Before the ahip was brought to, we
had passed the hulk some distance, ao
that when we halted there were several
hundred yards intervening, and it was
only dimly discernible.
A boat was lowered, and the Captain,
having selected a crew, pulled away
toward the latter.
There was something so extraordinary
regarding the appearaiice and action of
the hulk that the curiosity of us all was
so intense as to be painful We strained
our gaoe as the Captain and ere* drew
rapidly near it
Ws saw the distance Hkiftly decrease
between the two objeeU* tin til the
shadowy forms merged into one. And
then followed an impresahe silence
suddenly broken by a howl, a pistob
shot and a scream ; and, aa our hearts
almost stopped beating, we aaw a mo
ment later the boat pull off from the
bulk, and the men rowing with all their
■tight back to the ship. As they cams
nearer, we discerned thei the Oaptais

Backstay Bob dashed toward the boat,
and, shaking [his flat at the men. de
manded furiously, •' You cowardly drga,

At say other tuns, M was ottered

of Backstay Bob, killed him before he
could do any material injury.
We made a critical examination of the
place. A nomber of human bones
strewed the floor, and several articles of
wearing apparel, which seemed to indi-
late that the place had been tenanted
by two human beings of the opposite
sexes.
The brute hsd a chain to his neck,
and had been confined to one corner of
tho room by a delicate iron ring, which
had been broken. Over the center of
the room was written sonfething in In
dian dialect, which was proflonnoed by
the mate (who had spent several years
In India) to read: **I have sought—I
have found that which I sought—venge
ance."
Carefully removing the body of the
Captain to the little boat, we scuttled
the mysterious craft and saw it .ink,
Shortly after the Captain, wrapped in
his winding sheet, followed the hulk to
the depths of the ocean.

fierce struggle, and then all was still
again. The next moment both Prescott
and Backstay Bob emerged to view,
covered from head to foot with blood.

Franklin requested to know the secret
