V ? ??-??? ? ? 0 ?? v in ' it|'ji> The following incident ablually.de , .cuned on b,oard of a llrLish frigate, and was conitnunientcd to the writer, several year's ago, by an o'd mnr.-of n war's man : ' 1 A timid boy; about fourteen years ' of ttge, hesitated to gp aloft, but by the captain's orders, was forcibly put in the main rigging, and tjicn a boat ' -8wain's mate was-commanded to lash him like a dog until lie learned to run aloft. The poor f'dhjw's legs and arms ' trembled) he,..-grasped . the shrouds, lie. cried,,he prayed the jn luiir tjn captain for God's sake to have mercy oilhim ; lint all in vain. The ii boatswain's mate was ordered to lay ??n harder and harder, regardless of . ? t*:e boy's piercing screams, which made, even vc teraii seaman turn from n t c brutal score with,disgust, . Iiis " clothes were lent-from his brick, the -?b'ood followed, the lasii, and still the tyrant roared Wit,*"Lay or, bout i ? swain's mule !" , Willi one wild scream he sprang from under ihe lash and bounded up thc^ -rigging wilh .amazing.rapjdily. lie doubled the fultoek rigging like a ?cat, passed up thy. topmast and top gallant rigging with, uudimjnishrd sliced, shinned the ? unrattled ? oyul rigging, and perched himself like a bird alongside of the pennant which streamed from the masthead. Here he paused, looking fearlessly upon the deck below. All hands came up to see him?his cries and cruel treat ment bud already enlisted their sym pathy, and if possdde, had increased their hatred of the captain. The monster was smiling cotnplar eenlly at the success of his experi ment ; he was' one of those tyrants who boasted thai the cat, properly -applied, made men do, f auj tiling. Still he was'apprehensive that lid? boy might dcbt'r?y himself, and the circumstances be used against him at the Admiralty, where he knew repre sentations of his cruelty had already been made. The men,gazed in si teilet, looking lirst at the boy ar?l> I lien at the captain, who Was scaled near the talliatl. They dared licit be seen speaking to one anoti.cr?it was a Hogging oHVuce ; even , at i night spies passed 'under their hummocks to usecilain if they whispered. The olliccis walked the lee side of the. ipiapler-deck, occasionally casting their eyes alofti but were as silent as the men. 'Still the boy pltt?gjjip the masthead, playing with the peanut, apparently unconscious of the inter est-he excited below; Tired with gazing aloft, the captain, sung out through the speaking trumpet, "Down .. fxoui aloft,! Down!" The boy sprang upon the track at a bound, ami raVmg himself erect, waved his cap around his head ; then, ?stretching his arms out gave a wild laughing scream, and threw himself forward. T' o captain jumped to his I feet, expecting to see the boy dashed in pieces on deck ; but when, clear of the shade of the sails he saw. him sliding along the waih'troyal stay to wards the ibrctop-gallant masthead, and heard liim laugh Mid cjftttef like, a monkey, as if ci joying the sport. Jio reached the 'masthead in safety1, and. then descended;along the top gallant backstay hand over hand. The captain looked at, him and was about to speak, but could not Und 1 words. The hoy frothed ut the mouth ? und nose ;. his eyes seemed starling out o( his head ; he rolled upon the deck in convulsions, staining it with blood w hich still trickled IrOra his ?<? back, lie was a maniac. The sur-1 geon's skill in (lie course of a few weeks icsloied his bodily hcalln, but ?Vit his reason, i"' .f Ifruiu that lime forwaid lie was i Rai less-. Tu the darkest night, the floi'.ccst gale, lie would scamper along . tllb deck like a dog, and hound aloft with a speed, which no one on hoard could equal. lie would run over the yards without holding,. pass | from mast to mast on the stays, ascend and descend by the'' leeches of the sails, and run upon the studding sail booms, lie was as nimble us a cat, and had forgotten"fcaY. "Some of the light duties aloft he lcnriied to-dis charge in company with the men?lie did,'an they did, but; could not be trusted to do anything himself. One .order he obeyed without .hesitation. At the command, "Away aloft," lie was oil',' and never paused until he reached the .masthcjidri ,,As ho was. harmless and rarely spoke, the cap toTn kept Iii in -on board,'uhd,: in the course of. ,a year, sent him aloft for amusement. . His .strength increased with his years, but his bulk and height remained nearly tho same tit eighteen '.as-when he-became a mani oc.:. ., ... ,f . His ribs, breast and back seemed one.case,of bonci end his sinews^.and muscles made his legs and arm's ap pear like pillared column?. He was fair, with light! bliie'cycs* and delicate skin; his.faee oval'and full, but'void of expression?neither love, fear, re-, venge nor pleasure could be traced to its stolid outline. His eyes started at everything withopt appearing to see, end, when lie spoke, there wa^sj rarely any meaning .in.his words. He followed the men in their various duties like a dog following his mus ter. Whenever he was struck or startled by i\ boatswain's male, 'lie ran up the main rigging, screaming at the top of bis. lungs, and never paused until he had performed tiie first evolution which had made him a maniac. As the s iiorsstory runs, the sbip arrived at Plymouth to ,bc docked and refitted. The captain, availing himself of the leisure, was going to he married, and the news was com municated by his servant to the cook, who soon circulated it on the berlh deck among tliu ? men, who ICurSed him and all his kin. His servant caittc on board of the hulk where the men were ludged, the evening when ?the captain was to be married. 1 Cra zy Joe (tho niimo the boy-was known by) met him nt the gangway, and asked intelligently , if tlie captain would, be married that evening and where? The servant gave him -the information he desired, and went about Iiis business. That night, while the captain was undressing, he was seized by the throat and dragged to the bridal bed. "Look, fair lady, on me," said Crazy .Joe, lib'ut do not scream^ ^or I will kill you. Look on me. I hohl within ray grasp a devil, who delights in cruelly?a mercilc^t liend who has scourged the backs of hundreds or brave men-?a rulllan who has rob bed me of my reason ; I hold hin. within-the grasp* of death, nl the very moment his black soul thought itself ..within the reach, of bliss. Moih?jor ! look upon yonr''ludy---.liink a mo ment of the heaven of earthly joy almost within jour reach?then think of ine','poor Crajy doe! and of the' hell to which 1 seiu] you ! Die, wrelch,'die!". ? ' ? r AVheu. 'the ? alarm* -way.jgivon* the strangled body ot the-captain was found laying alongside of the bridal lied ; but die maniac who killed him was never recognized afterwards. He belonged to Cor nwall, 'alid pro bably found shelter, from pursuit in the mines until the .excitement pass ed away. The lady staled at the time, and many years -afterwards, that the attack cj the maniac was so sudden and silent that she knew noth ing of it until the imrUmis were push ed aside and she fell the pressure ol the captaiti.'b body bent over lue edge of the bed. Joe held his victim around the,neck with the right hand, and turned him from side to side as Mindly ns if JiG" had been itfeliild, while the.forefinger and .thumb of the left hand grasped^ her . own lhr.uaI, ready to extinguish her life if she attempted to raiso aii alarm. His face.was palo and deathlike, his eyes started, Luit were motionless, and e.yery word he uttered seemed to is sue from tho very depth of his soul. Tho captain's looks were terrible be yond dcsbriplion-~kloatli left the im press of ferocity upon his darkened features. How tho maniac entered or lel'l the room she pevir knertr; bis departure was as noiseless wa his en trance. So paralyzed was she with fear, that an hour elnpsud ,before She could muster courage to call for help, but she.thanked (Jod, whun lh"i Cap tain's cruel character became gener ally known ashore, that she had been rescued from his alliance.?London Nautical.Mnytw'nc. . u .
