TWO NANCY LEES.
In the month of July, 1857, I ran away
from a. British ship which entered the port
of Madras. I was a boy of 14, a runaway
' to sea, and captain and mates had done
their very best to take the romance out of
me. They had succeeded so well that I
slipped ashore determined to die. of starva—
tion before I would return to a life on the
deep. No effort was put forth to capture
me, and two weeks later, when I sat in the
shade of a wall one day hungry and penni-
less and ready to give up, an English
woman halted before me and began to
question me. She was a small, slim woman
about forty years of age, quick of speech
and movement, and I got the idea at once
that she was a sea captain’s wife. I was
not far out, as she proved to be a sea cap-
tain’s widow, and was in command ‘3 a
brig trading with the east coast of Orion.
She happened to be in want of another
hand, and after being told what I could do
she made a proposition that I accepted.
I found the brig to be called the Orient.
She was small, but‘almost new, and a
rapid sailer. The crew consisted of an
English mate, two Norwegians, a French
boy who had run from his ship, and my-
self. Mrs. Sweet, the captain, stood her
watch, and this gave the mate himself, a
man and a boy in his watch, while she
had a man-and a boy only, though the
cook had to turn out in her watch if re-
quired. The latter "was a full blooded
negro, big and powerful, and sailor enough
to steer or go aloft, Mrs. Sweet, as all
agreed, being able to navigate the brig
anywhere, and being thoroughly posted in
every detail Of the ship’s work.
I saw on the brig’s deck, almost as‘ soon
as I set foot aboard, a nine pounder mount-
ed on a carriage, and later on I ascertained
that she carried a supply of small arms,
but I gave the matter little thought and
asked no questions. We got away next
day after I joined, and we had a fine run
down the coast to Cape Karikal, from
which point we laid our course to the
southeast. We had crossed the gulf of
Mancar, which separates the island of Cey-
ion from the southern end of Hindoostan,
when the wind fell to a calm one evening
at 8 o’clock, andeall night long we rolled
about without making the least progress.
Next morning there was a heavy mist on
the water until after sunrise, and it gradu-
ally bnrned away without bringing the
breeze we hoped for. -
When the horizon was clear we sawa
bark rigged craft of three times our size
lying about three miles north of us. She
had come down on the last Of the wind,
probably bound through the straits, and
the currents had set to’thc eastward dur-
‘ ing the night. Those were suspicious days,
' but the bark looked to be an honest En-
glishrr, iv“, and we gave her no attention
until about midafternoon. Then the
4 French boy, who was aloft, reported that
she had lowered two boats. The 'glass was
sent up to him, and he soon made out that
~ the boats were being manned by armed
men, and dark skinned fellows at that.
This looked as if the bark had fallen into
piratical hands, for no trader could have
' any honest purpose in arming his boats.
They took their time about it, and final-
ly headed in our direction. Had there
been any wind they would doubtless have
tried to lay us aboard. As soon as it was
seen that the boats were headed for us
Mrs. Sweet called us all aft and announced
that the stranger was a pirate who meant
our capture and destruction. She was a
little paler than usual, but spoke in a low
and even voice, and did not seem to be a
bit frightened. She said it was a case
where we must fight for our‘ lives. They
would cut our throats if we surrendered,
and cduld do no more if we fought to the
last. She seemed to accept it as a matter
of course that We would fight, and she was
the first to lend a hand to clear away the
gun. The two boys Of us brought up the
muskets and loaded them, distributed the
pikesalong the rail. and then passed up
shot and cartridge for the big gun. Every—
thing had been made ready for just such
an emergency. There were thirty solid
nine pound shot and twenty-two loaded
shell inthe magazine,,as well as about]
thirty cartridges containing the proper
quantity of powder. As I afterward
learned, all had been purchased at the
government arsenal in Madras.
We were as ready as we could be before
the boats were pulled amile from the bark.
The mate loaded the gun with a shell, and
» placed two others and several stands of
grape near at hand. Our brig lay broad-
side to the north, headed to the east. The
boats must therefore pull bow on to us un-
til close at hand, even if the plan was to
separate and board from different points.

wheeled over, the decks cleared Of Mary
obstruction, and thénuve were ready. Mrs.
Swept had a doubled barreled English
fowling piece loaded with buckshot. She
was nearest the stern. The rest of us had
government muskets. I was pretty ner-
vous, knowing what was at stake, and she
noticed this, and kindly chided me, saying
that I must take good aim, keep cool, and
that We should surely beat them off. She
' called the French boy over and told him
the same, "but there was no need of speak-
ing to the others. They were as cool as if
it were an every day matter, and I heard
the mate say to the cook that he was
afraid the fellows Would back out.
The boats came on to within half a mile
of us and then stopped. Some sort of a
signal had been run up on the bark—prob-
ably a notification that we were ready for
astout resistance. They could have seen
us preparing by aid of the glass. There
was a consultation of about five minutes,
andIthen came a-cheer as the boats moved
forwaod. Mrs. Sweet looked over at the
mate, and he nodded his head; sighted his
'gun, and after a long moment applied

of us banged away, and we hit somebody
at almost every shot. The boat came on,
however, the wounded cursing and the un-
harmed cheering, and was within 150 feet
of our side when the nine pounder roared
again. She had fired a -shell plump into
the boat. It had acted as a solid_ shot and
gone through her, killing and wounding
and smashing, and when the smoke blew
away only three men were swimming away
on the surface. These we ordered aboard
and made secure at once. The bark dropped
another boat, but after coming half way
it returned. About noon she got a rifile‘of
wind which did not reach us, and made ofl‘
to the west to be seen no more. .
When we came to question the prison
ers, who were lusty looking out throats, we
found that they belonged to the Maldive
islands, around in the Indian ocean. They
made no bones about admitting that they
meant to capture us. and were surly and
defiant over their repulse. They would‘ not
give us the name of the bark, and even
after she was out of sight they boasted that
she would return soon to release them. At
sundown we got the breeze and stood away
on our course. That night, during the
mate’s watch, the pirates disappeared. All
knew where they went, but no one asked
any questions. The two boats contained
fully two dozen Of them, and their loss
must have sadly crippled the bark and
changed her plans.

shipped aboard of a British ship called the
Swallow to makea voyage from Bombay
up the Persian gulf and back. She was
an old craft and a poor sailor, and her
crew of twelve men wan; made up of four
or five nationalities. I remember there
were two Kanakas or Sandwich islanders,
one Lascar, a negro or two, and the others
were American, English and Dutch. We
had scarcely left Bombay when the captain
was taken sick with fever. His name was
Aldrich, and his wife, who was a woman
of thirty, always sailed with him. She
now took command in a general way, and
this to the satisfaction of both mates,
heard one of them say that she could take
anobservation or work a dead reckoning,
and I saw from the orders she gave that
she knew all about a ship.
We had good weather and made good
progress until after we were above Muscat,
in the Bay of Ormuz. Then one forenoon
we got a squall which did not last fifteen
minutes, but which brought down our
fore and man-'to’ gallant masts and carried
away a sail or two. There was only a light
breeze after the squall had passed, and we
were lying to and hard at work, when an
Arabian dhow of about two hundred tons
burden came stealing down the coast. We
were within four miles of the rocky and
mountainous shore, but she was two miles
inside of us. She was no sooner made out
than the first mate became veryanxious,
and Mrs. Aldrich was sent for to come on
deck.’ She toOk a good look at tbe‘stranger
through the glass and queried of the mate:
“Can we depend on the crew to fight?”
“I hope so, ma’am," he replied.
“Have them come aft.” ,
All moved 'aft, and I can remember
through all the long years just how she
looked and every word she said. She had
‘a worried, anxious look. and no wonder,
and there was a trembling in her voice as
she said:
“Men, you know that your captain is
very sick. Yonder comes a pirate, if there
ever was one. If he captures us those who
live through the fight will go into the in-
terior as slaves or worse. If we are all
agreed to fight we can beat him OE. What
do you say?” =
“We’ll fight to the last!” shouted one,
and the cry was taken up by all.
“Thank, God!” she fervently exclaimed.
“Give him a brave fight and no one can be
blamed if we are defeated. Sooner than
fall into his hands I will blow the old ship
' skyhigh and all of us with her.”
We had no cannon, but we had fifteen
muskets, a lot of cavalry sabers, and the
captain had not dodged about thow waters
with his eyes shut. He had two or three
years before purchased a dozen hand gre-
nades or stink pots, such as are used by the
Chinese. Tllesc were brought up with the
rest and found to be fused andjn good con-
dition. They weighed about two pounds
apiece and each was inclosed in a. net, so
that it could be tossed quite a distance. We
loaded our muskets, took our stations and
were as ready as we could be. The cap-
tain’s wife alternated between the deck
and the cabin. He was out of his head,
which was the better for him, as she had
his revolver for use.
The dhow sneaked along until nearly op-
posite us. All work had been suspended
aloft, and oshe must have known by this
that we were ready for her; but she came
on just. the same. And no wonder. One
of the men went aloft with the glass, and
he made out two guns on her deck and a
perfect swarm of men. She was doing
a bold thing—run us aboard in broad
daylight. She would not use her guns,
_ fearing that they would be heard and
bring us assistance; but if that mob ever
gained our decks we were gone. We lay
with our head to the northwest, so she
would pass our port quarter first. Here
two of the strongest men were placed with
the grenades, and two of us with'musléets
were between them. ., The others were
placed to fire over the stern.
Down came the dhow, foot by foot, with
never a cheer from the crowd of cutthroat:
O_:__l_ her decks. Therewasumenace in their
silence, but it had no effect upon us. We
were determined to fight. and to fight to
the last. I got the first shot, and knocked
over a man on her forecastle, and then all
began to blaze away. She did not fire in
return, but forged up on our quarters, and
.I could see fifty Arabs, each one with a
crease, crowding against the rail to be
ready to board.
“Now, heave'!” yelled one of the sailors
with the bombs, and both lighted the fuses
and-heaved away. '
Before we could tell what damage had
been done the dhow was alongside. She
threw her grapnel, but did net catch, and
she rubbed her whole length and went
ahead. As we saw her failure we blazed
away again with the ' muskets, and every
ball found a man. She sailed like a witch,
and before she could be checked was a
cable’s length ahead. She had just pm he:

the “(hole Village Took a Hand in
Solving the Problem—A Daylight Search.
“Out to the Red .Lion” is a favorite trip
for New Brunswick sporting and driving
men, and the Old tavern which has stood
four miles out on the Trenton pike ever
since the old coaching days is also a. wet
day resort for the farmers of New Bruns-
wick township, and in the quaint old par-
lor you may gather all the social and o-
litical gossip of the country side, an so
long as lockjaw is not a rural epidemic you
can also hear many a hair stifiening legend
or side splitting joke revived under the in-
fluence of good company and good cheer.
Monday afternoon a. goodly crowd was
assembled, when a n‘ewcomer said:
“Wasn’t the Trenton pike ghost located .
somewhere out here?”
“Oh, yes,” replied Landlord J. Holmer
Bergen, “theplace was close by here, and
the ghost is closer by now."
“I don’t see anybody here that looks at
all ghostly. What do you suppOse you
mean?”
“There he is, sir. The only true and
genuine ghost in North Brunswick town-
ship,” aud Mr. Bergen pointed to a small,
modest looking gentleman who was smok-
ing with his chair tilted back against the
window. “That is the retired ghost. Let
him speak for himself.”
THE STORY.
"What! Freeman Ayres?” almost shout-
ed half a dozen younger members of the
group, while the Older men chuckled aud-
ibly, saying: _
“Oh, yes! I remember all aboutit now.
Tell us the story, Freeman. for the benefit
of the boys.” .
After being a little further impOrtuned
Mr. Ayres lighted a fresh cigar and pro-
ceeded:
- “It was in the summer of 1868 or 1869,
I’m not sure which, that this thing hap-
pened. Frank Tracy kept this house here,
and the big frame cottage down yonder on
the left as you go to New Brunswick was
owned by another man named. Tracy, who
lived in New York. The house was empty,
and Frank, who looked after it, had a lot
of cats stored in one of theparlors. At
that time I was a young fellow, working
on the dam at Parson’s snuff mill, and
went past here to and from home.
“Frank Tracy had a. chore darky he
called Mose, and one morning early, as I
was going to work, I saw Mose coming
down from the hotel with a bag for oats.
Something put it into my head to give the
darky a scare, and I slipped into the cot
tage, which was open at the back, and
went up stairs.
“Mose came into the parlor whistling
cheerfully and began filling his bag. I let
out a groan like a sick cider mill.
“ ‘Wh—wh—who’s dah?’ I heard Mose
exclaim in a. kind of awe struck Whisper.
"He evidently listened a little bit, and
then went on filling his bag. I let out
another two horse groan and brought one
foot down on the floor like a pile driver.
SCARING run NEGRO.
“ ‘W-w-a-u-gh! O-o-o-hl’ yowled-Mose as
he flew through the door, fell over the yard
fence and flew up the road, yelling at
every jump till he fell on the hotel porch,
and all Frank Tracy could get out of him
was:
“ ‘Ghosesl Oh, Lordy, Massa Frank,
ghosesl De Lord have mussy on dis pore
niggahl Ghosesl’
“A bucket of water and a tumbler of
liquor brought him around so that he was
able to tell how a ghost seventeen feet
high, carrying its head on a pitchfork, had
warned him for stealing oats; that the legs
had kicked him out and the hands had
triedito knock his brains out with the head
on the pitchfork, and a. lot more of it.
“Frank Tracy, of course, took no stock
in theghost. , L
“The next mOrning I was in the cottage
again, but Mose never showed up until
broad daylight, and Tracy threatened to
thrash him because the horses; were not
fed. At length Isaw Mose coming down
the road like a scared colt, while Frank
and another man stood in the road at the
hotel watching him. I let Mose fill his bag,
and then I began my racket. Of course
Mose fled, but held on to his bag. He went
up the road on the full yell. I tell you I
thought I was having lots of fun, and so I
did as long as it lasted. When Ilooked
out I saw Frank Tracy and a lot of the
neighbors coming full tilt for the house.
”In' three minutes they were all around
the place, and more were coming. I never
saw a crowd gather so quick in all my life.
[didn’t like the looks of the thing at all.
I could not get out, and besides I did not
want to get out into that crowd, for I knew
there were a good many of them who
didn’t like to be fooled. It was the ghost
that was scared now. When they came
nosing in down stairs I skipped up into the
garret, which was only a cockloft. I
groaned and made a little row occasionally,
and when I did they would scoot outside.
THE GHOST CAPTURED.
“Then the stage from New Brunswick
came, and all the passengers got out to
help hunt the ghost. Frank Brower, from
Franklin Park, came over with a squirrel
rifle, a big knife and a huge bloodhound.
Finding the fellows fled every time I
groaned, I ventured down into the second
story and found a lot of wallpaper that
had come off from the dampness. I
wrapped it around me and paraded in front
of the windows. ,
“ ‘Therel Look! There it isl’ shouted
Squire Tom Pearce. ‘It’s got on a striped
shroud. It’s the ghost of some convict.’
“George Brown took a crack at me with
his rifle and I fled to the cockloft again.
I’ll bet there never was a sure enough
ghost that wanted to get out of the busi-
ness any worse than I did.
“They organized a stormin party, and
Fred Van Deursen voluntee to go into
the cockloft. It was not - floored, and the
first thing he did was to break through the
plaster and nearly break his neck. I gave
a groan and theaterming party 'fled. Fred
Van Deursen'was no coward, however, and
after he had rubbed his scratched shins
and talked a little he swore he wouldihave
asightoi‘. that ghost or know why he didn’t.
In looking around he saw there was a scut-
tle on the roof. He came up again boldly.

’ FEEDING SMUTTY CORN.
‘What It Has Done to Valuable Live Stock
in Tennessee.
Near N 'ew Middleton considerable corn
was gathered that had rotted on the
stalk; some of the corn had considerable
smut. This corn has been fed to horses,
cattle and hogs. W. B. Denny recently
lost a horse; James Enoch also lost a
horse; Lewis Allen had a horse to
die, and the Widow Pruitt lost one also.
Several other horses died quite recently
in that neighborhood. Post mortem
examinations were made in four cases,
the result showing death to be caused by
. rotted and smutty corn.
' Mr. Gibbs, living about a mile on the
south side of the river, has a fine colt
sick, the result of feeding smutty corn,
so supposed. James Davis has a fine
mare that he expects to lose any minute;
she has been fed on rotted and smutty
corn.
These cases were investigated by our
i informant, and nearly every animal had
i been kept up and fed on com, the own-
j ers not having in most instances any
i bluegrass .pasturage, which acts as a
j purge. The lungs of each animal dis-
' seated were completely stopped up.
J. E. Walker, a veterinary surgeon of
Alexandria, sold recently a fine mare for
MO, the animal to be delivered the next
day. The morning following the mare
was given two cars of rotted corn by a
colored man who had her in charge. She
died in about two hours afterward with
spasmodic colic. Mr. Walker is satisfied
the corn killed her.
Alexander Thompson, living on Buf-
falo creek, lost a horse last Saturday-
morning. Mr. Bailey, our informant of
the above, states that considerable smut-
. ty and rotted corn was gathered in his
neighborhood, and that his own mules,
which had been fed a little of the corn,
are afflicted with bad coughs, resembling
distemper.—Smith County. (Tenn.) Ree-

The English Shire Horse.
Perhaps a majority of the valuable
horses imported into this country go to
the west and northwest, how of all
kinds, saddle, coach and draft. Also
the country is beginning to look to the
far west for its best trotting and turf
animals.
We present this week an illustration
of the Shire horse, belonging to a breed
not yet thoroughly known in the United
States, but wherever known very popu-
laras being able to draw immense loads.
mron'rnn ENGLISH sums: MARE.
This beautiful, docile and intelligent
Shire mare is owned in Colorado. The
breed represents probably the strongest
animals known in the annals of horse-
flesh. A Shire will pull alone up an in—
cline a load that will stagger a pair of
our ordinary American horses. Shire
horses are of immense size and weight;
slow, as mustbethe case where such
ponderous bodies are to be moved, but
steady and sure. They are to be seen in
perfection on the Liverpool docks and
hauling the". tremendous trucks that
transfer freight in London.
The many millioned Duke of West-
minster, in England, has been for years
the enthusiastic patron of the great
Shire horse, breeding it for size and
strength.
Cure for Bone Spavin.
R. G. A. writes to The Rural New
Yorker:
Take soft soap and stir it full of fine
salt and put it in the spavin twice a day,
rubbing it well until it becomes sore,
then wash it with castile soap and water
untilit is thoroughly healed; then use
the soap and salt until sore again; then
wash and keep on doing so until it is
healed without a bunch. It will take
time—from four to six months. Driving
will not hurt the horse at the time of
using the application. I have been using
this on my horse now three months, and
the bunch is growing smaller all the
time and the horse is not so lame as it
was. There have been horses cured en-
tirely, or I should not have recommend-
ed it. '
Points of Interest.
Salt all your live stock at least once a
week. Milk cows ought to have large
pieces of rock salt near their watering
troughs, where they can lick it when
they feel like it.
In Europe it is the general impression
that sheep cannot be raised unless root
crops, such as turnips, carrots, etc., are
cultivated for them. But in this coun-
try of high priced work and labor sav-
ing devices, it has been found that sheep
thrive quite as well on ensilage, thus

'4 I A" -M“OD‘EI§TW CHURCH.
Plans by L. H. Gibson—Some Common
Sense About Ventilation.
[Copyright by American Press Animation]
When a church is to be built one of the
principal things mentioned by those im-
mediately interested is that the entire
space within the structure shall be made
available for hearing and seeing. In the
case of a little church that seats only 200,
if there bea little room toone side, it is
desirable that the seating capacity of this
room be available in connection with the
large room, so that upon extraordinary
occasions all may be thrown into one.
This is an almost universal condition, and
is particularly true of small churches.
Take the case of the little plan here
given. In the main audience room there
is a seating capacity of about 225. In the
Sunday school class room back of the main
room there is capacity for about fifty more,
and thirty-five or forty may be seated in
the gallery above. The class room in this
and other structures of similar character
should be arranged so that it may be cut
Off from the main room, and have its in-
dividual use without connection with the
larger room. Thus the purpose of the
meeting is better subserved, and at times
heat and light are economized.
A vestibule of relatively large size is al-
ways desirablein connection with a church

building. People come on a cold or rainy
day, take off their wraps and overshoes,
and arrange themselves in a way to dis-
turb none who are on the inside. Then it
is much pleasanter not to have a door
opening directly into the room from
noise of the street. It
is true that there is one door which
opens (from the clam: room to the out-
side in the case of this structure, but it
is placed there in deference to prejudice
and not to reason. The people who build
this church think" that on general prin-
ciples it is quite desirable that two doors
be provided, that upon the unusual occa-
sion both doors may be Open that large
numbers may pass through both entrances.
In case of fire it is argued that the church
can be emptied much more rapidly. Now,
in truth, the extra door will not be used
in this building, and in a one story struct-
ure there is not much danger of being in-
jured by fire. As it is, one can go into the
vestibule and thence to the main room,
Or from this same room to the class room
or the gallery above. Thus the extra door
is altogether unnecessary.
There is nothing plentier outside a
church than fresh air, and it is almost uni-
versally true that the air inside the church
is nasty. A great deal of energy has been
wasted in attempts at church ventilation,
and for anything which is so dwirable as
fresh air it is really very strange that noth-

supplying what is wanted. Now it is said
that fresh air is cheap. While this is true
as to fresh air, it is not true as to fresh air
warmed to a summer temperature during
very cold weather. The coal combination
has something to say about the price Of
warmed fresh air. There is one way to
furnish good air in the church building of
this kind. Warm it below in a furnace,
let ittfass ' through the room and to the
outs] e.
The furnace should be ample, the air in-
let large and the air outlet large. The coal
