The agent was again blamed for persuad- | ing them to leave their homes in the High- | lands—to starve or drown them in the Atlantic,

A second deputation to the cabin was re- solved on, consisting of the same quorum who formerly waited on the Captain. This time the document did not contain as much Latin as formerly, and the agent was th: chief spukesman.

After this memorial had been presented words ran high between the Captain and our friend Sandy. The latter used defiant language, and even insulted the Captain to his face. Of course the Captain was beaten in the argument that tock place; but he was resolved to maintain his authority. He accordingly called the mate, who ap- proached with a pair of bandcuifs, aud slipped them upon the agent's wrists, but not without a hard struggle. The piper attempted to take the agent’s part, and be- gan laying about him im true Highland style; but ons or two of the watch being calied, he was quickly reduced to submis- sion. The agent was then conducted to his stateroom, where not only his hands but also his feet wore firmly secured in irons.

In this condition he was left to reflect on his conduct, and was fed on bread and water. But instead of learning wisdom by experience, and rendering due submission to authurity, he brooded over his fancied wrongs, and meditated a scheme of revenge which he earried out in due time.
