A MARRIAGE‘ AT. SEA. ,

o <

three men went aboard the bark, taking
their clothes with; ’em; but when I told
Bobby to go too, ‘ No,’ said he, ‘ I’ll stop
and help ya to pump, sir.’ There’s the
making of a proper English sailor, Mr.
Barclay, in that there boy,” he ex~
claimed, casting his eyes at the lad, who
had again addressed himself to the

pump. _
' “And here you’ve been all day?” sald

“All day, sir, and all night too, and a
dirty time it’s bin.” . -

“ Waiting for something to give you a
tow, with a long black night at hand?”

“ Mr. Barclay,” said he, “ I told ye I
should stick to that there little dandy;
and I wouldn’t break my word for no
man.”

“ You shan’t be disappointed,” said
Captain Verrion, bestowing on Caudel a
hearty nod of approval, this time untinc-
tured by condescension. “Give us the
end of your tow-rope, and we’ll drag the
dandy home for ye.”

“ Cap'n, I thank ’ee,” said Caudel.

“ You and the boy are pretty nigh worn
out, I allow,” exclaimedCaptain Verrion.
“ I’ll put a couple of men aboard the
Spitfire. How often ’ does she want
pumping?”

“ ’Bout every half-hour.”

“You stay here,” said Captain Verrion,

looking with something of commisera-

tion at Caudel, who, the longer one sur-
veyed him, the more soaked, ashen, and
shipwrecked one found him. “ I,ll send
for the boy, and you can both dry your-
selves and get a good long spell of rest.”
He left us to give the necessary orders
to his men, and whilst the steamer
launched her own boat, I stood talking
with Gandel, telling him of our adven-
tures aboard the Carthusian, of our mar ‘
riage and so forth.

I had got into the shelter of the com-
panion whilst I talked, and Grace, hear-
ing my voice, called to me to tell her
why the steamer had stopped, and if
there was anything wrong.

“ Come here, "my darling,” said I. She
approached and stood at the foot of the
steps. “We have fallen in with the
Spitfire, Grace, and here is Caudel."

She uttered an exclamation of aston-
ishment. He directed his oyster-like
eyes into the comparative gloom, and
then, catching sight of her, knuckled
his forehead, and exclaimed, “Bless
your sweet face! And I am glad indeed,
mum, to meet you and find you both
Well and going home likewise.” She
came up the steps to give him her hand,
and I saw the old sailor’s face working
as he bent over it.

The steamer lnadea short job of the
Spitfire; but a very little manoeuvring
with the propeller was needful, a line
connected the two vessels, the yacht’s
boat returned with the boy Bobby, leav-
ing three of the steamer’s crew in the
dandy, the engine-room bell sounded.
immediately was felt the thrilling of the
engines in motion, and presently the
Mermaid was rippling through it once
more, with the poor little dismasted Spit-
fire dead in her write. I sent for the
boy, and praised him warmly for his
manly behavior in sticking to Caudel.
Captain Verrion then told them both to
go below and get some hot tea, and put
on some dry clothing, belonging to them,
that had been brought from the dandy.

“I’m thinking, sir,” said he, when
Caudel and the other had left, “that I
can't do better than run you into
Mount’s Bay. I never was at Penzance,

. but I'believe there’s'a bit 'of a harbor

there, and no doubtarepairing shipway,
and I understand that Penzance was
your destination all along.”

I assured him he would be adding im-
measurably to his kindness by doing as
he proposed; “ but as to the Spitfire,” I
continued. “I shdn’t spend‘a farthing
upon her. My intention is to sell her,
and divide what she will fetch among
those who have preserved her.

Some time about two o’clock on the
afternoon of Monday, the Mermaid, with
the Spitfire in tow, was steaming into
Mount’s Bay. I stood with Grace on my
arm, looking. The land seemed. as
novel and refreshing to our sight as
though we had kept the sea for weeks
and weeks. A few smacks from Newlyn,
were putting to- sea, and the whole
picture their way was rich with the dyes
of their canvas.

The steamer was brought to a stand
when she was yet some distance from
Penzance harbor, but long before this we
had been made out from the shore, and
several boats were approaching to
inquire what was wrong and to offer
such help as the state of the Spitfire
suggested. Caudel and Captain Verrion
came to us where we were standing, and
the former said,—

“I’m going aboard the dandy, now,
sir. I’ll see her snug, and will then take
your honors commands.”

“Our address will be my cousin’s
home, which is some little distance from
Penzance,” I answered: “here it is.”
And I pulled out a piece of paper
and scribbled the address upon it.
“You’ll be Without anything in your
pocket, I dare say,” I continued,phanding
"See to the boy,
Caudel, and if he wants to go heme you
must learn where he lives, for I mean to
sell that yacht there, and there’ll be
money to go to him. And so farewell
for the present,” said I, shaking the
honest fellow heartily by the hand.

He saluted Grace, and went over the
side, followed by Bobby Allett, and both
of them were presently aboard the little
Spitfire.

“ There are boats coming,” exclaimed
Captain Verrion, “which will tow your
dandy into Penzance harbor, sir. Will
you go ashore in one of them, or shall I
have one of the yacht’s lowered for
you?" ‘

Thanking him heartily, I replied that
one of the Penzance boats would do very
well, and then, looking into my pocket-
book and finding that I had no more

money about me than I should need, I ‘

entered the cabin, sent the sailor attend-
ant for some ink, and, writing a couple
of checks, asked Captain Verrion to
accept one for himself and to distribute
the proceeds of the other among his
crew. .He was very reluctant to take the
money, but I got him to put the checks
into' his pocket at last, and, several
boats having by this time come along-
side, I shook the worthy man by the
hand, thanked him again and again for
his treatment of us, and went with
Grace dowu theV‘little gangway-ladder
into the boat. - -

On landing, we proceeded to the
Queen’s Hotel, where I ordered dinner,
and then'wrote 'a letter to. my cousin,
asking him and his, wife to come to us as

speedily as possible, adding that we had'

been very nearly shipwrecked and had
met with some strange adventures, the

narrative of which, if attempted, must

fill a very considerable" bundle of manu-
' script. . This done, I‘told the waiter to
procure me a mounted messenger, and
within three-quarters ofan hour of .our

. arrival at Penzance my letter was on its

way at a hard gailon to the little straw.

Grace. -

There was a pause ; my darling looked

about with terrified eyes, and I believe
she would have rushed from the‘iroom
but for the apprehension of running into
the arms of the visitors as they ascended
the staircase. A waiter opened the
door, and in stepped Mr. and Mrs. Frank

Howe. My cousin and I eagerly shook
hands, but nothing could be said or done
until the ladies were introduced. I had
never before met Mrs. Howe, and found
her a fair-haired, pretty woman of some
eight-and-twenty years, dressed some-
what “ dowdily,” to use the ladies’ word,
but her countenance so beamed with
cheerfulness and good nature that it
was only needful to look at her to like
her. Frank, on the other hand, was a
tall, well-built man of some three-and-
thirty, with small side-whiskers, deep-
set eyes, a large nose, and teeth so
white and regular that it Was a pleasure
to,see him smile. He held Grace's hand
in both of his and seemed to dwell with
enjoyment upon her beauty as he ad-
dressed her in some warm-hearted sen-
tences. Mrs. Howe kissed her on both
cheeks, drew her to the sofa, seated her-
self by her side, and was instantly volu-
ble and delightful.

I took Frank to the window, and, with
all the brevity possible in a narrative of
adventure such as ours, related what
had befallen us. He listened with a run-
ning commentary of “ By Jove I—You
don’t say so !—-Is it possible I" and other
such exclamations, constantly directing
glances at Grace, who was now deep in
talk with Mrs. Howe, and, as I could tell
by the expression in her face, excusing
hprt conduct by explaining the motives
o 1 . -

Mrs. Howe’s air was one of affection
and sympathy, as though she had come
to my darling with the resolution to
love her and to help her. .

“She is very young, Herbert,” said
Frank, in a low voice.

“ She is eighteen,” I answered.

“She is exquisitely beautiful. I can-
not wonder at you, even if I could have
the heart to condemn you. But is not
that a wedding-ring on her finger?”

“ It is,” I answered, looking at him.-

He looked hard at me in return, and
remarked, “A mere provision against
public curiosity. I presume? For you
are not married?"

“ I am not so sure of that," I an-
swered; “ but my story is not yet
ended.” And I then told him ,of the
marriage service which had been per-
formed by Captain Parsons on board the
ship Carthusian.

“ Tut I” cried he, with a decided shake
of the head, when I had made an end.
“ That’s no marriage, man."

“ I believe it is, then," said I; “though,
of course, until you unite us we do not
consider ourselved man. and wife.”

“ I should think not,” he exclaimed
with vehemence. “What! a plain mas-
ter of a ship empowered to solemnize
Holy Matrimony? Certainly not. ‘No
Churchman would hear of such a thing.”

“ Ay, but it’s not for the Church; it's
the afiair of the law. If the law says it’s
all right the Church is bound to regard
it as right.”

“ Certainly not,” he cried, and was pro-.
ceeding, but I interrupted him by re-
peating that we had consented to be
married by Captain Parsons in the
forlornhope that the contract might be
binding. '

“But without banns?—without license?
—without the consent of the young
lady’s guardians? No, no,” he cried;
“ you are not married. But .it is highly
desirable,” he added, with a look at
Grace, “that you should get married
without delay. And now what do you
propose to do?”

“Well, time may pe saved by your
publishing the banns at once, Frank.”

“Yes, but you must first obtain the
guardian’s consent.”

“ Oh, confound it I" I cried, “ I did not
know that. I believed the banns could
be published whilst the consent was
being worked for.”

He mused awhile, eying his wife and
Grace, who continued deep in conversa-
tion, and then, after a considerable
pause, exclaimed,—

-“ There is nothing to be done but
this; we must revert to your original
scheme. Miss Bellassys—"

“ Call. her Grace,” said I.

“Well, Grace must come and stay
with us.”

I exclaimed“ to

I nodded; for that I had intended all -

along.

“Iwill find a lodging for you in the
village.” Inodded again. “Meanwhile,
—this very day, indeed,—you must sit
down and write to Lady Amelia Roscoe,
saying all that your good sense can sug-
gest, and taking your chance, as you
have put it, of the appeal your associa-

tion With her neice will maketo her"

ladyship’s wordly vanity and to her
perceptions as a woman of society.

“All that you are saying,” I replied,
“ I had long ago resolved on; and you
will find this scheme, as you have put it,
almost word for word in the letter in
which I told you of my plans and asked
you to marry us.”

“ Yes, I believe my recommendations
are not original,” said he. There is
something more to suggest, however.
If Lady Amelia will. send Grace her con-
sent, why wait for the banns to be pub-
lished? Why not procure a license? It
is due to Grace,” said he, sinking his
voice and sending a look of admiration
at her, “ that you should make her your
wife as soon as possible.”

“ Yes, yes, I have heard that said be-
fore. Ihave been a good deal advised
on this head. My dear fellow, only con-
sider; would not I make her my wife
this instant if you will consent to marry
us?” '

The pony and trap had been sent
round to some adjacent stables, but by
seven o’clock we had made all necessary
arrangements and the vehicle was again
brought th the door. I then sat down to
write Lady Amelia Roscoe.

It is some years now since all this hap-
pened. I have no copy of that letter,
and my memory is not strong in points
of this sort. I recollect, however, that
after making several attempts I pro-
duced something which was brief almost
to abruptness, and that it satisfied me
as on the whole very well put, not want-
ing in a quality of what I might term
mild brutality, for this was an element
I could not very well manage without
having regard to what I had to ask and
what I had to tell. And- let this referrnce
to that letter sufilce; though I must add
that I took care to enclose a copy of
Captain Parson’s certifiCate of our mar-
riage, with the names of those‘ who had
signed - it, affirming that the marriage
was good in point of law, as she might
easily assure herself by consulting her
solicitors, and also .acquainting her in
up doubtful terms that the Wedding-

in'g was on Grace’s Inger and that we
refiarded ourselves as husband and

I had scarcely despatched this letter

when Gaudel was announced. He stood,

in the door-way, capin hand, knuckling
his forehead and backing a bit with a
rolling gait, after the custom of the
British merchant sailor. .

“Well, Mr. Barclay, sir, and how are
ye again? And how’s ‘the young lady
after all these here traverses?"

I bade him sit down. pulled the bell
for a glass ‘of grog for him, and 'asked
for news of the Spitfire.

“Well. sir. ” he answered “ she’s just
what I’ve come to talk to you about.
She startedabutt, as I all along thought
otherwise she’s as sound as abell. There
was a shipright'as came down to look at
her, and he asked me what we was going
to do. I told him that I didn’t think the
gent as owned her meant to repair her.
“I rather fancy,” I 3 says, says I,
feeling my way, “_ that he wants to sell
hert” “How much do ’6 ask, d’ye know?”
says he, 8. looking at the little dandy.
“ I can’t answer that ” say’s I, but I’m
sure he’ll accept any reasonable offer.
Says he, ‘May I view her?’ Sartinly, I
say’s, says I. He thoroughly overhauled
her. inside and out, and then says he, ‘ I
believe Ican find a customer for this
here craft. Suppose you go and find out
what the gentlemen wants and let me
know. You’ll find me at ’ and here
henames a public house. "

“ Get what you can for her, Caudel,”
Ianswered: “the more the better for
those to whom the money will go. ’ For
my part, as you know, 'I consider her as
at the bottom; but, since you have
pulled her through, I’ll ask you to pack
up certain articles which are on board,
—the cabin clock, the plate, my books
” and I named a few other items of
the little craft’s internal furniture.

Well, he sat with me fora half an hour,
talking over the dandy and our adven-
tures, then left me, and I went into the
town to make a few necessary pur-
chases. 3

I went to bed at nine o’clock, and may
say that I did not sleep the less soundly
for missing the heave of the ocean.

Next morningshortly after breakfast
Frank arrived to drive me over to—'.
Until we were clear of the town he could
talk of nothing but Grace,——how sweet
she was, how exquisite her breeding,
how gentle. All this was as it should be,
and I heard him with delight.

But to make an end, seeing that .but
little more remains to be told. It was
four days after our arrival at that
Idrove Grace over to Penzance to en-
able her to keep an appointment with
her dress-maker. Caudel still hung
about the quaint old town, and had sent
me a rude briny scrawl, half the words
looking as though they had been smeared
out by his little finger and the others as
if they had been written by his pro-
truded.’tongue, in which he said, in
spelling beyond expression Wonderful,
that he had brought the shipwright to
terms, and wished to see me. I left
Grace at the dress-maker’s and walked
to the address where Caudel had said I
should find him. He looked highly soaped
and polished, his hair shone like his
boots, and he wore a new coat, with
several fathoms of spOtted kerchief
Wound round his throat. '

After we had exchanged a few senten-
ces of greetingand goodwill, he address-
ed me thus :

“ Your honor gave me leave to do the
best I could with the little dandy.
Well, Mr. Barclay, sir, that is what I’ve
done; and here's the money."

He thrust his hands into the pocket of
his trousers, and pulling out a large
Chamois-leather bag, he extracted from
it a quantity of bank notes, v'ery worn,
greasy, and crumpled, and some sov-
ereigns and shillings which looked as if
they had been stowed away in an old
stocking since the beginning of the cen-
tury. He surveyed me with a respect-
ful triumph, perhaps watching for some
expression of astonishment. ‘

“How much have you there, Caudel?”

‘_‘ You’ll scarcely credit it sir.” said he,
grinning.

“ But how much, man? how much?”

‘3‘ One hundred and seventy-three
pound, fourteen shillin’, as I’m a man I”
cried, smiting the table with his im-'
mensc fist.

I smiled, for, though I had bought the
dandy cheap, she had cost me a very
great deal more by the time she was fit
to go afloat in than Caudel had received
for her. But Grace was not to be kept
waiting; and I rose.

“You will give what you think fair to
the boy Bobby, Caudel.”

He looked at me stupidly.

“ Did I not tell you,” said I, “ that
what the dandy fetched was to be yours,
and that something of it was to go to the
boy? As to those who deserted you, they
may call on me for their wages, but
they’ll get no more.”

He seemed overwhelmed; and indeed
his astonishment surprised me, for I had
imagined my intentions with regard to
the yacht were well known to him.

Grace and I returned to some-
where about four o’clock, having lllnched
at Penzance. We alighted at the vicar—
age, and entered the fragrant little
dining-room. My cousin and his wife
were sitting waiting for us, Sophy on
our entrance started up and cried,—

“ Grace, here is a letter for you. I be-
lieve it is from your aunt."

My darling turned white, and I was
sensible of growing very nearly as pale
as she. Her hand trembled as she took
the letter; she eyed me piteously.
seemed to make an effort to break the
envelope, then, extending it to me, said,
“ I dare not read it.” -

I instantly tore it .open, read it to my—
self once, then aloud :

“Lady Amelia Roscoe begs to inform
her niece that she washes her hands of
her. She wishes never to see nor to hear
of her again. So far as Lady Amelia
Roscoe’s consent goes, her niece is at
liberty to do what she likes and go where
she likes. Any further communications
which Lady Amelia’s niece may require
to make must be addressed to her lady-
ship’s solicitors, Messrs. Fox and Wyn-
dall, Lincoln’s Inn Fields,” .

“Thank Heaven!" I exclaimed, draW-
ing the deepest breath I hadIever fetched
in my life.

“Now, Herbert, Iam at your service,"
said Frank.

Grace was crying, and Sophy, giving
her husband and me a reassuring look,
with sisterly gentleness took my dar-
ling’s arm and led her out of the room.

Men Who Make Money From the Oil
. and Grease of Repliies and Animals-

01'. From; the ‘Rattlesnukey-Grenso
" From. the Polecat. ‘

Within a radius of ten miles from
Hamburg, Conn., there are half a
dozen men who are accumulating
money from the sale of the oil and
grease that they extract from the
various reptiles and animals that they
capture among the ledges and along
the streams.

The muskrat, the polecat and the
rattlesnake yield the most valuable
oils that they get, and of these three
the rattlesnake oil is worth the most.
It finds a ready sale and brings from
$25 to $30 an ounce, according to its
purity. This oil is procured from the
eggs of the snake and the process of
getting it is a tedious one. In captur-
ing the snake care must be taken not
to beat it upon the middle .of its body,
for by so doing the hunter runs a risk
of breaking the eggs that the snake
may be carrying and thus render
them valuelc-ss.

The snake hunters have become
adepts at the business, and they go
armed with a pole or staff about eight
feet long, _into the end of which is set
a sharp steel blade from six to eight
inches in length. When a snake is
discovered, the hunter stamps upon
the ground and alarms it. The snake
erects its head, and, like a flash, the
staff swings around, and the ser-
pent’s head is popped of by the glit-
tering blade. .

If the body of the snake is found to
contain eggs they are removed and
placed in a kettle of water, under
which a fire is built. The water is al-
ways boiling before the eggs are put
into it, and it is kept at a boiling
point as long as oil rises from the
eggs. to the surface. It often requires
forty-eight hours of steady boiling to
extract all the oil from fifteen eggs.

Every half hour the oil is skimmed
from the water and placed in a small
iron kettle that is about eight inches
in diameter and eighteen inches deep.
Considerable of the boiling water is
carried into this kettle with the
grease. When all the oil has been ex-
tracted from the eggs and placed in
the small kettle, a lid is placed upon
it and hermetically sealed with red
sealing wax. A slow and steady fire
is then kept under the kettle until all
the water in the oil has evaporated
through a small pipe that enters the
side of the kettle near the top and
which leads to a worm that rests in a
barrel of constantly running water.
From a tube at the bottom of the
worm the condensed water drops into
a glass jar. To the top of this small
particles of oil rises. and when it has
cooled it is taken off.

When water ceases to drop from the

‘ tube at the bottom of the worm it is evi-

dent that there is no more Water in the
kettle, and the 'fire is immediately
drawn from beneath it, and it is de-
luged with cold water until it is thor-
oughly cooled.

From this kettle the oil is removed,
and placed in a. shallow tin pan with
a handle and agwide spout in it. The
pan is placed over the fire, and when
the oil is thinned it is poured through
a cloth—linen of very fine texture——
into a glass jar. When thus clarified
it has the appearance of vaseline. In

. this shape it is marketed.

tattlesnake oil is used as a remedy
for rheumatism, and it is one of the
ingredients employed in the manu-
facture of some of the patent inedi-
cines found in the market for neu-
ralgia, rheumatism and obscure dis-
eases of the joints. It is a powerful
irritant, and when a drop of it is ap-
plied to the flesh it has about the
same effect that the application of a
coal of fire would. For this reason
the manufacturers of this oil are
obliged to exercise the greatest care,
and while working at the kettles they
invariably wear gloves, and when
their face is not protected by a beard,
they cover the lower portion of it with
a loose cloth fastened. in place by an
elastic band.

So persistently has the rattlesnake
been hunted in this vicinity, he is
now but rarely found. Now and then
one is captured in some isolated 10-
cality among the ledges and in the
swamps. In the central part of the
State this species of serpent is com-
mon, and hunters there procure a
great deal of rattlesnake oil during
the year.

Next to the rattlesnake in import-
ance to the hunter is the polecat. The
pelt ofthis obnoxious animal brings
from $1.50 to $2 readily, and the fat
of the animal produces a grease that
sells for from fifty to seventy-five
cents a pound. A great deal of this
grease is consumed by New England
people, who believe it to be asove'r-
eign remedy for croup in children and
hoarseness and soreness of the chest
in adults.

As a healing article this grease
possesses great merit, and it is used
by apothecaries in the manufacture of
ointments. The pelt of the black
polecat is quite valuable, and it is
often manufaCturcd into muffs and
boas and sold for monkey skin.

The men who follow the business of
hunting are very retiring in their
habits ofliving. They dwell in poorly
constructed huts among the hills, and
are only seen in town when they have
It is estimated
that each one of them is worth $10,000,
and it has all been made at this pe-
culiar business in the last dozen years.
