Accompanied by another he descended
to the captains cabin. Whispering his
Instructions to the two Jersey sailors,
Burton suddenly sprang upon the seaman
left on deck. In a twingling he was down
bound and deprived. of his arms. A mo-
ment later the Yankee captain had fast
ened the midshipman and the second sea
man in the little cabin. and returning. to
the deck called upon the third, clinging
to come down and surrender. The latter,
thoroughly frightened, complied, and the
plucky Burton once more was in COM
plete command of the New Jersey.
LANDED THE BRITISHERS IN JAIL.
Aided by the stiff morning breeze Cap
tain Burton's schooner steered merrily
toward Egg Harbor. In an hour the
vessel was brought to anchor off Somer's
Point, a short distance from it's original
destination. Communication with shore
soon brought assistance and the young
conducted to land as prisoners unde a

Little Egg over the escape of the New
Jersey, and Burton was the hero of the
hour. The Englishmen. like true sail
ors, took their position good naturedly,
and the little officer complimented his
captor on his nerve and ingenuity.
This riale of the sea ends with a note
relative to the disposal of the four
Britishers. In the words of the original
chronicles it is learned that THE prize
master, after a short confinement IN
prison, was exchanged. The two English

JAPANESE DANCING WOMEN.

last night we went into a real japanese
restaurant and a a Japanese dinner,
she writes in the "Home Journal" 1t
seemed to be a prolonged course OF fish
and sweets. When we entered we had to
remoye our shoes, and then we had to
sit on the floor and the food was passed
around by the dancing girls, concerning
whom I spoke before. Three or four OF
them dance while the others sit on the
floor and play on different stringed in
struments, of which he koto is one.
Their dances always tell some sort OF
story. either tragedy or comedy. When
these girls are young, say from IL to IA,
they wear bright colors, but as they grow
older they have to adopt softer tones.
One cannot win their hearts more thor
ouehly than by giving them a gaudy
hairpin OF some kind. They are very like
children in their love for objects of
bright attire or adjournment. They seem
to be very affectionate in manner and
are easily amused. Some of them have
rather pretty faces; in fact, their faces
seem to grow on you, and they look posi-
lively enchanting as they sit en- the floor
or dance. and when one speaks to them
they bow down and almost touch the
floor. Last night l felt as If Twas in a
theatre witnessing a performance of the
ssMikado,' for that play Is certainly a
perfect representation OF the Japanese
