Culbert's Pirates Lay
Plans to Attack.

In May. 1857. the creek was the head
quarters of the most dangerous and daring
band of pirates that ever infested the Mis-
sissippi. An EnglishInan. named James
gilbert. was the leader: his first lieutenant
was Joseph Magilbray. who called himself
a welshman. The party itself was COM
posed of as precious a lot Of renegade
Frenchmen. Spaniards. Americans. Indians
and negroes as ever remained unhung.
Every man Of them was a daredevil. who
hesitated not at any kind of plumber or
murder SO long as there was the promise
of 10 livres in the job.
As Beausoleirs barge neared the mouth of
Cottonwood Creek one of Culbert's men saw
1t. Preparations were male for an attJck,
but a strong breeze sent tn. neavy boat
swiftly north. and it was soon hid behind
Grand Tower.
gilbert swore impotently for an teUr;
then he and his band began a desperate
march up the river-swinming creeks, Nad-
ing through marshes. clambering over fall
en- logs-bent upon heading off the barge.

A Thousand-Mile Trip
Rowing Against the Current.

The trip for a thousand miles was prosaio.
Now and then a favorable wind would fill
out the big, square-cut sail and send the
heavy barge blowing stolidly against the
swift-iowing current; but for the most part
it was a steady battle of oars and ropes
against the current and the wind.
But there were intervals of rough feast
ing and rougher song. With the fall of dark
ness each day the barge was dragged toward
the shore and tied up: for 1t was a tortuous
and unmarked path that was being followed.

Passing the Ohio and Beginning
the Last of the Journey.

1t was well into May when the barge had
passed the Ohio and begun the last stage OF
the long trip. All the chill was out of the
night air, and the sun beat down hot and
straight during the long days. The water
Slistened in moonlight and dazzled in sun
light. The closely wooded shores were dark

frogs beloved a chorus which was taken up
by beast and bird and orchestrated by
droninS Insects. At long. long intervals
there came the sharp report of a rifle; now
and then a red face would peer curlously
from between the trees on either bank.
And all through the day there was the
rattle Of oarlocka, the curses of men tug
ging at ropes, and, when the wind was fair,
the clanking of yardarm and mast. At
night there was the halt. and then louder
songs and more thrilling stories and deeper
curses and longer drafts of wine.
One hundred and thirty-five miles below
st. Louis, on the Missouri side of the river.
there was a break in the solid wooded
border of the shore. Here a sluggish creek,
that began its course some twenty miles to
the southwest and wound its slow way be-
tween low banks that We're broken in many
places by other sluggish streams, poured
its feeble strength into the Mississippi. One
hundred and fourteen years ago this creek
had no name: twenty years later it was
called Cottonwood Creek. Its mouth was 4
few miles below Grand Tower. and ten
miles above it was a wooded island that
was half a sandbar. This island. likewise,
had no name in 1Is7; a few years later 1t
was called Beausoliel's Island. Now it IS
washed away or has become Il part OF
the mainland, one cannot learn which.

ers of those various bands of pirates who
infested the Mississippi River in the latter
years of the Eighteenth Century.
That was before civilization had done
more than send her advance guards into this
region: but not until after that advance
guard had established a rich trade between
its stations. For what is there that pirates
may prey upon if there be no commerce?

There was almost 4 chain of pirates ex-

to a few miles above Cairo in the early
eighties of the Eighteenth Century. Their

The Start of the Barge
OF Nj. Beausoliel.

1t was three years after the great flood
aimee des Srands eaux," the Frenchmen
of Louisiana called which occurred in
June. 1884. In the spring of l,S7 NJ. Francis
Beausoliel started from New Orleans with
a richly laden barge. expecting TO sell his
cargo to the citizens Of st. Louis and reap
a great harvest OF livres.
His barge was fitted out as luXuriously as
possible. and the crew that manned 1t COM
prised a score of men. There were oar
locks and huge oars for rowing: there were
windlasses for the ropes which. fastened to
trees along the shore. might give help when
the current was too strong for the oarsmen
to overcome: and there was one big white
sail, square-cut. which might be used when
the wind was in the right direction.
The departure of the barge late in March.
1857, was an important event In the local
history of New Orleans; for 1t was a large
barge and the most richly freighted one that
had ever started up the big river. NJ. Beau
soliel had all his fortune in the venture:
His cash had gone to purchase the boat:
his lands had bought the goods; q dozen
slaves had bought the provisions.
1t was a momentous enterprise for NJ.
Beausoliel and an historic one for New
orleans. So it was no wonder that M. Beau
\cliel was anxious; and no wonder that when
the barge began its trip. with the first
glimpse Of daylight one March morning, the
low river front of New Orleans was lined
with villagers, who waved their hands and
hats and kerchiefs and shouted bon Voy-
