Five times after the bell had told that ten o'clock had passed, did he walk from the weel to tlfe rfiuinmast and back. At the sixth turn, just as he reached the rack, in which were coiled the inaintopsuil halyards, he stopped suddenly with a nervous Quickness, while the flushing o{ his eyes, and instantaneous contraction and expansion of the muscle of his face showed that a sudden and powerful Idea had shot into his mind. He resumed q-uickly his wulk, however; and the same appearance of cool thought once more rested upou his features. •11. "No" thundered Capt; Wallack, as hp drew a heavy pistol in each hand, while Faulkner did the same. "If you move the wheel a single spoke or leave the helm,, without my order, you are a dead man !

This man's name was Tom Roland, haughty and overbearing in his disposition, seeming by his general comport, to liavn been in the hubi* of com mnuding, rather than obeying, on ship board, and who had already begun to exercise a sort of control over tho Crew.— But the case was one of necessity, nnd Tom Roland was installed into th« offico of first mate, and quartered in iho cabiu.
