Tbe, mizzen topsail , blew away before it
could be securedZ t , f
The ship wis heavily . loaded, and
jaborod badly in;, the brick sea, which
soon followed the coming of tlie gale.',
The captain preferred to h-rra her with
dnglo reefed topsail, for he know that if
ho started his halliards the sails would
flat "to pieces' before his clumsy crew
could smother, them. Each ,heavy gust
pressed the ice rail down into the water,
and tne spray new over wio uuwa iu m
continuous shower. '.' , ''
Tho discontent among; tho men grew
more 'violent as darkness increased, and
theysagan to feel the agonies of aoasick
ness augmented by wet clothes and , tho
raw autumnal wind., ;
-, Thev auicklv made no their minds to
mutiny, and while crouched in tbe lee of
tbe deck house to- escape tbe spray ar
ranged for concerted action at the first
opportunity. i n ;i
, Before long ft voice. was heard callings
"Stand by the weather main bracesl"
They went aft to the brace and when
the second mate noticed all hands were
there he advanced to ask why tbe watch
below were on deck.. For answer be waa
knocked down by a blow front ft capstan
Lor and quickly bound, hand and foot,,
with rope's ends. . .
, Then they rushed upon the captain,
who shot tbe foremost through tbe shoul
der, but tlie revolver was knocked away
and hia throat cluLcliod by the fingers of
a burly stevedore, whose other hand waa
raised to stab liiuv, V ,
At this crixia there was beard ft shriek
so loud antl. unexpected that the aston
ished ruffians remained motionless for an
instant. A white form, with long blonde
hair streaming In the wind, bounded
t.i..l km fei Innlr in hia ahirj.
If the vessel had gone down, Bhe would
havo been drowned like ft helpless animal
in a trap; but she ran the risk, in order
that the crew on deck might not be di
verted from their efforts to save the ship.
With this end in view, she made no out
cry when the heaving of the ship moved
the chest back and forth, grinding her
against the sharp splinter .
- Bhe had iaintea irom pun wwu w
captain found her. Part of the bulkhead
had to be out away to release u,
out further laceration front' the ragged
edges of tho woodwork.' - - .
When the carpenter went forward, he
told what he had seen in the cabin; and
the man who had been at tne wneai re
lated the conversation that had passed
between the captain and nis wue turougn
thewlndOW,- ,.,'i.r: '".",'rl "':
The crew were impressed. Bailors un
avoidably see so much that is unlovely in
women, that they are especially quic w
recognize true womanhood, and are out
iipoken admirers of that high moral cour-
age wlncn 01 ton uervo, ueuwu i
times Of great danger, to a heroism, sel
dom equaled by tho sterner sex. i
After - breakfast,, the next Sunday
morning, Mrs. White appeared on deck
for the first time since the squall. She
was seated in an easy chair on the quar
WriiuOr: hr arm m a alinir. and ft band
age round her forehead. The officers
were suddenly startled by fleeing the
crew come aft in ft body; end, remem
bering their iformer experience, imme
diately assumed ft defensive attitude. ,
One of the men reassured them by ad
vancing as spokesman, and ; saying, with
much rude eloquence, that they wished
to thank .Mr White ior her brave and
unselfish action, both in defending her
husband and for Indirectly saving the
ship when struck by the squall, as they
knew well tnat, nau aue..wwn na
first, the ship could not have been , re
leased afterward. They had been , so
dctermiued tliat a ahow of force by the
officers would not have sufficed to make
them work the vessel to Montevideo; but
the sourage and kindness of tho weakest
member of the ship's company had done
more than ol) tho powder and ball in tho
arm '. chest could, nave , accuiupuwiou,
namely, induced them to give up their
intention to mutiny again, and run the
aliip ashore near pemambuco. . . t ,

sliod, tho safety of the ship and the lives

to Mr White, they assured her and the
officers tlutt they would bd peaceable and
subordinate for tho rest 01 uio voyago.
TJs man who liad. been wounuea uur-
Ing tho mutiny brought oft a nammoca
which he had made of cod line for Mr
White; and when be bad slung it in the
shado of a sail; she waa placed in it, well
pleased at the influence ft gooa woman
could have over sixteen lawless and

Each of these is on foundations of stone, J
set upon the solid rock far aown in n
ground. One la immovable, except In ft
single direction. It is hung between two
massive posts of stone and metal, so as to
sweep a narrow strip of sky from north
to south. This is used for watching the
stars cross the meridian and regulate the
time. Another, and larger on which is
used for comet seeking, is hung upon ft
pivot, ao as to turn in any and all pos
sible direction and that by tho slightest
posaible movement Attached to this are
various ingenious devices for controlling
...I rmrulatinr its movement The dome
of tbe low tower in which this instrument
is placed ia movable, and is turned in any
direction by means of very simple and
easily managed mechanism. -One
of the most intelligent and useful
of the many instrumenta fat the observa
tory fathe chronograph. This ia an in
genious little machine, run by clock
work, and which, by means of electric
connection the observer can note the
exact time, to thehundreth part of ft sec
ond, that ft atari crosses the meridian.
The working of this cannot well r uo

ferent clocks by which the various times
are kept for the regulations of tho tower

" Flogging- through the fleet was com
mon in 1800 and before, and even nnce. .
This wa part of sentence passed by ft
court martial. . Tbe launch or. long boot
of ft ship to which the offender belonged
was pulled alorigRiJa of each ship in the
fleet and the -prisoner received a dozen .
lashee from ene of her boatswains' mates)
in the presence of her officers and crew.
Notwithstanding the presence of a sor
geon to report tbe ability of a prisoner to
endure puiiishment, many have 1 died I un
der the lash,' A single lash has been
knowsr to kill a man, whereas othcre
have endured six docen and lived. Old
offenders who have been frequently tm-
der , tbe lash, , and wno nave naa in
enough to repress their sigh say that
they suffer more than those who cry out
under every lash. A hardened drunkard
aid that in resisting his feelings be had
deranged his vision to such an extent that
be had ever afterward seen tlie skeleton
ot ft dead man near him, grinning some-flnu-
In hia face. But he feared neither
man nor fiend; he probably died insane.
A young man of education and rather
delicate bufld, who was frequently Cogged -
for drunkennes said toa wnen
tbe lash he felt aa if liquid fawn were
poured down the marrow of hia back
bone. Yet he would get drunk every
time he had aeheaee, - .
; In the Glnoceater, when shaking out a
reef of the roamtopssil, ft point became
