The fire was block away from the Great Repub-

ship All hands were turned out and stationed wi
buckets of water in the fore main and mizzen tops
But the forest caught then the tops and tgal-
lants'ls. The men couldn't get enough for
the heat to cut the sails clear and the foremen
wouldn't 80 aboard for fear o. falling blocks
"Well. sir, the captain decided to cut away the
masts and save the hull. The fore and fore-top-
mast stays cut and the mast went oversize
But the topmast broke in three pieces and came
doom like javen and pierced the decks The
main and mizzenmasts dropped, they near smash

But the firemen got to work and by morning the
fires were out, or so they thought. Then they
found smoke coming out of the hold The cargo

lovely ship in ten feet o water but that didn't
stop the fire which blazed for two days right down

to lie in the Thames as there
was no dock big enough to take
her. Later on she was used by
the French as a troopship and
carried 1000 British soldiers

Mad Frazier sat mumbling

Wed strike the top hamper, bend awin's over
the deck, rig boarding nets and bob wire and trade
til the holds were full. Months it took sometimes,
and sometimes it took Is or 20 men. Then we'd
up-anchor an go roarin' home along the coast,
over the Boneyard, that chilly stretch O water
where so many coasters are dropped oversize be-
tween Sierra Leone and the Islands, an catch the
nor east trades south of the Canaries. Good trade
it was, too and good pay, but cruel hard on the
system.
There were no factories ashore in those days,
the old man told me; they traded from their ships;
picked up interpreters and compradores off the
river mouth and kept them aboard until the holds
full. The Lady Raglan carried Ia cannon
and every hand was drilled in the use of musket,
boarding pike and cutlass.
One trip Mad Frazier carried couple hundred
flint-lock muskets and gunpowder on his own
spec; thought he might make deal with coast
chief. When the Lady arrived off Bonny 20
paddle canoe alongside and mighty big
native climbed aboard. Said his name was Two
Fathom. He sawed bit of English and said
he'd come to trade for the Lady up-river. He
told Mad Frazier he was mission boy, but as
he didn't savvy God-palaver he'd turned trader.
Mr.. Hatton, the supercargo, gave him some square
face and told him to send his canoe ahead to pre-
pare the trade. Mad Frazier watched that long,
black dugout, her paddles going like centipedes

That meant there natives moving about:
secret-ike, in the forest. Frazier looked at Two
Fathoms who grinning with face full of
teeth like grand piano.
What palaver this?" asked Frazier
mo palaver, Cap'n. Bush people make play,
thassall"
But Frazier didn't like it.
By the time they reached the narrows it was
dusk. The Lady was fitted with sweeps; they
went through the gun ports. The crew were set
to sweep the Lady through; Frazier didn't want
to be caught with no leeway.
Look" whispered the mate, pointing astern.
