termed, when sailors were'scarce, to ,

anilors wore not to be had, and when
they were dragged to sendU'em on board
of vessels as sailors. An old salt, in his
peculiar way, tells the story of Rocky
More, and his exploits with a. runner, as
follows: '* ' : 1
Rooky More had just cpme home in i
the sliip Gertrude, Captoiu Baker, from i
Jlombay, and had beon paid off with six |
months' wages, and though at the time
men were scarce and wages high, Rocky

actually boat "to death by the officers
'cause they couldn't do work which
they'd never, yon < Bee, larued for to do,
and, mj>u throw'd. overboard and no
qheStions ever asked. Qf course the
crew wtuild all run away as soon as the
ship struck tile pier head, and so there
weren't none of them to complain, and
ii mere weiro a passenger "on "opard lie I

so generally thoro weren't no inquiry;

ship onto the high seas; and as to the
American consul thero was one or two
shippin' masters that had all to say in

chance a sailor, would have there. 1
r A- few ?i these greenhorns, shaiig- 1
lioied in this way, got back, some of 'ein n
ruined in health, and their business all t
broken up, and perhaps their wife mar- J

. Of ooursc, sir, ilipfo Were uothin' in f
Ibis world that a good sailor-man h?<ied k
po mucli asvone of Uu2.se Jiwe Hl>*r'k8 and'
kidnappers. Rocky-Mortr were a good I
sailor man, but ho weren't handsome. ti
Rocky always looked dr^nk. I think n
the soberer ho got the dfunket he look- tl
ed, and the cut ob his lip and losin* his b
tectli always blade him talk drunk, no si
matter how sober he Were. I have my ci
suspicious that Rocky Were three sheets o
in the wind when Ivo fetched up in that u
there crib hi CherTy street; but Rocky f<
hissed always said, a tellin' mo of it, and o
I've hermit a hundred times, and always I
a little different, that he had slept off his h
Bpree and were quite sober. Hows'ever,
as lui laid there asleep,-he-looked enough a
likula drunken?man ?-for t(>' deceive a ?
Whitehall boatman by t^ie name of Chris '<
Lennox; leastwise that's what they told u
Koeky artcrwards his name wore, who U
was a crusiu' round for to hcq if he ti
couldn't pick up ft haud or two for the P
Cambridge, What then lucked only a few p
of ker crew, and when ho come in here, it
and seen Rocky Mere, he thought he'd ?

them come from depression incident
