Mr.. Finley the well known timber

6loo acres on the line Of the old LogaA

This is taken as an indication OF the
early extension Of the A. & c. r. road.
as II is understood Mr. Hammond has
become the purchaser Of all the timber

of the sailors were either killed or 6es-
perately wounded, and the others
broke and poured headlong down the
steps.
The captains blood was up, and he
made to follow, but Mr.. lynn caught
him by the sleeve, and in word or
two showed him the danger of it, so
that he reluctantly gave over.
All this time that arch traitor, the
mate, had kept in the background, but
now we heard his voice, and conjec-
tured that he was rating and perhaps
trying to rally his men. 1t seemed
that he had been in the rear of those
who came up from 'tween-decks, but
either from necessity or inclination
had fallen back when Mr.. Tym and the
captain made their final onslaught.
But do what he could the fellows he
was talking to had no heart for fur
ther ventures, and we heard them
break away from him and retreat to
the forward part of the ship. He must
have followed, for it was Immediately
quiet tween decks, and so that point
of our defense seemed to be safe
stood open, just as they had broken it
in, but the misused door only banged
at will with the motion of the ship, and
no one appeared to be near it or to
guard it.
We were now minded to investigate
the condition of the fallen mutineers,
and found all dead. Capt. Sellinger was
for bringing the affair to a head with
out further parley, and would have us
sally out and fall upon the fellows and
cut them down if they would not sur
render. Mr.. Tym opposed this, saying
we were still three against eight, not
including the wounded sailor and old
Lewson (the latter would hardly de-
sert to us as yeti, and in the open deck
we could not expect to work such
havoc as we had in the cabin. In the at
tack here they had fallen on uswithout
order or precision, crowding together
till they could not get the avail Of
their weapons, and missing their shots
because of their hastiness, but on deck
they could spread out and encompass
us front and rear, and would be GER
tain to be more circumspect. But for
the surprise into which they had
been thrown by the sudden call of the
mate, it was doubtful if we could have
gained the day as it was. Better to
wait, then" urged Mr.. Tym, "and let
the rascals call for a truce, which
doubtless they will soon do, being now
light crew for the ship, and likewise
lacking nautical instruments, those
being all here in the cabin"

OF THE STAND THAT WE MADE.
AND DIVERS EVENTS THAT FOL-
LOWED.
l know not what manner ss imple-

passing effectual, for both doors
crashed in at the first assault, and we
caught sight of their pack of bodies
and bristle of weapons. But an in
stant so, and then we all let go in a
volley, making a tremendous noise in
the small place and confusing every
thing with smoke. One fellow in the
opening of a companion fetched
dreadful howl, as high-pitched as a
dogs, and before the sound was well
out of him thrust headlong forward
and crashed down at our feet. The
gang in the door thereupon set up
great roaring and cursing, and in the
midst of it four or five of them dashed
recklessl in. The foremost bent for
ward, and l saw his hand go out with
a pistol in it, but before he could fire
the captain let bang at him and he
fetched up short and gare queer sort
of writhing bow and fell back upon
the threshold. The others hung in the
wind moment, whereupon Capt. Sell
linger raised a great shout and set
upon them with his sword. l had q
moment now t. glance over my shoul-
der, and perceived that Mr.. Tym was
holding the others at bay, they, in
deed, crowding together, cursing and
stamping, but not offering to advance.
Encouraged at this and wishing to be
performing some part, caught up Mr..
Tym's cloak, which l had before neg
lected, wound it around my left arm,
and, having exchanged the pistol for
my sheathknife. advanced pace and
made ready to fall on. BY this time

tinuing also about the lanthorn, till it
had the seeming of beacon in fog.
Nevertheless, upon looking with some
intentness, l made out that the fellows
the captain was fighting were three of
the ordinary sailors, by name Tom
Doll, Will Minton and Jack Wal
ling, all men of fair courage but not
extraordinarily able of body or of
known skill with weapons.
"Have at one of these fellows, sir!"
l shouted to the captain, and, discreet
ly picking out Doll, made bold dash
and so dismayed the rascal that he
fetched his blow at me before the time,
and | closed with him ere he could get
his hanger up again and dug my knife
into his side. He collapsed like an
empty sack, uttering a direful groan,
and at the same moment the captain

Mr.. Tym had now fallen back pace
from his first station, for some of his
adversaries had obtained pistols, and
as we joined him they let go sort of
scattering yolley. Their range was
limited on account of the walls of the
stairs, and no harm was done. There
was bit of silence, but not to men

came bursting up. Then it was that

Have at ye, scum!" yelled the cap

brandshed his sword and ran in upon
the now crowded and confused sea-

sprang to his side, and together they

There is nothing funnier than the
musician who takes himself tremen-

Empires may totter, republics rise
up in their places, but the musician Of
whom I am speaking is not in the least
affected by either. a wholesale massa-
ere does not impress him half as pain
fully as being relegated to a bad place
in a programme.
And when the newspapers are ring.

and deeds of heroism, our friend Is
quite satisfied to cast a glance over
the first page of the Daily Telegraph,
where he no doubt reads to his entire
satisfaction that he will sing The Cor.

the 11th inst, and in Wormwood-
scrubs on the 18th.
| once heard an amusing story of an
obscure singer who flourished a good
many years ago, and who was enor-
mous1y impressed with a sense of his
own Importance. He rarely got an en-
gagement, and when he did his wife
was reduced 10 tears tlII the concert
was thing of the past.
The arrangements of the whole
household were upset. He invariably
insisted on going to the seaside for
at least three days before the concert,
on account of the immense advantage
to be got out of sleeping three nights
il pure air.
Nothing that was provided for the
meals of the rest of the family would
do for him. Mysterious-looking dishes
were brought to table of which the
great man alone was allowed to par
take, while at regular intervals he
drank some strange fluid from an enor-
nous bottle, which his children were
forbidden to touch unless they were
specially desirous of being whipped and
sent to bed supperless.
He also made a point of resting for
three hours every afternoon previous
to the all-important event, an ar
rangement which one would have
hardly thought necessary, seeing that
no power on earth could ever drag him
out of bed before midday. He wouldn't
even practice for fear of firing his
voice!
His repertoire consisted of four
songs, which he had learned in fit of
tremendous energy when be was a
young man.-Cornhill Magazine.
