" Well, boys," remarked Sile, " if you'll wait till I've got my pipe lit, and taken the kink out 'er this left leg o' mine, I'll tell you the story, such as 'tis." In a few minutes he commenced as follows : — " When I was a boy I hed a pretty hard time of it. My mother was a widow with four children, and I the oldest one. Arter I was twelve year old, I begun to go as cabin-boy in a coaster that traded between the Kennebec and Bosting, and once or twice durin' them years I went down New York.
" ...When I was fifteen I shipped as cabin-boy on board a vessel loaded with staves, for New Orleans, for a hundred dollars the season, and my board. I was paid off in New Orleans ; and thinkin' I should like up country better, I bought a ticket for St.
Louis, and started up river on one of the Mississippi steamboats.
" Wal, arter I got my ticket, I hed jest a hundred dollars ; and I allowed that when I got tew St. Louis and found something tew do, I'd send mother that money. Thar was a good many passengers aboard, and I was jest old enough to think I knowed as much as any one on 'em : so I mixed in pretty lively.
