The boats were often on sand bars where they sometimes remained for si day and night, but altogether the time was made surprisingly well. A pilot who had a reputation for keeping his bout off the bars commanded as high as $."(>o a month.

You could tell n high priced pilot by the size of the links In his gold watch chain. A rattling good tirst mate who knew how to handle a boat after it struck a bar received $2o0 a month.

She could mend 1> a sail, steer her trick, make or taks In rt sail and use a quadrant as well as any tl one, or at leant as well an any mato h that ever sailed with the Hannah Snow, tl as the brig was named.

Ex- tr trn help was put on to get the cargo w aboard, and Captain Jnbea signed a si bond to get that cargo to Its destlna- p. tlon within a certain number of days, a barring hurricanes, waterspouts and v other act* of I'rovldcnce. The bond had not l>een signed more thqa an hour t< when he broke Ills leg. Nothing was a surer than that he could not carry out re Ills agreement, and a groat flnanclnl tl loss as well as many weeks of vexn- m tlous delay stared the couple In the tr face. They must either llnd a eaptaln 11: to take eliarge of the brig or forfeit H the charter and pay a good round sum, 111 ami Captain Jaliex was wondering If bi a man could be found when hla wlfa lx broke in on him. tr "Jnbez. j'ou have broke your leg, and fli I don't want to lie cross with you, but g< you seem to forglt that I am still nu pi ?artli." "No, I don't," lie replied, "but I don't at see what Von can do lu this case ex- re annt eU l.nnb !>* ?? .?.? ..... _ iu (sk mi- Km k ii win it nun imr."?u hi mc." "Well, I see where 1 can do something else, nnd I'm golu' to do it too. I'm goln' to take the Hannah to the y< West lndiea and hack and save our ci charter." li; "Have y >u lost your senses?" ni "Not n 1 lit of It. If L couklti't make in that voyage I wouldn't be worth my 8< salt. I know all the crew, and I'll hare H Hill Henderson for mate. We'll slip *r down there nnd be hack ag'ln before Gf your leg hns begun to knit. Thar? ' f? needn't be any more talk about Andlng a captain." >u When C'aptnin Jahez thought the dj inaUer over ho was tuclhied to think ^ that his wife could do all she said, but j,| the consignees had to l>e consulted, (t When Aunt Hannah went to them and ni stated the case they dhl not raise a single objection, nnd It was settled that U| she was to he t'nptaln Hannah Sndw n| for the voyage. It was only after the brig bad left port that the mate's meanness came to the aurfnee. He u had sailed with the craft on several r< voyages nnd was n neighbor of the j( Snows nt home. When the accident j happened to t'nptaln Jahez the mate naturally lioped to get rommnnd for the voyage. He would have been dls- t( tressed If any other captain had come nJ abort rd, but to be walked over by n jj womon, even though she Avas the captain's wife and a neighbor, wan too . much. Aunt Hannah saw that he wan In the sulks. "Ix>ok here, Bill Henderson," r.he said, "It won't do you the leant mite of good to go cm biting your ^ tongue over thin. I can captain thla brig aa well as Jaber., and I'm going to 01 take her out and back." e3 "You'll have her at the bottom before Ave strike the gulf stream," he repiled. ec "You never mind where I'll have her, n' but 'tend to yonr knitting. We are to 'D crack on and make the best time we u' can." 1,1 A day later she found the mate carry- ol lug too little sail, and an argument P' ensued. Later on she came ou deck w from her watch below to find htm r' chumming Avlth the men. Two or ^ three other things happened to put her ,E out of temper, and she exercised the ol privilege of a captain by "breaking" " the mate and sending hhu to the fo'- ? castle. When she would replace him with the next best man, the sailor re- ** fused to take the place. The crew was w with the mate. Auut Hannah expressed her inlnd freely, and as a consequence the crew refused to obey. The brig was brought to the wind, sail tak- rl en off, and the woman wa9 laughed at. cc She was told that not a man would do LI duty until the mate was reinstated. lb "Then It's mutiny. Is It?" she replied, th "Very well. I'll let you know that w you've got the wrong pig by the ear. of I'll lose brig, cargo and everything else 81 In the world before I'll give In," 'a For a day and a night t)ie brig made ci no progress, and as the weather was al fair she Incurred no danger. at The crew saw that the woman did re not Intend to give In, and it angered tl them. There was one among thorn w who had rend dozens of pirate books in and always longed to sail under the Ti black flag. Things had never come th right for him before, but now be took ni advantage of the temper of the others sli to broach the subject. He was a good of talker, and he held out such an alluring picture that even the mate, who was above the average man In Intelllgejice, agreed to go Into the pirate business with the others. This decision was im communicated to Cnptaln Hannah, who w was wandering about unconcernedly. g? "Waal, Bill, that's sll right," she ro- P< torted. "There's a rum and sugar load- w ed bark com In' our way, and you to mfgbt begin on her. I've got a black N shawl wbtob I'll give you for a flag, w and jou just lay* to. board that bark dt and givo 'cm fits." t-cc "I'U tiv?j&fte ti bis brig," stoutly assorted the exists. "Then It Is a pirate you'll become, w you'll never git command here." Ko a signal of distress was set on the rig; and when the bark came up and ras bore to ahe was boarded by all be crew of the Know In tlielr own awl. They might have committed nine foolish act and had to smart for : but for tbo woman left aboard, ust before they reached the bark she otsted her black shawl aa a signal ami warning. The crew of the stranger iw that something was wrong, and rhen the "pirates" attempted to lioard ley were met wtth capstan bars and claying pin*. Home were seized and uug Into the sea after being well lumped, and when the bark resumed tic voyage and tbe yawl returned to is brig with the discomfited "pirates" ley were met at the gangway by Capita Hannah and an nuclent fowling leoe and told to shear off. They felt wise to obey, and for seven long aura thej* floated within a cable's ngth of the brig and took turns begIng Aunt Hannah's pardon and eu eating her forgiveness. When they ere half <lend with thirst nnd hunger ?e Invited them aboard, or, rather. i?rmttted them to crawl over the rail ltd promise all sorts of good l?eb?lor In future. The hr'.g bad lost valuable time, but > make up for It Providence gave her gale from the right, quarter and she loved along quickly. She overrun her me by a day, l?oth going and coming, nd never, after having their hurts iit'nded to, was there a more willing iate or crew. Occasionally Captain [nnnah had something to say about nitlny nnd plraey nnd broken liends, ut she mnde no note of It In the log ook, and |?erhaps she never tohl Capita Jnbe*. At- least, when she had ulshed the return voyage, niul he *kcd her how things lind gaua, she relied: ''I can't fllld the least mite of fault, id if you don't git around purty soon le'n the old hrltf and them Jlostoq llppers will have no us?? for you."
