They made no Bones about admitting that they meant to capture us and surly and. Defiant Over their rep also. They would1 not Ive us the name of the hark and even after she was out of sight they boasted that the would return soon to release them. At Sundown we got Tho Breeze Anil stood away on our course. That night during the Nate s watch tha pirates disappeared. All new where they went but no one asked any questions. The two boats contained ully two dozen of them and their loss must have sadly crippled the bark and changed her plans. About three years later than Tho Date Given at the opening of this sketch i shipped aboard of a British Shi p called the Swallow to Moke a voyage from Bombay up the persian Gulf and Back. She was an old Craft and a poor Sailer and her of twelve men was made up of four or five nationalities. I remember there were two Kanaka or Sandwich islanders one Lascar a negro or two and the others were american English and dutch. We had scarcely left Bombay when the Captain was taken sick with fever. His name was Aldrich and Hia wife who was a woman of thirty always sailed with him. She now took command in a general Way and this to the satisfaction of both mates though both were thorough sailors. I heard one of them say that she could take an observation or work a dead reckoning and i saw from Tho orders she gave that she knew All about a ship. We had Good weather and made Good Progress until after we were above Muscat gems in verse. Cell Icho i my i oct co ill to us in Alt Little thong Jet and no questions we Sot away nex homed and we had a Fine run coast to Capo Harikal from Jav Piui Laid our course to the had crossed the Gulf o which separated Tho Island of Cey Vitae Southern end of Ili Doostan wind fell to a Calm Ono evening air ill meat Long we rolled making the least pig Russ.

An soon As it was hut to boats were headed for us us All aft and announced Tii uhe stranger was a pirate who meant Tiro and destruction. She was a in paler usual bub spoke in a Low Isie Enuich and did not seem to be a i Inch tuned. She said it a Case we must fight for our lives. They mid Cut our throats if we surrendered cecum i o no More if to fought to the ii to accept it As a matter Elfo Irso that to would fight and she was a hand to Clear away the t that to boys of us brought up the loaded them distributed the a thalous to rail and then passed up tit Wil Cartridge for Tho big gun. Every to had Chen made ready for just such Fisher Ncncy. There were thirty solid shot and Twenty two loaded the Magazine is Well As about cartridges containing the proper of powder. As i afterwards 1, of l Hill Boon purchased at the it Arsenal in Madras. Wore As ready As we could be before pulled Anile from the bark.

The Gnu was Over the decks cleared of every iou and then we Wero ready. Mrs. J l u doubled barrelled English piece loaded with Buckshot. Sho Barest the Steru. The rest of bad muskets. I was pretty Ner t knowing what was at stake and she this and kindly coded me saying i tonsil take Good keep Cool and should surely beat Thorn off. She Taco fre Ucli boy Over and told him a othe others. They wore As Cool As if Tel i an my matter and i heard to the Cook that to was a follows would Back out. Tots Cato on to within half a mile t Juu stopped. Some sort of a jjp1 Ixl been run up on the s ouf location that we Wero ready for resist in. They could have seen fearing by Aid of tie Glass. There of about five minutes Camo a cheer As the boats moved Sweet looked Over at the his head sighted his Long moment applied Ujj. Thure might have been some Ahn it it though he was an old t his Shell struck the Eastern plumb on the bows exploded report and she was wiped ont y that we could not even see believe Thutt every Man was killed. This ought to Tho other but it did not pelted for As us fast As possible grape fired at her went in Tho Bay of Ormuz. Then one fore soon we got a Squall we Rich did not last fifteen minutes out which brought Down our fore and Ina to Gallant masts and carried away a sail or two. There was Only a Light Breeze after Tho Squall had passed and we Wero lying to Aud hard at work when an arabian dhow about two Hundred tons Burden Camo stealing Down the coast. We wore within four Miles of the Rocky and mountainous Shore but she was two Miles inside of us. Sho was no sooner made out than Tho first mate became very anxious and mrs. Aldrich was sent for to come on deck. She took a Good Loolu at the stranger through Thuc Glass and queried of the mate can we depend on the Crew to i Hope so to replied. Have them come All moved aft and i can remember through All Tho Long years just How she looked and every word she said. She had a worried anxious look arid no wonder and there was a trembling in her voice is she said men you know that your Captain is very sick. Yonder comes n pirate if there Ever was Ono. If he captures is those who live through Tho fight will go into the Interior As slaves or worse. If to Are All agreed to fight to can beat him off. What do you Well fight to the shouted one and the cry was taken up by All. Thank she fervently exclaimed. Give him n Brave fight and no one can be blamed if we Are Defeated. Sooner than fall into his hands i will blow the old ship Eky High and All of us with we had no Cannon but we had fifteen muskets a lob of cavalry sabers and tue Captain had not dodged about those Waters with his eyes shut. He had two or three years before purchased a dozen hand Gre Nades or stink pots such As Are used by the chinese. These Wero brought up with Tho rest and found to to fused and j n Good condition. They weighed about two pounds apiece and each was enclosed in a net to that it could be tossed quite a distance. We loaded our muskets took our stations and Wero is ready As to could be. The Cap Tain s wife alternated Between the deck and the Cabin. To was ont of Hia head which was the bettor for him As Sho had his revolver for use. The dhow sneaked along until nearly opposite us. All work had been suspended aloft and Sho must have known by this that we were ready for her but she nine on just the same. And no wonder. One of the men went aloft with the Glass and he made out two guns on her deck and a perfect swarm of men. She was doing a bold us aboard in Broad Daylight. She would not use her guns fearing that they would to Hoard and bring us assistance but if that mob Ever gained our decks we were gone. We Lay with on head to the Northwest so she would pass our port Quarter first. Here two of Tho strongest men Wero placed with the grenades and two of is with muskets were Between them. The others Wero placed to fro Over the Stern. Down came the dhow foot by foot with never a cheer from the crowd of cutthroats on her decks. There was a menace in their silence but it had no effect upon is. To were determined to fight and to fight to Tho last. I got the first shot and knocked Over a Man on her forecastle and then All began to Blaze away. Did not fire in return but forged up 01 on quarters and i could see fifty arabs. Each one with a Creaso crowding Agnir the rail to be Teady to Board. Now Molleu one of the sailors with Tho bombs and b the lighted the fuses and heaved away. Before we could Tell what damage had been done the dhow waa alongside. She threw her Grannel but did not eaten and Sho rubbed her length and went ahead. As we saw her failure we blazed away again with Tho muskets and every Ball found a Man. Sho sailed like a Witch and before she could be checked was a Cable s length ahead. She had just put her Helm Over when Thoro was an explosion followed by a great Sheet of flame and we saw that Shn was hard hit. Confusion reigned from Stem to Stern in and to added to it by peppering away at fair Range. All ablaze within five min utes Sho foil off headed for Shore and was run on a reef about a mile away. We saw Somo save themselves by boats Aud rafts being swept into the Shore by the tide but it was afterwards Learned that upward of forty five men were killed or crowned and that Tho loss of the dhow broke up a bad gang of pirates. Mrs. Ald Rich was on deck throng it All emptying Tho revolver into the crowd As the dhow passed us and when All was Over she Cut sown to Lier husband with face Only a Little whiter and Mouth More firmly set. No she came to thank is. Then Eho broke Down find cried like a Well just like a of an old mar Iner in Hartford con rant. My fiddle.

Sho was covered with figures so Large that had Sho been smaller not so much As a single one could have been crowded upon her yet which she displayed As fully As a conscientious sign Boito a could have done. There were those in the company who were not restrained by loftiness of her social position from remarking upon appearance and As she sailed across the room one of these persons said to her neighbor do look at mrs.
