The Adventures
of a Supercargo
BY LOUIS BECKE.

You'll miss your afternoon tea to-
day Mrs. Ross" he said to her, as he
was getting over the side.
Shall [, indeed, Mr.. SupercargO? At
eight bells, if you care to look over this
way you viii see me drinking it as
usual. Perhaps some day, if you are
nice and civil, 1 viii ask you to come
on board and have tea with me; a
proper tea, not hOrrid stuff boiled in

"AI right When you signal tea

Scarcely a day passed that the two
vessels We're not close together, and it
was evident that the Cassie ReVel had
she been fully rugged, would have out
sailed the barque, smart as was the lat
ter. especially when on wind. The
brigantine had been built at Auckland,
New Zealand, and launched from a
yard famous for the fast, kauri-built

sells, of from 100 10 300 tons, it had
turned out.
Nine days after leaving Middleton
reef, and when the two vessels were
lying becalmed at midday, half way be
tween Lord HoWe's island and Sydney,
the smoke Of a steamer was seen to
the nOrthward, and in a few hours she
was in sight, steering a direct course
for the Cassie ReVel. which was about
three miles distant from the barque.
"Ah." said Grace to Tom and the
mate. that fellow scents salvage. Low

and I'll get away to Captain Ross.

AS the mate called the hands to low

plenty of time, I can at least scribble
a few lines to my people, and ask the
steamer captain to send or post the let

be very much alarmed about me-"
Again the old skipper was pleased at
Toms determination not to leave the
Meg Merrilees.
Right you are, Tom. Now write
your letter, and We'll he aboard of the
brigantine and hear what the steam

The distance between the barque and
the brigantine was soon covered, and
Ross and Grace decided not to accept
any offer of towage now that they were
so near Sydney, and the brigantine
sailed so we'll under her jury-rig.

CHAPTER xxxIx.


The night was calm and fine through
out, and at daylight the barque was
brought to an anchor, and Immediately
preparations made to rig a jury mast
for the Cassie ReveI, for there were
several spare sparts on the larger YES
sci. All that day work was continued
with undated VigOr under the super
vision of the two captains; the wealth
er was all that could be desired for the
task, and there was but very little
swell coming into the blight in which
the two vessels We're anchored. In ad-
dition to the jury-mast. there We're
other repairs to be effected, notably re-
placing the wheel (Which was hope
lessly smashed) by tiller; then came
the work of OVerhauling the stores,
and much else that was absolutely ne
cessary for the voyage OF 600 miles 10
Sydney.
On the afternoon OF the fourth day
the brigantine was ready, and Ross,
who was to sail her, went on board
with his native seamAn and lifted her
anchor, while Grace stood by with q
boats crew ready TO tow her clear of
the reef, for the wind was light, and
the currents very tricky. With the boat
towing and the jury-fOTesail filled the
brigantine sailed passed the baTque;
and the boat cast off, and the crew
gave Ross a cheer, which was re
sponded to by his swarthy seamen.
Then. as the smaller vessel went slowly
on ahead, the barque weighed anchor
and followed her under her fore and
main course only 50 as not to outsail
her crippled companion.
As night came on. the wind, to the
delight of everyone on both ships, came
away from the northeast, and settled
into a fine steady breeze, and at 10
o'clock, in answer to Graces signal of
inquiry. Ross replied five knots
Early in the morning Tom, who was
sleeping on deck as usual, was reused
by Jack Castles, who asked him If he
would care to board the brigantine,
which was only q quarter Of mile dis
tant and abreast of the barque-Ross
had signalled TO Grace to send him
some carpenters tools, and some plank
ing as he meant to employ his spare
time in building q new galley The
timber and tools were soon put into
one of the barque's quarter boats, and
in a few minutes Tom and Castles were
on board, and having coffee with Ross

ing been made by housing i'm one side

greatly pleased with the brigantine,
and said that he meant to give her
some more fore-and-aft canvas during
the day; she already had her mainsail
set.
"A humping big staysan will give
her nearly another two knots with the
wind abaft the beam as it is now
and as I think It means to stay for an
other week or so"
Tom remained with the American and
his wife for an hour, the boat with two
hands in her towing astern. Then he

CHAPTER XII

During the night the pleasant weather
that the two vessels had met with all
the way from Middleton Reef changed,
and by daylight both were running be-
fore a strong eaSterly breeze amidst
a cold, sleety rain. AS the day wore
on, the wind became lighter, but the
rain heavier, and the vessels lost sight
of each other, and Grace began TO feel
somewhat anxious about the prize,
as the brigantine was now called. At
midnight, however, the rain ceased, the
stars came out, and the barque hove to
until the morning, nothing could be
seen of her cOnsOrti but soon after
breakfast she was discovered hull down.
and by noon was within hailing distance
of the barque and then both ships kept
on their southwestern course, making
from three to four knots an hour; and
from this time forward close company
was kept.
On the evening Of the fourth day af-
ter the Phoebe had been spoken, the
outer light on Sydney South Head was
sighted, twenty miles distant, and the
vessels hOVe-tO again until daylight,
no one caring to turn-in, for everyone
on board both the barQue and the
prize" were too excited to sleep All
sail was made at dawn, and at break
time, when Sydney Heads were
within ten miles, the vessels were dis
cerned by two or three prOWling tugs.
and speedily taken in tow. Off WatsOn's
officer, who greeted Tom very warmly,
/ ly, for he knew his stOry, and had also
heard of his being on board the Meg
Merrilees'' from the collier skipper.
! There being no sickness on either yes
| sci, both were allowed to proceed, and
an hour later they were safely anchored
off Sirius Cove, not a mile from the
] Crows Nest.
But long before the barque's cable
ratified out through her hawse-pipes,
i ri
out the Sable -resplendent in all the
glory of a new coat of varnish inside
and out-and let her tow alongside.
The moment the barque swung to her
anchor Tom went aft.
Goodbye for the present, Captain
| Grace-I'm off on shore. See, there are
the chimneys of the Crows Nest over
there among the trees-and hullo! look,
some one has hoisted the ensign old

they know this is the Meg with the

back, and bring them over with you TO

to be there with them at o'clock, III
! talk to you. I'm no supercargo now
not until tomorrow morning.
The old man laughed, said he would
not fail, and asked Tom if he would like
Jack Castles to pull him ashore.
''Ah, indeed I should, but ] didn't
| like to ask you" Then he went to the
break of the poop, and called the half
caste.
"On with your shore-going duds, boat
swain. The captain says you can come
| on shore with me. Hurry up, man.
AYE, aye, sir" and Castles dived in
to the deck house.

DenisOn boarded her and were well
coined by the captain, who told them
that his steamer was the Phoebe,
Sydney collier, returning from Nou-
mea with cargo of chrome ore and
nickel; and then he offered to tow the
Cassie Revel to Sydney for &40O. He
knew all about her, and was aware
that she carried a valuable cargo.
Ross laughed. L guess not, captain.
We have padded along in a bully old
my chances of getting inside Sydney
heads within the next week or So"
well, I'll do it for G250,' said the
collier skipper. Come now, skipper,
give me a chance to do bit for my
self, and it's not worth your while run
ming the risk of losing your ship for
the sake of a bit of towing money
Now, look here, hang me if 1 don't pull
in for $500. Come, it's deal"
Both Grace and Rose laughed heartily
at his persistency, and assured him that
they really meant to work the Cassie
Revel' into Port Jackson under her
jury-rig. The worthy captains face
fell. and then he came down to one
hundred and fifty pounds, (which
means I'll practically take you in for
almost nothing" he pleaded.
I'VE wouldn't object to paying you
three hundred pounds to tow the YES
sci into port" said Grace, but the fact
is that we are in no hurry for few
days, ana QOn feel JuSIlleQ III spend
ing money unnecessarily. If l thought
that there was bad weather coming on,
it would be a different matter. But if
you are willing to take a letter for me
to Sydney and burn a few extra tons
of coal, I'll give you fifty pounds. Tom,
where is your letter."
What are you doing, Captain
Grace?" began Tom
Just hand me that letter and sit
quiet. This young man, captain" and
he turned to the master of the ''Phoe-
be-" lis Mr.. DenisOn, who was taken
away by the 'WarrigaL' -

the passengers of the Aztec City" had
reached Sydney safely, and that Miss

newspaper fellows" and had told them
the contents of Toms letters.
Old Grace presently drew him aside,
and gave him Toms letter to his aunt,

how much more satisfying the profess
