LOST AT A PROFIT.

A Willy Sea Captain Makes . Losing BE,
That Brought Him . Big Return.
From Biackwood's Magazine
The captain of one rather old and slow
steamer. finding that he would have to be q
long time in China before he received q full
cargo Of tea, and would have probably to re.
turn in ballast, began, to every ones astonish-
ment, to say that, owing to the repairs that had
been done to his engines, h hoped to make q
racing passage.
Then, still more to the establishment of the
captains OF the fast steamers and the world al
large, he commenced to back himself to make
the fastest passage homo.
In such very considerable sums of money did
he wager that people began to think there was
something In it, and the merchants sent their
tea almost entirely by his ship, arguing that,
as the captain stood to lose $500, the re-
pairs to his steamers engines had probably put
him In position to bet almost on q certainty.
VI course the steamer, whose greatest speed
was eight knots an hour, arrived in England
weeks after the others, and the captain lost his
4500; but instead Of having. to lie in
China waiting his chance Of cargo coming in
from the interiors; probable delay Of weeks
ne had cleared in few days, after his bets be-
came known to the public, with full ship, thus
recouping to his owners, who OF course paid
ms betting losses, a considerable number of
Thousands OF pounds profit.
