CHAPTER XXI.

The cargo of the bort was soon
ready and Philip sailed and arrived at
Amsterdam without any further adj
venture That he reached his cottage,
and was received with delight by
Anime, need hardly be said. She had
been expecting him; for the two ships
of the squadron, which had sailed on
his arrival at Batavia, and which had
charge of his dispatches, had, OF
course, carried letters from him dur
ing his voyages. Six weeks after the
letters, Philip himself made his APP
pearance, and Anime was happy. The
directors were, of course, highly sat-
isfied with Philips conduct, and he
was appointed to the command Of a
large armed ship, which was to pro-
coed to India in the spring, and one
third of which, according to agree
ment, was purchased by Philip out OF
the funds which he had in the hands
of the company. He had now five
months of quiet and repose to pass
away previous to his once more trust
ing to the elements; and this time, as
it was agreed, he had to make arrange
ments on board for the reception OF
Anime.
The winter passed rapidly away, for
it was passed by Philip in quiet and
happiness; the spring came on, the
vessel was to be fitted out, and Philip
and Anime repaired to Amsterdam.
The Utrecht was the name Of the
vessel to which he had been appointed,
ship of four hundred tons, newly
launched and pierced for twenty-four
guns. Two more months passed away,
during which Philip superintendent the
fitting, and loading of the vessel, as
sisted by his favorite Krantz, who
served in her as first mate. Every
convenience and comfort that Philip
could think of was prepared for
Anime; and in the month of May he
started, with orders to stop at Gam
broom and Ceylon, run down the
Straits of Sumatra, and from thence to
force his way into the China seas, the
company having every reason to expect
from the Portuguese the most deter
mined opposition to the attempt. His
ships company was numerous, and ne
had a small detachment of soldiers on
board to assist the supercargo, who
carried out many thousand dollars to
make purchases at ports in China,
where .heir goods might not be ap-
preciated. Every care had been taken
in the equipment of the vessel, which
was perhaps the finest, the best
manned and freighted with the most
valuable cargo, which had ever been
sent out by the India Company.

mistaken report of his death, his love,
his sorrow for her grief, and at last an
earnest plea that she would prove more
kind than in the past.
AS she listened delicate flush crept
into the lady's pale, sweet face. The
shadow that rested in the deep, blue
eyes lifted. She looked searchingly at
the man before her. Could this really
be her young lover, returned in the
guise of this impetuous elderly man?
She had neve rthought Of him save as
the soldier boy who had gone away at
her bidding. At last she seemed to
understand. For moment the corners
of the lovely mouth forgot to droop.
BY the light Of memory the man and
woman grew young again.
When his torrent Of words ceased
she stood silent for some moments, and
then held out her hand as she softly
said:

CHAPTER XXI

The officer went to the gangWay, Dut
found that none of his crew, except
the bowman, were in the boat; they
had gone up to gain from the men OF
the bort the true history of what they
but imperfectly heard; and before they
we're summoned to return had re-
ceived full intelligence. They coin
cided with the seamen of the bort that
the appearance of the Phantom Ship,
which had occasioned their present
disaster, was a judgment upon the ad-
miral for his conduct in having so
cruelty deserted the poor commodore.
Upon the return of the officer with
Philips answer, the rage of the ad-
miral was beyond all bounds. He Or
dered the guns aft, which would bear
upon the bort, to be double-shotted,
and fired into her; but Krantz pointed
out to him that they could not bring
more guns to bear upon the bort in
their present situation, than the bort
could bring to bear upon them; that
their superior force was thus neutral
lied, and that no advantage could re-
suit from taking such a step. The
admiral Immediately put Krantz under
arrest, and proceeded to put into exc
cuthon his insane intentions. In this
he was, however, prevented by the
seamen of the Lion, who neither wish
ed to fire upon their consort nor to be
fired at in return. The report of the
boats crew had been circulated
through the ship, and the men felt too
much ill-will against the admiral, and
perceived at the same time the ex-
treme difficulty of their situation, to
wish to make it worse. They did not
proceed to open mutiny, but they went
down below, and when the officers or
dered them up they refused to go upon
deck; and the officers. who were equal
Nv disguised with the admiral's con-
duct, merely informed him of the state
of the ships company, without naming
individuals so as to excite his resent
ment against anyone in particular.
Such was the state of affairs when the
sun went down. Nothing had been
done on board the admiral's ship, for
Krantz was under arrest, and the ad-
miral had retire, n state of fury to
his cabin.
In the meantime Philip and the
ships company had not been idle; they
had laid an anchor out astern, and hove
taut; they had started all the water,
and were pumping It out, when a boat
pulled alongside, and Krantz made his
appearance on deck.

CHAPTER (Continued.)
That the admiral had exceeded his
powers in taking the life Of the officer
was undeniable, as although his In
structions gave him the power of LIE
and death, still it was only to be de-
cided by the sentence of the court-mar-
tial held by the captains commanding
the vessels of the fleet; he therefore
felt himself justified in resistance. But
Philip was troubled with the idea that
such resistance might lead to much
bloodshed; and he was still DEBATING
how to act, when they reported TO MIN
tina. there was boat coming from the
admirals ship Philip went upon the
deck to receive the officer, who stated
that it was the admiraIs order that
he should Immediately come on board,
and that he must consider himself now

"Silence, men! silence!" cried Philip.
"You must be aware, sir" said he TO
the officer, that in the cruel punish
ment of that innocent young man, the
admiral has exceeded his powers; and,
much as l regret to see any symptoms
of mutiny and characterization, it must
be remembered that if those in com
mand disobey the orders they have re-
ceiyed by exceeding them, they not
only set the example, but give an ex-
cuse for those who otherwise would be
bound to obey them, to do the same.

minious death. 1t is duty that owe
these men under my command to pre-
serve my life, that l may, If possible
preserve theirs in this strait; and you
may also add that a little reflection
must point out to him that this is no
time for us to war with, but to assist
each other with all our energies. we
are here, shipwrecked on a barren
coast, with provisions insufficient for
any heightened stay, no prospect OF
succor, and little of escape. AS the
commodore truly prophesied, many
more are likely to perish as well as
him-and even the admiral himself
may be of the number. l shall walt

all animosity, and refer our conduct

ceive. and Of course will tell him, that
