A STRANGE PASSENGER.
Early in May, 1776, the brig Palinet- j
to, C.ipt. Graves, sailed from George
town, South Carolina, with provision-*
and ammunition lor the garrison on
Sullivan's Island, which was under
the command of" Colonel Moultrie.
As both the squadron of Gen. Clin- '
tun and Sir Peter Parker were, at this
period, oil" Cape Fear River, the- un
dertaking was perilous, and required
n!ec seamanship to avoid a?capture.
Cap'.ain Graves was a good careful
seaman, and for his crew. had selected
'!?e best men he could obtain.
Just before the brig sailed, a sober,
steady-looking young man, wearing
buckskin breeches and a snufT colored
ecat, had solicited and been granted a.
passage in the Palmetto, *
The stranger, apparently occupied
with his own thought^ seemed to pay
little attention to the. manoeuvres ol
the sailors. >
Watching him abstractly walking |
the quarter-deck, hi* stern, sober face!
bent downward, his we seldom lifted,
the crew would shrug their shoulders,
declaring theii belief that iic was a
''Jonah, " and, therefore, that no good
Itjck would come having him on
hoard.
'?"he captain's pretty wife, Mary,
wr.- accompanied her husband, re
marked that the passenger looked like
a Scottish cle;gyman, and advised tier
husband to sec ihat the men did. not
utter any expletives to shock the ear-,
of the divine.
The captain, however, shook his
head. 15 is mate had whispered his
Luspicion--. that he was a Jjrith't .S'/r.
The report was rapidly circulated .
throughout the brig. The crew mitr- 1
mured, and Mrs. Graves said that
Ehe could not sleep another night if
l:;e man was permitted to remain on
boriu'. .
tivi.vs* siie opposed a plan to I
set him adrift in mid-oeean. She was j
2 kind - hcar'cd iittlc woman, anil beg
?Cii her husband to wait tiil they sight- i
-?J land hetorc sending him ufi".
The captain. It* get round the one- i
riiv's fleet, hail to run lar to the east. .
i'isen he tackcd, heading for Charles- j
ton llorhor, thirty miles distant.
He had not headed tlms an hour,
when a heavy ^aie pounced upon the I
? . |
little brig, driving her toward Capej
[?"ear River, t !?c rendezvous oi'rhej
British fleet .
The gale increased in violence, and !
,way went the Palmetto, humming on I
!ier beam-ends, with evitivthing r.u- j
lling, and the spray flying to her top- j
<aiJ vards.
"Land ho!" screamed the lookout.]
Sure enough. th-re were the rocl.s. ;
Iroxvnii-^ like k i ?onpat is. to the
I north of the river; anil there, ?ui ther
j south, were a number of thin columns
! ? Hie masts of the enemy's llcot!
I The crew came bundling aft.
j "Away with him! He's a Jonah
, ;?t:J a British spy!" they cried, address
I ing the captain, and pointing to the
| passenger, who, with a small spy glass
in his hand, just taker, from his pocket,
I was surveying the vessels of t lie foe ?
"we wiil set him adrift!"
"Wait a moment," r aid the passen
ger. '"ami I will taik to you.
He tipoke in the most unconcerned
manner possible, and again leveled his
i !;;ss toward the %ci. After the sur
vj v , he replaced the instrument in the
snufi'-colored coat; then facing the
frowning array c:' seamen, he said, in
a quiet, steady way :
"i have concluded not to leave the
vessel at present!"
?'We will see about that," cried the
captain, fiercely. "Down with that
skid" and throw him into it!''
? The skiff alluded to was an o!d, haif
condemncd boat, amidships.
It was at once lowered alongside.
The men were about laying hands
on the man to throw him in, when the
voice of ti;e lookout was heard:
??Sail he! ? r:^!;*. astern!" ?
All looked in this direction, and sure
enough, there was a British sloop of
! war, suddenly bursting from the rack
j and fog, which, for sometime, had rest
I ed in this quarter,
Bang!
A ten -pou iid shot, whirling across
I the brig, showed that tiie Englishman
guessed her character.
Graves, -however, noticing that the
sloojj had lost her foretopmast, hoped
to escape her, and stirred neither tack
nor she it.
op went tne saucy /vraenean n.ig
3t her mizzen. flashing defiance.
I: the wind helrl on as it was, he
hoped also to run past the. >vho!c Tiri
tish squadron, not a ves. el ol* which
' could put out after him in such a gale.
I All jiands, no v.; watciimg the sloop,
I forgpt their passenger. i ler wrecked
j foretopmast impeded her considerably, '
so the PaimeSlo s?:>?vje gained |
Meanwhile the din of the storm in- 1
.
creasec.
The sloop kept on 'iring shot a'ter
shot. which, howe.er. owing to the vi
olence of tlie wind, had not vet done
damage.
buddtniv there was a continuous
sound like rolling thunder. With
shivering canvas*, ii:e i>ti;r fell of a
point, owing to a change in the wind,
which now drove her straight toward
the liritivh licet I
The Englishman astern redoubled
her firing, as the captain retrimed his
shaking canvass.
Hang? whizz-z! crack!
Aw iv, ?"fashing by the board, went
the l.ittle brig's foivtopgallantmast.
PuiiV of* smoke from the fleet, nmv
not two miles distant ? a succession of
heavv reports, and there was a con
tinuous humming ull around the brig.
She was between a <tro*s-fire of iron
hail, the sloop hanging awav' at her
from one side, and the fleet from the
other.
Meanwhile the former vessel now |
now gained on her; far, with the loss!
of 3 1 ?* r topgallant mast, the little brio's
headway was much deadened.
The eapuun sa.v r.a way of escape
f/oni hi^ enemies except !> v running his
vessel upon one oi' couple of huge
r-K'kv elevations ahead, and condemn
ing ail hands to a wa'cri grave. The
rocks alluded to had a passage he
twecn them; a passage which, from it*,
narrowness, was deemed impractica
ble even for small schooners. To Ven
ture into the jaws of these rocks the I
fikipper was sure would be to seal his (
destruction.
The firing had now become terrific, j
Seme of tl.e shot ploughed through!
the brig's huM, tearing up her planking, j
and shattering her hulwaKks.
"We must surrender!" cried Graves,
disconsolate!/ advancing to haul down !
tha American nag.
There was a rushing, swooping)
sound, like the bounding ?;! a p.mther j
through the air.
!
It v.as the strange passenger, whose j
eagle eves now blazed into the Cap
tain's as he sprang before him, his j
voice rattling like a thunderbolt thro' |
the brig. I

A singular el ait 'C seemed to have

sinewy arms stripped to 'he elbows.

His voice inspire.! the me.ilikean
elcrciric shock. Jl's confident : r
seemed lo put life in every vein, The
captain, overawed, drew h.vjk ? .t::c
the Jiit * stil} floated.
The stranger snatched lb** trumpet
fro:n the skipper's hand. 1 1 is orders
showed the skillful seaman at?>nce.
No longer the abstracted air. 'i'hc
face was like a grim lion's ? the voice,
a lion's roar,
"A pull on the weather braces!*?
Port helm? l hr- re ? steady ? steady!"
The men obeyed. Some power no*,
their own scenic, 1 to urge them on .
Wild enthusiasm inspired them: their
checrs split the gale.
The shrieking wind ? the booming
sea ? the flying shot, were making mad
music.
On boomed the brig, ihe white wit
ter hubling over her lee rail, and the
stranger's lithe form bending far ovc;
the white ?valor.
Straight for the rocks bounded ;li?
vessei.
"You will have us ashore!" crie.i
captain Graves. "I'ard-a-starboard
there at the wheel!"
"Hard-a-port!" thundered the strang
er, in a voice so loud and sudden that
it nearlv lifted from hi* feet the helms
man, who obeyed the last order with
out hardly knowing it.
The rocky passage was now abrenr ?
the fore-rigging. The hard jamming
of the wheel, however, sent the vcs-vm
right into the narrow passage.
"Up and meet her! Steady!" caire
the lion voice again.
The helmsman trembled. On eat.!:
side of the brig, her vard-arms nearly
touching them, were masses of rugged
rock. It was a perilous situation ? a
critical moment. Never before had
vessel been dircc'ed into thsse rocky
J
The brig .y, lived ? the steersman fil
tered ? \vi!h bursting holts the hrig
rolled fur over like a log. Another
moment would have sealed her doom,
but the stranger's iron voice clanged
through the man's brain ? the iron ?
hand of the stranger assisted hi'.-?, and
in another minute the brig had sa!i!j
passed through I he passage, and war.
soon awav from her enemies, boomir.g
along for Charleston Harbor.
??You have saved my vessel! For
Go.t's sake, who are you?'' exclatmcri
Captain Graves, as the stranger now
watched the baffled sloop-ot'-war.
which, unable to weather the rock, had
been obliged to head for port.
The passenger, without answering,
sprung into the sk: fi' alongside.
"Hold!"' cried Graves, am sorry.
I ordered voti Irom my craft! Remain."
"Avast there! Captain Paul Jones
will never remain aboard a ve?se'.
vv'.sosfc master mistook him for an cn
?
emy to America!*' cried the passenger,
his eves Hashing hatred, as he empha
sized the last word.
.So saving, he severed Mie boat- warp
and was soon lost to the view of il:?
astounded spectators, in the beach ra :k
an J sea mist.
Several years after, Captain Graves
saw, in Franco, the nob e commander
.\ ho had saved his brig, lie no longer
wore the sn::fl" colored roat, but wa<
in full uniform, decorated with the
cross of the order of military merit.
An Episcopal clergyman in t!:i;
neighborhood said, at a meeting tlv
other day, where ritualism was l '-in
discussed: "If there is muc.'i more
!i:ss abotTl the kind of garment minis
ters shall wear i.i liie pulpit, some >
u ?? will perform the services with none
at all." Of course, as this is a free
country, every man may do as ke
pleases, but we must ?ay that while a
minister who comes into church with
nothing a* al! ori him hut his hair anil
whiskers and toe rails in-.v mean well,
his conduct would seem to us to hi
somewhat wrong. We would not go
to a church where the clergyman be
haved so. even if it was the only church
in the country. We approve of sim
plicity in dress, especially in the pulpit,
'out this costume i> hardly rich enough.
Even i ho most, evangelic il and unri
tualistic p.Klor might at least wear ait
umhj;ellu and a pair of wristbands into
?.he sanctuary.
