruction of the furniture and bed ding. The lockers were kicked in. and the Captains little stock of wine was instantly consumed. The two bags of gold were discovered. end exultingly brought forth.
 ''Divide-fair playr' several shouted.
 One of the negroes poured out the gold in a glittering heap on the table. As he regarded it with blood-shot eyes, he looked like fiend from the pit Angry faces, flaming with drink, gath cred round. and some hands clutched the knives again.
 Bring more drink!'' shouted the fellow, who had taken the division upon himself. ':More drink, and we'll divide"
 In q few minutes great bucketfd of the fiery liquid was brought into the cabin, and each man took draught from the tin dipper.
 Then they crowded around the table. Their red eyes glared like the eyes of wild beasts. Their breath came thick and short, and their hands eagerly clutched the gold pieces that were one by one dealt around to them.
 At such time and under such con- ditions it needed but Q spark to cause an explosion. |,
 Two pieces were accidentally handed. to one of the Cubans at once. Half a dozen voices demanded that one of them be given back. The man refused, with an oath; the negro who was mak- ing the distribution leaned over the table, seized him by the throat and plunged his knife into his heart. !, In the twilight obscurity of the cab in the scene that followed could be likened to nothing but raging hell. The table was overturned and the gold was scattered to the corners of the cabin, while the human demons eager ly sought to clutch it. They cut and thrust with their knives; they cursed and screamed; they rolled and fought upon the floor. Horrid gashes were given and received; blood gathered in pools upon the floor. The tumult was dreadful but brief. Some lay dead, others were overcome by exhaustion and the stupor of drunkenness. Silence presently prevailed.
 The moon rose in placid splendor upon that scene of horror and desola- ton. The wind had died away, leav- ing only the long swell of the sea. The bark lay grounded and motionless when the bright moonbeams poured into the cabin and flooded the deck. Dead bodies
 were everywhere. and everywhere l blood.

the night and the ship taken down to the Isle of Pines They say that if you'll give up your pistols, you shall be safely put ashore"
 Captain Willis exchanged . few words with Crawford, while the rene gade continued his talk:
 'Id advise you to do it. You've got firearms, it is true; but they'll do you little good in close quarters. The crew are desperate; you need not look for the slightest quarter if you decline their terms. You may kill one or two of them; but your fate is certain. What do you say? Just hand over your pistols to ma, and I'll tell them you have yielded"
 Answer him." the Captain said, in a low tone to Crawford. Il can't com mand myself to do it. I should cer- tainly shoot him before I said ten words"
 Your terms are declined, sir," said Crawford. I've are all agreed that not the slightest trust can be placed in the crew-and still less in yourself We expect to die; but we prefer to die like brave men, fighting for our lives, rather than give up our arms and be butchered the next moment If any of you think that Captain Willis would give up his ship to lot of mu- tineers while there was breath in his body, then you don't know the man. This barley has lasted long enough; send on your cut-throats, and we'll meet them. Though we never expect to see you where there's any danger" A hoarse murmur. mingled with shouts, came up from the hold.
 II care little for your sneers," said Hunter. "You are in desperate posi- ton, and you might save yourselves if you would be advised by me; but ii you won't, your blood be upon your l own heads. You hear those cries? suspect that means that the crew have got at cask of rum down there, and are priming themselves for their work. For the last time-will you surrenderP'' Back with you!' thundered the Captain. My patience is exhausted I'll have no more parly with such as you"
 l He cooked his revolver and laid il across his arm.
 Louis Hunter heard the alarming click. and tarried no longer. Hurry ing forward, he ran down the ladder and disappeared.

the day. Shortly after meridian the practiccd eye of the Captain detected signs of shoal water. and soundings oms the line soon shortened to six then to four. The bottom soon be- came visible, appearing to be white clay. Far in the distance the Captain with his glass sighted the shores of Elephmra. Small islands were passed; The water shoaled more rapidly. Three fathoms were reported-then two and a half. Sail was laboriously shortened, the mate literally driving tho crew to the yards. The Captain went below to consult his charts.
 The bark now crept along slowly and doubtfuliy. with frequent changes of course. The Captain stood near the wheel, giving continual directions. At one time the water shoalcd to less than two fathoms.
 1.-The island of New Providence is just ahead, Mir. Hardy" said the Captain. II was in hopes to work round to Nassau tonight; but 1 dare not try it. know enough of the Ba- hamas to be cautious of trying to keep course at night in shoal water. think we'll tie up to the shore yonder, if we can find a good anchorage, and wait till morning."
 It was now near sunset. Dick PurviS came to relieve the mate at the wheel. MT. Hardy walked forward. He stum- blcd and fell over something near the | fore-ladder.
 He rose to his feet. What mystery was this? Dick Purvis had just re- lieved him at the wheel-here lay the body of the man himself, hatless, coat less, his skull crushed by a savage blow from the capstan-bar that lay beside him smcarcd with blood.
 A horrid suspicion of the truth flashed upon him. With warning shout he rushed back to the wheel.
 The Captain had just observed , deviation in the course, and angrily COT. rccted it.
 l Que northr' he shouted. "Purvis what's the matter with you?"
 The man at the wheel is an autom aton; he obcys the orders given him and in obeying them, he always repeat the order.
 l On this occasion the Captains direc tion was not repeated. He gave again.
 There was no answer. The man cap was pulled over his eyes; he ben low, as both hands grasped the vince so that his face was concealed.
 "North-due north, I say!' yelle the excited Captain. "You fool, she fallen off three points already"
 And still no answer. The whe' flew round swiftly in the hclmsman : hands, and the vessels bow, obeyin the direction. lay straight toward tf
 shore of the island.

brandishing his knife and shouting to the crew to come on. His towering form was the mark at which both pistols were aimed, and both carried true. He tumbled dead to the deck. with two balls through his body.
 With frantic yell the three remain ing negroes rushed aft, knives in hand. the others closely following. Once more the pistols were heard. One ball broke the arm of one of the Cubans, the other plowcd an ugly ways.
 Nine to three the infuriated muti- neers bounded upon the little group by the wheel.
 There was time for another shot; but both pistols missed fire. At close quarters there was for three minutes a tremendous, but hopeless, struggle.
 The mate, dealing good blow with his bar, was struck to the heart by 8 l knife.
 Captain Willis, struggling to use his revolver again, was seized about the body from behind and thrust half a dozen times through the breast Either of the wounds would have killed him.
 For moment Henry Crawford kept his assailants off by the powerful blows of his fists. His pistol had been knocked from his hand as he tried to use it again. Two men fell before his blows, when a cowardly knife thrust went through his back. He turned and clutched the throat of the negro with both hands. when another knife was driven into his side. He sank to the deck.
 | A yell of triumph went up from the nutineers.
 The groans and curses of the wound cd also broke forth, making the scene Il pandemonium of horrors.
 The prostrate bodies of the brave men who had fallen in defense of the shipwreck were treated with insult and indignity. Kicks were liberally be- slowed upon them, their watches taken, and their pockets rifled.
 The mutinccrs then proceeded to tho
