I THE CRUISE OF I
THE DAWN
J :
; It Resulted Differently From What I
? Mtyht Have Been Expected. ?
? ?
J By HAROLD WINSTON :
* *
I Mm the son of a fisherman and ua>
brought up on wilt water. I lovwl It.
but was ambitious to break away from
?o simple a life ami make something of
myMlf. if not better, at least more :
prominent. I was twenty-one when,
with $100 In my pocket that I hn<l
sav^d, 1 went to New York for the
purpose of finding a position.
roeitions are not to lie hail in a mo
ment In the metropolis, and the l?e*t I
could do was to vnter my name at the
bottom of a list awaiting vacancies.
My money was being used U">, though
1 husbanded my resource*. and I l>e
ranie discouraged. Every morning I
liought a newspaper and looked over
the advertisements to see If a young
man of my description was wanted. I
finally saw one that met my case, hut
not for business. It was an advertise- j
ment for a skipper for a yacht.
I had seen enough of the crowds of
a big city. The continual whirl sick
ened me. The display of wealth aide by
side with abject misery made me long
again for the water, upon which there
anp no streets, no alleys, no dirt. True,
the vehicles on the o>-enn differ In dr
gree as throe on the laud. I had been
used to nothing lietter than a fishing
boat and was fascinated nt the Idea of
aalllng n yacht.
I inwmil the idTNtlwmmt, but
with no more ho|?e of getting the posl
tlon than 1 had of securing nny of the
clerkships for which I had applied.
Hut 1 had nn advantage In knowing
how to anil a ln)?t. while I was entire
ly Ignorant of bnslness. A few day*
nfter I mailed my letter T received nn
Invitation to mil at a dwelling In the
upper part of the city.
1 was received by a woman abont
thirty-five year* old. She replied me
from the moment I met licr. MMf at
me critically, as If siring me up fur
something besides my marine qualifica
tions. She asked me to state them,
however, and I did so. When I tolil
her I had been born and brought up
near Hath, Me.. I noticed that she
pricked np her ears, and when I addeil
that 1 knew the coast thereabout from
Portland to Mount I?esert I saw that I
had a (Tec toil her favorably.
She told me that her uncle, with
whom she lived and of whom she
had the care, was a very old man and
an Invalid. He had been falling lately,
nnd his physician had advised his
petting out Into the open. A yacht
had been purchased with a view to ;
taking him on a cruise along the New
England coast. It was rather late In
the season for yachting and she asked
me how long It would be safe and
comfortable to remain on the water
I replied that If the vessel was not too
small and was capable of being heated
it might remain In commission till the
first of No vera her. After an Interview
lasting nearly an hour, during which
she surprised me by the large salary
she would pny ?*"."><> a month- she
dismissed me. saying that when she
had decided among those who had ap
plied she would let me know.
One morning when 1 had about
given the matter up I received a note
from the lady advising my of my ap
pointment and directing me to got to
gether a crew. I got busy at once,
visited the yacht, saw that she needed
sis men and engaged them. Miss
Iiurlbert? the lady who engaged me?
procured the servants.
We sailed on the day when tourists
were returning from their outing*?
the first of 8eptemt>er? and I was di
rected to coast eastward. The only
persons al<oard were Miss Hurlbert,
Mr. Townsend. the invalid, nnd the
crew and servants. After rounding
Nantucket I was directed to steer for
Portland, where, on arrival, we put
Into the harlior and I was directed to
po ashore for mail. I brought one
letter addressed to Miss Hurlbert.
which she tore o|>en nt once, nnd Its
contents affected lier perceptibly. She
asked me to go down Into the cabin
with her where there was no one but
onr*elves-Mr. Townsend kept his
stateroom? and when we were alone
?he mid :
"Captain, are ynu a fighter?"
Surprised. I replied by Inquiring why
she asked such a question. Where
upon she told me that her uncle was
enraged In a lawsuit In which a
fortune was Involved. All his prop
erty, except his real estate, had been
tnrned Into Jewels, which were al>oard
the yacht. The move had ;>een ad
vised by his attorneys on the ground
that possession Is nine points In the
law. She had received a warning from
one In her Interest that the plaintiff
hi the rait, a gretft rascal and a very
determined man. had (rot wind of Mr.
Town?end's? or rather Miss Hurlbert's
?method of procedure and had fitted
out a yacht to follow and take the
property by force. On Id she depend
upon me In the matter?
The affair was not to my liking
and 1 gave her no Immediate reply
She followed up the question by offer
In? me f.1,000 for myself and a
thousand dollars for each one of the
crrw In case her expedition were suc
cessful, to be pnld whether there was
fighting to be done or If the scheme
could be handled peacefully. I con
sulted the crow nnd they agreed that
If I thought the matter Involved no
rascality thev would go In under my
command. The deal was made with
this proviso.
The cnntrnrt waf- no aoonpr mud*
than Mlsa Hurlbert spue me a roll of
bill* and (Wrpoted iw to *0 ashore and

plaepd stress upon this datp ahp did not

We beard of n y:?ctat called Ihe Spray,
which wo su?|>erti"d t? be the on* look
ing for us. ??urs \vn? the Dawn.
Nearly all yachts but the two hud none
out of commission, for by this time It
whs the 2S(h of (Mober. (In that date
we were concealed In n core In Penolv
acot twiy under tree* hanging from ft
cliff. Had we remained there w?
would hnve avoided a meeting with our
antagonists. The.v had tracked tin and
hnd willed past our biding place when
we were pulling out As coon aa we
did *o she turned al>ont and came for
us before the wind.
This was In the morning, .and two
hour* after noon she had outsailed m
and was within half a mile cf na In
open water. Miss Hurlbert came up to
me and with as devilish a look aa I
ever saw on any womnn'a face aaked
me If I was ready to keep my contract
with her. I wished I wan ont of It. for
I had never felt much faith In the Jus
tlce of her cause, and I feared to he
mixed nnd mix my crew In a violation
of the laws. However. I told her that
I would stand by her.
"Well, then." she an Id. "go about and
while doing ao give her a broadslflp
from the barker*."
I raised a glass to examine our en
emy and w as astonished to aee on the
after deck n woman, who ap|<eared to
be glvinc orders like the captain of a
battleship The j?*ullar1ty of the situ
ation aniaxcd me. Ilerv were f and my
crew serving under a woman while
another " _ n command of our enemy,
and we a ? ?t aliout to engage In an
illegal altercation. Nevertheless I
obeyed order*, sent a couple of men
below to work the pin*, and while
turning the yacht's noae before the
Sprny the |>ort gun wns tired, and aa
we swung round the atarl>onrd gun fol
lowed anlt. Neither shot took effect
Our enemy paid no attention to our
messengers. standing tight for na.
"To your rifles, men!** ?h<aited Mia*
Hurlbert.
Tlie men obeyed. though reluctantly,
while I stood by, wondering what
would hai>i>en next. Six rifles were
restlnir on the gunwale of the |)?wn.
while the Spray was advancing head
on. A man stood on the latter yacht'*
bow holding a paper In one hand, a
megaphone In the other. Italslng the
megaphone, he bellowed:
"You. on that yacht! Tou're wanted.
I'm the sheriff of ? county. Maine."
And holding np the pa|>er he read
through the megaphone a warrant for
the arrest of Matilda Hnrlliert.
That ended the matter for me I did
not propose to resist an arrest, though
not knowing whether the warrant and
the sheriff were genuine.
"Fire"' cried Mi?s Hurlbert to the
mm.
They looked nt me for Instruction*,
and I told thorn to lower their rifle#
The look our employer (tare me wa*
something frightful.
"There win to be but a few person*
aboard of her." I Mid. "and we are
seven men. well armed T.et ns hare a
i parley.**
Well, the upshot of the matter wa*
that Miss Hurlbert wan no relation to
Mr. Towiisend, hnt a nurse who had
not control of him and wa* trying to
tet him away where *he could marry
him. Ill* oniy child. a daughter, wa*
?iware of her object and had been en
deavoring to thwart her. Ml** llnrl
f>ert had l>een deoi'lvln* me a* to her
playing a legal game. She was simply
trying to get her rhnrge Into a position
where she could lie him up In wed
lock. She dare not go a*hore for tho
purpose, for the r^Hoe In every port
had been given order* by Miss Town
send to arrest her If she appeared. She
dare not bring a minister aboard, for
this wonld give her design away to m?
and her crew.
I pr<*ed that I and her crew wer*
not aware of her real scheme. and w?
escaped pro*ecutlon. Ml*a Hurlbert
was sent to prison for alidnctlon. M!*a
Townsend wa* so happy at her *ucce?
that she paid ua what ber enemy bad
promised na.
