Oar cap- tain was no Iwtter in tiib leipMk Oaa lus orew, for lie was aa illiterate as tiiej exeent in the matter of navigatlsn and as rongh and ontntored. He evidentiy lieUeved that Ilia ship was haunted, and tiiat a spirit from the vasty deep liad a mind to torment him by its interferences. Oj retiring to rest, at the end of his evening's watoli, bij slumbers were a'onsed by a lond and fear- f nl cry which seemed to enter the oaUn by the side-light which was left open for ven- tilation. The cry was h^ard by the second offioer, who was on the qoarter-deok, and by Chester who was at the wheel neither ef whom oould throw light npen the inci- dent to the oaptain, who had rashed on to the deck in a state of terror, and demanded in vain for the production of the offender. From that day it was clear to us all that Captain], PniUipa was tormented by appre- hensions of oming disaster. An idea was fixed in hisjnind tliat tiii ship was visited by a spirit from the invisible world, whs preferred to nuike itself heard rather than seen. And this Idea was strengthened by the fact that when he was on deck, and be- came angry at the conduct of any of the men especially when hia anger was made manifest in oaths and blows; the unseen bnt evervigilant visitor from afar would â€" perched apparently on the top of the main- mast â€" ^ntter the insolent laugh or the do- lorous warning. Oa these CO jasions the poor man would rush off to his oabin,wIth blanch- ed cheek and tottering limb, and there abide until the gale in his moral sensibilitias should subside. That it was angry with no one else but the capiain was clear, frem the fact that it never took any notice of the conduct of any other person. The mate or the boatswain might act as they liked, or the men jibe and ohafi each other no mat- ter â€" the voice vras not he^rdâ€" neither laugh nor ^noan fell upon our ears. But most of those who lived in the far^tcaatlo were far from being happy, many of them shared the ftars of the skipper and I saw tlioy would much rather have braved his wrat'i fchan be tormented as they were by the ' voices it the night" or the "day." Massif and Chester were exceptions. What his opin- ions were he would not say he met all my questions by adroit evasions. As for my- self, I had no explanation to give, neither had I any fear, for I ate, slept and worked t s well as before^ Thus matters went on until we were within two days' sail of the Islands. All the while our poor captain had been kept from tyranny by his fears of the voice bui now, exasperated by some fault m seaman- ship n the part of Chester, and being the worse for liquor, he hurled a belaying pin at him, which struck bim on the head. Clapping both hinds thereon, with a yell he rushed into the forecastle, it was evident the skipper expaoted to hear the voice, for ho looked nervously aloft bnt when all was sUent in that direction, his courage ro- tnrcsd, and ho dasired the second oflBsjr to call Cheater back to the deck. Getting no ani ;ver to hia call, the mai-e went below, whan he fcuad the po^r feilaw d3liii)U3. Returning to the dec-, he reported him to ba in a dangerous condition. This filled the captain with fiar. He ordered that every attantiou ahoald be paid him, which was dona. That night it besame necessary to have all hands on deck to raef, and while we wera on the yards an awful cry, like that of a maniac, arose from the baws of the vessel, and next moment several of us saw a human form on the rail near the fora-swiftor, and then a loud splash was heard in the water under our lee. The oaptain and chief offijers who were on deck rushed to the side, A hat was seen for a moment bobbing on the crest of a wave the maniacal scream was repaatod, when Captain Phillips, himaalf uttmcg a cry, fell senseless on the deck. The mate then hailed us who were on the topsail yard " Come down from aloft 1 clear away the small boat 1" We thoaght he was as near beside himself as was the oap- tain and so he was for the moment, for by the time we had gained the deck he was ready to countermand the order. Every- thing was awful beyond txpression, the wind and the water were raging wild it was impossible for a small boat to live in so rough a sea ao, making a virtue of ne- cessity, the search for the poor maddened fellow was abandoned, amid vows of ven- geance against the captain and tears for our lost mbssmate. Forty-eight hours after this we entered the port of Hilo. A vast change had come over the crew. The captain, knowing their peculiarities, had supplied them with money and copious libations of whiskey so, in- stead of reporting him to the Consul, as they had declared they would, they were reaay to shout his praises all day long. In this, however, I did not agree but unable to bring the tyrant to justioe single handed, I resolved to quit the Niger, I did so. After hiding in the woods several days, I was caught and brought back to the ship. As my adventures as a fugitive are not essential to the unfolding of my story, I pass them by, and tske up the thread of my narrative. Wo set sail on our return voyage. Cap- tain Phillips was an altered man. He ab- etted from spirits, he oontoolled his temper, ani this, with the addition of a fine steady breeze, made our lives on board happy. Bat. alas we were doomed to a sad undiDg-up of the voyage. Keephig too near the land, and a squaU laying hold on the ship, we were driven on a lee-shore. It was just aftar midnight when we struck, and the darkness was terrible. The shock aroused me from my. slumbers, and leaping out ef my hammo'I ran m deok. I cried out to my shipmates, bnt got no an- swer. It was not possible to "«* tiw after part of the vessel wliere fte Ute-Mts were kept, so, acting on the Impulse of the moment, I leapt into the sea. Catching hold of a friendly reck, I was saved. Daylight oame after a weary wait- ing. The first thing I saw was the dead body of poor Captain Phillips, and not far from itthat of our Chinese oook. The rest were We made our way to Portland, where we were paid o«f. Thenoe I prooeeded to Ssn Franoisoo.

Pjor Ches- ter, when with ns onr most intelligent ship- mate, seemed to be as much in the durk as the rest of ns, but he was not in the least put out of tiie way by the oeenrrenoes, though he foreshowed in others the super- natural idea. Strolling along the streets of Sua Franoisoo one night, about a year after the wreck, ready for anything in the way ef amusement that might tnm up, my eye caught a large poster which announced the wonderful doings ef Professor Meredith â€" " the nnrivalled and world-renowned ven- triloquist" •• This," thought I, " shaU be the sonros of my evening's enjoyment." Turning my face in the direction of the " Hall ef Ssienoe and Emporium of Amusement," I was soon seated in a snug comer of the lody of the buUding, and was not long in be- ing carried away by the wonderful sayings and doings of the Professor. At last he told ns that-he would hold an imaginary conversation with a person up the chimney. Ha did to. When in the midst of a dia- logue, the person up the fine gave a derisive "hah, hah, hah!" I was startled. I sprang from my seat. ** Surely," said I, half aloud, " that Is the voice, and tone, and words which more than once came from the maintop of the Niger." And while I was staring at the Professor, with eyes ready to leap out of their sockets, he came to the front of the stage to perform his part. Then, in spite of his flowins; beard and other decorations, I saw In Professor Meredith the identioal Jack Chester, who, over twelve months before, was believed to have leaped in a fife of madness into the sea, and was drowned. "Cheater!' I cried out, in my excite- ment. " Sit down " cried one " put him out," said some others. In the meanwhile I had come to myself, and resumed my seat, but not before I had get from the Professor a sign of recognition. When the performance was over, my old shipmate, for it was he, beckoned me to hfm, and taking me to his private room, he grasped my hand in all the fervency of dent friendship. " Sit down, Henry, my boy," he said, " and yeu shall have a so- lution of the mystery whloh hangs over me and the past." "How came you to be save! from a watery grave on that awful night when yon plunged into the raging sea " I impatiently aaked, "I did not jump overboard," replied Chester, laughing " neither was I any less sane than I am at this moment. The en- tire afialr was a trick of my own inven- tion to frighten! the captain, and then get away from his cluches. My madcess was a sham, and the man overboard was simply a bundle cf old togs, topped by my old hat, which I bad jast put together. The mo- ment I pitchea them over the rail I sllppad down into the fore-peak where I lay hid un- til the night after the ship estared the port, when I stole out and went on shore. 1 had taken care to lay up plenty of jank, and I managad to avoid detection undl the Niger sailed. The cries which you heud frcm the main-tup, from behind the long-boat, and in the cabin I need not now explain." "No," said I, "all is made clear by the doings of this night." "Exactly so," said he. And then he continued â€" " I had performed aa a ventrilo- quist in most large cities and towns in Europe before you knew me bnt beocmlng somewhat restless in my habits, and having tquandered all my earnings, in a fit of recklessness I took to the sea, and In the oapadty of a sulor found my way to Paget S3und, But I had net In me the stuff of which sidlors are made, so after my adven- tures on board the Niger I went back to my old profession, in which I have done well. My wild oats are all sown, I hope, and having learnt wisdom by bitter experi- ence, I shall stick to that line of life for which I have capacity a better thing thtm splicing old ropes, or taking in topsail reefs on a blowing night. " I should think so," I sdd "Bat you nearly killed the captain with fright, whilst' you caused us many a heartaohe at youi; i supposed loss. ' " For the latter I am vary swry, ' re-v turned Chester. " Bat I cannot say that I ^tled the oapti^. His cruelty 1 3 me was terrible, and he would possibly hsve end- ed by kUling me, but for my fortunate gift of ventriloquism.
