' It wa* just such « sight as a Bailor laves—a night of comparative peace, a soft breeze, and theland an Indefinite number of miles on the weather-bow. Our vessel was as tidy a little craft as auy in tbe royal navy, and that is no small boast either. Her name was (he “May Bee,” and m a y be she wasn’t a saucy one; when we fought, we always won; and I think, too, had we run away, we should have won the race, also; at auy rate, in the chase, tbe slaver never bad a ghost o f a chance that we drew a bee-line upon. Our cruise was the Indian Ocean, ita length and breadth, from tbe cold waveB o f the far whuth, to Aden in the sunny north. Well, on the present occasion, we were rafher short o f hands, and o f heads, too, if offi cers may be regard as such: for three of our boats were away on particular service and a9 our engineer was on the sick-list, the fires went out, sails set, and an unusual quiet reigned throughout the ship. It was past 11 o’clock, and our commander had turned in. I could hear him snoring through the bulk head, for his cabin, was right abaft of our little ward-room, although in no Way con nected therewith. My cabin waa the only one of those off the ward-room at present occu pied, the only other officer on board—saving the engineer—being the asslstant-paymaster, whose cabin was outside in the Steerage. Into the further end of tbe steerage led the companion-ladder, so that, in our passage to snd ffood the ward-room to the deck, we had to cross it. I was standing in i^y little box like sanctum, preparing to g* .to bed, when the noise of approaching. footsteps in the steerage attracted my attention. Imagining that some one was sick, I hast ily threw on my coat, and emerged again into the ward-room, jnst as Mr. Travers, our aasistint-paymasterj entered by the other door. He hejd right in front of him, so as to be hidden from any one behind, a drawn cutlass, which1 from signs aud motions be made, I understood he mcaDt me to take charge of-and conceal. I quickly did so behind my cabin certain, and bad scarcely accomplished the/task, when Mr. WheeleC, tbe engineer, stopd in the doorway; and tbe asslstant-paymaster, after pretending to borrow a caiidle, bade me good-night and retired. j How, aa I said before, Mr. Wheeler.was on the sick-list, and had .hceu for Weeks. Bis disease was oue o f the worst forms of alcoholic mania ; iu other wordd, a bad ease of delirium tremens. From one .attack he had only re cently recovered, being snatched from the very jaws of death. His delusions had .been many; but principally he bad the idea that a conspiracy waa afoot on board, having for ita object the bawassing of him, Mr. Wheeler, in evejy way, and the final abduction of his body, tbe binding of tbe same, hands and feet, and the delivering of it to the deep, to afford food to the sharks. He used to sit for hours in his .little mess-room, armed with a knife, yet trembling like a new-born fawn at the slightest noise. Every one, saving myself, he had deemed a foe. The drops o f water leak ing in through the stsupper-holes were water dashed upon him by the maliciousness of the boy*.; the curtain waving gently to nnd fro with ’ the ship’s motion, was stirred by tlie hand of a hidden assassin, The captain him self, he had averred, was preparing the ham mock into which his living body was to he sewed before he wa9 thrown overboard. Then rows o f pale beingsriiad arranged them* selves on the opposite side of his room, point ing and gibbeting at him, and spouting blood on him; the port opened, and slimy serpents glided in and hid themselves in the apartment or about hia dress; his legs would suddenly he clasped as in a vice, and looking flown, behold an alligator, with a strange, strange face, crouched , beneath the table, embracing him in ita horrid arms, blowing its fetic breath in his face, pad using fearful threats of death and judgment! Repeated blows with the knife at length dispelled this demon; and then myraida of horrible insects came trooping up overithe table, and covered the bulkheads all around; and “ Seel” he had cried to me,, “didn’t I see them oa deck, springing up %> jets of water, and flowing away in streams, those white; thick Worms!’’ and aow tbejr were on Mm , guaWifig hia fleali, eating tiUf ▼ittlk ' 1 \ “Qotruptlon I corruption t—mslibund! nto- shouted, and fed down in o n i’af IfeW r a lof fits I ever bad the pain to Wit- ’from this fit ho had glided Impercepti bly tato a state o f IpthMgy, from which, after many Weary o f watching, I had m m him awake; wtihpale toti j i t tering eye, jnst as he now stood n tbe ward room before me. ’ ,<> * . “What I aald I,, “not in fed yet, old tol* . “Buih Ijffle whiijpered ‘^fed by tho very loqkVd g ^ u r^ 'l WW plainly that tbe mad ness was on him again. “Hgitil” snd as he spoke he pointed to the steerage; ‘‘There they are, there, and—ugh I—it’s all so dark—dark and dreary. I could not lie dp jmyi be^thj forward—they would kill me; and, Travers, stole my cutlass, that I might not defend my- ‘ ' “£pme,.”. said I, “my good fellow, never mind them. I’ll protect yon, and: fight for you, if need be, to the last. Come forward with me and turn into your cot.” “Nay, nay,” he whispered impeluousfly, at the same time holding me hack ; “not now, not now, doctor; wait till the blessed sun rises. In the dark I could not wrestle with them, and it will be so very long till morning. Will It burn ?” pointing to ihe lamp in my cabin. I nodded assurance; and then he pleaded with such eloqiiencd to be allowed to remain near the light; and to sleep before my cabin door, tbat I at last Consented, and spreading a mat and pillow, for him, bade him U» down. Ho did so, and before morning I had eveiy reason to repentof my kindness. He then re quested me to place beside him a loaded revolver, or at least a bayonet or cutlass, which, having no ambition for a madman to mount guard on ine, 1 peremptorily refused. An hour slipped away, during' whhih time he lay quite peacefully on the mat, sometimes closing his eyes, blit only to immediately re open them, and gaze furtively and fearfully away out into the darkness of the steerage, as if momentarily expecting the attack of an un seen foe. All was by this time quiet, both fore and aft, in the ship, for it must have been long past midnight I t e .tramp, tramp pf the quarter master overhead had stopped; even the cock roaches, after a sapper of corks,, biscuit, port wine and blacking, had gone to roost,’ and the commander had ceased to snore,{from which 1 argued be had fallen into his secondand deep est sleep. So there wasn’t a sound to be heard, except the'1 creaking of the rudder hinges, or fhe plash of the wavelets as they rippled past my cabin—a sound ■hat t had so often wooed me tofileepless, dreamless slumber, and’ seemed even now inviting me to rest.— Thinking it' my duty to remain on watch hoWever, I Iliad not turned in. but sat on a chair beside my little cot Writing letters home. Presently “Doctor,” said my patient. . “I thought you had been asleep,” I an swered; “What can I do for you ?” “Give me a Prayer-book, there’s a good fel low, ” he said, ‘ ‘and I won’t disturb you again. ” “I would, Wheeler, if I had one,’’replied I; “but you know I’ve the misfortune to have been born Scotch and Presbyterian; hut here is a lible;” and I handed him thebook of books. He .took it, aud thanked me, and I went on with my writing. I was so much preoccupied, however, as not - to perceive that he thride opened the book, read Very attentively, ahd betwen each time he prayed—silently, indeed, but so earnestly tbat the drops o f perspiration stood ih beads upon his pale brow. This brow o f his, loo, whs a very noble one ;1ndeed, he was, when well, not only a manly,- good* hearted fellow, hut a wise and well-educated gentleman. Thinking tbat his present frame of mind augured nothing bat good, and that there could hot possibly be any danger to him- self or me—moreover, feeling tired, I closed nip portfolio, and- without undressing, threW myself on my bed; with the tatebtlottof snatch ing a fow hours’ repose, if not Sleep. I should here mention that I had, only the day previous, purchased from the ship’s stores large clasp* knife, such - as sailors usually carry. This knife I had loft lying on my little table among the books and other articles. I could hot have been long in bed till I fell asleep, the last thing I remember being groans proceeding from the mah in front of my door. 1 am a very light sleeper;' and used th have continual rows witlrmy servant for shaking me in ihe morning, telling him that all he. had to do In order to wake me Was to my cabin, and wink once oftwicei I slept I cannot' say; I believe/ been fully an hour; open my eyes, lm all my life.
