§ 0 44 halfâ€"hour in which he dangled. _ The crowd looked on; what the group of men were trying to effect they might have guessed ; but whether the criminal should be ultimately saved or immediâ€" ately throttled was all the same to the mob, as it was spparently to the sheriff. It was an execution anyway; this was the sigzht that the le of Deal and Sandwich and adjacent gamlels had covâ€" man in black had conversed with gathâ€" ered round the suspended figure in such a way as partly to support it. The sheriff, conversing with the hangman, looked away ; no notice was taken of the action of these people, for it was a common custom in those days for friends of a malefactor to gather about him after he had been turned off, to shore him up, and to do their best to keep him from strangling during the The cart rolled up to the gibbet, and the constables and helpers drove the crowd into a circle round it. It was thought that York would make a speeg:. but he held his peace, never looking up. His arms were pinioned ; the hangman hbitched the end of the rope round his neck; the chaplain prayed earnestly and devoutly ; the crowd held their breath, and not a sound broke the dreadful stillness saving the dreary sweep of the wind over the sandbills and the seething and hissing of the breakers rising and falling upon the shingles. The sheriff then gave the signal ; the driver who held the horse‘s head started the animal, the cart rolled away, and left Jeremy York hanging. t Wineniie. M Bc Plcmsssagâ€"muss . But scarce bhad he swung to an erect posture under the gibbet, when it was observed that the hangman had not alâ€" lowed for his considerable structure; his toes touched the ground ; but ere the crowd comwd well distinguish this, the group of men whom the veiled woâ€" ear ; he had only spoken once since he had entered the cart, and that was to say to the ordinary: "Sir, before God I am innocent." All the while he lay waiting for the day of execution he had said no more. a mile shore. The procession was in view ! a horse and cart, in which were wated York the malefactor, the chapâ€" ain of the jail exhorting him, and ‘he hangman sitting behind, with his egs over the edge, fortifying his spirits with a sly dram from time to time from a flat bottle which he drew from his pocket, for this wasacountry pageant with nothing but rooks, and here and there a farmyard laborer, as sightseer; no . crowded proirass. â€"such as that from Newgate to Tyburn or Newcastia i’ail to the town moor. _ On one side of he cart walked the sheriff, on the other three constables, one of whom was Budd and a small detachment of helpers after the pattern of the oneâ€"eyed man. Jerâ€" emy York sat cold and silent, gray as tobacco ashes, habited in the clothes he wore when taken ; he held his eyes bent downwards; his iips were compressed into two bloodless lines : he %uve no heed to the chaplain, who mumbled in ~his & veil, came to the seadfast group of men, conversed with them for a few minutes, then broke away sobbing passâ€" ionately, and was seen to walk hurriedâ€" ly in the direction of Sandwich. _ It was whispered amongst the crowd that she was Jenny Bax, the murderer‘s sweetheart ; and several females who recognized her as she walked away, exâ€" claimed that, for all her mourning and veils, she could not but be an un(eelin% person to come and view the gibbe where her sweetheart was to be strangâ€" led, even if she had not made up her mind to witness the whole scene from behind one of those sandhills she was skirting in such a hurry. A little before eleven o‘clock, a murâ€" mur ran through the crowd like the ory gi a wave breaking aslant along In the days in which Jeremy York flourished, the gibbet was a much less convenrtional detail of the civilisation of the century than the gallows now is. Pirates and bioodâ€"stained smugglers were, to be sure, hanged in chains upon gallows erected on Thames mud.

There One might have noticed however, that imongst the people who lingered in the immediate vicinity of what used to be called the fatal tree was a knot of some eight or ten persons, whom the least observant eye might have suspected were present from a motive that had but little reference to curiosity.

Indeed, it took rather the form of a pursuit, for, when first seen, she was apparentâ€" ly heading to the northâ€"west; but scarceâ€" ly had the West Indiaman to the first of the breeze trimmed yards for the northâ€"east, than the stranger was obâ€" served to also haul her wind. a ship climbing the shining slope to the impulse of a breeze; but it was not unâ€" til her royals were trembling like stars above the horizon, with nothing else unâ€" der them showing, that the people of the City of Glasgow caught sight of the line of the wind dnrkoninf the waters in the southâ€"west. In half an bour‘s time it was blowing into the canvas of the West Indiaman, raising a pretty tinkling sound of running waters all around ber; and though it came warm as the human breath, yet, after the long spe‘l of hot and tingling calm, it put a seuse of coolness into each fevered cheek turned gratefully to the quarter whence it came.

It was time, indeed for the wind to blow. The mere deâ€" tention was nothing in those pleasant times of grop'mg. En cooler climes the mate would have been satisfied to whis tle for wind for a month, and go beâ€" ; low every time his watch was up with a feeling that he had done everythmg that was necessary, and that all was we‘ll.

Draught of air!" he muttered under his breath with a look of loathing in his eyes as he made them meet in a squint upon the compass card. But the mate was right on one side of his remark, at all events. What the fellow aloft had sighted proved to be ‘‘Don‘t talk of a draught of air, sir," said the captain passionately;: what we want is wind,air, a fresh breezeâ€"a gale "It is some craft," said the mate, "that may be bringing a draught of air along with her." "Right astarn," was the answer of the man, swinging with one hand from the tie as he pointed with the other directâ€" ly over the taffrail to the gleaming haze of seaâ€"line there. ‘*Well," said the skipper, "that should be a sign there‘s wind _ somewhere about." It was halfâ€"past eight o‘clock in the morning watch; the hands had come up from breakfast and were distributed on various jobs about the deck. There was not a breath of air; but there was a run of %Ia.ss'y folds from the southâ€" west, which within the past hour had somewhat increased in weight; and upâ€" on these longâ€"drawn heavings, the sth, tbhat was a mere tub in form, as all vessels were in those days, saving, perâ€" haps, the ;lJira.tical barco longos, rolled as regularly as a pendulum iswings, swelling out her canvas to one lurch, only to bring it into the masts again at the nmext with sounds like the exâ€" plosions of nineâ€"pounders in the tops. The captain of the City of Glasgow was a small fieryâ€"faced man, with deepâ€" set eyes that glowed like cairngorms under the shaggy thatches of the brows, He was probably about to launch inâ€" to a piece of profanity, but he was inâ€" terrupted by a cry coming down from aloft, delivered by a man who had been sent on to the mainroyal yard to reâ€" pair some defect that the vigilant eye fof the boatswain had detected: "‘Sail ho!" The little fieryâ€"faced captain started and looked as if he scarcely credited his bhearing; then running to the rail, he thrust his head clear of the awning and ba\:\:I‘gdLup to the fellow, "Where away?" a nose that not a little resembled a small carrot both in shape and hue, and a mouth with a set of the lips that inâ€" dicated a highly peppery tem&:er. He walked to the mate, who stood near the wheel fanning himself with a _ great straw hat. ‘"When is this going to end, sir ?" "I don‘t know, sir.‘ ‘‘Blood, sir!

"O man, look at me! What have I suffered rhrg')ugh you! Do not you wremember me ?" Anyone would have laughed outright to have witnessed the perplexity that lengthened yet the longdrawn countenâ€" ance of Worksop.

York staggered on to his legs, and looking at the man at first sight of whom he had appeared to have fallen crazy, he cried in | a weak faltering voice, "Your name is Worksop?t _ You were bo‘sun of a West Indiaman." a deathlike white, shiver after shiver chased his form, thay saw his fingers comvulsively working, and his eyes, fillâ€" ed with horror, dismay, fincredulity, seemed to start from their sockets with the intensity of his stare. They believâ€" ed he was seized with a fit, and would fall to the deck in a minute; and amâ€" ongst those who sprang to his assistâ€" ance was the fellow on whom his gaze was riveted. He shrieked out at his apâ€" proach, and fell upon one knee trem} ling violently, swaying to and fro, to and fro with his hn.ngs pressed to his eyes in the posture of one wild almost to madness. watching the new hands as they went forwards marshalled by the boatswain. On a sudden Jeremy York was seen to come to a dead stand with his eyes fixâ€" ed upon one of these sailors; his bundle fell from his hand, his face turned to One of these ten men was a tall handâ€" some young fellow, whom no one who had before known him could have failâ€" ed instantly to recognize as Jeremy York, spite of his assumption of the name of Jem Marioe, of his hair being cut short in front and rolled into a tail down his back, and of the hue of it, that had been a sunny auburn, beâ€" ing now whitened as though dusted with powder. He was the second of the ten men to step on board. It was not only that he was the most conspicuous of them all by reason of his stature and beautyâ€"for his frame had long since erected itsel{f into its old manly port out of the stoop and depression of ill health; he was specially noticeable besides for an air of profound indifferâ€" ence. Most of the others glanced inâ€" solemlf' and mutinously about them, savagely resent[ul of this impressment and of their liberty as merchant seamen being abruptly ended without regard to wages, to cherished hopes, to their homes, their wives, their sweethearts, their children ashore. A number of the ship‘s crew stood near the mainmast The little captain fully understandâ€" ing the significance of this order, was about to remonstrate, but seemed to change his mind on catching the glance that was shot at him from under the seemingly sleepy lid of the languid, perâ€" fumed seaâ€"dandy, and repeated the lieuâ€" tenant‘s order to hbis mate Lurnuxg sulkily on his heels afterwards, an started off into a sharp fiery walk beâ€" twixt the binnacle and the mizzen rigâ€" ging. The boatswain‘s pipe shrilled to the silent hollows of the canvas aloft; the men stood along the deck, and the lieuâ€" tenant with six armed seamen at his back fell to picking and choosing. The manâ€"ofâ€"war wauleg twenty men to comâ€" plete her complement, and of these the Indiaman must contribute ten. There was no help for it; and the little capâ€" tain had presently the mortification to witmess ten of his best seamen descend the side with their bundles and bags and enter the boat, which forthwith carried them aboard the fiftyâ€"gun ship. "Pon honour!" exclaimed the lieutenâ€" ant, "you deserve that we should have sunk â€" you." _ He applied the scented pocketâ€"handkerchief to his nose, as though he could not support the smell of the hot pitch and blistered paint risâ€" ing into the atmosphere from off the Indiaman, and exclaimed in a voice as if he should swoon, "Muster your men, sir, and for the Lud‘s sake be quick about it." o The boat plunged from the manâ€"Oofâ€" war‘s side; a crowd of sturdy fellows armed to the teeth jumped into her; a young marine exquisite with a hanger on his hip and a cambric pocketâ€"handâ€" kerchief in his breast, his laced hat airâ€" llfv cocked upon his head, and a flash of jewels upon his fingers, took his place in ‘the sternsheets, and ‘with a few sweeps of the long oars, the boat was alongside.

Occasionally some unfortunate wretch falls in, and is fished dripping out on the gaff of a companion. His othes are frozen stiff in a few seconds, but he doesn‘t stop. _ The seals by this time are thorough.y alarmed, and it is imâ€" portant to reach tham as quickly as Yossihl». A seal‘s vital point is his nose. t is on that organ that the attack is made, . One hlow of the "bat" usually kills, sometimes, however, an old aniâ€" mal offers a hard and dangerous fight. The men burry about their work of exeâ€" culion with energy, abated only after the last of the living seals has escaped into the water. The victims are then skinned and the pelts heaped together in stacks, surâ€" mounted by the ensigns of _ their reâ€" speciive ownerships. These stacks by When at length seals are sighted the word is passed down from the masthead as quistiy as possible. Old seals may be disiurbed by a shout at a distance of miles; further reason for _ caution exâ€" ists if the observer is within hearing of other ships. In the latter case the first ship edges around towards the seals by a circuitous route, intended to throw others oif the track. Meantime orders are issued forbidding any one to show hbhis head above the rail. _ The slightest _ carelessness will cause the game to disappear into the water.

Anoiher part of the preparation is the division of the ship‘s crew, 200 or 800 in number, into four watches. Each is put under command of a master of watch, and is organized into _ boats‘ crews and other smiaill divisions for the performance of the _ various _ duties aboard ship. _ It is the perfection of these deiails and _ organization that brings a ship‘s work to the frictioniess system that is a landsman‘s constant surprise, tiveâ€"sleep. â€" But the conditions of a sealing cruise are such that this, in a great measure, must be denied. _ lAdd the rigour of constant exposure to the most extreme cold, and you have a parâ€" tial summary of a sealer‘s discomforts, In the latter part of February the great herd of about half a million seals has come south as far as the latitude of the Straits of Belle Isle.
