We follé@w in his flight ; Farewell awhile to hiin and thee, My native land—Good night ! Byron. / Among all those on board the Polly, next ‘to the Captain, the most important person- ‘age was Sandy, the Earl’s agent. He had fought the King’s battles in Ireland, had | been wounded in actual warfare, and now ‘received the King’s pay. He had twice \crossed the great ocean on which they were afluat; had spent some years in the un- - known country to which they were bound ; land above all, he was believed to stand high in the good graces of the landlord ‘they left behind, to whom they were ac- customed all their lives to pay a deference due only to superior beings. Besides all this, he was known to be a man of reading ; he had stwélied the great books of the com- mon law ; he had read the Scriptures, if not for the purpose of regniating his life | by their sublime precepts, atleast to furnish his mind with texts fer controversy. He was known to have beaten the minister in one of the ‘outlying parishes of Galloway, in an argument on predestination and the final perseverance of the saints ; and none of the magistrates or baillies of Kirkcud- bright would venture to discuss a point of Scottish or British law with the learned tailor, and it was no wonder that he was looked up to on board the Polly by men, many of whom had never been farther from home than perhaps the pearest market town, and whose only reading was the Bible, the Shorter Cathecism and the Psalms of David.
For the first fortnight the winds were favorable. The ship made good headway and was nearing the Banks of Newfound- land. The passengers had not suffered much from-seatickness, and were for the most part in good health and spirits.
There were several Kirk elders on board, and they had religious exercises every morning and evening —-a psalm was sung, a chapter read and explained by some one of the elders, and the Divine blessing was asked fur all on board. Sandy would glad- lw have taken his turn in these devotional exercises; bnt his speech was noticed on some occasions to be a little unsavory, and it waseven quietly hinted amongst the passengers that he indulged in occasional bursts of profanity among the crew.
These deviations from the right line of devotional propriety, excluded the agent, as he was still called by his fellow-passen- gers, from taking a leading part on those oceasions. Butas he knelt with the rest and joined in the singing of the psalms, his prestige was not very materially affected; and as he quoted scripture texts with great readiness, in the endless controversies he had with the elders on board—with whom he debated morning, noon and night on the doctrine of election and kindred dificult theological subjects—he was still regarded as a man who might yet make good his claim to an inheritance among the saints.
On the evening of the 15th June, a long, low strip of cloud-like shape and bluish color was observed on the distant horizon, It extended from noithwest to southwest, and gradually faded away in the dim dis- tance, as the eye traced its course from north to south between these two points.
It was a beautiful, fine day. Many of the passengers who lingered around the decks had heard the sailors on several oc- casions talk about the Banks of Newfound- land. They, coosequently, deceived them- selves with the notion that they were now rapidly approaching the end of their voy- age; and they hastened below to communi- cate the joyful news to their relatives and friends.
The captain, however, was not deceived. A glance was sufficient to convince him that the appearance before them was nei- ther land nor cloud, but an immense field of ice drifting with the current of the At- lantic in a direction contrary to their course. He ordered all the passengers be- low; the sails were close reefed, and the light spars and top hamper of the vessel were siowed on deck; and such other pre- cautions were taken to ensure the safety of the ship as lay in his power.
About twelve o'clock, detached frag- ments of ice floated past the vessel, mere skirmishers from the main body; and by three o'clock the next morning nothing but ice could be seen ahead, astern, and on the starboard and larboard. beam.
It was one of those immense floes of ice- bergs that, starting from the Arctic regions, gradually make their way southward, where, meeting the fields of board ice that form in the estuary of the St. Lawrence, in
between the island of Newfoundland and Labrador, had amalgamated and now form- ed one immense field, stretching for leagues on the heaving bosom ef the ocean.
The captain apprehended the greatest dangers from these monsters of Ice King of the North, especially the towering icebergs, many of which lay at no
bled atthe idea of a storm arising which might at any moment dash the good Polly against their giittering sides. He accord- ingly determined to work his ship as far as possible into one of the level fields, which he was enabled to do by following a lead or
the gulf around the Island of Anticosti and |
the i
great distance from his ship ; and he trem-_
fissure that fortunately opened in the course the ship was sailing. ; Sandy was not ordered below with the other passengers, and he cheerfully Jent a hand in the preparatious for safety which were under way on deck. But even in the face of the terrible danger that threatened, his old propensity for argument could not
be suppressed, and he ventured on one or}
two occasions to question the soundness of the captain’s judgment in the orders given to the crew ; and it was only when the mate quietly hinted something about a pair of ‘handcuffs that he could be induced to obey orders, hold his tongue and work for the general safety.
| When morning broke, and the sun shone on that ice-covered sea, lighting up the towers and battlements and spires of the icebergs that lay in sight, the grandeur and novelty of the scene defied description. | Although the vast body of ice in their vicinity had chilled the air, and although itheir teeth chattered with the sudden ' change of temperature, yet such of the pas- | Sengers as came on deck stared around for a short time in speechless astonishment. The morning was calm. The wind, which ithe ice carried along in its course, had | lulled, Everything was quiet and peacefal, .excepting when some towering, glittering mass, becoming tep heavy with the wearing ‘action of the water around its base, sudden- ‘ly with a tremendous crash toppled over, ‘and, descending like an avalanche, disap- ‘peared in the shower of foam that flew from its watery bath.
In their simplicity and inexperience the ‘emigrants apprehended no danger, and when they found words, many were the ex- pressions of astonishment and delight, both in English and Gaelic, that escaped their ‘lips at the strange appearance of the sea avd the grandeur of the sun-illumined ice mountains. The captain’s face, however, wore an anxious look. He was keenly alive to allthe dangers of the situation, having narrowly escaped shipwreck under similar circumstances while on a whaling voyage to the North Seas. The glittering icebergs that elicited so many expressions of aston- ishment and delight from the simple-minded people by whom he was surrounded had no charms for him; and he distrusted the placid repose of the ocean on that fine June morning. He calculated that by twelve u’clock the wind would rise and set the whole mass in motion, and he dreaded the consequences to the ship and all on board,
Contrary, however, to his expectations the weather continued calm for several deys ; but the ship lay helpless, fast jammed in that moving continent of ice, and drift- ing along in the opposite direction to that which Jed to her destination. The captain foresaw a long and tedious voyage, even. if the ship had the good fortune to get clear of the ice. and being apprehensive that the water and provisions on board would run short, he resolved to put the crew and pas- sengers on short allowance. The agent was not consulted about this matter, and he felt hurt. The provisions had been fur- nished by the Earl, and Sandy had the superintendence of their shipment and storage at the seaport from which they sail- ed; and he thought he had a_ right to ex- ercise the same control over their distribu- tion as the captain. The fact is that be- tween the twothere was never any great cordiality of feeling; and since the night on which the ice first bore down on the vessel, the captain had not exchanged a word with him. The passengers, wearied with the de- lay, began to grumble, and Sandy plainly foresaw thot he was fast getting into trouble. He was not surprised at this, for he had read in the Bible the narration of the wanderings of the Hebrewsin the desert, and know how often they had murmured against Moses, their leader. The High- landers, who all along acknowledged the agent asa sort of leader, were becoming very impatient. They were beginning to feel uncomfortable under the stinted rations weighed out to them by the steward, and Sandy knew full well that in a short time they would turn round and charge him openly as being the cause of all their mis- fortunes. He was in a sulky hamor with the captain, who would do little to help him, and his situation was not at ali to be envied. His active mind was not long in devising a plan by which he hoped to extri- cate himself from the dilemma in which the ice blockade had placed him. True, he had not the powerto smite one of the icebergs in the neighborhood and cause fresh water to gush forth; and he was equally certain that no effort on his part would bring quails and mannafrom America, on the gentle westerly breeze that was driving the ship towards the Irish ceast. But although he could not work miracles, he had read the emigration Jaws of the British Parliament, and on these he took his stand to carry out a shrewd design which he meditated, for turning the odium with which the passen- gers began to regard himself upon the com- mander of the ship.
He had a small stateroom on board which the Ear! caused to be fitted up for his »e- commodation while the ship was waiting for the passengers at Oban; and here he shut himself up for two days, busily en- gaged in studying the Emigration and Mu- tiny Laws. From the former, he satisfied himself that the captain was acting unlaw- fully in curtailing the passengers rations; and from his reading and construction cf the latter, he was equally well satistied that he could proceed in his design with ‘impunity. | He now mixed freely with with his ifellow-passengers, and was constant in ‘his atrendance at all the devotional exer- lcises, which of late had become |‘ more fre- 'quent and fervent than before. He sym- ‘pathised with them in their complaints about the scant rations, and spoke words of encouragement both in regard to their pre- ‘sent situation and future prospects.
He thus gradually removed the hard feel-
lish,—translating commenting in Gaelic on such passages as referred to their present grievance as he went along. He harped on his theme for several days and insinuated, first, and then broadly assert- ‘ed, that the Captain was acting from in- terested motives, and in direct contraven- tion to the letter and spirit of the law.
He according!y raised a commotion among the passengers. The Captain was now the object of their suspicion and distrust; and the agent found it no easy matter to pre- vent the |,.t-headed Highlanders from breaking out into open mutiny. Fearing that matters might prove serious, he pro- posed a delegation to the cabin for the purpose of presenting a memorial asking for a redress ot grievances.
A paper, according to the ancient form of the Scottish Courts, was drawn up. It contained many quaint expressions, now obsolete, and was profusely intercollated with Latin law terms. It was the work of the agent and an old schoolmaster, who formerly presided over one of the parish schoolsgof Galloway, but who had resolved to seek his furtune with his friend Sandy, in America. The master supplied the Latin, and the agent duly set forth the grievances. The document was a formid- able one. Its ecemposition occupied the pair a whole day and night, and much ar gument and controversy were expended about the construction of the sentences and the placing of the Latin terms.
On being presented to the passengers, the memorial met with a general approval, and obtained the signature of all the lead- ing men among them.
The next question was who should con- stitute the delegation. The agent, of course, was nominated, after him the schoolmaster was named, snd then a discussion arose as whether one of the Elders or Hector Camp- bell, the piper, who claimed kinship with the McCallum More himself, would be the most eligible. The Elder, however, de- lined to act—and the kirk was not repre- sented «n that memorable occasion.
Hector consented on condition that he would be allowed to take the pipes and play ‘‘ The Campbells are Coming,’ on the march from the forecastle to the cabin. This §wild proposal was over-ruled, end
| Heetor finally consented to go as a plain
citizen emigrant.
The Captain, who had some inkling of what was going on, had the prudence to re- ceive the delegation courteously. The me- morial was read by the schoolmaster, and the laws to which it referred were duly ex- plained by the Agent. Hector does not ap- pear t have distinguished himself on this occasion. Music was his forte, and de- prived of his instrument, he was nobody. He knew but little English and less Latin, and quired ia the cabin, he merely stood by and allowed his more active andYearned co- delegates to despatch the business in hand. When the delegation had completed their task the Captain promised instant redress as soon as the ship was out of the ice; bat until then he civilly, but firmly declined in- creasing their present allowance. Some- thing about the Captain’s manner convinc- ed the agent that it would be as well for him not to push his remonstrances too far, and he took his leave, in apparent good humor, but far from feelmg satisfied. The Elders counselled patience and submission to the chief officer and the passengers soon had something else to think about.
