, How Mr. Harding
Conducted the
Defense
By DWICHT NORWOOD
"Mr. Bard Ins," «alil Captain Wain
wright, handing his glass to his flrsi
mate, "what do yon think of thai
thing over there?"
"I think," said Harding, "that it li
one of those devilish Chinese pirates
that infest these waters."
This dialogue occurred on tlio Amer
lean tramp steamer North Star In the
Java pen, n region dreaded by mari
ners for the villainous characters whe
infest it
"What do you think of our chances
In case the.v attack tin?" asked th«
captain.
"That depends on our ingenuity. W«
can't sink them before they reach us.
We'll have to prevent their boarding
us If we can, and if they hoard us we
will have to light them for our lives."
"How can we prevent their board
ing usV"
"By so manning the points they at
tempt to climb that they can't get on
deck. One American sailor armed
■hould be able to keep off three China
men from climbiug a perpendicular
ship's side. But excuse me, captain
I see that the villains are pointing for
us; I must go below nud order up
the arms."
Harding left the captain peering at
the Junk. It was a small vessel, small
er than the North Star, but iU deck
was literally swarming with copper
colored llends ready for loot and mur
der. It had no ordnance of any cali
ber; It had been armed and equipped
by men who had no especial means to
equip it, and, as Harding said, relied
on taking sueh ships as it eould over
power by boarding.
Soon after the first officer had gone
below the men began to bring up guns,
pistols and cutlasses aud distributed
them, with ammunition to At, along
the bulwarks.
"Where's Mr. Harding?" the captain
demanded of one of the men. "What's
he doiig below when we're in peril for
our lives?"
"tie 8 in ine engine'Toom, was me
reply.
At that moment a diabolical shout
went up which diverted the captain's
attention from the delinquent Mr.
Harding. It was a bloodthirsty cry of
triumph. The pirates, having come
near enough to the North St;ir to make
sure that she had uo menus of sinking
her adversary, were iu a very hilari
ous state. Their Junk was n tolerably
good sailer, mid the wind was fair to
enable them to bear down on their en
emy. The North Star, though a steam
er, was u tub nnd_could barely do sev
en miles an hour.
On came the Junk, her murderous
crew dancing and shouting and chat
tering and brandishing their weapons.
The captain of the North Star was so
terrified that he took uo action what
ever, but the second officer, Mr.
Melggs, was quietly arranging the men
In groups along the bulwarks and giv
ing tbein their orders. There were a
few band grenades in the stock of ex
plosives, and Meiggs ordered them on to
the forecastle, where it was expected
the Chinamen would attempt to climb
the bowsprit chains, for the North
Star was part steamer and part sailer.
The crew was divided into two sec
tions, the one for'ard, the other aft
"Why are you leaving the ship clear
for the devils amidships, Mr. Melggs?"
walled the captain. "Don't you sup
pose they've got sense enough to come
aboard where^fthey have the least
height to climb?"
"It's Mr. Harding's orders, sir."
"Harding's orders? What's ho doing
giving orders from the engine room?"
Again the captain's attention was
distracted by a yell from the pirates,
who were right under the North'star's
stern. There was a volley from the
men posted there, and a grappling hook
that was thrown and caught on the
gunwale was cast off.
Then the Chinamen were seen taking
to their boats with the evident Inten
tion of stringing the fight out so far
that the little crew of the North Star
worild not,be able to keep them off
from all points at once. A boat load
of men well armed and with hooks and
rope ladders attacked the stern, anoth
er the bow, while a boat was sent on
each side.
At tliis time tlarcimg, dragging a
hose, and the tireman, dragging anoth
er, cams up the companion way.
"Wlint are you going to do with
that?" asked the captain.
Harding had no time to reply In
words, bnt he did reply In action. Two
or three of the Chinamen bad climbed
up the unprotected port side, and ona
of them had a leg over the gunwale.
Harding let drive at him with a half
inch Ji t of steam from the boiler, and
he went back over the side, doubtless
glad to gi t into the cold water below.
At the same time the fireman opened
up on another party about to Jump
down on to tile deck on the starboard
Side. Both Hardin;; and the fireman,
haring cleared the gunwate, carried
the nozzle to the side and, pointing the
stream downward, trave a death acaid
to every one(in the boats below. The
bow and stern being well protected by
legitimate arms of v\ rfare and the
sides being impregnable against a jet
of hot steam, the pirates "withdrew.
Harding, who had saved the ship by
bis admirable foresight and resource,
became the idol of the crew, while all
respect for the captain was gone.
'When the North Star sailed again from
an American port Harding was her
master.
