A Thrilling Adventure at Sen, In April, 1829, whon T was ia boy of fifteen years, apprenticed on board the the Ulascow ship a large vessel for those days, (cight hundred and li'fty tons) 1 experienced the first horror of it very eventful life, and its matemory has never left mne. I will describe it, briefly, but trnly, for every word is a fact. Wo wore chartored by the B31-ritish Governiont to carry stores, ote., to her ponal colony in New Zoniind : and besdos'our cargo, had thirteon col donnod Malay pirate, who --hand b,-eei sentnced to t."ansptortion for lif'e. They wore in charge of an E'nglish naval oflicer named lo Foo. They were all iroied hand and foot, besides chained to ringholds in the dWmk ; awl so securely fastoned that. l) one decim i t possible forthem to get. loose with out outside help. Our crew, officers and all numbo'red twenty-eight souls, and was none to,, Iargo to manage suoh a heavy craft. We had fine weather when weoleft. lih Olyde, and it stayed with us5 until we 9rore a good wvays south oif G ibralter. Onoe afterniooni,whena lookinig at the pri soners under his charge, Liieuteniant Mcooe th'ght lie saw soimething wrong about the irons of-one of' thtem, anid hoe rep)orted it to ('aptaiu Wilson of oiur ship, and thbough t therye had bottor be a ('lose inspect ion ol' thiem. But Caup tuin WVilson wasi~ a vory onsy-goinag man11 at aill timies ; anid suppier being ready just then, he0 reimarked that lie guessed all was right, bult lhe would - hiave a look at thiem in t-ho morning, for the satisf action of' NeFoo. Alas! - for him there was no mornming to It was a clear, calmi night ; th'e moon at a full ; not enough wind to - 1ll the canvass, or give the ship steor age way. Another boy, of about miy owni age, and~ myself were aloft, sit t ing in the slings of the l'oroyard, talk ing about home, when all at once we heard a rush of feet below us, and looking down on deck, we saw to our terror, the whole gang of Malaya rush 'ing up from below, free fromi their i rens. They soisod capstan-bars, the eook's axe, iron bolayinig pine, every -thing which oaimo handy, and rushed - at the men of the watch on deck, striking themn down without any mior cy, but making no outcry. Mr, ].ruotI tho' first v'ictinr, and h'n a few minutes--loss time than it takes mnc -to tell it-very man, excoapt the man at the wheel, lay dead upon the- (leck, witht their brains dashed out, or stabb ed to death with their own sheath-~ knuives. * We two boys clambered up into the top, whore we lay on our facen, as still -as death, looking on the horrible scene going on bolow. Another of the o row, named White, was asloep there, but we did not dare to wake him, for fer' we should- be. discove'red or over heard by the inuarnate fiends beOlow. Captain Wilson, atjthis time,. came out of the cabin, hearing an unusul noise, but was. killed int an instant. The wi'octhos now rushed down inte - . the forenstl9, where the labored watch wvas slooping-,- andl soon fhnished them. "N By this tune Lieut. MoFoo and the second mate, also the carpenter, who wore in the cabin, found out what was *going on ; and closing and barricadhlig the cabin-door, they got pistols from the arm-ehost and comninnod firin en every pirate they could see thro' the cab in sky-lights. A t the firsit lire, three of the pirates, boiiry (:ose to thorn, fell dead ; and in a minuto or 'two, several more were badly wound Tepirates' had now k illo I oveiry man on dock except thec heummian at the wheel ; anl enking n gienrl i-u.,i at hinigthey kin eked I'im down Ca - 'Whila.,tha woi .Aoi t..s, t. aia it bIe ca lin shot two more of t Iln deiad, and wounded the chief so badly with at boarding-piko, as' ho itood ae om the- sky-light, that his bow oh. actiyi g t")ush(l out. But be did not give tp, lbut raved torribly be cause he could not. get at them. As the ship wats in sight of land, they now thought of escape. They hoisted out the piinnance, and put a keg of water in ; and into thie boat tall of the survivors, six ill number, got, and dropped astern, making for the land as fast as they could row. Finding the deck clear of till but the (lead, thu party frumt the cabini came out, and the we throo inl the Iaintop went down. Th- mere. we s(ood, till alive, as wo iupposod, of twenty nino souls. But onl going inato the forecastle, we found .two mon yOt alivO, though terribly wounded, and shortly after a faint hail from for ward under the bows was heard, and there wo found tlhe holnsman who had b0n thrown [overboard, suipposed by the pirates to be dead. Ie had only ben stunned, and had come to whei he fell into the wator ; and, swim -ing forward, had ntot beem sen by tho >irates whoa, the left they sip. o wero terribly shtort-handed now; but we mananged to got into Lisbon with tho ship, alnd while lying there, we had tihe satisfaction of eeing the pirates who had left the ship, brought ian by a British mian-of-war whiih had boon cruising closo il under the land, and had seen tleuo before they got, their convicts' -lothes off, or the iron belt to which1l their waist-chain had been fastened.
