There 1* an event ol his seafaring days (1 which Mr. Small wood to'.dna a few deye which wUl be a surprise to his near- . eat neighbors, who never once suspected p the', ho wai, in the deys of hlacarty expcricncee as e sailor, on the coast of Africa "Blackblrdlng," as the business was known, when the slave trade was c| re gat ded aa regular traffic . It was in IMS that Jake found himself in New York without a ship. He Q but nineteen years of age, end ready , almost any voyage that promised plenty of Adventure. Walking along the North River one day, with a com- p pinion about his own age, Me attention was dire-led to a rakish looking (. cargo of notion* for where thc two roving sailor boys did not inquire. Going board they fell Into a conversation with the mate, who finally asked them fc If they didn't want to ship. Tbcy re- pi piled in the affirmativeT'Kmi-obligaled themselves to perform a voytgKin the ty clipper schooner, upon whose deckalhey Ct stood, by placing their hands uma tfcc capstan. The cargo, conalstlhg of knives, beads, bright colored \ call- <ii coe* hatobeta and gaudy ribbons, was cause o< eome guessing on the part of tt the young adventurers, hut tbey did not hi think It worth while to ask the gruff looking mate any unnecessary questions. >| The schooner was the Flying Scud, di Captain Bom, and as remarked before e 0 rmcklsh craft, with long tapering masts wind. Her hull ares painted black as a rl moonless night, end had lines of re- M marksblc beauty. In due time the Flying Scud wee cleared, end at tee when at s course was shaped off to the Eastward, a The craft did not disappoint Smallwood n and his chum for she proved a fast sailer. They were well trestcd and had _ fault to find with anything except a desire to know Just what their port of Id One fine day when the schooner waa Ic hailing off about ten milei an hour, and the big Yankee mate seemed to be bl In e remarkable good humor, they ventured to ask Mm where the "Scud" was cl going. They did not do this because tbey cared particularly, but their curl, h oslly was aroused. The mats looked di •tgnlflceolly at them, rolled a big cud of tobacco from his port to his star- * board check and then In language more d. emphatic than polite, told them the de* tlnallon of the schooner was the river tr Niger, end her object wee to trade off G the ca'go for slaves which were to be brought la Cuba end sold to the planters b of that Island. "Now you know," said tr he, 'Just see to It that I have no cause to find fault with your ready obedience tt and alacrity." The boj s bed bo other It Idea then to do their duty as tbey then d it, so there Bsver was anT complaint the whole voyage of say dereliction. In due time the Scud sailed into, end the Niger and opened communication altli the Portuguese slave traders. J Tbcy pr omtsed to exchange ea many I negroes as the captain dts red fo*-hls * rsrgo. While Il ls was going on the schooner had to be concealed from the ° vigllent picket boats of thcEaglUh men b of. war that patrolled the liTer. To effect this the mast and rigging were ° brushed to make them resemble the 1 thick tropical forest of the Niger's banks. The boats of the men-of-war ° would pass by so close that the voices " of their crews eould be heard, yet the Scud was not dicovrrcd, but succeeded In taking on board one hundred and " fifty staves, captured In the Interior of Africa, sold to the traders, and by Hunt to Capl. Boss Watching LU opportunity, the com- b mender ol the slaver slipped out of the ' liver and by the war vessels.
