stories of the. prowess on tlie sea of old.

says the New York Sun, that. Capt.
John Dix, q famous shipmaster"of Port
land, was in q West Indian porttonce
where n British man-of-Har was, blaz~
ing away at a target. The British gun
ners were unable TO come. anywhere
near the target, and after watching
their laundering for some time Capt.
Dix loaded nm old, ships gun which he
carried, using q chunk Of. iron. for n
shot. He fred, and when tho smoke
cleared away the target was n wreck.
Immediately a boat from, the mnn-of-
war came alongside, md IN officer in
full uniform came over the rail, ce-
manding an. explanation of. tina YAM
kec's performance. Capt.. DIX assured
the officer that no disrespect IA in
tended-that he only wanted; to give
Ehe Britishers a lesson in gunnery, and
be offered to furnish another hogshead
for them to practice On. After scolding
y littlo the officer burst into q laugh at
the Hhsurdity of the situation. and
went back to his ship. The captain Of
, Yankee p%rivateer, sailing from q
Maine port in 1873, mistook: nm English
seventy-four for an East Indiaman,
ran alongside and ordered her to striko
her colors. The seventy-four's ports
dew open, her broadside was run out,
and the captain replied. 81. am not in

"Well, ifyou won't, I WILL" answered
