looking man of about forty-five years
of age. He showed a cutlass scar over
his nose, and it fixed the expression of
surly frown upon his face. He was
very broad, as powerfully built as
Pope, dressed in sailors worn clothes;
but as in Pope, so in this man, there
was wickedness in his looks.
Captain Pope closed his knife and
fork and watched the other for some
minutes in silence. Then he got up and
looked over into the box on either
hand, then sat little closer opposite
Crystal, and said, This is the adver-
tisement l was telling you about" He
read in a low voice as follows:
Brig Gypsy-This beautiful and
admirable clipper ship having been
condemned by the Admiralty, has been
purchased by private gentleman, who
has laid out a considerable sum of
money in completing her equipment.
She is now for sale, and may be had
at very great bargain. Parties dis
posed to purchase her will apply to
Mr.. Staunton in the Minories."
Its the strangest matter that ever
l heard Of" said Captain Pope, speak
ing with cautious face. "a man had
a father who left him a brig and a
trifle in cash. Jackman was his name
He got command, but it was plain the
sea didn't satisfy him. He came
ashore with bag of fifteen hundred
pounds, and pretended to have been
knocked down and robbed. There is
no doubt he stole the money. The
owners did not seem able to prove
anything, and the next traverse this
man Jackman set out to work was
the painting and equipping of his brig,
and the preparing her for sea as "a
what dyer say?"
81 heard it. Piracy" said Captain
Crystal.
HE got men under the pretense that
he was bound out on some liberal
undertaking-it was story Of treas
ure, fancy-and went away down
Channel His game was suspected and
he was followed out Of one of the
reaches by government cutter. They
exchanged shots, and tho pirate
man in the Channel brings his men
aft and tells them the truth. He Is
going for a pirate, he says. The men
heard him. In time they came abreast
of some caves which Jackman had
purchased down on the extreme west
coast, and ne and his father-in-law
and Mrs. Jackman went ashore. When
Jackman returned to his ship, the men
seized him, swearins thsy were not
going to be hanged for pirates, and
they locked this Jackman up in his
cabin, and carried the brig to the
Thames and handed her over. Jack
man sprang through the cabin window
and was drowned. He did well. He
was a ruined man and felon."
"The biggest fool" said Captain
Crystal, that ever took charge OF
men. Only think of shipping crew

them, before they were. out of sight

Pope and CRYSTAL

Pope and Crystal.
1t was one Tuesday in the city OF
London, in the early part of the last
| century, and the large dining-room of
the Mitre tavern was full Of hungry
men sitting in boxes and giving hoarse
notes to their wants. The beet.pot
foamed at their elbows as they ate
with will. They bore the true aspect
OF the children of the deep; you would
have known them when they hove in
sight a mile off by their clothes and
cut.
Jenhnson went about nodding to
this man and to that, calling deep
pitched answers in response to friend
ly greetings. He stopped at box at
whose table sat one figure only. This
was captain in the merchant service
named Pope, fine, tall man of very
noble build. He had merry eye with
something careless and cruel in it's
glance and light; an Irish eye blue and
arch. But to-day the face that over
hung his plate, chewing steadily, with
Jenkinson staring at him, was a long
one.
well, Captain" said Jenkinson,
have you got ship YETI"
Don't talk of it," cried Captain
Pope with passion. The pavements
are full of helpless idlers. They wander
starving and forlorn"
Jenkinson smiled sarcastically.
Don't tell me- he said. There are
always plenty Of ships, and where
there are ships there is demand ana
room for good men,
The other shrugged his shoulders
and bit his food with anger.
Just then a middle-sized man came
to the entrance of the box, and Jenkln-
son stood up.
How dye do, Captain Crystal?
What are your commands" Crystal
named his joint, and seated himself
opposite Captain Pope, and Jenkinson
went away.
This Crystal was a very rugged

said Captain Pope, pulling out the
paper and putting his hand upon the
advertisement. What's your price?'

We'll view her." said Pope, peck
citing the permit.
The two sailors went toward London
Bridge. A hoy was proceeding from
London Bridge down the river, and the
two captains boarded her for Deptford.
There they landed, and took oars, as
the expression then was, for a brig
with the topgallant mast housed, lying
in the stream within convenient pull.
"She appears in very good condition, -
said Pope, directing searching looks
about him, and letting his eyes rest
aloft. I'll give her royal stun sails and

Captain Pope pulled the bell of the
house. The door was opened after a
considerable passage of waiting-dur-
ing which Pope continued to curse the
sea as the most poverty-stricken of
callings-by dirty little servant who
seemed compound of fiue and black
lead. The Captain pushed in.
They refreshed themselves in a
dingy little bedroom, adjoining the par
lor. There was a handsome sea-chest
here, and a sparkling long telescope.
That's what it's come to- said
Pope, pointing to these things. 81,
