She cheered up the spirits of the men; she sang to them; she songht. to hearten them by relating stories of peril from which sea- men hsd been rescue-d. until her voice failed her; and when at last help came she hung dead. lashed in the rigging.

As a rule. I have found these women to have men t_he_wives 9f the qapfiqine. l l I There is less Opportunity now. for te- ‘ male heroism than formerly offered, be- cause owners in these days do not ap» prove of captains taking their wivw to sea with them; and large vessels which are not messenger ships daily sail with- out a hint of the soft sex to be found on hoard. In earlier times. on the oth- er hand, the skipper carried his wife to sea as a matter of courseâ€"as he took his telescope with him and his t. In the coasting-trade, particular y, the lady was a feature of the shipâ€"as much as the figure-head. You might 'eee her sitting in the companion-way with a shawl over her head. knitting, .whilst her husband, in a fur cap and long pea- coa‘t. swayed at the end of the tiller, of- ten rolling his little eyes up aloft to observe if the sails were drawing pro- perly. She also cooked in the galley for her husband. and was very useful in the cozy little cabin. She was as easy in the hurricane as in the calm, and when the groaning old hooker would be hove to in the North Sea amid a mountain-high hillow. and when the helm was lashed alee, and all hands sat in the cabin waiting for the weath- er to mend, our good lady was never known to express fear or to show her- self at all concerned for her life. These anecdotes tend strongly to prove that women. when put to it, are capable of exhibiting the enâ€" durance, spirit, and courage of the other sex in one of the hardest of all call'mgs. 07. a. young woman was broughtbe- fore the Lord Mayor. She was dressâ€" ed in sailor’s clothes, and this was her crime. She said that her father, who lived at. Whit , apprenticed her to a ship in the cue. trade called.- the May- flower, John Read, master. She had actually served {our years without her so); having been suspected. She was thirteen years old when her father bound her. At last she ran away when the ship was in the Thames and she was found in the streets dying on hunger, cold, and exhaustion. .The Lord Mayor ordered her to be clothed as a woman, and to be. takz en care of until she could be sent to her, parish. ‘â€" vâ€"vv Much about this same period. a wo- man who called herself Samuel Bundy entered on board the Prince Frederick man-of-war at (‘hatham, but ran away from her, tearing that the great crowd that formed the ship's crew would discover her sex. Still masqu- erading as a seaman, she shipped on board a merchant-vessel whose comple- ment numbered twenty hands. In due course she deserted from this ship and established herself ashore in the garb of her own sex as a work-woman. Political troubles have occasionally made women wonderfully daring m a seafaring sense. One of the most not- able illustrations is that ol' the March- umess de Boviihle. whol fled. in Septem- ber. 1792. from Dieppe in an open boat. She was clad in the habit of a sailor. and safely arrived by‘ some miracle at Brighton. to the amazement of the peo- ple at that place, which was then very fashionable. There is nothing more heroic in the Mawhionesa’s adventure than you find in her determination to escape out oi b‘rance at all risks; yet she is useful to me as an example of. women an . sea. She proves, at all events, that once upon a time a lady of high: degree, clad in male attire, fearlessly crossed the English Channel alone in a little boat. Much would be made of this even in our age of sensational adven- tare. What would we now think of a father who obliged his daughter to dress her- self up as a. boy, and then apprenticed her to the sea? You. will find the truth in this form among the records, for at thenbondon Mansion House, ‘one d_a_y‘ in vâ€"â€" --w â€"-Iuv-' "v- husband. she said, whom she dearly loved. had been reduced to beggar . and enlisted in the army after a â€" dressing a letter of tourhing farewell to her.
