THE PIRATE.

By Sir Walter Scott.

CHAPTER XXXIV. (Continued )

“ Well, said old Hawkins!” said Derrick the quarter-master, who was an offender of very considerable importance among these rovers; “‘I say, if the two captains won't agree to live together quietly, and club both heart and head to defend the vessel, why d—n me, depose them both, say I, and chouse an- other in their stead !”

‘‘Meaning yourself, I suppose, Master Quarter-Master!” said Jack Bunce; “‘ but that cock won't fight. He that is to command gentlemen, should be a gentleman himself, I think ; and I give my vote for Ce ~- Cleve- land, as spirited and as gentlem: & man as ever daffed the world asia, and bid it pass!”

‘* What ! you call yourself a ges tleman, I warrant !”’ retorted Derrick ; ‘‘ wh» —— your eyes ! a tailor would make a bette: vut of the worst suit of rags in your stroliing wardrobe ! —It is a shame for men of spirit tc have such a Jack-a-dandy scarecrow on boar’ !”

Jack Bunce was so incensed at these base comparisons, that, without more ado, he laid his hand on his sword. The carpenter, how- ever, and boatswain, interfered, the former brandishing his broad axe, and swearing he would put the skull of the first who should str.ke a blow past clouting, and the latter remainding thei, that, by their articles, all quarreling, striking, or more especially fighting on board, was stricrly prohibited ; and that, if any gentleman had a quarrel to settle, they were to go ashore, and decide it with cutlass and pistol in pro sence of two oftheir messmates.

‘*T have no equal with any one, — — —!” said Goffe, suddenly, ‘‘ Captain Clevelan has wandered about among the island here, amusing himself,--—---!and we have wasted our time and property in waiting for him, when we might have been adding twenty or thirty hanvend dollars to the stock-purse. However, if it pleases the rest of the gentle- men-adventurers, —-— — !why, I shail not grumble about it.”

‘I propose,” said the boatswain, ‘‘ that there saould be a general council called in the great cabin according to our articles, th it we may consider what course we are to nold in this matter,”

A general assent followed the boatswain’s proposal ; for every one found his own account in these generai couacils, in which each of the rovers had a free vote. By far the greater part of the crew only valued this franchise, as it allowed them, upon each solemn accasion an unlimited quantity of liquor—a_ right which. they fail not to exercise to the utter- most, by way of aiding their deliberations. But a few amongst the adventurers, who unit- ed some legree of judgment with the daring and profligate character of their profession, were wont, at such periods, to iimited them- selves within the hounds of comparative soberity, and by these, under the apparent form of a vote of the general council, all things of moment relating to the voyage and undertakings of the pirates were in fact

j undersigned, ROBERT BRIDGES, who is fully| determined. The rest of the crew, when they : authorized to give receipts therefor.

recovered from their intoxication, were easily persuaded that the resolution adopted had been the legitimate effort of the combined wisdom of the whole senate.

Upon the present occasion the debauch had proceeded until the greater part of the crew were, as usual, displaying inebriation in all its most brutal and Suassaaied shapes — swearing empty and unmeaning oaths— venting the most horrid impreca- tions in the mere gaity of their hearts—siug- ing songs, the ribaldry of which was only equalled by their profaneness ; and, from the middle of this earthly hell, the two captains, together with one or two of their principal erents, as also the carpenter and boat- swain, who always took a lead on such oc- casions, had drawn together into a pandemo- nium, or privy council of their own, to con- sider what was to be done; for, as the boat- swoin metaphorically observed, they were in a nariow channel, and behoved to keep sound- ing the tide-way.

When they began their consultations, the friends of Goffe remarked, to the‘r great dis- pleasure, that he had not observed the whole- some rule to which we have just alluded ; but that, in endeavoring todrown his mortifica- tion at the sudden appearance of Cleveland, and the reception he met with from the crew, the elder Captain had not been able to do so without overflowing his reason at the same time. His natural sullen taciturnity had pre- vented this from being observed until the council began its deliberations, when it proved impossible to hide it.

The first person who spoke was Cleveland, who said, that, se far from wishing the com- mand of the vessel, he desired no favor at any one’s hand, except to land him upon some is- land or hoim at a distance from Kirkwall, and leave him to shift for himself.

The boatswain remonstrated strongl against this resolution. ‘‘The lads,” he said, ‘all knew Cleveland, and could trust his sea- manship, as well as his courage; besides, he never let the grog get quite uppermost, and was always in proper trim, either to sail the ship, or fight the ship, whereby she was never without some one to keep her course when she was on boird.—And as for the noble Cap- tain Goffe,” continued the mediator, *‘ he is as stout a heart as ever broke biscuit, and that I will uphold him; but then when he has his grog aboard—I speak to his face—h2 is so d—d funny with his cranks and his jests, that there is no living with him. You all remem- ber how nigh he had run the ship on that cursed Horse of Copinsha, as they call it, just by way of frolic; and then you know how he fired off his pistol under the table, when we were at the great council, and shot Jack Jenkins in the knee, and cost the poor devil his log, with his pleasantry.” _ ?

“ Jack Jenkins was not a chip the worse, said the carpenter; “T took the leg off with my saw as well as any loblolly-boy in the land could have done—heated my broad-axc, and seared the stump—ay, by-—-! and made a jury-leg that he shambles about with as well as he ever did—for Jack could never cut a feather.”

“You are a clever fellow, carpenter,” re-

lied the boatswain, ‘‘a d—d clever fellow! but Ihad rather yeu tried your saw and red hot axe upon the ship's knee-timbers than on mine, sink me !—But that here is not the case —The question is, if we shall part with Ca tain Cleveland bere, who is a man of thought

and action, whereby it is my belief it would be heaving the pilot overboard when tke gale is blowing on a Jee-shore. And I must say, it is not the part of true heart to leave his mates, who have been here waiting for him till they have missed stays. Our water is well-nigh out, and we have junketed till provisions are .ow with us. We cannot sail withoat provisivas —~we cannot get provisions without the good- will of the Kirkwall folks. If we remain here longer, the Halcyon frigate will be dewn upon us—she was seen off Peterhead two days since—and we shall hang up at the yard-arm to Se sun-dried. Now, Captain Cleveland wilt get us out of the hobble, if anycan. He can play the gentleman with these Kirkwall folks, and knows how to deal with them on aa aa and foul, too, it chere be occasion or it.”

*‘And so you would turn honest Captain Goffe a-grazing, would ye?” said an old weather-beaten pirate, who had but one eye;

‘* what though be has his humors, aud made my eye dowse the glim in his fancies and frolics, he is as honest aman as ever walked a quarter-deck, for all that ; and d— me but : ay by him so long as t’other lantern is it !

‘Why, you would not hear me out,” said

Hawkins; “‘a man might as well ta!lr to so

many nagers—I tell you, I propose that

Cleveland shall only be Captain from one,

p- m., to five, a. m., during which time Goffe

is always drunk.”

(To be continued.) LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.

The Question of Gbedience to God's Commands. "

Srr,-—-The writer of the letter headed ‘*Condemned and Forbidden of God,” in your issue of the 16th inst., has done well to call the attention of Tae Examiner's readers to the obedience due from the creature to the Creator, but he might have gone alittle further, as he could have in- cluded nearly all Christiandom in the sin of differing from what is commanded in the Sacred Writings.

His Hebraistic exposition on the question of doing what is Biblically condemned, might have included what is not done when Biblecally enjoined. Disobedience is more grievous in a saint than 4 sinner, and jt is evident that al! have sinned in this re- spect, and come short of the glory of a true faith in God’s Holy Word. For example, take the . 1 do not wish to re- fer to the Ninth Commandment, though a strong case in point, as it might seem per- sonal to the learned letter writer on Spirit- ualism, who seems to have a full share of zea! for God, though net altogether accord- ing to knowledge, for from what he writes he seems to know but little more of the in- side of the ism he is trying to demolish than Baalam’s four footed friend who also spoke his mind freely. It is the Fourth Com- mandment I would refer io (and brevity must be the reason for omitt ng other re- ferences) than which nothing can be clearer nor stronger in point of language, (particu- larly in the Hebrew original) and yet this exact and comprehensive law, ordained by God from the creation, is set aside for a mere tradition, and wholly ignored (for Holiness) and what is more, converted into a day of extra work, for washing up gene- rally, or turned into a rollicking holiday for various excesses.

As to demolishing Spiritualism, if it be of God it will prosper, and if not it will come to naught of itself without assistance. Writing in the papers about its delusions only tends to increase the number of the deluded, as it immediately leads te investi- gation, which generally results in belief in its claims, or so it seems to a

Population of Great Britain.

The official returns show the natural in- crease in the population of England and Wales in 1887 to be 355,440, or 11,000 less than the increase in 1887, Emigration also increase in 1887; s0 that the popula- tion has not grown as largerly as might have bees expected. In 1887 the popula- tions ofthe kingdoms were: England and Wales, 37,091,564; ireland, 4,862,914; and Scotland, 3,661,499. The figures are impressive enough, however, to draw from Professor Huxley a serious article on the ‘““struggle for: existence,” in which he urges the spread of technical education to enable these millions of people to support themselves under the keener competition which is every year being more strongly felt. It may ease the worthy theorists mind to know that we have still lots of room and welcome for numerous sons of England, [reland and Scotland in this proportion of the British dominions.
