It was the rare or all convict ships
that the men should be employed dur-
ing the voyage. It wasn't (or the cap-
tain to say what they should do, bnt
the matter was loft entirely in the
hands of the doctor. Dr. Haxtan
was not even posted as to this rale, hot
when the captain called his attention
to it he went below to consult the con-
victs as to their avocations. A few of
them had given these when convicted,
and they were so marked on the list
furnished by the prison authorities, but
the greater number had claimed to have
no trade whatever. The doctor could not
fail to see the contempt in which he
was held when he called the roll of dif-
feient gangs and demanded individual
occupations.
"I'm a gentleman, sir," replied the
owner of the very first name called.
"I'm the owner of the Bank of Eng-
land, but taking a trip for my health,"
replied the second.
The convicts made a joke of the
whole affair, and not one of them gave

his occupation. The doctor was in de-
spair when he returned and reported to
the captain, and the latter threatened
to transfer him to the first homeward
bound ship we met. There were valid
objections to such a course, however.
At the risk of I. iug thought tedious, 1
will explain to yon that anything out
of the routine would cancel both the
charter and insurance. The charter

out of the ship would have mixed np
affairs in a bad way even had we safely
landed every convict at Botany Bay.
No, we couldn't do that, but we could
make him sign a paper confessing his
incompetency and asking our aid and
advice, and that was the course pursued.
If everything went well, the paper
would not be used against him. If we
had trouble, it would be brought for-
ward to protect our interests.
As soon as the document was signed,
sealed and delivered Captain Clark be-
gan to look after the convicts. He had
them on deck, one by one, and as they
stood before him he said to each in turn:
"Now, then, what do you wish to
turn your hand to? We shall have tailor-
ing, shoemaking, cutting, knitting, car-
pentering, blacksmithing and sail mend-
ing."
The first man impudently replied
that he would prefer to drive an omni-
bus, but he was off for the "brig," or
dark hole, before he had finished the
sentence. The second was sent to keep
him company, while the third, who re-
plied that he would like to sail the Hin-
du out and back, was tied up to the
gratings and given ten lashes on his
bare back. The remainder of the gang
made the discovery that Captain Clark
was a man who would stand no non-
sense, and each made his choice of oc-
cupation. The government sent cloth
and leather with each ship to be worked
up, and the carpenter work, black-
smithing, etc., were for the bene. of
the craft herself.
"W&TW* sBall do," replied
Clark, "will be to oentlnua tba voyaga
If we meet an inward bound ship and
any of you want to return, I will refund
your passage money. While I acknowl-
edge that the doctor la not the right
man in the right plaoe, be is ioing bet-
ter every day and will soon work into
the harness. By the time we reach the
Cape we shall have no fault to find with
him. As for the convicts, tbey have got
a taste of what I am made of, and a few
days bencc will see them as mild as
lambs. Aside from the perils of the sea,
I guarantee to land every soul of you
on Australian soiL"
There was some muttering and com-
plaining, but the people soon came to
think better of it, and thus the affair
ended. From his being in charge of the
guard, Hooper had privileges not ac-
corded to the others. The fact that he
was strongly against the protest was
brought to ipy attention. He had a
dozen arguments at his tongue'a ei^d to
the captain's one. Indeed others bo-
Bides myself remarked on his overzeal-
ousness. One might argue from this
that he had no fear of the situation and
was anxious that the voyage should not
be interrupted, but I could not help
ask myself if he had not some other ob-
ject in view. If he was the traitor re-
ferred to in the note, then to turn back
would upset all his plans. Tho affair
was soon over, however, and for three
or four days everything ran smoothly.
On the afternoon of the third day we
sighted an inward bound craft, aud
Captain Clark went among the passen
gers to ask if any desired to be trans
shipped. No one wanted to go, and we
dipped our tlag in salute, asked to be
reported and drove on.
Up to this time only two of the gangs
had got to work. The 15 men of the
second gang had claimed to be painters,
blacksmiths and the like, and we could
give them no work on deck until fairly
at sea and everything was shipshape for
the long voyage. Ben Johnson was in this
gang, and I have no doubt that the men
acted under his instructions in giving
in their occupations. It was a plan to
bring them all on deck, you see, and so
make it the worse for us. Work they
must, however, and in due time they
were brought up and assigned to diffei-
ent tasks. The rule was that no two
should work together, and that there
should be no conversation. In the
course of a fortnight Dr. Haxton pulled
himself together in wondeiful shape to
save liis reputation, but one who studied
him closely could not fail to make out
that he was lacking in nerve. H thi9
lack was apparent to the captain and
myself, it most have also been to the
shrewder cf the convicts, and to at least
the officer of the guard. We were look-
ing to see them test him, and after Cap-
tain Clark hud somewhat retired him-
self the test was applied. Ben Johnson
We had been
at soa about three weeks, and No. 2
gang was on deck from 1 to 4 o'clock in
the afternoon. Johnson was acting as
mi assistant to the ship's carpenter, and,
although his demeanor was sulky and
sullen, no fault could be found with
him. It was 8 o'clock, and the captain
was iialeep, and I had charge of the
deck. The guards were scattered about
amci g the convicts, while one watch
of tuu crew was below. All of a sudden
Johnson laid down tho tool he was
working with, folded his arms and de-
clared to the doctor, who was oversee-

CHAPTER VI
PAS8ENQER9 AND GUARDS.
As the passengers and guards were
all brought into the great trouble which
ultimately fell upon the Hindu, the
reader should at least be introduced to
them. The one single man was named
Haskell. He was about 22 years of age.
and a farmer by occupation. I at first
took him for a stupid lout, and all oth-
ers were inclined to make him a butt of
ridicule, but you will see that his looks
belied him. There were four married
couples—Williams, Roberts, Saunders
and Smith. Williams, as you know,
was Mary's father. The others I knew
nothing about, except they were fair to
do people who were going out to the
Colony in hopes to better themselves.
The two single women had been serv-
ants in England and were Miss Foster
and Miss White. There were thus 12
adults, while Roberts had two children,
Smith three and Saundere one, makiug
up 6 more, or 18 passengers in all.
The names of the seven guards were
Hooper, Larkins, Green, Tobias, Rich-
mond, Tannehill and Martin. All were
English or American, and all claimed
to be men out of work and at least semi-
respectable. Hooper was the ex-sergeant
and in charge of the gang. He was bet-
ter dressed than the others and was
likewise a keen, sharp looking man. I
can't say that I mistrusted the man
from the outset, but after reading the
anonymous note handed aboard by
strange bands I looked over the seven
and made np my mind that Hooper was
the man to keep an eye on. He had a
great gift of gab, as I soon discovered,
and his position would likewise give
him a certain influence.
Very little occurs on board a ship, no
matter how large she is or how many
passengers she carries, which does not
become common talk within a few
hours. The doctor's incompetency leak-
ed oat after two or three days, as also
did the fact of Captain Clark taking
charge at the convicts. The punishment
of the two prisoners was a public affair
and witnessed by all except the women
and children. These things, as yon may
suspect, created no little anxiety among
the passengers, and we had only been
five days out when tbey drew up and
signed a paper requesting the captain
to return to port, declaring their belief
that their lives would be imperiled by
an outbreak before the bark had been a
.f«Jui*ht at
"I'll not do another stroke of work."
ins all, that he would not do another
stroke of work oil the voyage. The doc
tor walked straight up to him and
bravely said:
"I give you one minute to make up
your mind whether you will return to
your work or take a flogging!"
"I'll not do another stroke of work,
and you can flog and be hanged to you!"
shouted the convict.
The two men stood looking into each
other's eyes for half a minute. Then
Dr. Haxton began to grow white around
the lips and presently said in a coaxing
way:
"Come, now, but I want no trouble
with you. Return to your work or
shall have to call the captain."
By this time I bad been made aware
of the situation and at once advanced
upon tho pair. Two of the sailors had
seized muskets from the rack at the
mainmast and also advanced.
"What's wrong here?" I demanded as
I came to a stop at the workbench.
"He refuses to go on with his work,"
replied the doctor.
"Is it so?" I asked of Johnson.
"No," replied the man after a few
seconds' hesitation. "I've changed my
mind on that tcore."
He picked up his plane and resumed
work, and that was the end of it—that
is, he bad accomplished his purpose.
He had tested the doctor and found him
lacking in courage. The right sort of a
man would have called for guards and
irons and bad Johnson's back bared to
the lash in no time. Dr. Haxton flat-
tered himself fhat he bad overawed the
convict, but I caught a smile on John-
son's face, which plainly exhibited his
contempt for the man's want of nerve.
It was thereafter settled in his mind
and in the minds of all the other convicts
that nothing was to be feared from the
doctor. The affair had to be passed over,
but there wsa a note of warning in it
It was begun and ended in a minute,
and only three or four of the passengers
happened to be on deck at the time.
One of these was Haskell, though I had
not noticed him. Half an hour later he
found opportunity to say to me:
' 'I suppose yon oould depend on the
guards in case of trouble with the pris-
oners?"
"I hope ao," I replied.
"I was wondering a bit," ba said as
he looked around in a stupid way.
"Did yon notice anything peculiar?"
"It might be peculiar and it might
not. I happened to be looking at Hooper,
and I aaw him wink at Johnson as you
* to oome^ forward. What's tba
nipples?"
"What do yon mean?'
"I mean that J took notice of four
muskets which oould not have been fired
if there was need of it"
The seven guards did not have watch
and watch with the sailors. During the
day all were on duty, and at night two
of them were posted below aa sentinels
and relieved by others every two hours.
As soon aa I could get a ward with the
doctor I told him about the muskets.
He went forward in a careless way and
looked arornd and returned to report
that every musket was properly capped.
This did not lead me to argue that Has-
kell had been mistaken. On the con-
trary, I was satisfied that the caps had
been alyly replaced when there was no
longer any danger. They could not hav
been removed by accident There wt
evidently an understanding between a
portion of the guards that they would
not fire upon the prisoners in case of an
outbreak. I carried the matter to the
captain, as was my duty, and he was
for raising a row at once. I argued with
him that as we had no positive proofs
the trap would be sprung too soon, and
he finally gave in and agreed to play a
waiting game.
Now for the first time I began to size
up each one of the guards. I had hired
them all, and at the time they had
struck me as being a very decent lot of
men. As I looked them over now I won-
dered at my lack of perception. Aside
from Larkins, who bad the cut of s
cunning rascal, there were three men
who had the hangdog look of villains.
I couldn't bring myself to admit that I
had ever engaged them, and after a lit-
tle reflection I solved the puzzle. Three
of the men I had engaged had been re-
placed by these three, probably being
paid to make the exchange. I had en-
gaged a one eyed man, for instance. I
remembered that another had a long
scar on his cheek. A third bad fiery red
hair and yellow front teeth. Not one of
those men was on board, and yet others
had assumed their names.
I was now ^perfectly satisfied that a
plot had been hatched ashore for the re-
lease of the convicts, nnd that at least
four of the guards were in it, but I said
nothing to the captain. I did take Has-
kell into my confidence, however, and
from that hour very little took place on
deck or below that escaped our atten-
tion.
I have said nothing thus far about
Mary Williams and her parents. As a
matter of fact, the girl herself was so
upset the day she came aboard that she
kept her cabin for a week. It was hard
liijfH in flying from disgrace to find her-
self penned up with the villainous cause
thereof, and when she finally came on
deck she was so pale and thin that I did
not at first recognize her. Fortunately
for the family no one on board connect-
ed them with the unfortunate affair at
Dudley, and that was certainly a matter
for congratulation. Upon my first meet-
ing with Mary she made a strong effort
to repress her emotion as she gave me
her hand and said:
While we are both sufferers from
the same cause I wish to ask your for-
giveness that a—a friend of mine should
have brought the trouble upon you."
I was much embarrassed—more so
than she was—over the situation, but I
managed to tell her that she had no
need of excuses and that I was sorry
for her troubles and had already forgot-
ten mine. We could congratulate our-
selves on having come out of the affair
with flying colors, and yet I could not
fail to see that she had taken the matter
deeply to heart. Through no fault of
hers she had brought sorrow to her par-
ents and a smirch upon her own repu-
tation. The fact of her loving and being
betrothed to such a villain at all, and
especially in opposition to her parents,
had given the public gossips a chance
to deal her rcmo hard blows.
I told you 1 was in love with Mary
Williams, but as to her having any feel-
ing for me beyond what the situation
might be expected to bring out I make
no claim. After being dealt such a blow
no sane man could expect her thoughts
to turn to love. Change of scene and
lapse of time might work in my favor,
and I must be satisfied to wait. What
bothered me just then, however, was to
know just how she felt toward Ben
Johnson. As a proud and honest girl
her affection for him must have been
dealt a terrible blow, but we all know
that a girl will sometimes cling to an
unworthy man in a maimer to fill every-
body with amazement. My desire to
learn her feelings was soon gratified.
She asked after him—how he was con-
ducting himself and what sort of record
had followed him on board from the
prison, and when I answered her she
continued:
"lam appalled when I look back and
realize how blind I was, though the
villainy in his nature never revealed
itself to any one until that terrible
night. I believe it was pity I gave him
moro than love. I cannot help but pity
him now, even though the sight of him
fills me with honor. "
Whenever Johnson's gang was on
deck, the fellow always had his eye out
for a sight of M;uy, but as soon as she
understood the routine she remained
below and out of si^Lt. From the hour
of his coming aboard I had never caught
his eye, but yet I had never come near
him that all tho devil in his soul did
not appear in his face. I fully realized
his deadly hatred, and had no doubt
that his burning desire for revenge
would fill his head with plans of revolt

Texas is a cosmopolitan state,
but native Americans predomin-
ate. The negro population of the
state is small compared to other
southern states and the "race
problem" cuts no figure here. The
state is settled largely with immi-
grants from different parts of the
Union, those from the southern
and western states predominating
lawb.
The laws of Texas are made for
her own people and are the most
liberal, equitable and just any-
where.
homestead laws
Are the most liberal, and her col-
lection laws the most lenient to be
found in any state in the Union.
These laws not only provide
against misfortune, but give the
family a guarantee against waste
ful^extravagance and bad manage-
ment on the part of the husband.
The following extracts from the
state constitution will give an idea
of the protection which the state
throws around a family:
"Art. 17, Sec. 49. The legisla
ture shall have power, and it shall
be its duty, to protect by law from
forced sale a certain portion of the
personal property of all heads of
families, and also of unmarried
adults, male and female.
