OLD SAM'S STORY.
BY BUZ.
f CONCLUDED.!
I kept on towing, and m I neared h -r
I saw that there wa* a good many men
on her.all looking at me. I rowe*l|up to
her and made sign* to he takeu on
l»oard, I wan dreadfully excited aud
wa* glad to get on any ship, w» I
a prospect of getting home again and
finding my silver mine. The sal lorn let
down two ropes, which I fastened to the
how and stern of my boat and wan
soon hoisted aboard. After I bad been
fairly fixed on board the ship, I began
to look around, and uoticed that the
men looked a good deal like those
the ship that had brought me clown
here; hut these men were more sociable
and friendly, and tried to make out ray
history. Oue of the head men under
stood a little of my language and got
me to repeat slowly all about how I had
lieen taken away, ami appeared much
interested in ray case. Then he
tell it to his companions. They were
rough, hut treated me well and proposed
to employ me as a seamau, but I told
them that l knew nothing about a ship
aud had never been ou hoard of one un
til I was carried oft*. They said that I
would soon learn, so I thought it was
the best that I could do and was my
ouly chance of ever getting back home
again, by becoming a sailor I then
agreed to hire with them, but I was to
get nothing hut my board and clothes
for the first three mo the, on account ot
their learning me both their language
and the work about the ship. I learn«1
from them that they were Spaniards,
and that I was then ou the far South
American coast ; lliat they were on a
voyage to A frlca, but • id not say where
tli'*y were from. I notified that they
had stored below deck a large number
of large casks, ami ou inquiry found
they were all filled with fresh water.
I supposed they wore going on a very
long voyage by having so much water
aboard, hut i being'a green landsman
knew nothing of the r« qnireaaeuts of a
ship, and took all fjrgraiited. The ship
was veiy roomy ami did not appear to
have any cargo besides water and pro
visions. They exchanged my furs and
rags for a good strong sailor's suit and
under clothing and shoes ; they cut in
hair off, which had grown very long ;
it was long "before I was taken away
from this hill, hut it grew very rapid in
_ air and hung down over my
shoulders when loose, but I always
kept it tied up. My body was always
clean, for I always bathed every day on
the islaud, summer ami winter, aud
was in a perfect state of health, aud I
assure you that I was a different looking,
man wlieu brushed up with new clothes
and shoes, and hair cut and shaved.
The sailors were surprised and pleased
I then stood
in full flesh,
ou
would
that h**h
with my appearance, hh
full »lx feet high aud wt
and must have weighed over two huu*
unds. I entered upon my dutien,
_ hut wimple ouea at first, all
but the learning of the Spanish talk,
but I succeeded beyond my expecta
tions, and before we got to the coast of
Africa I understood mauy of the simp e
dred iki
which '
were
so
Africa I understood mauy of the simp e
orders giveu.
When we sailed from South America,
we sailed nearly due north lor twodays
and nights, then southeast for about the
same time and it was zigzag like a worm
fence for weeks until we reached the
coast of Africa, which we sailed along
for several days lust in sight of laud all
the time I nolle* d that every day
whilst we were sailing along the coas
a queer looking flag was hoisted to the
mast head. It had three black lines
across it and had a bright red cross at
the lower part, and ix black round
spots ill one end. I also notice* 1 that
whenever a sign of another ship was
that the queer Hag was lowered
and the Spanish Hag run up, but after
a few days we came opposite to what
appeared to he a village. The distance
prevented me from making out the size
of the place, but I could see wliat ap
peared to be many huts or shanties.
Finally a cannon was tired on deck,
aud soon after J saw a boat com iug from
shore direct for the ship, and when near
notice*l that it contained three natives
dressed in fancy costu
paddles; the sen
they paddled along side the ship and
the chief man was hoisteil aboard, and
was treated w ith great consideration by
our officers,aud feasted ami loaded down
with favors, aud after having remained
oil beard some two hours, he was let
down into bis bout and they paddle*!
towards shore, looking very .much
pleased with their visit to the ship. The
i ho paddled did not leave
their boatbut were feasted by the sailors,
who let. down to 'hem
and rum

down into their boat before they loft.
We were laying quietly at anchor,and
nothing to attract our attention until
the next day towards sunset, when my
attention was called to ihree long boats
being paddled toward onr ship,
near l found that each contained about
twenty naked natives,
in the bottom apparently dead,

>aid for the native
nippy with numerous presents of fancy
articles and rum.
We then set sail for the west, and
never stopped until we readied the
south side of Cuba, where the slaves
were landed, and I suppose sold to the
planters. We did not stay long here but
sailed far south down the Atlantic,
then east, and northeast to same place
that we took on the slaves before,hut be
fore we h-ft Cuba we laid in a full sup
ply of water and provisions, ami many
fancy articles aud rum. It took us
about, three months to make the trip
and dispose of the slaves.
Altogether, 1 was on this same ship
in the same business for ten years. 1
received good wages, spent but little
money, never drank any liquor except
for medicine, and had accumulated a
good large amount of Spanish »ilv>r,
which 1 kept in a strong box in my
berth, and was never robbed. We had
a gay and for the most of the time a
pleasant, life. All hands worked with
a will. It was a desperate Vusiness and
we became attached to each other, and
worked for each other's interest,
encountered storms sometimes

We
to
that
were fearful, and the Hea-shik negroes
were a dreadful and sickening sight,
but a inau can get used to anything.
But at last our time came. After we
bad left Cuba the last time a Dutch
man-of-war hailed us aud demanded
the Hight. of our papers,
parley the papers were shown to an
officer w ho visited our ship for that pur
pose, who examined them very closely
and returned them to our captain, and 1
supposed thev had passed all right, aud
we parted anu sailed ou our usual course
—first south, hut the Dutchman had
suspicious of us, as afterwards proved.
We had got to our usual place near the
coast of Africa, and were in the act of
After Home
Pa

I
j
hoisting our first boat load of natives
aboard, when the man on the ookout
yelled down: " A fall I! a sail V when
all our operations ceased, and we made
immediate preparations to more away,
when the lookout yelled down again :
" 'Ti* the same Dutch man-of-war that
hailed us off Cuba '' We then set sail
with all speed, thinking that we could
easily outsail the Dutchman, but we
were sadly mistaken. Wewnrked uard
to getaway from him but he gained
on us all the time, and we it
would be all up with us. We then
kept in to wards shore.
I think our captain's Idea was to
beach our ship and make for the shore
in our boats and trust to luck. The
Dutchman saw our move and he evi
dently drew less water than we, and
drove in nearer the shore than we did,
and before we could beach our ship he
fired a sol d shot into our stem below
the water line, and*we tilled and sank
rapidlv, before the boats could he
launched. Many of ua Jumped over
board soon after the shot struck our
vessel, and swam for shore, hut the
Dutchman's boats were soon out and
ricked many of us up, but some got to
and and some were drowned, and of
course the poor natives were all drown
ed in the hold of the ship, hat what
hurt me most at the time wan that all
my money, the savings of ten years,
was all lost in a moment.
Well, we were taken on the Dutch
man, and kept Ironed as prisoners and
taken to Amsterdam,and tried and con
victed,and I as a seaman got a sentence
of ten years penal servitude on an inland
in the South Sea. Our officers got
a heavier sentence. We were soon ship
ped for a Dutch penal colony, where I
worked for many a day in a chain gang
under the eyes of Dutch sentinel. I
served my time out. After the first
live years I was treated with more con
sideration, and was put over a gang of
convicts, as fojreman, hut still under the
guard of the soldier. My experience on
the Spanish ship had made me a
good sailor. I could speak Spanish like
a native—fbon I could talk my mother
tongue,ami I became a man of some Im
portance, ae soon as they found out that
I was not, a knave. Some few of the
Dutch otHcers understood Spanish, and
of them understood English, hut
none of them understood both languages
hut I did, and therefore was often used
interpreter in many cases of great
lnqtortance.
I one day told one of the Dutch olfl
my story, and he was very much
prised and said that he would inter
himself In my behalf. This was after
I had been a convict for eight years,
and 1 believe that he did intercede for
me, for when my time was up, in fact
long before that, I was never under
strict guard, aud when I was called u
to he discharged I was presented with
a neat outfit inflothea and money, and
the next ship that sailed I was sent
aboard with a free pass to a seaport in

I had again saved up a good pile of
money, which I thought ought to keep
me in a plain way for the balance of
my life. I lived in Liverpool for some
weeks after being paid off in full and
honorably discharged from the slitp.aud
began to get anxious to get hack to
America again and hunt up that silver,

There are three taverns and five dry
goods and grocery stores. Oilier indus
tries no mentioned here are busy and
doing very well. It is the busiest place
that 1 ever saw of its size, and 1 exneot
will become a great city some day.
(Compare this description of Christine
in 1858 with the village of 188.1, and
groan.)
Well, Sam, I stopped at the tavern on
the corner for a day and a night to rest
and make some inquiry about the
neighborhood. Nolxxiy of course know
me, and I kept myself aloof from the
people as much as possible, whilst, I
made my research#. I paid my bill at
the tavern and went for the woods. 1
did not have much luggage to take
along. I had laid in a few necessary
articles for a wood's life. While I was
in Philadelphia I had not forgotten my
life on the lonely island. So now I
have been searching these woods for
nearly two months, day and night, and
have never slept inside of a house
since I left the tavern at Christine to
come to the woods.
In the first, place I thought that J
could go direct to the little stoep hill
that overlooked the ravine in which the
worked on that eventful night,
1
of
men
but 1 have never been able to find that
hill. I believe that after I was taken
away a part of th« gang remained or
returned and dug that hill away and so
disguised the surrounding surface that
I would not be able to recognize the
dare should I ever return. The ground
j there and the silver is there, and the
face of the surrounding country is the
same as I left It, but the surface of the
ouud in that woods isjentirely different
what I left it some thirty years
Sain said it was long after night when
Peter finished his story, and made an
agreement with hiui to meet him at two
o'clock the next afternoon at the same
log, aud thou go and search together.
And, said Raul : I weut to the log the

wont to or what becamn of him the
I,ord only knows, but I was so much in
terested iu his story that I have loit
many days Id hunting for that mine.
We had several meotlugs with Sam
before he gat through with this story.
I, boy-like, was very much Impressed
by Sam's story, and was for digging
and boring all the woods up, but my
fathsr ouly laughed and never paid auy
more attention to it.
Years passed: my father died, old
Sam died, most of the old residents
have long since gone to their final rest,
relatives scattered,and the writer, after
a wandering life for years, came hack
to the old place aud settled, and old
Sam's story nearly obliterated from
memory : perhaps I never thought of it
iu thirty years, until it was brought
back forcibly some three years ago by
an incident.
The then owners of the property re
quested me to prospect it for a certai n
kind of stud then iu demand. I took
my nine foot auger ..nd bored in oue of
the ravines. At eight feet from the
surface I struck a crust that the auger
had but little effectou. I then reverse.!
aud used the auger as a puuch and
broke through the crust; then I bored it
out, and the auger brought tip quite a
quautitv of ttronll, white, silvet-looking
lumps fthen Sam's story came back to
my memory, and I found it was on the
exact course as given in the etory. The
question was with me, is it silver? I
pocketed my specimens ami kept quiet
until 1 could get to the city ; then I
submitted them to a silver-smith. The
samples retained tlieir brightness, and
the smith nut them to a test, ami they
proved to he a kind of iron, and my ex
pectations were rtattened out.
The question now resolves itself info
this : If there s silver under Letbrnm's
Hill, then this story is true, but, if there
be no silver there, then who tcld the
fib?

over the worst of roads they drive on missions
of mercy—generally for small compensation
aud often for none at all. To the country doc

Irishman, who had stopped him on the road,
was relating his suffering from what he call
ed "a dreadful pain in me chlst."

It won't hurt you. anyway, Pat," answer

continuing to his companion: "My son,
