The expedit diet Arnold was cc posed of three divisions, one of which was to capture some boats at Skenes- borough and send them down the lake to Allen and his men, who were to get them at Shoreham. But when the re- nowned Green Mountain leader reached the latter village, in the night time, not asingle boat awaited him. This was a bitter disappointment, for Allen had but eighty-three men with him, and his position was one of great hazard. It looked like madness to assail, with his small force, an armed place like Ticon- deroga, yet it was still more dangerous to remain idle cant a tit for the boats, my boy the intrepid Allen. “We must assault the fortress.” In looking for a guide the Vermonter found Farmer I’eman, who, as soon as he understood what was wanted, said: “Why not take my boy? Nathan knows all about the fort. He’s been all over it, and kn location of every rat hole, in : The suggestion ¢ little Nathan tioned. “Pll go, i wt once. know the way to Delaplace’s quarte too, if you should want to find him. Delaplace was the commandant and, of course, the very person whom Allen wanted. The little party crossed the lake in such boats as they had at hand. The oars were dipped silently in the starlit water, and no one spoke above a whisper. Morning was near at hand, and so much precious time had been lost that every moment had to be put touse. When the patriots reached the opposite shore the commander turned to Nathan Keman, and, laying his hand upon his shoulder, said quick- 1 imed Lo ted Allen, and was nd ques- sir,” he or Ts, “We're ready now. Show us the way to the sully port.” Guided by the farmer's son, the mountaineers moved toward the fort, and, coming suddenly upon a sentry, heard the snapping of his fusee lock and saw him run through a covered way within the walls. “Quick!” cried the boy, looking up at Allen, and the soldiers sprang after the ssuide and made their way to the parade ground unopposed. The enthusiasm of the patriots now broke forth into shouts of victory which, reaching the ears of the British soldiers, caused them to spring from their pallets and rush from their barracks, only to be made prisoners as they ap- peared. Never was a surprise more complete—thanks to Nathan Beman. When Allen had secured most of the garrison he asked the boy to show the way to the commander's room, and the two were soon running up the steps leading to it Bang! bang! went Allen's sword against the lonel’'s door, nd the British officer hurried out of bed to answer the demand. It happened that Allen and Delaplace were old acquaint- ances, and the reader can imagine the latter's astonishment when he saw who was hammering at the door. Of course there was nothing for him to do but to surrender. The spoils that fell into the hands of the victors amply repaid them for all the dangers they had faced, and the fort remained in the hands of the Americans for many months later, when it was abandoned and dismantled by Gen. St. Clair. Amid the general re- joicings that followed this exploit the part played by Nathan Beman was not forgotten. His ne was on many tongues and his services were em- balmed in the poetry of the day. With- out bim Allen's heroic expedition would in all proability have resulted in failure. Nathan grew to manhood and ended his days in peace in the year 1856, dying then in Franklin county, N. at the age of 89 y “He lived,” says Lossing, the historian, “to see our con- federacy increase from thirteen to thirty stars, and from three million of people to twenty million—The Ad- vance. rs. FISHING IN JAMAICA. (Queer Ways of Catching the Red Snapper Used By the Maroons. ‘The red snapper is « fish found in all parts of the Caribbean sea. It is par- ticularly plentiful in all the bays and inlets, large and small, around the coast of Jamaica, West Indies. Its color is red, or more properly, perhaps, bright pink. Its flesh is very fine grained, delicate and sweet, and therefore delicions ting. The red snapper forms a very important, indeed a staple article of food with the natives, and the methods of taking them employed by the Margons are novel and very in- teresting. While 1 in island last winter, I made a brief tarry at Yallah’s bay, on the southeast coast, where I had a good opportunity of seeing how the natives tish for zens of the Caribbean, and for observ- ing the people and their curious out fit, traps, anchors canoe: ap consists for se- nd nets. of a kind of basket, with meshes about two inches in diame- ter on all sides. It is woven from s: of the wild cane, w grows pro- fusely along the banks « all the streams and rivers, and which the na- tives cut with their machetes and si into strips about half an inch wide. ‘This open-work basket or trap is about three feet long, rounded at one end and REVCGLUTIONARY HERC.

Their traps are the with bits of meat that are se ed to two small, pointed spindles of wood fastened to the inside of the rounded end The opening ut the side is closed and stones are used as w ights. The Maroon canoe is an interesting craft, for the reason that it is hollowed out entire from the trunk of the or ‘‘cotton tree.” These huge trees are as their trunks are very large, long and Straight, and the wood, which much ri sembles poplar, is easy to work, they are made use of whenever a canoe is to be made.

These canoes will weather seas and surf where many # more civilized craft would be swamped or broken to pie The Maroons have still another way of taking the red snupper, one requir- ing a great deal of skill and alertness. This is generally employed near the shore in very shallow water. Armed with a circular net, about four feet in diameter, made of the twisted fibers of the aloe, with the mouth held open by aloop of the pliant “supplejack,” the net weighted with stones bound to the hoop so it will instantly sink, the na- tive wades out until the water is up to his knees. With net held in front of him, he stands motionless, gazing steadily down into the water, the mir- ror-like surface of which is undisturbed by the rollers of the Caribbean, which are broken by the low coral reef that extends across the entrance of the bay. Oftentimes the shallow water for rods along the shore will be dotted with blacks, each with a net in hand, stand- ing as motionless as a flamingo. But watch them. In a moment one of the blacks makes a quick motion, the net descends und with a splash dis- appears under the water; and asnapper swimming leisurely along suddenly finds himself caged in the net, the hoop lying on the bottom and the net pre- venting his escape. Then the native stoops over, and with a dexterous mo- tion twirls the net around, at the same time turning its mouth upward, and lifting it out of the water the snapper is quickly transferred to a large bag carried slung to the waist. Even the Women engage in this style of fishing. Both men and women wear nothing but a breech-cloth while fishing, which gives them great freedom of motion. The red snapper will take the hook quite readily, but he is not gamey, and bites like the horn-pout of New En- gland fresh waters. He in no way re- sembles the pout, however, as the snapper has distinct seales and a small mouth. This tish is usually about fif- teen inches long, but sometimes runs to two feet. The color, before, is bright pink. widely-separated dor fins, the first of which is armed with sharp spines. It generally selects soft or fat. sub- stances for food, and the bait most gen- erally used by the natives is fat meat s I have s There are two have seen them use bits of boiled “mountain cabbage” or cabbage palm. When I arrived in Kingston I went to the museum there. and with the aid of an imperfect specimen, imperfectly la- beled, and some books of reference, I came to the conclusion that the snap- per belongs to the mullet family,though Tam quite sure that the species found along the Jamaican coast is somewhat different from the snapper of the Gulf of Mexico. It is a delicious tish and splendid eat- ing, and more easily taken with the in Jamaican waters. Pitch the tent beneath the spreading branches of the gourd or bread-fruit tree, on an elevation over- looking some quiet bay; there are pigeons in the woodland, and tropical fruit in abundance all around, and several species of fish to be caught in all the waters.
