CHAPTER vi.
PASSENGERS AND GUARDS.

As the passengers and guards were
all brought into the great trouble which
ultimately fell upon the Hindu, the
reader should at least be introduced to
them. The one single man was named
Haskell. He was about 20 years OF age,
and farmer by occupation. l at first
took him for astupid lout, and all 9th.
ers were inclined to make him butt OF
ridicule, but you will see that his looks
belied him. There were four married
Williams, Roberts, Saunders
and Smith. Williams, as you know,
was Mary's father. The others l knew
nothing about, except they were fair TO
do people who were going out TO the
Colony in hopes to better themselves.
The two single women had been serv-
ants in England and were Miss roster
and Miss White. There were thus IL
adults, while Roberts had two children,
Smith three and Saunders one, making
up 8 more, or 10 passengers in all
The names Of the seven guards were
Hooper, Larkins, Green, Tobias, Iklch-
mond. Tannehill and Martin. All were
English or American, and all CLAIMED
to be men out of work and at least semi
respectable. Hooper was the ex-sergeant
and in charge of the gang. He was bet
ter dressed than the others and was
likewise keen, sharp looking man.
can't say that / mistrusted the man
from the outset, but after reading the
anonymous note handed aboard py
strange hands looked over the seven
and made up my mind that Hooper was
the man to keep an eye on. He had
great gift of CAB, as / soon discovered,
and his position would likewise give
him certain influence.
Very little occurs OH board ship, no
matter how large she is or how many

There was some muttering and CON-
planning, but the people soon came to
think better of it, and thus the affair
ended. From his being in charge OF the
guard, Hooper had privileges not ac-
corded to the others. The fact that he
was strongly against the protest was
brought to my attention. He had q
dozen arguments at his tongues end to
the captains one. Indeed others be-
sides myself remarked ON his overzeal-
BUSINESS. One might argue from this
that he had no fear Of the situation and
was anxious that the voyage should not
be interrupted. but could not help
ask myself il he had not some other OBJ
ject in view. II he was the traitor re-
ferred to in the note. then to turn back
would upset all his plans. The affair
was soon over, however, and for three
or four days everything ran smoothly,
On the afternoon Of the third day we
sighted an, inward bound craft, and
Captain Clark went among the passen-
gers to ask II any desired to be trans
shipped, No one wanted to go, and we
dipped our flag in salute, asked to be
reported and drove ON.
Up to this time only two Of the gangs
had got to work. The 10 men Of the
second gang had claimed to be painters,
blacksmiths and the like, and we could
give them no work on deck until fairly
at sea and everything was shipshape for
lifelong voyage. BensJohnson was in this
| gang, and have no doubt that the men
acted under his instructions in giving
in their occupations. 1t was plan tc
bring them all ON deck, you see, and sc
make it the worse for us. Work they
must, however, and in due time they
were brought up and assigned to differ
ent tasks The rule was that no two
should work together, and that theirs
should be no conversation. In thu
course of fortnight DIR. Haxton pulled
himself together in wonderful shape tt
save his reputation, but one who studied
him closely could not fail to make on
that he was lacking in nerve. If thi
lack was apparent to the captain ant
myself, it most have also been to tn

DR.. Peters. tho "Explorer."

DR.. Peters once wrote book entitled
"Ncw Light on Dark Africa, in which
he shows us the sort Of light that his
work has thrown on that continent. In
August, 1889, he started up tho Tana
river in British East Africa ut the head
Of an armed force Of Somali. Before the
end Of that month, by the capsizing Of
O canoe, he lost, among some loads Of
ammunition and brandy, "the only load
Of beads possessed" He continued
his journey, as he tells us, "without
any articles Of barter"
He Of course had not sufficient food
with him to last for tho whole journey,
and could not have carried it If he had.
In consequence, as he explains, "the
determination to advance without the
requisite articles Of barter once for all
decided the character the expedition
was for the future to bear" AS the car
avian was obliged to get food and had
no money with which to buy it, food
had to be stolen.
The subsequent history Of the expedi-
ton is therefore one long story Of raid,
loot and massacre. No traveller has fol-
lowed in Peters footsteps without feel
ing tho i'll effects Of the distrust Of Eu-
ropeans that has resulted from his ac-
ton. The harm he did cannot be I'M
done in less than q generation. -Satur-

Horses and Flutes.

"They say" wrote Ben Jonson,
''princes learn no art truly but the art
of Craftsmanship. The reason is tho bravo
beast is no fatterer. He will throw
prince as soon as his groom.
The Greek theory Of education, as we
find it in Plato, was Of q twofold kind
lone Of gymnastics relating to the body,
the other Of music for the sake of q good
state Of the soul" Briefly, as Mr.. Pa
ter expresses it, "a gymnastic fused in
music" This system Of education the
Greeks applied no less to the training
Of horses than Of men. In tho earliest
extant treatise on riding, Xenophon
pointed out that horsomanship, like
dancing, was dependent fundamentally
on tho play impulse, that for anything
to be dono we'll it must DO done for
pleasure; "what the horse does under
compulsion is done without understand
ing, and there is no beauty in it any
more than if ono should whip and spur
q dancer" The horse must become an
artist, too, in his manner, and uso his
limbs with rythmical freedom.
So far was this carried that Athenaus
relates how the Sybarites taught even
their horses to dance at their feasts to
the music Of the flute, and on one occa-
sion their enemies put their knowledge
Of this habit to humorous account by
taking out flute players to battle and
winning tho cavalry over to their side
by causing tho horses to dance to IA
vorite air, just as tho Pied Piper played
the rats Of Hamclin into the Weser.-

A good story Of Major Macdonald is

plucky major commanded q battalion Of
Sudanese at the battle Of Toski-brave
blacks who were devoted to him and

battle they disobeyed him for the first

waving their banners and falling prone

tho Sudanese was such that they could
not be made to see that the object Of the

fluent Arabic, and all to no purpose.
