I THE CHILIUI TR1BEDY, BT W. fLARK RUIUII.L. In tb* year 1H63 I sailed M ship's doctor aboard th* Ckiltrna* in the third voyage that 9ns Black wall liner made to Melbourne. I had cbtained th. berth through the in- fluence of a relative. My own practice wu a snug little ooncern in a town some fifty mile, from Lendon ; but a change wa* need- ed, a chang. for my health such a change a nothing but th. ocean* of th. world, with ill-Mr several climatet aud hundred wind*, oould provide, and so I resolved to go a voyage round th. world on the euy terms of feeling pulses and administering draught*, with nothing to pay and nothing to receive, ' seat at th* cabin table, and a berth luted with shelves and charged with a very powerful smell of ohemiit'i shop down a't in what i* called the steerage. I joined tb. (hip at the Fast India 1 locks, aad w.nt belew to inspect my quarter*. I found th.m gloom* and .mall ; but any rat- hoi, wu reckoned good enough in those days tor a ship's doctor a person who, though of the nnt importance |to the well- being of th. .hip, is, u a rale, trr.u-d by most owners and .kipper* with the same sort of consideration that in former time* a parson to a nobleman received, until he had obliged my lord by marrying his cut lady First let me briefly sketch this interior of saloon and steerage, since it is tb* theatre.on which wu enacted the extraor- dinary tragedy I am about to relate. The CHUiman had a long poof); under thi* wu the saloon in tb***days termed th. cuddy; oabin. very richly .bulkheaded went away down aft on either hand. Amidships wu th* table, overhead the skylights, aud the deck wa* pierced by the shaft of ihe mizzeu- mut, superbly decorated, with a piano-forte cured to th* deck just abaft it. There were no ladies' saloon*, nmoking-rooms, bath-room*, u in this age, though the ihip wu one ot the handsomest of her class ; if you sought retirement, you w.nt to your cabin; if yon desired a pipe you itepped on deck ; il yon aikvd for a bath, you er directed to the head pump. The CkUiman'i cuddy wu eo'-ered from th* quarter-deck by door* close beside th two flight* of step* which conducted to th poop. A large square of hatch yawned nea the entrance inside, and you descende ' a itaircas* to the steerage where my her*. wu. The arrangement of this eteerag somewhat resembled that of th* cuddy ; bu the bulkhead, and general furniture wer in the lut degree plain. I believe the; charged about twenty-five pound, for benh down here, and sixty or (event guineu fora cabin up above. Whilst I stood in my berth lookin round me, a little bowlegged man in a cam )' jacket and a larg. crawberry mark on his cheek peend in and uked if I wu th doctor. "Ay Dr. HarrU," said I. " I'm the ship's steward, sir," said he "That's where I sleep, "and hi pointed to a cabin opposite. I wu glad to mak. thi* man', acquaint ance, and was very civil to him. I woulc advue all sea-going doctors, on long-voytg ailing-ships, to speedily mak* friend* wit the head it* ward. I remarked npon th gloominess of my quarten, and laid I wu afraid when it cam* to my uakiog u draught* I might blunder for the want o light. He answered that the sailon neve expected much mon than strong dotet o Glauber't aalt, and that in hi* experi.nc passenger*, a* a rule, managed JfAT-.V.M*/ without Ulka"i,"mrwTle afull ship. H nswend. pntly full. About half th teerage berths were taken, and the *am number of cabin* would be occupied in th aloon. Th* 'tween decks w.r. crowded, h told me. After Chi. chat I went on deck, where mad. the acquaintance of the captain an. the chief mate. The .hip wu .till in th dock., and the captain had just come aboard, and wu talk ng to the first office when 1 walked up to them. The decks were fall of life and the icene of excitement am intend. Groups of 'tween decks psopli tood about ; number of drunken sailon w.r. bawling and cutting caper, on th. forecast le ; some .aloon paateng.i. who hat joined th* slup in the dock* walked thi poup ; Itlue Peter wu streaming at oui fore-royal mail- head under the gray sky o the Isle of Dogs ; in all dinctions rose thi masts of .hip*, a complicated forett bewildering with the lace-work am tracery of rigging. Cargo was .winging in .nd ont ; pawl, of capstan and win^i were ticking lik. gigantic olooki to lh. thrust of the handspike and the revolution of the handle ; the air wu full ot the smel of diitant clime* ; I seemed to tut <. c, and nutmeg and a pungent tickling of black pepper ; but the perfume of the great. j wool- bale wu dominant, and suggested nothing of the. sweetnte* of the Arabian gale. The captain went below ; the mate fell a shouting I walked to the brass rail that ran across the break of the poop and gazed bout me. The steerage passengers on the main-deck looked a shabbily dressed lot of poor distressed people men, women, and children. I took notice that certain young fellows, apprentices or midshipmen, with brass buttons on their jacket, and lira", badge, on their caps, warn.d them off th. quarter-deck whenever they .tepped abaft the iiiainina.it. One of these young fellows cam. i nd .tood beside, me. H. wu a gentlemanly, fair-haired, handsome lad, now making.a. h. pl.uantly told me, his second voyage. I asked him why those poor peopl. w.re ordered off the part of the deck that lay immediately below in. H. laid because, it was the quarter-deck, to IK- used only by the second clas* p*sengers. "That dirty ralHi," r.nd he, looking with Uisgust ii', the third-olus folks, "must keep to th. waist and for.au... if they want ir." "Ant thi* fine deck of poop ?" said I. " K'ibrdy use* this," he answered, " h the atom uobs and th. oflioors and hip? en." "ttly before eleven the vessel hauled 001 of d. k. Their wu much nois. of yell- ing and swearing at this tune. My sj.'ht od hearing were confounded, and I won- it.r.d flat any m' rial being ahould under land tSe exact thing to do in such aioene of elan onus distraction. I'eopl. on th. PUT- h>ads shrieked farewell, to ihi'te on hoard, and th te on board *obb*il and yelled in reaporue. When we had Roated over Ihe oill with the mud-pilot en the foreAAitle almomt apopletic. with unavailing wrath at some insult filed at him oil of a hurt loans lung on the wharf, a tug got hold of m, a o>pli of seamen lurched a.'i lo thu but mid- wheel, the hawser tautened, and away we went down the river in the fizzing wake ot a pair of churning paddle*. The varied scenery of the Tham.s I mean il* maritime detail* of craft* of twenty different rigs and *teaw*n of twenty differ- ent upects thrusting .up and down, some staggering athwart, others making a bee. line through the reaches charmed and in- terested me, who wu fresh from a long .pell of inland, almost rural lift, and I lingered till I wu driven below by the wet, which came sweeping along in sucoest'on of drenching squalls u we rounded out of Galleon's into Barking Reach. I spent the n-naioder of Uie day in putting my cabin to right*, examining the drugi (some of which for antiquity metlioii^ht might hav* gone round the world with Cook in his first voyage), and in providing for my own com- fort u best I oould, and at half put six went into the cuddy to join the people at dinner, by whiob hour the ship hail arrived at a mooring-buoy offGraveaeod, and wa* lying motiouleu on her own shadow in the tream. It wu sullen evening, already dark, and dirty blowing wet weather on deck. The muffled howling and biasing of the wind in ttie three lowering spin* of mut and yard aud rigging communicated, I've no doubt, the particular brilliancy and beauty I found in the appearance of the well-lighted cuddy, with it* long table draped for dinner, sparkling with glus aud plate, and a number of Indies and gentle- men, along with the captain and chiet offi- cer, issuing from their respective berths to take their seat*. Thirteen of u* sat down, and when thi* was remarked by an elderly lady next the capia'n, a midshipman wa. tent for to neutralize the sinister influence of that number by making a fourteenth. The lad took hi. place with a countenance of happy astonishment. He heartily wished, I dare lay, that thirteen people would lit down to dinner every day. I understood that then were some eight or ten more, passengers expected from Gravettnd in th* morning. 1 lookd me to tee what sort of persons I wu about to be usociated with on an ocean passage that might run into four months. No need in this brief record of tragic event to enter into minute descriptions of the people; enough if I refer now lo two persons who at opposite to me, both of whom were to prove leading aoton in what I have to tell. One of them wa* a man of about *ix and- tl.irly yean of age. H. wor. a heavy moustache slightly streaked wi'h gray. His xyes were dark, keen, and iteadfut in th.ir gaz. steadfast indeed to rude.oeos.for his manner of looking at yon was scarcely leu thin a deliberate scrutinizing s'are. His hair wu thin on lop, bushy al the sides; his complexion dark, as of on* who ha* lived long under the sun. Hi* voice wa* subdued, his whole bearing gentlemanlike. His companion wu a lady a dark, very handsome woman of thne or four an I twenty. Her hair wu black, without gloat a soft, dark, rich bltck, and I never be- fon *aw a woman with so wonderful a thicknea. of hair u that girl had. Her large, fine, dark eye* had a tropic sparkle; there was foreign blood ia the glances which flashed through the long laahe*. Her com- plexion wu a delicate olive, made tender by a soft luting bloom which rested like a lingering blush upon her cheek*. Her figure looked faultless, and doubt.eu wu o. I pnl the man down u a happy fellow not have -...-..,. .., all fondness; hen that of the impassioned young wife who tin ) difficulty in concealing her adoration in public. I have thut tketched them, but I own lhat I wu not more particularly intereeied in the couple than in olhen of the people who tal on either hand. The chief mate of the ihip, however, Mr Small, who occupied a .rat on my left, concluded that my inter- eet wu sufficiently keen to justify htm in talking t] me about them ; and in a low voice he told me lhat they were Captain and Mrs. Norton-Savage ; he didn't quite know what he wu captain of,' but he had gathered from come source he couldn't recollect that he had made fortune in South America, in Lima or Callao, and had been married a few week* only, and wa* going to lire in Australia as his wife's health wa, not good, and th. doctors believed the Australian climate would suit her. peered into the galley or ihip*. kitcb.n, then into a foreoutle, a cloomy oave dully lighted by a lamp who., vapor wa. poison- out with the tluoh that fed u,an 1 complicat- ed tot-be landlubber's eye i>y ihegluumering outlines of hammocks, and the dark, coffiu- like shapes of bimkt and seamen's cheels. I than descended intoth*'tweende>ck* by way of ihe main-hatch, and look a view of the accomolaiion there, and found the cabins formed of plankt roughly shaped into bulk- heads, with partition! which made mere pigeon-hole* of the places. In truth th. poor third-class fclki w.r. alwtv* bully treated in those days at sea. Tn<-y -rer. ill housed ; they were half starved i tney were elbowed, tworn at, ami generally tyranized over by all handt, trom the captain to the cook's male ; and in heavy weather, when the hatches were rtcttened down, ihcy wen almost suffocated. Yet they were belter o't than the "v'ors, who were not only equally hs'f riarved, half suffocate 1, and (worn ai :>;ii w. re forced to do the treadmill w,i* of the .hip also. I r.gainej the de.k, giad to get out' of this gloomy region of crying babie* and quarreling children, and grimy groups in corners shuffling greasy cards, and women with ihawls over thtjr heads mixing flour aud water for a pudding, or conversing shrilly in provincial accents, tome looking very white indeed, and all u though it wu quite time they changed their country. At I went alon t the quarter-deck on my way to the caddy, I taw a young inn landing in the receu formed by the projection of the foremost cuddy cabins and the overhanging ledge or breaK of the poop. I looked at. him with attention ; he wu a particularly handsome young fellow, chiefly remarkable for the contrast between the lifeles* pallor of his face and the vitality of his large bright dark eyes Hi* htir wu cropped cli.se in military fuhion ; he wore cloth cap with a naval peak. Hi drees wu a loose monkey jacket and blue cloth trouieri cut in tho ffowmj nautical style. On the beach of Smitntea or tho sands of Kamsgate he mUht have passed for a yachtsman ; on the high seas, and on the deck of a full-rigged ship, with plenty of hairy tailor, about to compare him with, nothing mo rial oould have looked leu nanlical. I paused when in Ihe cuddy to glance at him again throjgb ihe window. He leaned in the corner of the nceas, with his arms clasped upon his breast, and hi* tine and peaking eye. fixed upon the blue line of the horizon that wa* visibl. abov. the lee bulwark rail. My gaz. had lighted upon many face., whil.t I looked over the ship, but on none had it lingered. It lingered now, and 1 wondered who the youlh wu. His age might hav* been twenty. Hand- some he was,u I have said, but lit* expret- ion w** hard, almost tierce, and certainly repellent. Whilst I watched him, hi. lip* twilched or writhed three or four time*, and exposed a grin of Bathing white teeth thl wu anything but mirthful, I can sssure you. His olothes were good, hit appearance refined, and I concluded that b* wu one of the cuddy passengen who had come on board at (irtvasend. H. turned his fac. and saw me looking, and instantly ma le a slep which carried him oat of light pait th. cuddy projection. The itewar I oanr* up out of the iteerag. al thi* moment, aoJ, wishing to know who WM m the ship, I asked him to peep through the door and tell me vlio tho melancholy ^ gjg^hvw ^ ~-~-*V"^ Mfe^W-*J.V I clolhes was. Tie popped bis head out, ana "H.'s a g.ut named John Burgets, on. of the steerage people. H occupies the foremost cabin to itarboard, betide the foot of Ihem steps," said he, pointing lo the h.tch. "Is he alone in the ship?' said 1. "All alon*, lir." " Where do ihoeo iteeragt people take th.ir meal.?" "Why, in th. steerage, at th* table that top. short abr.au of your cabin."

I think we wern five days in beating clear of the Channel ; the weather then changed, he sky brightened into a clear azure deli- cately .had.d by cloud., a .oft wind bl.w out of th. west, and when I made my first appearance on deck I found the .hip clothed n swelling canvu from truck to waterway. The side-white decks "were lively with >e.ople in motion and the swaying shadow, >f th. rigging ; a number of Iadie. and gentlemen walked the poop.ind th. captain with a telescope at his eye was looking at a mall steamer that wait parsing us at about a mile with a color Hying; ('amain and Mrs. Norton- Savage stood beside him, alio look- ngat ths iteamer ; tin- foam spun along he ship's side in wool-white wreath*, and very bubble shone like a bit of rainbow ; nd the streak of the veuel'i wake gleamed pon the flow linn, of the ocean ulern a* hough the trailed a length of mother ni- joarl.

More than three hundred years, ago. in the reign ol Klizabetu, the idea of reaching China ny sailiug round the northern coatt of \merica was revived, and Martin Krob- i*her, one of the mott celebrated navigator* of his day, received the eupport of th* Queen in lilting out two small vessels to search for the " northwest passage." The larger of Frobiiher'e harks, named the lia- brivl, was of only twenty-live ton* burden, and th* other, the Michael, of twenty ton*.
