dayits, the captain and two sailors in
her, and dropped with neat splash
into the water.
Put over the gangway ladder" said
Capt. Sellinger; which we did, and the
other captain was soon with us.
After passing word or two of the
usual sort-that is, concerning their
respective ships, ports and so on
they came to the business in hand, and
Capt. Torrycorn produced his letter.

vana," he said, "a gentleman that you
very likely know. By some going
astray it was put aboard my ship, and
but for you must have taken long
tack before it was delivered"

answered Capt. Sellinger. 81 do not
know Mr.. HopO, but have heard of him,
and understand that he is gentleman
of worth and consequence. But step
into my cabin now, and let us have a
drop, as we say, to sweeten the, ,bilge.
After that we will go into matters
more at large"
Before Capt. Sellinger closed the
door he ordered me to summon Master
Pradey, who was on the after part of
the poop, and likewise to have aboard
che two sailors, that were till now
keeping the gig. l ventured to ask if
we might not, for the ships sake,
broach n cask of ale, and was kindly
answered in the affirmative; where

the ale, all proceeded TO set off their
pipes and gather round for the news.

account of their ship, growled over the
provisions, which. it seems, were of a
particularly wretched sort, and in turn
fell to questioning us. We gave them
the home news, and added some spice

The stranger was in the southwest
ern seaboard, hull down and with only
his topsails and the upper part of his
courses showing, and at the moment
was standing on the starboard tack.
This brought him well forward of our
lee beam. as we were on the larboard
tack and headed somewhat south of
southwest. He was rising rapidly, as
his swift whitening and enlarging
showed, and at this rate would be hull
up and distinct in the course of few
minutes.
OF sudden the captain lowered his
glass and said something to the mate,
/ did not catch what it was, but Master
Pradey gave a nod, as though of salts
faction, and at once swung down to
the deck.
Run up the colors!" he shouted,
flourishing back the knot of men who
presently drew about him.
A sailor sprang away and in few
seconds the flag was mounting aloft.
While this was doing saw Mr.. lynn de-
scend from the mizzen rigging, his
telescope strapped on his back, and
guessed from his easy mien that he,
too, was satisfied with the looks of the
stranger.
After a little Capt. Sellinger shut up
his glass and descended to the deck,
and upon espying me called me to him
and ordered me to put the Industry in
a posture for defense. "Yon ship flies
the English flag" he said, "but she may
be an enemy for all that, and we will
not be caught mapping"
She drew gradually nearer, and soon
with the naked eye we could make out
the design upon her flag. 1t was St.
Georges Cross, as we had suspected,
and, moreover, we could now read Eng

peculiarities, discernible at least to a
sailors eye. She was handsome
craft, not too narrow in the beam, yet
shapely, and with a perfect cloud OF
white, well-ftted canvas on her tall
spars.
When we were less than half a mile
apart the stranger began to luff, edg'
ing along only with a small way, and
so crept within quarter Of n mile

Complete Arrangements Made for Ae.
eommodation, at Moderate Terms, of
all who Way Attend

Charleston, s. c., April 19.-The COM
mittee on information has prepared an
official statement as 10 the accommo-
dation that can be furnished during
the Confederate reunion, which takes
place in Charleston, May 9th, 10th, 11th.
18th and 18th. The statement shows
that the committee is prepared TO fur
nish board and lodging TO 10000 visi
.ors at very reasonable rates. The ac
commodations are much betten than
those usually offered on such crowded
occasions by any city, because Char
lestonians, realizing the need Of sus-
tanning a long enjoyed reputation for
hospitality, have thrown open their
homes for the entertainment OF the WIS.,
itors. The prices that Will be charged
during the reunion are very reason
able and any attempt at extortion will
be given publicity enough TO make il
Intellectual. The prices arranged for by
the committee are as follows: Lodg
ing and three meals 81 10 $3.50 per
day; lodging, breakfast and supper,
81 to $3.50 day; lodging and breakfast,
75 cents to 81 a day; lodgings in par
ties Of from four to fifty in room or
hall so cents to 81. Dormitories for
men have been opened at convenient
points about the city, where sleeping
quarters can be secured at so cents a
night. At some of them breakfast will
be served at the cost of so cents. For
the accommodation of ladies only, all
the public school buildings with every
convenience will be converted in COM
Portable dormitories. They will be in
charge of committee from the ladies'
auxiliary association day and night.
The charge for quarters will be so
cents per night. Breakfast will also
be furnished for so cents and light
lunches can be had from 10 cents to 25
cents at all hours Of the day.
All who intend visiting the city dur
ing the reunion should apply by mail
or in person to Chairman r. P. Evans,
of the committee on information, and
thus secure comfortable places at the
scheduled prices.
The committee on restaurants, in ad-
dition to the large hotels and boarding
houses, prepared for furnishing $4,000
meals a day at an average cost of 35
cents a meal. These temporary restau-
rants will furnish good meals and will
be located at convenient points about
the city. There will be no lack of ac-
communications and at reasonable
prices. In addition to the accommoda-
tions which will be provided by the
committee on information at the rates
named the confederate executive COM
mittee will provide absolutely free
quarters and food for 1000 old confed-
crate soldiers

while the democrats cast their vote for
George A. jerks, who has been their
candidate since the deadlock began.
The senatorial contest began on Janu-
ary 18th. On that day Senator Quay
received his highest vote, 112 senators.

lots for him. This was thirteen less:
than the number necessary to a choice.
and he never came nearer an election
during the more than three months

test has probably ever before been
waged in this country. The fight has,
been distinctly on Quay and anti Quay
lines, and both sides had numerous
representatives here at all times keep

on each other. Both sides promise that
the contest for supremacy will be
