believe she has over dozen soldiers on
her decks
We then left the decks to the convicts.
Those armed with muskets were ranged
along the bulwarks, and those without
were looking for other sorts of weapons.
What followed we gathered by hearing
instead of seeing. The schooner was
satisfied that the convicts had boarded
the brig, and knowing that they would
make a fight for it, she steered boldly
down and laid US aboard. There were
~ soldiers and seven or eight sail
ors on her decks, and armed with cut
lasses and muskets and pistols they
swarmed over the rails in a fierce at
tack. For ten minutes there was a
lively battle above us. When at last
we heard loud cheering we rushed up
in belief that the convicts had been
overcome. To our surprise, we found
that they had driven the soldiers back
The odds had been heavily against them
but they had fought like demons. One
of their number had been killed and
two badly wounded. In addition the
convicts had secured three more mus
kets and two or three cutlasses and pis-
tolls, and were firing down upon the
schooner's decks, compelling her people
to keep under cover. Had they desired
they could have boarded her and made
everyone prisoner. When I saw how
things were, I suggested this to the
leader, but he smilingly replied:
"Ah! no! She is smaller than the brig
and poor sailer; we do not want her.
For an hour the schooner was held
captive. Then she was Tended off, and
after she had drifted half mile away
her people appeared on deck and Were
very brave. They wasted good many
cartridges in long-range firing. and
finally lowered boat and sent the
lieutenant of marines to US with a de.

a flag of truce, but they hooted and
jeered; he finally rowed away, but soon
returned with an offer to grant them
immunity if they would return with the
schooner to the colony. This PROPOSE
ton also was hooted at, and the lieu
tenant was ordered of. When he had
been taken aboard, the schooner headed
away for the coast.
The dead were simply cast overheard,
but the convicts asked our assistance
to care for the wounded. That we gave

attic, that we had better feeling

about, as one might expect, but uttered
a cheer as the schooner turned tail, and
had but little to say. When the dead
ha6 been launched overheard and the
wounded attended to, the leader of the
convicts said to Capt. Bright:
II think you had better now proceed
Oil the voyage, but you will stand down
the coast until the schooner is out of
sight. If overhauled again we might
not be SO lucky"
We ran to the south for ten miles,
then came about and headed up the
coast, at the same time edging further
out to sea. None of us wanted another
fight on his hands, and the captain
was anxious to reach the Florida coast
ard get rid of his visitors. As was after
ward ascertained, two other craft
were sent out from Cayenne in search,
but neither sighted us. From one Of
the wounded soldiers I gathered the
particulars of the escape OF the con-
victs. They were loading vessel at
the wharf when the yawl was pulled in
by some sailors from bark at anchor a
mile away. There were six soldiers
guarding the convicts, some on the
wharf and some on the ship, and at =
killed, but the other four suffered Sc
we're injuries. Before an alarm had
reached the prison sheds, half mile
away, the convicts had seized the yawl
and put to sea. They were pursued by
other small boats, but the yawl out
sailed them.
The wounded soldiers at first expected
to be put to death by the convicts, but
not a man had even harsh word for
them. If the fellows had had liquor
there is no telling how free they might
have made with the brig, but as it was
no lot of passengers could have be-
haved better. One of them had few
hot words with the cook one day, and
the leader of the gang walked up to
! him and said:
Julius, we are not here to make
trouble, but to regain our liberty. Stop
this thing at once. If you can't rest
content, I will give you six inches OF
cold steel and throw your carcass to the
sharks!"
The one sailor among them offered his
services and insisted on doing sailors
work, while the rest of them were al
ways at hand whenever there was pull
ing or hauling to be done. Not a ques-
ton was asked as to the direction we
were steering; they took it for granted
that the captain would keep his word
The leader paced the deck with me for
two hours one night, and asked many
questions concerning the United States.
He declared, and he seemed sincere
that his crime was the killing of a man
under extreme provocation, and that he
Williston graphic. (Williston, Williams County, N.D.) 1895-1919, 1897-10-15

intended to make an honest living in
the states. He said there were others
with the same intentions, but that
about half the gang were bad men and
would soon land in prison. Not one of
the fellows had penny, and all were
still in convict dress. How they were
to manage without stripping forcastle
and cabin I could not figure out. The
captain had $500 aboard, and think he
expected to be asked for it when the
convicts were ready to depart. Per-
hap s he would have been but for his own
sensible action.
When we were within 20 miles of
Abaco island, off the southernmost point
oi Florida, he called three of the con-
victs into the cabin and had long talk
with them. He advised them to land
OF the island and remain for a day or
two, then proceed along the coast in
their boat. He gave each man of the
gang five dollars in silver, and from
| the slop chest, the cabin and the fore
castle he rugged them out in such gar
ments that they might pass for ship
wrecked sailors. When they came out
of the cabin they held general talk
! and agreed on the story they were to
tell, and as fast as they could change
their clothes the prison dress was
thrown overheard.
At three o'clock one afternoon we ran
in close to Abaco, and the big yawl
was lowered and provided with water
| and provisions. Each and every con-
/ vict shook hands all around and ex-
pressed his gratitude; then one by one
they dropped into their boat in an or
derby manner. When the last one was
in the boat showed off, the gang gave
us cheer, and we were not yet out of
Sight when they landed on the island.

wards, though something must have
been published in the papers about
their arrival at some port: but they
had dealt so fairly by the Comet that,

the circumstances it cannot be helped"
"You have big boat here" said the
captain, as he stepped to the rail, land
why don't YOU make use of it to 60
where you will?"
For the reason that there is only one
sailor among us, and because it is a
pretty long run up to the American
coast. We have our plans, and they
cannot be altered. With all respect, l
say that you must land us where we
wish.'
"You have possession,' said the cap
tain, as he paced back and forth, land
1 am forced to do as you wish. Let
there be no trouble. Twill agree to land
you on the coast of Florida, and you
shall agree to preserve order among
your fellows, and to leave the ship with
out act of violence"
''Sir, give you my word that it shall
be So" replied the leader; and that
ended the talk.
The convicts had no dunnage, but
were to berth under the topgallant fore
castle Their boat would be wanted to
set them ashore, and it was hoisted on
deck. This job had just been concluded
when sail was sighted in the east. She
had breeze with her and was headed
in our direction. She had approached
within two miles before we got the first
| puff. She was coasting schooner, but
| we could not make out her nationality
until she few her flag. Then we saw
that she was French, and had no doubt
that she was sent in pursuit of the con-
| victs. The men began to mutter and
curse as they realized her mission, and
the leader asked for Capt. Bright and
said to him:
THAT schooner has been sent in pur-
suit of us, and is probably aware that
! we are on board. We have six muskets
| and plenty of ammunition, and we shall
fight her. You will please order your
crew below that none may be harmed.'
The captain nodded to us to dispose of
ourselves as we saw fit and retreated to
his cabin without a word. He probably
hoped. as we all did, that the schooner
wouldhave men enough aboard to make
short work of the convicts. Neither Mr..
Rawlins, the chief mate, nor myself left
the deck for time. The Comet had
all plain sail on her. and we wanted
