SERMON TO WHIP Boy
From the News OF the Week


STOPPED SERMON TO w HIP BOY
In the Methodist church in Frank,
fort, Ind, one Sunday night recently
the pastor. Rev. Horace q. Ogden
left his pulpit, walked down the
aisle, whipped boy who was dis.
turbing the congregation and then
returned to the pulpit and finished
his sermon. The cOngreg ,tiOn had
been annoyed by Harry slough and
three other boys named King, Roger
and Palmer, and the minister had
appealed to them to behave them
selves properly. They had been
dragging their feet over the flOJr and
laughing out loud. Ogden went to
where the boys We're sitting and
asked them to take seats further up
in the church. Slough became de-
fiant Ogden TOOK min by the col
lar and the boy fought back, striking
viciously at the minister. The latter
dragged the boy in spite of his blows
and struggles to the seat in front of
the pulpit, and there the fight be-
came tiercer.
The minister tried to force Slough
into seat, and the boy fought back.
Twice the minister threw him to
the floor. Both times he got up
fighting. The third time the minis
ter threw him the boys forehead
struck against the sharp edge of the
seat, causing the blood to flow. The
people in the audience were on their
feet during the fight, but the flow of
blood ended the struggle. The boy
gave up and took seat and Ogden
took out his own handkerchief and
bandaged the wound. Ogden re-
turned to the pulpit and delivered
his sermon,

YiCts Would only Trust us so rar. The
watches were SO divided by order Of
Moran that our men were separated,
and two of the convicts were kept I'M
der arms to act as sentries. Moran
and the second mate had quarters aft
with me, while all the others berthed
forward. sAll of us were under sur
veillance, and no two of us were ever
left alone together. While none of
them could take the wheel, they kept
constant watch on the compass.
The winds were light and variable,
and it was the sixth day after our cap
ture before we drew in with the coast
Moran's orders were to avoid Para by
entering the north mouth and when
we were fairly in the river he told me
their plans. | was to take them in the
brig up as far as the mouth of the
Xingu river, and they then would pull
I'D the stream in the yawl and make
for the diamond district. We were not
above thirty miles up the river when
we were obliged to come to anchor FOR
want Of breeze About the time we
anchored the demeanOr of the cOnvicts
seemed to change for the worse. 1t
appeared as if three or four of them
were anxious to pick a quarrel with
our men. That evening the second
mate found opportunity to say to me:
Depend upon it, Mr.. Lenox, they
never meant to stand by their bargain.
1 shouldn't be surprised if they were
planning to cut our throats and scuttle
the brig"
| strongly suspected them of some
evil intention, but nothing came of 1t
that night. Next morning we had
wind and tide in our favor, and at noon,
when we anchored again, we had made
twenty-five miles. Right away after
dinner the yawl was lowered and
Moran began to outfit her. Whatever
they thought could be made useful was
placed in the boat, and they were rum
maging about the whole afternoon. AT
nhout G O'Clock Moran ordered all or
the old crew of the brig into the cabin.
Every man of us at once realized that
the climax was at hand, and, acting In
concert we made sudden and furious
attack. We got possession of two OF
the muskets and were making a good
/ fight of It, though bound to be beaten In
the end, when a Brazilian gunboat
which was on her way up the river,
sheered alongside of us and had grap-
pled ON before some of us saw her.
Her presence put an end TO the fight, OF
course. We had two men wounded,
while we had killed one convict ana
wounded second.
Our captors were neatly trapped put
they no sooner realized IT than they
claimed TO be the real crew Of the YES
sci and denounced us as convicts. They
! were so earnest and emphatic in thelr
declarations that the commander OF tne
gunboat was almost convinced. de-
stroyed their case, however, when !
( asked them for the captains name our

ropes and sails, etc. They were ironed
and taken aboard the gunboat to be
conveyed to Cayenne, while the brig
was towed down to Para to be put

Captured
BY CoDvicts

Copyright, 1902, by H. l.. Harold.1
We had discharged our cargo at
Georgetown from the brig Albatross
and were ready to start on our return
voyage to Liverpool when the captain
was notified that ten French convicts
from the penal settlement of Cayenne
had escaped to sea in yawl.
Three days later and 100 miles to the
south our lookout sighted the craft and
her convict crew. In a quarter of an
hour the yawl lay off our port bow
within speaking distance.
Hello, captain! Our ship went down
off here pointing to the east) yesterday
afternoon. We have neither food nor
drink, and we ask you, in the name Of
humanity, to supply us"
Il have nothing to spare, and I warn
you to keep OFF, shouted the captain
In answer to the request.
We had seen no arms among them
and had supposed them to be without
weapons Of any sort. To our great sur
prise, five muskets, taken from the
guard when they escaped, were sud
denly lifted into view, while four oars
dropped into the water, and the yawl
made for our bows. There was fierce
yell from every convict, and those with
muskets opened fire. Captain Rothsay
was killed and the second mate wound
ed even before they had hooked on.
We scalded them with boiling water
ana fought them with whatever we
could lay hold of, but within five min
utes the brig was captured. We had a
foremost hand killed in the fight on
deck, and none of us escaped injury.
As an offset we killed two of the con-
Victs while they were trying to board.
As chief officer | was asked about
our cargo and destination, and on the
other hand the leader Informed me
that they were sorry to interrupt our
voyage, but intended to use the brig
TO make good their escape.
The first thing was to get rid Of the
dead bodies. They allowed us to sew
them in canvas before they went over
board, and then our wounded men
were made comfortable After the
burial the leader said to us:
we mean you no harm. We are des-
perate men and intend to make our es-
cape. After we have been landed In
some safe place you may sail away
With your brig. If you try to deceive
u.s. we will show you no mercy"
l was further informed that / must
act as captain and navigate the brig
and | was allowed to choose mate
from among my men. After that
council was held among the eight Of us
as to what place should be steered for

cabin, and after long debate it was
decided to run for the Amazon river.

BUGeEE CHANGED HIS NAME

When Miss Charlotte Viola Moore
and Edward Buggee were being
married in st. James's Episcopal
church at Winsted, Conn, one even
ing recently by Rev. s. Wolcott
Linsley, the bride looked in astonish
ment at the rector when he called
the bridegroom Edward Buggee. She
thought he had made mistake, rs
did the congregation, because the
bridegroom WAS known only to the
bride and her friends as John Nc
Carthy.
After the ceremony the husband
explained that he and his brother had
changed their names to Mccarthy
when they came to Winsted a few
years ago, because they did not like
to be called Buggee. Moreover, the
bridegroom thought it might spoil
his chances of winning bride, so he
did not acquaint his prospective wife
of the fact until after the knot was
tied,
