THE ALABAMA'S
PIRATE CHICK
How Crock y Dixon Hunted a
Ship In a Fog.
By KINGSBURY WELCH.
I ICOfyrtglu. UMl by American iYvss Auu
ctattoa-J
Tberv *?* durtug the civil war ae>
crai Confederate pilvateera fltted out
to prey uu American tvuuuw?. The
moat important of the** were the Ala
btrnt and I be Florida. Tb? former,
commanded by an en official of the
lulled State* navy, literally swept our
Merchant marine, which at thut time
had taken the lead in tbe world's car
rying trade, from tbe seas.
IJiapbaei U. Seuuaes was the captain
of tbe Teasel, which was often dubbed
a pirate, and when she waa sent to
tbe bottom in Cherbourg harbor by
tbe Kearsarge she left a successor in
a real pirate, ooe that floated tbe akull
and matsbooea Instead of tbe stars
and tiara.
The hirtb of this offshoot, for which
Tamntuia would have been an appro
priate uiiue, waa iu this wise. There
waa among the crew of the Alabama,
which waa made Up of the most des
perate tueu of all nations, one named
DiSoo. lie la aaid to have been a mild
mannered man. slender and delicate
looking. but aa bloodthirsty f s a tiger.
He was called Crocodile i>ixon. the
aartiaine beta* abbreviated to Crocky.
In liitiS tbe Alabama visited the Indian
arrhipe;ufo IHson deserted and set
up in the buaioesw oi piracy on bia own
account.
Ue succeeded in getting a small
?rhooner. w ha h be named the Semmea
in honor, or, rather, dishonor, of bia
, old commander. armed her, gathered a
crew a?i' b aa could easily be picked
up in that region of pirates and pro
ceeded in ii hi - If master of ev
erjtbiui that floated except men-of
war. frtm which he scudded away aa
teat a a sjils would carry bltu. Piracy
has always tm-a In vojrue in that part
of tbe wor'.d. a-id Malay pirates have
often figured iu stories of luckless trav
eler*. who have been forced to walk
the plank At any rate, Crocky LHxon
concluded to make it bia field.
On- evening Crocky Dixon sat on
the d. - k of the Semmea puffing a
clpr and watching a big ship maneu

raring to (ret out of tbe strait be
fore the dark sl*>uld eouie on and pre
vent her doing so. Tbe pirate resern
61?-d a spider watching some clumsy
insect setting itself entangled in a
web. Lnxon lay perfectly stili. con
fident that tbe big sbip. un wieldly In
tbe narrow strait, would fall into bis
bands iVrb*i? tbere were otber ves
sels in sight whose attention be did
not care to attract; perhaps be pre
ferred tbe morning for tbe capture.
At any rate, be made do more to set
up ilia anchor and carefully avoided
displaying any evidence of tbe charac
ter of tbe Semtnes
Tbe ship be watched was the Mary
Blake of Philadelphia She had been
to Japan with a cargo for that coun
try and was making ber way back
with Japaue?e goods for America. Be
sides ber crew were a number of pas
sengers. in ludlue women and chil
dren Captain Archer, a young man
who bad Uvo promoted from mate,
was ber commander. Lie had recently
been married, and his wife was
aboard
Now. tbe captain had been in these
waters before and knew its dangers.
As soon as be espied the low cat
ac hooter lying at anchor so quietly be
sas]ie?-ted ber This is why be risked
fxftiog his ship aground on tbe rocks
before nightfall in order to make tbe
open an. He had a pilot, but the air
was murky, and be was afraid of fog.
if tbe schooner were really a pirate
be might better sink his abip than fall
a prey to ber On tbe other hand, if
a foe came on It might conceal tbe
ahip from tbe pirate.
While be was debating tbe chances
a mist settled down which soon con
cealed tbe two vessels from each Oth
er Dtxoo before tbe Mary Blake was
bidden bad noted her position so that
be would be able to steer for her In
esse tbe fog protected ber for too long
a time to accord with bis Interests.
Captain Ar her. who had anchored
seeing tbe necessity of changing bis
position, raised tbe anchor and pertnit
' ?"? ? ijms^*?. *?
ted th? tide to carry htm half a mile
dowu. wheu. not daring to risk utrik
tut: something by going farther, be an
chored ag-tlo.
When darkuess fell the Semrnes was
still iu b?-r original position, while the
Mm ry Blake was half s tulle away
fiviu where Crocky Dixon supposed
?be was. Durlug the uight Captalu
Archer thought It expedient to lufortn
both bis crew and bis passengers of j
the danger. if the scboouer he bad
seen was a pirate, as soon as the fog
lifted he would eome for them. And
if it did uot soon lift he might not wait
for It to uo so. The captain therefore i
directed that not a light should appear
on the ship and there should be no
noise aboard to indicate to the pirates j
that the two vessels were near each
; other.
Not a person aboard the Mary Blake 1
slept that night except the children
who were too young to understand the j
terrible danger that threatened them. |
! The captalu told them that there was
little danger of belug attacked at j
night and that they bad better get
i what rest they could, since they might ,
need all their fortitude in the mornlug.
No change In the weather came with
the dawn. The fog remained, and |
there was uo wind. Dixon ordered j
out a boat's crew to pull the Sernmes
toward where be had last seen the |
Mary Blake. But the ship was not i
where he had last seen her. Knowing j
I that since she could not hare moved j
up she must have moved down, he dl- j
rected the oarsmen to pull down- i
1 stream.
It was about 4 o'clock In the I
moruing that officers, crew and passen- j
gers of the Mary Blake? the juissen- '
gers herded together In groups ou deck
?caught the sound of oars working in i
rowlocks. Every cheek blanched. The j
women gathered their children in their j
arms as If to shield them. But no one 1
uttered even a moan lest the sound
should betray tbem. Captain Archer .
leaued over the bulwarks, listening In
tently. What arms there were aboard !
had been brought up and placed on !
deck, with the Intention that If board- j
ed the men would sell their lives as
dearly as possible, but as to making a
successful defense. It was not consld- ^
end. As the sound grew more dis
tinct. indicating that the boat was ap >
preaching, the captalu turned and, fac
lug the terror stricken people on deck,
put his finger on his lips to enjoin !
I
All could hear the sound of oars
working slowly, indicating to the ex
perienced ears of Captain Archer that
a boat was towing souie craft larger
thau Itself. Then there was a sound j
i of an oar slipping from a rowlock.
! Some greenhorn had "caught a crab."
The nest iustant there came over the
water frightful oaths and the crack of j
a pistol. Crocky had first sworn at j
and then shot the man who had slip
lied his oar.
This was quite enough to indicate to
those on the Mary Blake the awful j
fate in store for them in case they ;
were found by the pirate. The men j
drew long breaths. The women put
wraps about the children's heads, fear- |
ing that they might cry. Not a sound
escaped, and in a few minutes it was !
eTident that the pirates had missed
(hem.
But it was not to be expected that
the search was ended. Crocky would
i continue it as long as the fog lasted, i
and when it lifted they would be at
i his mercy. Many were the prayers J
whispered that Providence might In- :
terpose between them and the horrors ;
awaiting them. All now hoped that the |
fog would continue, that the expected j
massacre or walking of the plank, j
whichever it might be, should be de- i
ferred as long as possible. Then, too,
the longer the fog lasted the more hope
that somethlug might occur to change
' the situation.
There were no further indications of J
! the presence of the pirate for an hour, j
j The fog was getting thinner, and it ?
was plain that it might at any mo- ;
i incut be possible to distinguish through
It objects at a fair distance. Then '
ame another terror for those aboard
the Mary Blake. The sound of oars
was again heard, this time more
rapid. Indicating that they were not j
' tow ing. Then through the dissipating
mist was seeu a boat pulled by six [
<>an>men. As soon as they espied the j
Mary Blake they set up a blood cur- j
dllng shout. Besting on their oars,
they began to look about them for the
Semmes, which they had evidently left j
In the prosecution of their search.
And now with the suddenness of up- j
lifting fogs this one vanished, giving
! place to bright sunshine. The rowboat
was a cable's length from the Mary
lilake, the Semmes was half a mile
? beyond the rowboat, and two miles
above .i as a ship coming down with
the tide, which had just turned. A
light breeze filled her sails. But the
most gladdening sight of all was the
square openings along her sides for
guns, indicating that she was a man
of-war, and more cheering than all
was the stars and stripes streaming
from the peak.
To the men in the boat the sight of
this new ship was as terrifying as It
was gratifying to those on the Mary
Slake. They pulled frantically to the
Semmes, whose crew, having seen the
sluht, were getting up sail. Having
taken aboard the boat's crew, they
slipped their cable and made off to the
southward at an angle with the course
<?f the man-of-war. By the time the
latter received the signals that the fly
ing schooner was a pirate It was too
late. She had got into waters where
:be armed vessel could not follow her.
Then those on the Mary Blake fell
on their knees and gave thanks for
their escape.
Crocky Dixon met his end while pur
sued by a United States gunboat.
When it was evident that be would be
tak n he fired a shot Into hla own
? brain.
