lowed. At l1:30 the concert was over 3
and we were then given refreshments, c
which consisted of glass of grog, | I
(whiskey,) ham sandwiches and fancy
cakes, which we soon "killed." The |
skipper then made us fine speech
ending by asking us to join him and
the officers in their national air, ''God
save the Queen" Some were singing
ssGod save the Queen" while the rest
of us Mack and included were sing
ing "My country, it's of..Thee, " which

Saturday April 13. Cloudy and
temperate with strong wind from ,the
east, The sea is rough and choppy,
Four horses died today. Saw few |
sea-gulls, which are following the
/ ship. We must be about 200 miles
from Ascension Island. A very de-
termined mutiny is brewing on board,
on account of the poor food. We sent
spokesman to the captain and IN
formed him that not an animal would
be fed until we got better food. The
captain, thinking that the horses can
do without food longer than we. tells
our spokesman sthat unless we feed
our horses he will see to it that not
bite to eat will we get until we do.
We tell him to crack his whip. Being
near British waters he must be expect
ing to meet an English man-o'-war and
: get aid from them to put down the mu-
: tiny. At2p. m. mutiny is ON IN fuli
! force, and not a man among us dare 10
! feed an animal We caught the Span
iard;tryin g to feed his string, but
? couple of voleys of Irish potatoes
? thrown at his head made him beat
= hasty retreat and did not attempt to
: feed them again. Five horses die by
q 4 D. m. At $50 the captain gave way
Z and issued orders to the chef steward

other toothsome dishes that we ala
