I must l” Taking a-n elegant gold watch
from his pocket be next called for the mate.
“Here, Mr. Seward,” said he, “take
this watch, and remember the fate of its ow-
her.”
The honest seaman declined the proffer-
ed kindness-—“I don’t want your watch
Captain \Varner,-—l have one ofmy own.”
“Oh take it,as the last rclicl of an unhap-
py man l” -
A tear glistened in the eye oftlie sailor,
at the melancholy condition of the captain.
“I have but a moment to stay,” continued
Capt. VVariier, “and may as well leave it
here ;”—-whereupon he laid the watch upon
the binnacle.
The mate and crew kept a sharp eye upon
the captain, whose movements caused them
to apprehend some further and sudden at-
tempt to plunge into the aliyss of waters.
But at this moment, it being past eleven
o’clock at night, their attention was startled
by a loud thunder-crash, and to their iiiex-
pressible consternation, the shadowy vessel
that had been chasing them, suddenly bla-
zed forth a ship of entire flame, the reflec-
tion of which gleamcd fearfully along the
water! And the cry of “A/10]/l Coins ON
BOARD,” was distinctly heard, proceeding
form the fire-ship, in the unearthly sound '
already mentioned. The poor Captain,
now writhing with the most horrible coiitor-
tions of body and conteiieiice, replied as
before, and a fiendish laugh was heard in
the distance. It now seemed impossible to
hold Captain VVarner longer upon deck,
and it was determined to confine him in the
cabin, into which he was tliurst accordingly,
and the doors barred. One oftlie hands,—
a vigilant and ordinary stout-hearted fol-
low-— was stationed below, to observe his
motions.
The fire-sliip now drew fearfully near.
The sea, lighted up by the reflection, rolled
and heaved like an ocean of liquid lire,
hissing and flashing as the liillows broke,
and at every plunge of the brig, while the
immaginations oftlie appalled mariners pic-
tured legions of fiery serpents darting
through the burning billows, rearing their
scaly crests, and throwing off sparks of
lurid flame. Noises of E1 frigiitful descrip-
tion, hoarse and discordant, also proceeded
from the ship—tlie flame by which its every
part continued to be clearly defined, now
assuming a bluish line. At length, as the
chronometer was on the point of indicating
the hour of'rwi~:t.vi-1, the same grating hide-
ous voice, in atone of stern importance cal-
led—"'l‘ni: noun HAS ARRlVED—COME on
BOARD !”
In an instant was heard from the cabin,
the words in reply——-“I COME-—I cons. !”
Then followed in a twinkling, the noise ofn
crash of windows, and a splash into the
water. In an instant, quick as the light-
ning’s glance, the fire-ship disappeared,
leaving the El Dorado in the gloom ofthat
undistinguisliable darkness which breodcd
over the face oftlie deep. A shrill piercing
cry of distress following the plunge into the
water, which was succeeded by a burst of
hai'sh,discordant, diabolical laughter, ming-
ling in the wind as it swept over the surge-—
and all was still. The cabin doors were
uribarred with trembling hands :-—but the
captain was not t/tare.
The man who had been stationed with
him below, reported that he continued to
walk the cabin with great agony and perter-
bation of manner for a few gninutes, when
he made the exclamation just repeated, and
turned suddenly about, sprang. from a sur-
prising distance through the cabin window,
carrying away the easement and all. The
lights were got out,and the boats let down ;
and every effort was made to discover the
captain, but in vain. Though repeatedly
called, no sound was heard in reply; one
the spectre fire-ship was seen no more.
The black clouds broke away soon after she
disappeared. The sea was hushed to ti
calm, and the moon arising, its silver beams
began playing upon the crispee and tossing
billows, now curling their foaming crests
beneath a gentle breeze, and sparkling like
a lake ofliquid light.
The command of the ship new devolved,
of course, upon Mr. Seward, and after a
long passagc,wiiliout farther incident, he
brought her safely into her port ofdestina-
tion, at Antigua". But it was an uncomfort-
able service, alike for the new captain and
his crew. It appeared that both ship and
cargo belonged to the deceased captain;
and the vessel had no sooner arrived in port
than she was abandoned——tlic mate himself
having doubts, which induced him to say
that “if the devil had so much power over
Captain VVaruer, he knew not how much he
might possess over his property, and he
would have nothing to do with it.”
The story of the captaiii,s fate and eftlic
Spectre Fire-Sliip was soon bruited about,
and never would seamen navigate the El
Dorado more. VV. L. S.

was colonized by the whites, this fishery was
carried on by the aboriginal lEll1:"il}L[t1l'l‘iS.-—
VVliales in large numbers fraqiicnted the
shoals by which the island is surrouiidcd,
and the natives with their bark canoes, and
bone liarpoons, pursued and took them.--
Tlie white settlers, imitated their example ;
and the fishery was, at first, carried on by
boats, and was confined to the adjacent wa-
ters. The whales were unable to witlistaiid
the arts and activity of their new enemies,
and at length deserted these shores. It then
became necessary to pursue them to their
new retreats.

One Fact-—A gentleman now here from
Georgia,is the owner of forty or fifty slaves.
They are employed in agriculture, and have
such tasks to perform that their day’s work
is usually accomplislied by one or two o’-
clock in the afternoon; after which, they
work on wages for their master, or other
persons, or do what else they please. They
had, however. become somewhat refractory,
and on a consideration of the whole matter,
their master determined before leaving home
for the North, to give them the ofl'er_oftlicir
freedom. This the laws of Georgia. forbid,
except on condition of leaving the State.

sold his slaves at $300 each ; that the slaves
who were offered their freedom by this one
gentlenian, were worth fully $15,000: -“ml
could have been sold for that sum but for
the sympathy of their master. Now, What
