board go English emigrauts, had been

% happened that an American man

listed man put into that port for some
slight repairs and twelve Of Us desert
ed TO 90 aboard Of the Dolphin. 1t
does not excuse our action to say that
the captain brought this desegtion
about BY the promise Of high wages.
He wanted crew and did not care
how the men came to him.
We had been twelve days out when
we sighted The Foam as she lay wal
lowing in the trough Of the sea, a com
plete wreck aIoft. After q brief look
at her through the glass the captain
began cursing his i'll luck. AS a mat
ter Of fact, we had neither room, water
nor provisions to spare. and the ship
was loaded down to the mari, with
cargo, but when we heard our officers
propose 10 Dass the wreck without ne
tice every man Of the twelve was
ready for mutiny We demanded that
communication De opened with the UNI
fortunate people, and after a good deal
of growing the Dolphin ran down to
the wreck and sent boat to her
The report Of the mate when he re-
turned was to the effect that the peo-
pie were On quarter allowance, with
much sickness among the women and
children, and that they desired to aban-
don the wreck ana be taken aboard OF
the ship We had spare spars aboard,
and the captain offered 10 sell three or
four sticks for about three times their
value, the payment to be made in gold
on delivery The brig declined this
generous offer. as the crew was sat-
islied that the shattered hulk could
never be worked into port even II
fully provisioned besides.
Our captain was holding of, not
wishing To take the uufortanates and
yet afraid Of us. when a squall came
on, ana lie attempted 70 SAID away
The whole crew, including the second
mate, at once refused duty The cap

authority at end and went below but
we were not to be bu1ed The second
mate was installed as captain, and two
hours later all the people on the wreck
had been transferred II was IN good

imagine the mess we were n when
that crowd was taken aboard The
captain not only nafiy refused to take
charge of the navigation. but would
have nothing whatever 70 DO with the
unfortunates He could have sheltered
many women aud children in the cabin
but not even the sick ones were invited
to make use of IL Everybody aboard
had to be put on short allowance at
once, and shift was made whereby
the women and children were af least
sheltered
After d general consultation if was
decided to make for the Bermudas and
on the fourth day after taking the noo-
pie off the wreck we sighted an Anar
lean ship and secured from Der a fair
supply Of water and quantity Of -four
and biscuits II was a run Of seven
days more to the islands, and during
the last three days no adult had food
enough to keep down the pangs Of hun
ger. None Of MS believed that we could
be punished for taking the ship out Of

meddled with but for the presence Of a

from an American who was pretty

that we might expect at least five
years Imprisonment apiece.
This news decided us to make an at
tempt to break jail. and one night a
week later, using tools which a guard
had been bribed to pass in TO Us, we
sawed away the bars Of a window and
gained onr liberty Proceeding 70 the
harbor. we found an American vessel
ready to SAIL. and before our escape
