I wern't in her at the time, but a chap of the name of Jack Adams, as I was shipmates with aiterwards, into the bark 7a rolinta. Captain Carr, be spun me tbe yarn, and be were into her, and sho were bound from San Francisco to Calcutta in the jeer 1851, Sbe had sixteen men afore the mast, and tbey was to bare $300 apiece 'by the run,' and no advance. This here Jack Adams, wbat told me tbis, was a bard chap, and tbere were two or three more like him, and tbey pnt the devil into tbe rest. If the of ficers had a turned to and pitched in and whaled Jack und ono or two others, which they might easy bare done, tbey would bare bad do trouble with the rest, but I suppose Jack and tbe other bad ones kind of felt of the mate on the first day and found him a little soft, and so that encouraged them to go on. Yon see, sir, I as a sailor nun purhaps, don't ongbt for to say anytbiu' agin 'em as a class, but tbe truth is tbe truth, no matter who speaks it, and a sailor man has got for to be governed, else bell go wrong. You see, sir, tbey git used to it Irom their boyhood up, and they can't git along without it, and officers of ships has got to be saddled and bridled, or else booted and spurred. Tbey has either got to ride, or else play tbe jackass and be ridden. Almost all mu tinies aboard of ships comes on by degrees and is tbe fault of the officers bein' too easy and not cbeckin' it at tbe first when it could be checked, and it goes on till the men gits the upper hand, and then there's the 'devil to pay and no pitch hot.' Nobody ever heard of no mutiny with ' Bully' Waterman, or Beersley or McCerren, or sich men as these. Of sailors bein' ponnded you did bear and frequent, but never no mutiny. Sailors generally begins on the first day out, that is, tbe bad ooes tbere ain't generally more than one or two in a ship's company and they spiles the rest, and one of tbem maybe will como up onto the forecastle when they are gittin' under weigh, with his pipe in his mouth. Well, if the mate jist fetches him a wipe and knocks the pipe half-way down his throat, that ginerelly settles tho matter, and this here man don't cut np rusty any more ; but if tbis is passed over tbere will surely bo trouble aboard of that ship afore the v'yage is out. This here chap will likely feel of the old man next. Probably be ll go aft on the weather side to relieve tbe wheel. If the old man fetches him one alongside of tbe bend and knocks him into the lee scuppers, perlitely inquirin' if ho don't knows as there's two sides to that ship, it's likely that'll put an end to trouble, but if the old man takes this, he'll bave for to tako more afore long. " Well, sir, aboard of this here Russel Glover there were this Jack Adams and two or three more hard characters as hod been to the mines, and then had knocked about along shore In San Francisco for a year or more, and had got worse by that experience than they bad ever been, and they begin right away with the mate, a singin' at him and in various ways a feelin' of him for to see bow far they could go, and as be seemed for to take it easy they tells him next day when he goes for to tarn 'em to that tbey was shipped by ' the ran ' and that they wasn't a goin'for to do anytbin' but work ship, steer ship, pump ship and heave tbe lead if required ; bat as for puttin on cbafin gear, or doiu' any general work, that they wasn't a goin'for to do. Well, here were tbe chance ; if the mate had a pitched in to them it's likely tbey would have only bad to whale one or two and tbey would hare giv'n in. But instead of that ho goes nft and reports to the old man, and tbe old man ho comes oat and calls all hands aft, and he tells 'em if they don't go to work he won't pay 'em their money when they gits across, and then Bomo of tho sea lawyers they tells him they'd tako tbe risk of that, that they'd only do what they Bhipped to do by the ' ran,' and he'd bave to pay'em. Well, sir, he lets 'cm go for'ard, and all that day and the next they done nothin', and of course the devil got fall possession of em'. " Well, tbey talks over the matter by them selves, and some of 'em they begins to git skeary about their $300 when the Bhip got in, and so they come to the conclusion as how they'd have their money then and there, and so they goes aft in a body and tells tbe old man 03 how they wanted their wages, and if be didn't giv' it to 'em not another stroke of work would they do of any kind, neither to Bteer, Dor pump, nor shorten sail, nor nothin,' and tbey insinuates that if he don't give it to 'em peaceable they'll jist take it. Well the old man by tbis time was jist frightened of em. He bad the money aboard of the ship, and some more for expenses in Calcutta, and be was afeard they'd take the whole and maybe kill him as well, so he tells 'em that he ain't got money enough for to pay 'em the whole, but be will givo 'em half and a dne bill for the other half ; so they finally agrees to that and he jist gives 'em $150 apiece and a due bill for S150, payable when the ship gets to Calcutta. Alter this things went on for a week, tbe men bavin' pretty much charge of the ship, sassin' tbe officers nnd doin' jist what they liked. Well, the ship bad laid in San Fran cisco about six months, and then goin' down into hot weather tho riggin' got all stretched oat, and needed settin' up, nnd the mate he goes for'ard and tries for to git the men for to turn to and set np the riggin' and they tells him they'll see him first, nnd bein' pretty lippy, at lost he gits mad and be does wbat be'd ought to have done long afore, he shows fight. But yon see, sir, he were too late ; and he bad allowed tbe crew to git the upper hand, and when once they do they can generally keep it. Then tbis here mate ought for to bave been prepared for the fight and had his second mate ready to jump in, and mayhap the cook aDd steward, and tbe old man handy with his sbooting-irons. Instead of tbis, be went in alone, and, of course, the crew piled onto him and beat him badly. Well, then, tbe old man comes a ruonin' for'ard on top of tbe house with his re volver, and he fires the whole six shots over tbe beads of tbe crew ; be said arterwards he done it a purpose to frighten 'em and be were afeard he might bit the mate if be fired into tbe crowd, and so be fired over their beads, and when they seen bis pistol were empty a conple of 'em jumped np onto tbe house and captured him. And now they had full charge of the ship, and a chap by the name of Bill Johnson, one of tbe worst of tbe lot, be took charge and allowed that be were cap tain, and be made Jack Adams, him as spun me the yarn, chief mate, and a little Welch chap, named Jones second mate. "They didn't hurt the old man, but they put bim and the mate and second mate into tbe fore castle and put a guard over 'em, and then all bands went aft and took possession of that end of the ship.' "The ship were a rnnnin' across the Pacific afore tbe north-east Uade wind, and there were little sail trimmin' required. The carpenter tbey left loose with tbe undcretandin' that if he didn't do jist what tbey wanted bim to, they would heave bim overboard. The cook and tbe steward was frightened half out of their wits, and jist obeyed orders. Very luckily there weren't much grog aboard, for if there had been there is no knowin' what these chaps might bave done, bat tbey weren't only about a gallon and that were gone in no time, and were hardly enough to make tbe crowd boozy. While tbey bad the ram in 'em, however, they tormented the old man above a bit. He were a bald-headed old chap, and they mixed some slush with the soot out of the cook's funnel, and rubbed his bead with that, tellin' him it would make his hair grow and there was many other indignities they put upon him, some of 'em like Pat's dream, ' too bud to be told." The other officers also come in for their share or abuse, and the mate were badly hart with the poundin' tbey bad giv bim. " We ain't made up our minds yet, says this Johnson to the old man, arter he'd had charge about a day. 'We ain't made upour minds wheth er wo'll make you walk tho plunk or bang you at tbe yard-arm; but one thing or the other you'll bave to do.' And that was b'19 idea from tbe first, to put tbe old man and mates out of the way, and then go off to some of the islands where there weren't nothin' bat natives, and spend the rest of their lives there, destroy-in' the ship. If there had been rum enough on board this might have been done, but what tbere was soon died out of 'em, and then some of 'em begin for to think that matiny were bad enough without addin' mur der to it. This here Johnson were already a be ginnin' to draw a pretty taut rein over 'em, and lad turned 'em all out of tbe cabin, assertin' that that part of the ship were for bim and his mates, und tbey thought as how he had found more money and appropriated it to himself. He hadn't however, for tbe old man had sewed it into the middle of bis mattress, and tbey never thought to look tbere. "Things went on tbis way for about a week the new skipper growin' more doinioeerin' every day and not hesitnliu' to use bis fists i eith when anybody didn't go exactly to suit bim, and finally he and his mate fell out, and bad a regular rough-and-tumble fight, in which Jack Adams him as spun me this yarn, got the worst of it That settled this Johnson's hash at once. Jack said as how be'd been a thinking for some lime of some way of getting out of the scrape they was in, and so the night arter he had tbi row he goes for'ard and tells tbe old man that if bo will lake a solemn oath on the Holy Bible not to prosecute tho crew for what tbey had done they'll put him back agin in command and will obey bis orders to tbe end of the voyage lirtl L . . m . ... iven, no were giau enougn ior lo uo this you may be sure, and so Jack then spoke to the rest of the men and they was glad enough for to agree to this, end they goes uft and overpowers this here Johnson as he was a sleepia' and they puts him in irons and gives the old skipper full charge agin. From this time out, Jock said things went along well enough. Of coarse the crew did nothing, except jist what was necessary but they was civil, and there weren't no further trouble. Arter the pilot come on board in the Hoogly, tbe skipper let this Johnson out of irons on bis promisin" to behave, and the crew left tbe ship when she got to Calcutta, and went ashore jist as if nothin' bad happened. The old man didn't care to have it knowed that be bad been a prisoner in his own forecestle and had bis head anointed with slush and soot, and tho men didn't care for to peach, for fear of a prosecution for mutiny. When tbey presented their due bills to tho consignee, payment was refused. Jack says they went to a lawyer, and he, urter hearing their story, advised them for to say nothing about it and to thank Uod that they got off as well as they did. They took his advice, and nobody in Calcnttn ever knowed anything about it ; and it were not till years afterwords that Jack Adams told it to mo. Sea. A DivrrV Adventures. of the Submarine Experiences of Paul Boyton. A correspondent who has interviewed Captain Boynton sends a report of tbe Captain's state ments to The Gentleman's Magazine : Soon afterward I worked down Into the Gulf of Mexico. The first coral I raised was at Ca toche. Knocking round about tbere, I heard of tho loss of the Bchooner Foam. The first mate and three men got saved, but tbe captain, his daughter and three men got lost. I slang round to seo if sbe could be raised. After we'd spent tbe best part of a week, wo sailed over and drop' pea nncnor. it was a lovely Sunday morning when we struck her. Sbe lay in sixty feet of water, on a bottom as white as the moon. Looking down I could see her leaning over on one side upon the coral reef. When I got down to her I saw she'd torn a great gap in the reef when she ran against it. The mainmast was gone and bang by the fore. I clambered ; I saw whole shoals of fish playiug in and out of the hatches. First I went to look for the bodies, for I never like to work while there's any of them about. Finding tbe fo'castle empty, I went to the two little state cabins. It was 'rather dark, and I had to feel in the lower bnnks. There was nothing in tbe first, and in tbe other the door was locked. I pried it open and shot back tbe lock with my adze. It flew open, and out something fell right against me. I felt at once it was the woman's body. I was not exactly frightened, but it shook mo rather. I slung it from me, and went out into tbe light a bit until I got bold of myself. Then I turned back and brought her out poor thing, Bhe'd been very pretty, and as I carried her in my arms with her white face nestling against my shoulder, sbe seemed as if she was only sleeping I made ber fast to the line, as carefully as I could to Bend her ap, and tbe fish played about her as if they were sorry she was going. At last I gave the signal and she went slowly up, her hair float ing round her bead like a pillow of golden sea- weed. That was tbe only body I found there, and I managed after to raise considerable of the cargo. Only one of my expeditions was among tbe silver banks of tbe Antilles the loveliest place I ever saw, where tbe white coral grows into curi ous tree-like shape. As I stepped along the bot tom it seemed as if it was a frosted forest. Here and there trailed long fronds of green and crimson sea-weed. Silver-bellied fish flash about among tbe deep brown and purple sea ferns, which rose as high as my head. As far as I could see all around in the transparent waters were different colored leaves, and on tbe floor piles of shells so bright in color that it seemed as if I bad stum bled on a place where they kept a stock of broken rainbows. I could not work for a bit, and bad a quarter determination to sit down for a while and wait for tbe mermaid. I guess if those sea-girls live anywhere, tbey select tbis spot After walk ing tbe inside out of half an hour, I thought I bad better get to work and blast for treasure. A little bit on from where I sat were tbe remains of a treasure ship. It was a Britisher, I think, and corals bad formed all about ber, or rather about wbat was left of her. Tbe coral on tbe bottom and round her showed black spots. That meant a deposit of either iron or silver. I made fairly good hauls every time I went down, and sold one piece that I had to Mr. Barnum of New York. After I left tbere I had a carious adventure with a shark. I wu down on a nasty rock bot tom. A man never feels comfortable on them ; he can't tell what big creature may be biding un der the huge qurater-deck sea leaves which grow there. Tbe first part of the time I was visited by a porcupine fish, wbicb kept sticking its quills up and bobbing in front of my helmet. Soon after I saw a big shadow fall aoroes me. and look ing np there was an infernal shark playing about my tubing. It makes you feel chilly in the back when they're about. He came to me slick as I looked up. I made at him and be sheered off. For near an hoar be worked at it, till I could stand it no longer. If you can keep your bead level it's all right, and you are pretty safe if tbey are not on you sharp. Tbis ugly brute was twenty feet long I should think, for when I lay down all my length on the bottom be stretched a considerable way ahead of me, and I could see bim beyond my feet. Then I waited. They must torn over lo bile, and my lying down both ered bim. He swam over me three or four times, and then skulked off to a big thicket of seaweed to consider. I knew be'd come back when be'd settled his mind. It seemed a long time waiting for him. At lost he came viciously over me, but, like tbe timo before, too far from my arms. Tho next time I had my chance, and ripped bim with my knife as neatly as I could. A shark always remembers he's got business somewhere else when he's cut, so off tbis fellow goes. It is a curious thing, too, that all tbe sharks about will follow in tbe blood trail he leaves. I got on my bands and knees, and as be swam off I noticed four dark shadows slip after him. I saw no more that time. Tbey did not like my company. After a short period ol experience in pearl div ing, tbe next is tbe loss of nearly everything that ho possessed, including bis diving apparatus, in a conflagration. Captain Boyton, in a sort of despe ration, took service in tbe Mexican war, and led an exciting life till, growing tired of the semi-ba-barian mode of warfare, be deserted, crossing from MaUtmoros at midnight in an old tub of a boat, in which he expected every minute to go to the bottom. Arriving ut Brownsville, be " fixed himself into hard work " at a dry goods store. Then be wroto home, and hearing that his father was dead, grew restless agiiin, and " waded awny north," through Victoria. San Antonia, Iodia naolia, and by a schooner from Galveston, whence he proceeded via New Orleans, Savannah, Charleston and Wilmington to New York. There be stayed until be had filled bis pockets again, and having set himself up with a diving suit, he Bhipped for Havre. Van Winkle, with a. Vurlntlon. A Lively Incident of Travel In the South How Sam Caved and Abandoned Ills Home. A gentleman residing in tbis city had occasion a few days since to take a journey down the river and several miles back of it, using a saddle-horse. Darkness overtook him in a sparsely settled dis trict, and as the roads were in a bad condition and the evening looked threatening, he halted before a forlorn looking hut and asked if be could find lodgings. " I reckon ye monght," replied the long-haired, sorrowful-eyed squatter, after hesitating a mo ment. The Vicksburger found little to eat, nnd bis horse found still less. Tbe squatter and his wife were all alone, and they bad but a few words for the stranger, and scarcely spoke to each other. When tbe evening grew old, the traveler camped down on tbe floor on a blanket, and being very tired he fell asleep, while host nnd hostess were smoking their clay pipes at tbe other end of the room. He had slept about two hours, when the squatter shook him by the shoulder and said : "Stranger, I'm powerful Borry to disturb ye, but I want to ax a favor." " Yes yes what is it ?" inquired the Yicks bnrger, as he rubbed bis eyes and sat up. " Ye like to see fa'r ploy, don't ye, stranger?" " Yes, of course." " Wall, me'n tbe old woman can't agree ; some how, she's cross and tetchy, and I guess I'm a trifle ugly. Leastwise, we don't bog up worth old boots. Wo've fit and fit ; I'm ole, nnd she's chuck full o' grit, and it's about an even thing." " Well, I'm sorry," put in the Vicksburger, as tbe squatter hesitated. " We've been a-talkin' since ye cum, stranger, and we've made up to ask ye to hold the candle and to let us go in for an old ronser of a fight a reg'lar sockdologer which shall setttle our fuss. If I lick, she'll go ; if she liek's, I'll travel." " I'm sorry if there's any trouble, and hope you won't fight." ' We've got to do it, stranger," replied the woman. " 1 won t live with a man who kin lick me, and be s just as high-born. Sam's as good as the ran o' men, but he's lazy and sassy, and be wants to wear his hat on bis ear P She's right, stranger," said the squatter: " and tbis eabin can't hold both of ns any longer. It's to be a sqaar' fight no kicking or dabbing, and we won't go back on yer decision." Tbe Vicksburger protested, but the woman placed a lighted candle in his hand, and posted him in tbe door, and tbo man stepped oat on the ground. Sake, I'm going to wallop ye right smart in just four hoots and a holler I" said the squatter, as he pushed ap his sleeves. 'Sam, ye don't weigh 'nuff into three tons!" she replied in a grim voice, and tbo battle com menced. Tho Vicksburger mentally bet twenty to one on tbe man at tbe start, hut in two minutes he had reduced tbe odds to ten, and in two minutes more he was betting even. Tbe wife was like a wild cat ; springing, dodging, striking and claw ing, and pretty soon ber husband bad to stand on the defensive. " Look out for tbe Bengal tiger, Suke I" be warned as be clawed tbe air. " I can whip the boots off'n ye, Sam I" she re plied and the battle grew fiercer. One of tbe woman's sharp nails struck the hus band's eye, and blinded bim for an instant. As be threw np his arms sbe seized both her hands into his hair, yanked him down, and in another moment bad the "gouge " on him. "Sam, do ye cave?" she asked as tbey lay quiet. " That's the dead-wood, Sake, and I'm a licked man !" be mournfully answered. Sbe let bim ap, and be turned to the Vicsbar ger and inquired : " Stranger, was It a fa'r fought?" " I guess it was." " Then I travel V He entered the hut, put on his coat and bat, took up his rifle, and as he came out he reached his band to bis wife, and said : " Good by, Suke I We weed fa'r and sonar'. and here I go." Then turning to tbe traveler, be added : Much obleeged, stranger : ye held the candle plnmp fa'r, and ye didn't holler for either one ot ii And be walked down to tbe fence, learjed over. and was soon lost in sight.
