"NOTHING HITCCEEDH LIKE MUCCESS,"
DANBURY; N. C„ THURSDAY, JULY 16, IW.
The Purser's Story.
nr LUKE SHARP.
I don't kndw.that 1 should tell this
story. x
YV ben tho pureer told ii to toe I know
it wis bis intention to write it out for a
magazine. In foot ho had writton it,
sod 1 understood that a noted American
magazine bad offered to publish it, but
1 have wit tolled that magazine for over
throe years and 1 have not seen the
purser's story in it. lam sorry that 1
did Dot write the story at the time, then
perhaps T should have caught tho ex
quisite peculiarities of tha purser's way
Of telling it. I find mysolf gradually
forgetting the story and 1 writo it now
for fear 1 shall forget it, and then bo
harassed all through after life by the
reiuenibrnucc of tho forgetting.
Perhaps after you read this story you
will say there to nothing in it after ail.
Well, that will be iny fault, then, and I
can only rogrot that 1 did not writo
down the story when it was told to me,
for as I sai in the purser's room that
day it soemed to ino that 1 had never
heard anything more graphic.
The pursor's room was well forward
on the Atlantic steamship, From one
of tho littlo red-curtained windows you
could look down to where the steerage
passengers wcio gatUiiad ou the deck.
Wlien tho bow of tho grout vessel dove
down into the big Atlautio waves, the
smother of foam that shot upward would
be borne along with tho wind and splat
ter like rain against the purser's win
dow. Something about this intermit
tent patter ou the pane reminded tho
purser of tho story and so he told it to
me.
There wcro a great many stoerage
passengers getting on at Queenstown,
he said, and as you saw when we were
theie it is quito a hurry getting them
aboard. Two officers stand at each side
of the gangway and take up tho tickets'
as the people crowd forward. They
generally have their ttiickets in their
hands and tUcro is no trouble. 1 stood
tiiCrfcuw* thom oto.—
Suddenly there was a fuss and a jam.
'What is it ?' 1 asked the officer.
'Two girls, sir, say they have lost
their tickets.'
I took tho girls aside and the stream
of humanity poured iu. One was about
1-1 and tho other, perhaps, 8 years old.
The littlo one had a firm grip of tho
elder's hand and sho was crying. The
larger girl looked mo straight in the eye
as 1 questioned her.
'Where's your tickets ?'
'We lost thim, sut.'
'Where V
'I dunno, sur.'
•Do you think you have them about
you or in your luggage ?'
•We've no luggage, sur.'
'Js this your sister ?'
'She is, sur.'
'Aro your parents abroad ?'
'They are not, sur.'
'Aro you all alone V
'Wo are, sur.'
'You can't go without your tickets.'
The younger one began to cry tho
more and the elder answered -
'Mebbo we can foind them, sur.'
They were bright-looking, intelligent
childron, and tho larger girl gave mc
such quick, straightforwaid answers, and
it socincd so impossible that children so
young should attempt to cross tho ocean
without tickets that I concluded to let
them come, and resolved to get at tiio
truth on the way over.
Next day I told tho deck steward to
bring the children to my room.
They came iu just as I saw them tbe
day before, the elder with a light grip
on tho hand of tbe younger, whose eyes
I never caught sight of Sho kept them
resolutely on the floor while tho other
looked straight at mo with her big, bluo
eyo3.
'Well, have you found youi tickets V
'No, sur.'
'What is your name •'
'Bridget, sur.'
'Bridget what V
•Bridget Mulligan, sur.'
'Where did you lire !'
•In Kildormey, eur.'
•Whore did you get your tickets '*
•From Mr. O'Grady, sur.'
Now I know Kildoruicy as woll as I
know this ship, aud I knew O'Grady
was our sgent thore. I would have
given ■ good deal at that moment for a
few words with him. But I know of
>o Mulligans thore, although, of course,
there might be. 1 was born myself on
ly a few miles from Kildormey. Now,
thinks 1 to myself, if these two children
can baffle a purser that's been twenty
years on tho Atlantio whon they say
t hey camo from his own town, almost,
by the power* they doserve their pas
sage over tho ocoan. Ihs i often seen
grown pcopUj try to ohoat thoir way
acrosa, aud I may say no c of them
succeeded on my ships.
• W here's your father and mother !'
'Both dead, sur.'
'Who was your fatbor 1'
'He was a pinsboner, sur.'
'Where did he draw bis pension »'
'1 dunno, sur.'
'Where did you get tho money to buy
your tickets V
'Tho neighbors, sur, and >!r. O'Grady
helped, sur.'
'What uoigbbors 1 H-ra.'
Sho unhesitatingly hai.ieu Tlum?w,
many of whom 1 know, nni as that had
frequently beeu done beforo I saw no
reason to doubt tho girl's word.
'Now,' I said, 'I want to speak with
your sister, l'ou may go.'
Tbo liulo one held on to her sister's
hand and cried bitterly.
When tho other was gone, I drew tho
child toward inc and questioned her but
could not get a word in reply.
l''or the next day or so 1 was bother
ed somewhat by a big Irishman named
O'Donnell, who was a firebrand among
the stcerago passengers. As wo had
many Kugli&h oud German passengers,
as well as many peaceable Irishmen,
who ootnplainod of the constant ruetions
O'Donnell was kicking up 1 was forced
to ask hiui to keep quiet. Il'j became
vory abusive one day and tried to strike
me. 1 had him looked up until he came
to his senses.
While I was in my room, after this
little excitement, Mrs. O'Donnell cumo
to and pleaded for her rascally husbaud.
I had notioed liar before. She was a
weak, broken-hearted woman whom
her husband made a slave of, and I
have no doubt beat licr when he bad
the chance. She was evidently mortally
afraid of bitn, and a look from him
seemed enough to take tho life out of
her.
'Well, Mrs. O'Donnell,' I said, 'l'll
lot your husband go, but ho will have to
keep a civil tongue in his bead and keep
his bands off poop to. l ivo scon men
for less put in irons during a voyage
and banded over to the authorities
when they landed. And now I want
you to do me a favor. 1 b«ro aro two
children on board without tickets. 1
don't believo they ever had tickets, and
1 wun't to find out. You're a kind
hearted woman, Mrs. O'Donnell, and
perhaps tno children will answer you.'
I bad the two banded in, and they
came band in hand as unual. The elder
looked at mo as if sho couldu't take her
eyes off my faco.
'Look at this woman,' I said to her;
'she wants to speak to you. Ask her*
some questions about herself,' 1 whis
pered to Mrs. O'Donnell.
'Aousbla,' said Mrs. O'Donnell with
infinite tenderness, taking the disengag
ed band of tho elder girl. 'Tell, me,
darlint, where yee aro from.'
I suppose I had spoken rather harsh
ly to them before, although I had not
intended to do so, but however that
may bo at the first word of kindness
froui tbo lips of thoir eountrywoman
both girls broke down and cried as if
thoir haarts would break. The poor
woman drew thorn toward her, and stro
king tho fair hair of tho elder girl, tned
to comfort her while the tears streamed {
dowu her own choeks. 'llush, aousbla,
hush, darlints, sburo the gentlcmin's
not goin' to bo hard wid two poor ohil
dher going to a Btrango country.'
Of oourso it would uever do to admit
that tbo oompunj vojild cjrry emigrants
frco through any mattor of sympathy
and 1 must havo appearod rather hard
hearted when I told Mrs. O'Donnell
that I would have to take them back
with me to Cork. I sent tbe children
away, aud thon arranged with Mrs.
O'Donnell to soc aftor them during the
voy-ago. to whioh sho agreed if her bun
bund would let her.
I oould get nothing from the girl ex
cept that she had lost her ticket, and
wlieu we sighted New York I took them
to the steerage and asked tbe passengers
if any ono would assume charge of tbo
children and pay their passage. Naone
would do io.
'Thfn,' I said 'theae children will
go back with me to Cork, and if I fiud
they never bought tickets they will have
to go to jail.'
There were groan and hisses at that,
and I gave the ohild.-en in charge of tho
oabin stewardess with orders to see
that tbey did not leave the ship. I
was at last convinced that they bad no
friends among the stoerngo passengers.
1 intended to take them ashore myself
before wo sailod, and 1 know of good
hands in New Ycrl; who would see to
the little waifs, although 1 did not pro
pose that any of the emigrants should
know that an old bachelor purser was
fool enough to pay for tho passage of a
couple of unknown Irish children.
W c landed our eabin passengers aud
the tender came alongside to take the
steerage passongers to Castle Garden.
I got tbe stewardess to bring ont the
ohildren, and the two stood and watched
everyone got aboard tho tender.
Just as the tender moved away there
yas a wild shriek araonij tho crowded
passengers, and Mrs. O'Oonnol! flung
her arms above her head and criod in
tho most heart-breaking tone 1 over
heard':
'Oh, my babies, my babies.'
"Kapo quiet,' hissed O'Donnell,
grasping her by the arm. Tho terrible
ten days strain had givon away at last,
and the poor woman sank in a heap at
his foci.
'Bring back that boat,' 1 shouted, and
the tender came back.
'Come hero O'Donnell.'
'l'll not!' be yelled, shaking his fist
at mc.
'Bring that jnn aboard."
Tbey soon brought bnn back and 1
gave his wife over to tho caro of tbo
stewardess. She speedily rallied, and
hugged and kissed her children as if she
would never part with them.
'So, O'Donnell, these are your chil
dren V
'Yis, they are; an' I'd have jc know
I'm in a frao country, hedad, and 1 dare
'yo to 'ay a finger on mo.'
'Don't dare too much,' 1 said,'or I'll
show yon what can be done in a free
country. Now if I lot tho children go
will you sen 1 their passage money to
tho company when you get it *'
'I will,' lie answered, although I knew
ho lied.
'Well,' I said, 'for Mrs. O'Dounull's
sake I'll let thcui go, and 1 must con
gratulate any frco country that gets a
citizen like you.'
Ot course 1 never hoard from O'Don
nell since.
An Eccentric Cbaucellor
Chancellor George M. Bibb, of Ken
tucky, twice a senator from that Stato,
and secretary of tbe treasury in Mr.
Tyler's administration, was known iu
Washington as 'the last of tho small
clothes.' Until his death bo wore a
broad-brimmed hat, fitio linen, long
waist-coat, knee-broeehes, black silk
hose, and low shoes with silver buck
les.
The chaucellor's personal appearance
and manners proclaimed him a gentle
man of tbe old sobool—dignified, high
toned, and courteous to everybody.
Even tbe boys, knowing that ho took
snuff, would oftun stop him in tho stroots
with, —
'Ploaso, sir givo us a pinch of snuff!'
•Tho chancellor, with an air that
would have become Louis XIV. himself,
would at once oflor his snuff-box to the
little follow.
One day tho ohancollor mot in Wash
ington a friend from Kentucky, and
inquired particularly about tbo gen
tleman s family—bis son and his son's
children.
'His youngest,' said tho friend, 'is
tamed for yau and for ono of tho Bib
lical characters, Neliemiah.'
•That's right,' replied the ehancellor.
'The law antl the prophets should always
go togothcr.'
The chancellor's fondness for angling
always amounted to a passion. Wheth
er tho fish 'bit' or nit, ho would sit for
hours on the oank of a stream, with rod
and line wailing for a nibble. A story,
illustrative of his reputation as the most
patient of anglers, used to bo tlod in
Wushingtou circles ;
A gentleman seeing that tho chancel
lor had been sitting on tho wharf for
several hours, watching his float strolled
down to him, and asked, —
•What luck V
'Nono,' replied the chancellor. 'I
thought I had a bite two or three hours
ago, but apparently there is not a fish
about.*'
'Wlmt is yotir bait''
'A live, plump young frog, hooked
through tho fleshy part of tho leg.'
•Look there, eluuicollorsaid tho
friend, burstiug into a laugh and pomt
itig to a log partly out of water.
The chancellor looked, and saw his
bait sunning itself on a log !
It is no disgrace not to bo able to do
everything; but to undertake, or pre
tend to do, what you are not made for,
is not only shameful, but extremely
i troublesome and vexatious.
