the hammock and gone to sleep.
The two or three minutes pam
demonium on deck had hardly
awakened him, when the snake
entered without formalities of any
kind.
A wild, Milesian yell, that rose
high above the din on deck, greeted
1t, and in an instant the Irishma
was perched on his engine, one foot
unconsciously resting on the lever
of the salty valve.
"Howly Sint Patrick save me,
for I'm a did mon ate oop alive,
sure! Oh, howly mither, have
mercy on a poor divil that's goin'
down the neck of Satan himself in
less than half a minute, I'm think
in" A string of such calculations
came up from the engine room as
Smith and ! raced for our guns.
When we got them we fled to
Pats relief. Half the snakes length
was on the stairs, but we sprang
down alongside and looked in at
the door. Pat was on the engine,
regardless of scorching shoes, pray
ing to every saint in the calendar,
when the snake raised its head at
least four or five feet in the air,
bringing it just level with the
safety-valve, held down by the Irish
mans foot. He had filled the fur
mace with resinous wood only few
minutes before, and the steam was
up to its highest point. As the
snake raised it's head he raised his
foot, the valve opened and a jet of
steam, as hot as steam could be,
shot out. The anaconda's head was
not six inches away and directly in
line. In second it was blinded,
yes, parboiled, by the steam, and
the next second that room seemed
to be full of writhing, twisting,
squirming anacondas, and bowling,
praying Irishmen.
| Pat lost his balance and fell
when he raised his foot, and though
uninjured, made more noise than a
Methodist camp-meeting. But three
or four cartridges from our rifles
quoted his snakeship, and liberal
supply of strong rum, after we had
! got Pat on deck, quieted his nerves
l in time, and the rest Of the crew, af-
ter large doses Of the same medi-
cine, regained their tranquility Of
natural Incidence, and things were
as they had been once more.
! We measured the snake before
| throwing it overheard and it took
; just twenty-three feet, four inches
of line to do it.-Yankee Blade.
