slowly and surely gained upon her.
Every inch of canvas was set on the
Englishman, and the men stood to
their posts, Obedient to the last COM
mand. On sped the vessels, flying like
frightened sea birds and taxing every
effort, while block and tackle creaked
and groaned in the wearing.
Soon the SLAYER was seen throwing
overheard casks, spars and masts. The
sea seemed filled with wreckage. But
still the Firefy was gradually gaining
At last shot struck the mizzen mast
of the l''nameless'' and shattered it.
The Firefy rounded to the windward.
''Away the first cutter!" came the
voice of the boatswain's mate in
hoarse roar.
It's crew -sprang forward and low
cred it. A moment later it was skim
ming away with the first lieutenant
and heading for the SLAYER. Climbing
aboard, the officer looked for the cap
tain
"WhO commands here?" he demand
ed of the men, who stood looking sui
lenly at him.
A black-visaged man was pointed
out standing aft near the cabin. The
lieutenant strobe toward him and de-
manded the vessel and cargo
"The nameless" was put in charge
of officers from the sloop, and the crew
were left to work the vessel, which
kept within hailing distance of the
Firefy. The men were a mixture of
Portuguese, Spanish, Italian and
Frenchmen. The captain was given
the freedom of the deck
The SLAYER was a fine prize-a full
rugged ship in good condition. Three
hundred slaves were packed between
decks like sardines in box. There
was prize for officers and men, a
sum equal to half the value of the ship
and her outfit, and five pounds for
each SLAYER captured, amounting IN
this case to nearly eighteen thousand
dollars.
The slaves were taken from their
cramped position, washed with sea
water and properly fed. After the YES
sci arrived at Monrovia they were
landed and bound out to citizens
Good results came from the transac-
ton.
The crew and captain of "the name
less escaped. Nothing was ever heard
of them. The vessel was taken to Eng
land and sold. The proceeds of the
sale were divided among the men of

lied that lying trick had been play
ed upon him, he Immediately put out
to sea in pursuit of the SLAYER.
In the course of few weeks, while
the Englishman was cruising about,
near the Congo, the lookout in the
topsail sang out the cry
'Sail ho!"
"Where away?" sharply asked the
officer of the deck.
"a point for'ard of the weather
beam, SIR was the reply.
Every eye was turned in the direc-
ton indicated. Sure enough, bright
and glistening in the moonlight, the
sails were seen, hull down, with the
upper parts in view. Glasses were
levelled upon her, and the vessel was
recognized as ''the nameless.''
'Lay aft to the braces! Haul sharp
up! Down mainstack and sheets!
q,
now, lads, Ively!" shouted the officer
of the deck, and the calls were re-
peated by the boatswain's mates.
The sloop came up in the wind and
the chase began. The sharp, clear
tones of the officer of the deck as he
issued his orders, followed by the
1,,,c, ~ L e,
mates, gave shrill notice throughout
the ship, and the hoarse voices, one
after another repeating the COM
mands like rolling echoes of thunder
in mountain glens, hurried every man
to his post, and showed the excellent
discipline of an English man-of-war
and the eagerness of the men for the
chase.
1t was clear as day, made so by that
wonderfully soft light which the
moon gives only in the tropics. The
sails of the SLAYER were as white as a
handkerchief. The breeze had stiffen-
ed and the two vessels were speeding

hour. The SLAYER tackled ship; the
English sloop did the same. The jib
of the SLAYER futtered, her bow swung
to the wind, her main yards were
hauled, she turned upon her heel, and
with the quicl<ness and precision of a
man-of-war' s-man she went on an
other tack and beat to windward. The
English vessel followed like fate, now
and then firing shot as signal to
heave to.
Orders were now given to aim at
her upper spars, as the hull might be
full of negroes.
''Heave to, there, or we'll sink you'll
roared the officer through his speak
ing trumpet; but no answer was
given.

trading with the Indians for palm Oil,
ivory, and other valuable products.
The vessel remained in African wa
ters three or four years at a time, re-
turning to Europe only for necessary
repairs. The crew consisted of seven
white men and twenty natives, com
manded by Captain Frederickson, Of
Hamburg, Germany.
An English steamer carrying mail
freight and passengers between Lon
don and Cape Town, stopped once a
month. The crew of the Liberia were
expecting freight and mail on the
steamer, and after it's arrival would
proceed down the coast.
''There must be something wrong
with the mail steamer, Hans" said
the captain to the mate, one after

coming. 1t does not look like the
mail steamer, but like a man-of-war.
1t is a pity the nameless' clear the
coast Yesterday
''The nameless' was a French full
rugged ship. 1t bore no name, and
hailed from nowhere in particular. 1t
carried a crew of thirty-five men, and
was engaged in the slave trade.
In short time the vessel appeared
very distinctly. 1t was then seen to
be the mail steamer with "the name
less in tow.
''Why, what's wrong with the
slaver?" said Captain Frederickson.
"Her sails hang in a condition that
shows no regular seamen are hand
ling her.
Immediately all the crew gathered
along the railing of the Liberia and
wonderingly watched the approach of
the two vessels. The natives on shore,
ever alert to meet new arrivals, APP
peared in large numbers on the beach,
and soon hundreds of them were pad
ding toward the incoming vessels.
The deck and rigging of the SLAYER
were seen to be swarming with
blacks, plaintively crying and gesticu
lating for the canoes to take them
ashore. Over the railing and into the
sea scores of them leaped, all the time
keeping up shrill cries of "Slaver!
Slaver!''
''Lower away boat! | am going
aboard the steamer to see what's the
natter" shouted Frederickson.
In few moments he reached the
main steamer and clambered aboard.
'Where is the crew of the SLAYER
got them in irons?" he asked, advanc-
ing to the captain of the steamer.
''No. While we were standing on our
course yesterday we saw full rugged
ship rolling in the trough of the sea.
All the light canvas and the mainsail
were furled, and single reefs tied to
the top-sails. The vessel fell into the
hollows of the swell and rolled and
swayed from side to side. The vessel
was drifting, and the people on board
did not know how to control her. The

The vessel was handed over to the
authorities, with instructions to hold
it until an English man-or-war should
arrive and take it as a prize. Presi-
dent Roberts sent crew aboard, and
the steamer, after transferring some
freight and the mail, proceeded ON
her way.
