THE DREADNAUGHT MUTINY
The Story Told by the Clipper's Boatswain.
We hauled out of Waterloo Dock, Liverpool, on July 11, 1830. We were towed into the Mersey, and anchored well down by the Rock Light, where we took in 300 emigrants. The crew was then mustered and examined by a Government officer. As we had no boatswain, Capt. Samuel made one out of me. The crew was far from being a good one. The emigrant agent told the Captain that he had never seen such a set of pirates in his life, and advised him not to sail with them. The Captain smiled, "I'll draw their teeth," he said. Then, turning to the crew, "Men," he shouted, "you know the rules of the ship. Pass up to the carpenter's shop and have the points of your knives broken."
"What for?" several of the crew cried.
"You've heard the order. Obey it!" the Captain replied.
The men did obey it, but with a bad grace. The grumbling at the carpenter's shop was so audible that the Captain heard it, "Lay aft, here, all hands!" he roared.
They cameaft in a dogged manner. "Men," he said, "you have a right to growl, but let it be in the forecastle—not in the hearing of myself or my officers. Obey the rules promptly. Don't shamble your feet as you walk, but raise them and move quickly when you are spoken to, and answer 'Aye, aye, sir,' so as to be heard. I noticed your saucy manner in coming aft just now. It was insulting to me, and some of you know it." Turning to two of the crew he added: "Finnegan, you and Casey have sailed with me before. You know me, and I know you. I know you as the ringleaders of the Bloody Forties, and I see some of them before-me now. I know that you have handed your pistols were self-cooking hair-triggers, carrying ounce bullets. There was a momentary lull. "Men," said the Captain, "you have found your master."
A howl of derision was the reply. The Captain slowly backed down the passage between the water casks and the rail. He had patently turned, when the men again rushed upon him with a yell. Wheeling suddenly, he again covered the leaders with his pistol, and thundered, in a hoarse voice. "The man who advances another food dies!" He backed through the passageway as far as the main hatch, and then walked aft.
In the afternoon some of the passengers begged the Captain to run into Queenstown eight miles north of na. He replied that the ship was bound to New York, and not to Queenstown, and that they used have no fear for their lives. At 6 P.M. he went forward and tried to reason with the men. It was of no use. They defied him with blood-curdling curses. Finnegan bared his breast, and dared the Captain to shoot him, calling him the fifthiest of names. The Captain leveled his pistol at him. We all thought that Finnegan was a dead man. His face blanched and he fell back a step or two. You could have heard a pin drop. The pistol was suddenly lowered.
"The law shall deal with you, you cowardly dog," the Captain said. Then, turning to the crew, he again called upon them to return to their duty. They refused unless he gave them watch and watch. He replied that he was there to command the ship, and they were there to obey his orders, and that they should neither eat nor drink until they had returned to their duty. The yells and curses were terrific. Some one screamed "Let's kill the old —— this minute!" The Captain ordered them back, pistol in hand, while they kept crying, "Shoot!" "Shoot!"
"If I feared you men, I would shoot," he answered. The law gives me the right; but tain's pistols, excepting an old-fashioned pepper-box revolver, carried by Whitehorne.
"I am sorry that the rest of you are such cowards," continued the Captain, turning to the recusant officers. "Boys I do not include, for they are too small. Doctor, you are a greater coward than I took you for."
"Sure, Captain," responded the Celtic doctor, belying his nationality, "I didn't ship to foight. Me seize is agin me," which was true, for he had a paunch like a balloon.
Whitehorne was given charge of the deck, with instructions to shoot the first man who came abaft the mainmast. I went into the cabin with the Captain, and we passed into the after steerage, where the Germans were partitioned off from the other passengers. The Captain addressed them in their own language, pointing out their danger if he were killed. He urged them to assist him in quelling the mutiny, and thus place their wives and children beyond danger. To a man they agreed to obey him. The Captain armed seventeen of them with iron bars, four feet long.
It was near midnight. The stars shone bright, and all the passengers were below. There was a deathlike stillness. A low growl from the dog drew our attention to the forward gangway. Two men were crawling afft close to the rail between the rail and the house. I fancied I saw their knives in their hands. The Captain stood at the break of the poop, and I stood at the cabin door. Whitehorne was near him. "Shall I shoot, sir?"
"No," the Captain replied, "there are only two of them."
"Shall I call up the Germans?" I asked.
"No," was the answer.
He waited until the men got to the captain, about twenty feet from where he stood. Then he shouted, "Move no further. Stand and throw up your hands, or I'll put a bullet through you."
shop was so audible that the Captain heard it. "Lay af, here, all hands!" he roared.
They cameaft in a dogged manner. "Men," he said, "you have a right to growl, but let it be in the forecastle—not in the hearing of myself or my officers. Obey the rules promptly. Don't shamble your feet as you walk, but raise them and move quickly when you are spoken to, and answer 'Aye, aye, air,' so as to be heard. I noticed your sancy manner in coming aft just now. It was insulting to me, and some of you know it." Turning to two of the crew he added: "Finnegan, you and Casey have sailed with me before. You know me, and I know you. I know you as the ringleaders of the Bloody Forties, and I see some of them before me now. I know that you have banded yourselves together, and that before you sailed you took an oath in the den of Mrs. Riley to clip the wings of the bloody Dreadnaught and give the skipper a swim. You said that the lid of Davy Jones's hocker had been open long enough for him, and that you meant to do as you pleased and to have your own way on this ship. Now, men, you see that I know and do not fear you. I'm glad to have such men, for I think that I can teach you a lesson that will last you for life Sweeny, you and I were boys together in the Texas navy. What I was as a boy is fully developed in me as a man, and divested of villainous associations. Now, men stand where you are while the officers search you for concealed weapons." They did so. The officers searched both their persons and the forecastle. "If you are obedient," the Captain continued, "you shall have watch and watch and an occasional glass of grog. I see that some of you are shivering for the want of grog now. You shall have some to brace you up. Steward, give the men a glass of grog." It was done. "Now," shouted the Captain, as they were wiping their mouths on the backs of their hands, "man the windlass and heave up the anchor."
It was done. The tug left us at Point Lynas. We had a moderate southwest breeze. We stood across the Channel to the Irish shore, and then tacked, working down the Channel. The next morning we were close to St. David's Head. The Captain ordered the helm down. The helmsman obeyed without repeating the order. The next order was "Hard a lee." The head sheets were not let go promptly, causing the ship to almost miss stays. As she slowly came round, the order "Rise tacks and sheets" was heard. As she was head to the wind swapping round the Captain shouted, "Main topsail had—let go and haul—haul taut the weather main brace!"
The men were listless. The Captain called them aft and sharply reprimanded them, for they had been slow in letting go the sheets. The man at the wheel was told that the next time he neglected to repeat an order he would be punished. Trouble was brewing, and the Captain cautioned his officers to be prudent. The wind backed up to the southward, so that the ship luffed up to her course down the channel. We were off Queenstown at noon. The crew was at dinner, and the Captain was walking the quarter deck watching our course. The man at the wheel was not steering very steady. The Captain cautioned him. The man made no reply. "Did you hear me speak to you, sir?" the Captain asked.
"I am steering steady," the helmsman replied in aullen manner.
The Captain jumped toward him. The fellow tried to draw a sheath knife, but before he could do so the Captain struck him a powerful blow under the left ear. It knocked him senseless leeward of the wheel. Wallace, the Captain's dog, sprang upon him, with his fore paws on his chest. The Captain took the knife from him and ordered the officers to handelf him. When this was shop was so audible that the Captain heard it. "Lay af, here, all hands!" he roared.

and the Captain was walking the quarter deck watching our course. The man at the wheel was not steering very steady. The Captain cautioned him. The man made no reply. "Did you hear me speak to you, sir?" the Captain asked.
"I am steering steady," the helmsman replied in a soiled manner.
The Captain jumped toward him. The fellow tried to draw a sheath knife, but before he could do so the Captain struck him a powerful blow under the left ear. It knocked him senseless leeward of the wheel. Wallace, the Captain's dog, sprang upon him, with his fore paws on his chest. The Captain took the knife from him and ordered the officers to handelf him. When this was done he was locked up in the after-house. The Captain was surprised to find that the knife had been repotted.
It was all done so quickly that the crew knew nothing of it except what they heard from the passengers. The second mate took the wheel until two bells (1 o'clock). The men were then ordered to "turn to, lay aft, and haul taut the weather main brace." They all came aft, but paid no attention to the order. It was repeated. "Why don't you obey the order?" the Captain shouted.
"We want Mike let out of irons," was the answer.
"From this time, men," said the Captain, "you shall see who is master. You are acting insolently. I see that no kind treatment on my part will deter you from carrying out the compact made in Liverpool. I shall henceforth stop your watch and watch, and treat you as you deserve. A refusal to obey an order places you in open mutiny. I repeat my order, 'haul taut the weather main brace.'"
Not a man moved. The suspense was harrowing. The emigrants had huddled aft as far as the mainmast to see the outcome. They were not allowed on the quarterdeck. It looked as though blood would be shed. The Captain had right on his side, and the men had might on their side. As the Captain turned to go into the cabin the crew rushed forward. The Captain was satisfied that their knives, like the knife of the helmsman, had been repainted, and that mischief was intended. He returned from the cabin wearing a raglan. The emigrants were ordered below. Accompanied by his faithful dog, he went forward. His officers were not with him. The first mata was an old man, the second mata a coward, and the third mate, Whitehorne, small in stature, but brave as a lion, had taken the wheel, for the helmsman had leit it, and had run forward to join his shipmates.
When the Captain reached the galley door the crew rushed at him with drawn knives. He threw off his raglan. With a pistol in each hand, pointed at the heads nearest him, and with a cutlass at his side, he stood as immovable as a statue. The screaming of the women and children below, blended with the noise on the deck, added to the interest of the scene. The men hesitated, for they knew the Captain to be a dead shot.
came on the forecastle, but the Captain and Third Mate Whitehorne went forward and worked the tacks and sheets unmolested. Several passengers afterward came aft, and asked the Captain to give the men food, and one or two threatened to supply the men themselves if their request was unheeded. "I am sorry to see you sympathize with the mutineers," the Captain replied. "If they conquer me they will sountle the ship after committing the grossest outrages on those you hold most dear. At night when you are asleep, they will batten down the hatches, and you will go down with the ship while they take to the boats. They will have no witnesses to tell the story of their piracy. If picked up they will hang together to save their lives, and connect a story of her loss, claiming to be the sole survivors. They know that, under marine law, they have already subjected themselves to a penalty of five years in State prison and a fine of $5,000 which virtually means imprisonment for life. I mean to bring them to subjection through hunger, and I forbid you giving them food or siding them in any manner. If you obey me, you subject yourselves to the same penalties. The sympathy that you have already shown them has protracted this difficulty. I have warned you. Let me see no more of it."
His remarks made a favorable impression on most of the passengers. Three, however, were disposed to cavil. To them he said: "Understand me. I have the same authority over you that I have over the crew. If I see a possibility of your joining them in rebellion I shall put you in irons."
One of the three defied him. The Captain ordered him in irons. He had a sharp tussle with Mr. Whitehorne and myself, but we handcuffed him without interference. The Captain ordered the decks cleared, and the passengers went below.
The sun set clear, with a nice breeze from the northwest. The sea was smooth, and the ship was running eight knots on the wind. The Captain had another confab with the crew. They again demanded watch and watch and he refused. They had reflected, and were evidently in a more quiet frame of mind. "Now, men," said the Captain, "thear what I have to say. I will forgive this mutinous conduct in all those who throw their knives overboard, excepting Finnegan, Casey and Sweeny."
The proposition elicited contemptuous yells. The Captain came aft, and the crew set their watch over the forecastle, as on the previous night. The mutiny had lasted thirty-six hours, with no sleep aft and no food forward. About 8 P.M. the officers, carpenters and boys were mustered on the quarter-deck." "I want to know on whom I can depend," said the Captain. "Hunger makes the greatest cowards desperate."
"You can depend on me, sir," Mr. Whitehorne replied.
"And on me," I said; "but Captain, I have no pistol."
We were the only men who answered. There were no firearms aside from the Capuilted knives. He levelled his pistol at Casey, and Wallace sprang at Sweeny's throat. Casey ran back toward the forecastle crying: "Jump up, boys; we've got him. Let's finish him."
The crew rushed up with yells and oaths. In accordance with a preconcerted plan, some tried to clamber over the house and others took a roundabout way, so as to make a flank and rear attack. They were dumb-founded by the appearance of the Germans, who felled the leaders with the iron bars. Defeated in this attempt the grew retreated to the starboard, forward. There the Captain held them at bay, threatening death to the man who dared to advance. "I give you a minute to throw your knives overboard," he shouted.
"You'll go overboard first, you — psalm-singing —," Finnegan yelled.
"Throw your knives overboard and go to work," cried the Captain.
"If we throw our knives overboard, what guarantee shall we have against your shooting us?" asked one of the two men who had craved for quarter while on the first watch.
"If I didn't fear you with knives, I'll certainly not fear you unarmed," the Captain replied. "To show how little I fear you, I'll give my pistols to any passenger you name."
"Will you give us watch and watch again and promise not to prosecute us when we go ashore?"
"I'll make no bargain with you. Throw your knives overboard and go to work."
There was a deep silence. One of the night watch then said: "Well, boys, it's no use. He's too much for us. Here goes my knife," and he tossed it overboard.
His example was catching. One after another the knives went spinning to leeward in the beams of the rising sun. The Captain discharged his pistols. The reports set the women and children fastened below to screaming. Imagining that the fight had begun, they were frantic: "Now, men," roared the Captain, "name the man who is to receive these pistols. Finnegan," he continued: "you are the bully of the forecastle and the ringleader in this mutiny. You have insulted me by your disgusting epithets. You called me a coward. Ask my pardon at once. I never take an insult from any man—much less from a brute like you."
"And I never have and never will ask pardon from any man," Finnegan replied.
The words were hardly out of his mouth when the Captain struck him a blow between the eyes. It raised him from his feet and sent him headlong down the forecastle. The crew were restless: "Stand back, men," the Captain said: "Whitehorne go and bring that fellow up."
The mate found him lying unconscious at the foot of the ladder. A rope was tied around him. He was hauled on deck and turned over to the doctor. In running the rope around him Whitehorne found a knife concealed under his shirt. On seeing the knife the Captain drew his cutlass, and ordered Casey and Sweeny to throw up their

hands. They did so; asking the Captain whether he intended to kill them. Whitehorne searched them. Casey had a bowie knife under his jumper, and Sweeny one in his boot. No weapon was found on any of the others. "Now, men," the Captain began, "let it be understood that you are to jump when spoken to, and instead of walking you are to run to obey the orders given. I will treat you as you deserve. The order last given, which you have disobeyed, was 'Haul taut the weather main brace!' I now repeat it. Haul taut the weather main brace!"
"Aye, Aye, sir," they answered, with one voice, and ran to obey it. They hauled on the brace with such a will that they came near springing the main yard. "Belay there, men," interposed the Captain. "Boy, tell the cook to get the men's coffe ready. Whitehorne, turn the men to holstoning decks."
Finnegan had recovered from his swoon, and was sitting aft near the break of the poop deck. When asked a second time whether he would apologize he made no reply. The Captain ordered him bucked and put in the sweat box. In less than half an hour he began to cry for mercy. He was brought to the quarter deck, where all hands were busy holstoning. "Men," said the Captain, "hear what this bully, your late leader, has to say. He would have led you to murder and to the gallows."
"Captain," said Finnegan, much subdued, "I have had enough. To say this does not make a coward of a man when he has found his master."
"This won't do," insisted the Captain. "You must take back your insulting language."
Well, then, Captain, any man who calls you a coward is a damned har."
Leave out the 'damned,' said the Captain. "You know that swearing is prohibited on this ship. If there is any of it to be crew and the runners had attacked the Cap-tain and officers.
"There has been a mistake, Kennedy," the Captain said. "As you see, the crew is going ashore very peaceably."
"But what about the mutiny?" the Super-intendent interposed. "Shall I arrest the men?"
No, I would ship them to-morrow if I wanted a crew."
So ends the story of the mutiny.
The Postmaster Explained.
"Why do they call him a postmaster?" asked Rollo, as he came out of the postoffice. "Because," replied Rollo's father, "he never goes anywhere; always stays in one place, like a post."
And he stays there so well," added Rollo's uncle, "and is so hard to get out, that he is called the boss post, or the postmaster."
And frequently" resumed Rollo's father, "he is a stick, and hence-the term post is doubly appropriate."
And not infrequently," continued Rollo's uncle George, "he is knotty."
But when he is naughty he runs away, does he not!" asked Rollo.
Then," said Rollo's father, "having been found capable of motion, he ceases to be postmaster."
Unlike most posts," said Rollo's uncle George, "the postmaster will not always do to tie to. Sometimes the government loses all its money in his hands.
As how?" asked Rollo.
"It leaks out of the post hole," said Rollo's uncle.
Does the postmaster know a great deal?" inquired Rollo.
He is a man of letters," replied his father, "and in the smaller offices he is re-

"You know that swearing is prohibited on this ship. If there is any of it to be done, I claim the privilege. Now, down on your knees and holstone."
"Aye, aye, sir," and Finnegan dropped on his knees and worked like a Trojan.
It was a lovely day. All the emigrants were ordered on deck, and the space between decks was thoroughly cleansed and fumigated. Such a general overhauling it would do your heart good to see. At noon the wind backed to the southwest, and the ship was tacked to the westward. The yards flew around as though under magical influences.
The crew made up for lost time, and the Captain and officers treated them as though nothing had happened. At six bells they were called aft. "Now, men," said the Captain, "I think we understand each other."
"Make the punishment as light as possible," Captain, they implored.
"Whitehorne," the Captain replied, "give these men a glass of grog and set the watch."
Thereafter the ship was worked without any watch below. A smarter crew was never shipped. The old man's heart was softened when several of them voluntarily attended divine service on Sunday.
The Highland lights' hove in sight on a bright morning in August. A pilot was taken on board at daylight. Coffee had been served to the crew. The signal halyards had been reefed fore and aft with a will. The men breathed more freely. They had anticipated the signaling of the revenue cutter Harriet Lane. They were mustered in the forecastle, and the Captain joined them with the ship's articles. "Now, men," he said, "I have come to say a few words to you."
He reviewed his own life in the forecastle, and told them how he, like themselves, had been a prey to the sharks on shore, how, when a common sailor, he had been drugged, robbed, bought and sold. He begged them to assert their manhood, and to avoid the low sailor boarding houses and cramps. There was no reason why they should not become officers. He drew a pathetic picture of home life, and contrasted it to the dungeon which they had braved by their unbridled passions. "I freely forgive you for what has passed," he said, "and I beg that you will repent of your sins and pray to God to give you new life."
He made a short prayer, which drew tears to their eyes. "I leave with you the ship's articles," he added, "which you have signed. The marine laws are printed on their back. You will see the penalty for mutiny. I request that you will not leave the ship until her sails are furled, her foot ropes and rigging stopped up, and until she is moored to the dock. You shall receive what little pay is due you promptly. Try to lead better lives. By so doing you will convince me that my forbearance has taught you a lesson of repentance. If it has been the means of converting all or any of you I shall feel that this has been one of the most prosperous voyages of my life."
The Captain then left them. Within a short time Finnegan brought the articles aft, and thanked him for his forbearance, saying that the crew would do all that he requested, and try to be better men.
Hurters for Cut-Worms.
A San Diego correspondent of the Rural Press says: "I have noticed several inquiries as to how to keep cut-worms from destroying garden products. Some years ago I had a garden in which I had a great deal of trouble with cut-worms. I could not grow peas, beans, onions or cabbage plants, the worms were so bad. I tried several things to kill or drive them away, all without any good results. I finally dug up of some of the roots of the vine called the California mock orange or tyning." The roots, vine and fruit are very bitter. I pounded the roots up and put them in water to soak. After soaking one day I filled my watering pot and gave my cabbage bed a good sprinkling, and I was not troubled in that bed any more than season. Next season I tried the same on all my beds in which the worms were at work. In some cases I had to sprinkle some of the beds twice. I do not know whether the gourd, i.e., mock orange, killed the worms or drove them away. I have had no chance to try it myself since, however, I have given my experience to a few farmers who have tried the same and report to me perfect satisfaction."

At the lightship we were taken in tow by a tug. The sails were furled and squared. At 10 o'clock we arrived at quarantine. While here the news of the mutiny spread to the city. It ran like wildfire. Off the Battery were a hundred rowboats, ready to pick up the men who might try to desert by jumping overboard. The ship was berthed on the north side of the Canal street pier. The dock was crowded with runners and thieves, who detested the Captain because he had always stood between them and their prey. They were waiting to take a hand in the anticipated row. To their astonishment, it was the crew themselves who prevented them from coming on board. They jeered and scuffed at the crew for not coming ashore without liberty, saying: "The Captain must have licked hell out of the whole of you."
The crew stowed away the hawsers, swept the decks, and polished the brass work, paying no attention to the jeers. The Captain paid them off one by one in the cabin, giving each kind word. When everything was shipshape they gave Capt. Samuel three cheers, and sat down on the spars. The Captain came from the cabin. The men urged each other to make a speech. "I think, men," said the Captain, "I know what you want to say. Your actions speak louder than your words. I never had nor expect to have a better erew. I would trust any of you hereafter with my life. God has given me the privilege of teaching you a moral lesson. I know that it will make you better men. If any of you want to reship with me hereafter I shall be glad to take you."
"Three cheers for Captain Samuels and the wild boat of the Atlantic!"
They were given with a gunto. The men crowded around the Captain with uncovered heads and expressed their willingness to sail to the ends of the world with him. One enbusiasat said that he would sail to hell with him. The Captain chided him, and said he hoped that in his new departure on the voyage he would steer for a brighter and far better port. "I bid you good-by now, hoping that you will find your wives and families well."
With a "God bless you" the men letthe Dreadnaught. There was a commotion on the pier. Superintendent Kennedy had arrived with a platoon of police, and was clearing the docks. He had heard that the
A Lion Tamer Killed by Lionesses.
[From the London Telegraph, April 30.] A terrible accident took place the other day at Anxonne, by which one of the men connected with the managerio, which is now being exhibited there lost his life in a cruel manner. The unfortunate man was showing the wild beasts to some friends, and in passing before a cage containing a lion and two lionesses he had the imprudence to put one of his arms between the bars for the purpose of stroking the lion's mane. With a terrific bound the lioncases immediately sprang at the man's arm, in which they buried their claws, while the lion, by a single snap of his teeth, severed the arm clean from the shoulder. The unfortunate victim was taken away by another attendant, who was obliged to beat the beasts back into their cage with a three-pronged fork. The man died in hospital on Sunday morning in the most terrible pain.
A Novel Scheme.
SAN FRANCISCO, May 24.-The California delegates to at Republican National Convention at Chicago have adopted a plan to advertise the resources of the State and draw attention to the advantages California offers for immigrants. They have decided to make a display of California products at their headquarters at the Palmer House and to invite delegates to the convention from all parts of the United States to call and test the quality of California wines and fruits. A car will be provided especially to carry this fruit and wine. Many prominent viticulturists and horticulturists have already offered to supply abundant products of the State for this purpose.
Prison Life in England.
An English paper says that penal service is, as now carried out in England, a very dreadful punishment indeed. From the dock the convict is carried away in the prison van, and on his arrival at the jail the heavy gates are shut to, with a horrible sound, behind him. He is thrust into a narrow cell, there to remain without companionship for nine months. Scarcely ever hearing a human voice, save the wander's, fed on coarse food, his fate is sealed for thirty-six weeks, and after that he will probably be sent to another establishment where the discipline is somewhat less severe. The nine months' solitary confinement of a five-years' convict is rather hard to bear.
