Is full of exniUog interest and adventuie as the cel

A LEAP FOB LIFE. "
BY WM. BURTON.
After my discharge from the hospital
at Havana, I shipped in the American
barque Independence, Captain Robert T1
L , bound to Yaljaraiso, and thence''
round the Horn to the Western coast qf
North America. She was a large vessel,
Of some seven hundred tons register, with
a handsome poop, top-gallant forecast!a,
and all other points of a flash ship. The
captain was a native of Jersey and the
crew were a mixture of Americans, Brit
ish and Spaniards, with a sprinkling of
woolly heads or snow-balls, as we calk<1
the .negroes. ^ .
We had not been a week out ere very
great dissatisfaction prevailed among tin
crew, for the captaiu, with unaccounta-.
ble perversity, did not allot? us half'2
enough junk (i. e., salted beef,) to oui j1
meals ; and even what we did get wa*i i
tvhat sailors call "old horse,'* viz:?
hard,, tough, lean, stringy stuff, devoid
Df nourishment. The usual allowance <}f
iunk on ship-board, is one pound and n
half for each man per diem ; but I aiti
sure I did not get more than half' that
quantity. The captain used to come on
deck every morning, and stand by tlie
steward as he weighed out the junk from
the *t harness cask," to see that we did
lid not get an ounce over what he had
ordered. On the other band this captain
allowed us twice as much grog as is
usual. But sailors, although very foiud
)f rum, can't live upon it; and thrce
juarters of a pound of " old horse,anil
x few rotten biscuits, quite alive witii
sveevils, was a poor day's allowance fdr
i hearty fello^.
Our first mate often remonstrated witli
the captain on his conduct, and plainly
told him thsfc the men would not submit
to' it; but the only reply the captain made
was, to tell him to mind, what he was
about, or he would "break him and ha ye
trim up/' meaning that he would send the
mate forward as a common sailor, and
work him to death. At length after a
Long and fierce discussion in th^forcastle,
we all went aft one morning in a body,
and complained through the carpenter, as
spokesman, that we had not enough to
eat. 4 Captain L listened without in
terruption, and then coolly turned round
and said?
W
"Steward, go down in the cabin and
ing my pistols." #< _ .
We looked at one another in ?ilence.
T ? ? *
In a couple of minutes the steward re
turned with the pistols, and, with a face
pale as death, handed them to the captain.
The latter coolly placed them both on tall
cock, and laying them side by side on the
top of the binnacle, crossed his arms atid
glared round at every soul" of us ere he
spoke. ???...
">Now, men," cried he, at, length, be
tween his teeth, "all I've got to say is,
that you are -mistaken if you think, you
are going to get the upper hand of one.
I am your captain, and law gives me
power to do what I like. You did'nt ship
to bully me. Go for'ard to your duty,
and the first man that hesitates, or gives
me any ^aw, I'll shoot him as I would a
^ tumbled Id the forecastle in a body,
and for hours after the captain walked the
deck big with his achievement. <? J
We had light, baffling winds for many
days, and the temper of the captain grew
perfectly savage. By and by came a
calm, and he was a complete madman.
He stormed and swore from morning to
night,' and "hazed" us all, from thecabin
boy up to the mate. Our allowaace was
worse than ever, and he stopped _p?r grog
altogether, and put us on half .gjlowaqce
of water, under pretence that he feared to
run short if the ca)m lasted/. But when
a breeze sprung up at ihp expiration of
four days, our allowance remained the
same?half meat, half water, no grqg!
The sailors grew Half desperate, and
curses both loud and deep were bandied
from mouth to mouth, and indidtiact
menades mattered. ? aaodl?0 I
By arid by it became whispwed in the
ship that the captain had a oaup tie sokil,
or sub stroke, before leaving Havana, and
that be had drank freely of brandy ever
since, and waS/dwisequently really jipsane
to a certain extent. This would explain
hi* owlqct, and we were all inclined to*
accept it as, a ptoper .solution ; but the
proof of insanity t . ,
though highly truel iuid tyrannical, was7]
was within -the"bounds <jfihat fearful j

Such we?e the exact words, for I dis

best helmsmen in the ship, took hold of
the spokes again, the blood trickling:

" I was steering o a hair's breadth."
.Jf Whet'a that you say ?"
" I say I was steering as well as any
man could, and you're a tyrant, cap

The captain's face grew black with
passion, and the light roam flew from his
lips as he screamed?
" Mr. Jackson, clap thfe fellow io
irons! No, seize him tip?make a spread
?agit of him ! 1*11 teach htm t? toe the
mark!" ""
The mate, Jackson, hi vafa Yttemptel
to soothe the madman, who compelled
lis officers to "siese up." the unfortunate
jailor?that is, to lash his wrists to the
thrpuds, with hip back bare for punish*
lient. This is called making a 'spread
ia^le." . I dare not dilate on the sick.
:ning scene that ensued. Suffice it that
he captain with his own hand flogged
he man most brutally in presence of all
lands, and not a soul of us dared to speak.
That night we all signed a "round
ybin," that is, a paper stating a griev
ance, or petition, with the names of the
nen written in a circle, so as not one
an be pitched upon as the ringleader?
ddressed to the ehief mate, stating that
re all felt that our lives were not safe in
he hands of the captain, as he was ob
viously insane, and requesting the mate
o take command of the ship, and place
he captain in confinement. We sent this
o Mr. Jackson by one of the boys, and
a a quarter of an hour the mate came
;>r ward.
"Men," said he, "do you know what
ou are about? You are in open mutiny,
nd you know what the penalty lor that
3. Capt&iu L is captain, and his
rill is law. We must all submit to it.
Vere I to do my duty strictly, I should
how this," pointing to the round robin,
to the captain: but I don't want to
jake matters worse. Let us get to port,
nd then Complain as you please. But
>r your o*n sakes?and for my sake,
lon't mutiny."
We alt respected the mate, and his
rords made a great impression. We con
ulted together, and the prudence of the
majority overcame the tierce impulse of
he bolder spirits. It was, however, tar
itly understood, that,*if matters grew
auch worse, we would risk the dreadful
icnalty of mutiny, by seizing the captain.
>r we now considered he was undoubt
dlj insane, although the mate acted
ightlv enough in holding aloof at present,
s the captain had not yet evinccd himself
acapaWe of managing the ship. t
Whether any whisper had leaked out
if?he Cabin, through the steward or otfl
ers, I cannot tell, bat the captain uu
loubtedly suspected what had passed.?
it noon the next' day he came on deck
rith a double-barrelled gun in his bauds,
,nd deliberately loaded it with ball in our
ircsence. When he had done this, he
ailed all hands aft, and in language that
ufficiently indicated, from ib> wild inco
lerency, that he was undoubtedly insane.
ie addressed the crew, winding up with
he words?
4< You think to get the upper hand of
ne, do you? You will mutiny?you'll
ake the ship away from me ? Ill make
m example?I'll show you whom you
lave to deal with.. Mr. Jackson, let
hose two ipen be seized up this minute,
or I'll make spread eagles of 'em as sure
is I live." , . ' ]
As be spoke the captain pointed to
wo of the nearest men?one an American
md the other an Englishman. These
>oor fellows looked round at their mess*
nates, and seeing bow undecided they all
vere, they suddenly turned and sprang
nto the rigging, running aloft lor safety.
The captain's qye$_glared like a wild
>east's, and seizing his gun he shouted?
" Lay down this moment, both of ye,
>r 111 shoot ye !"
They saw the threatening movement,
md heard the command ; out this only
aused them to run up the rigging stiU
