jgSf^WRXRY PI.AT iiiiP- •' CHAPTER XX--Continued. S&!; .We emerged through the companion, i&# I stepped aside ns^thc others rushed by. There was no shout, no cheer, the fellows seemihg to realize the desperate uature of their work, and the importance of surprise. They were outnumbered five to one, and their only hope of success lay in rendering their opponents helpless before they could rally to a defense. All the pent-np hate of years was in their hearts, blazed madly in their eyes; ihey were tigers leaping at the throat nf their prey, yet sane enough te comprehend even in their blood-rage that they must act together. It was over so' quickly I scarcely saw it all. My « ves swept from group to group--the four toiling at the cover of the main hutch; the fellows racing toward the forecastle; and Watkins' squad driving straight into the grouped watch beyond the foremast. It was smartly done; Watkins had taken no cutlass, but went in with bo^li fists, asking no questions, but battering right and left, his men surging after, with steel blades flaming In the sunlight. The astounded watch, cursing and fighting grimly, held for a moment, and then •went staggering back against the port rail, unable to stem the rush, and roaring for mercy. I had view of Carlson dropping recklessly down the forecastle scuttle, and then^Mprang forward myself to give a hfpS to the four wrestling with the main hatch. Together we dragged it into position, forcing relentlessly back as we did so, • dozen struggling figures frantically endeavoring to reach the deck. Shots were fired, the bullets whistling through the opening, the flare lighting the black depths below, revealing vaguely a mass of frantic men staring vp» and cunftfig us fiercely in a dozen languages; but. In spite of them, we damped the hatch down tight, and locked it securely into place with an Iron bar. Watkins needed no help; be had nis party rounded up. To my orders they were driven into the cook's galley and a guard stationed at the door. Then I turned to the more serious work confronting me In the forecastle. We must have men enough to sail the bark, and if I was to command them, I must first of all prove my courage and enforce authority. The whole success of our effort depended on this. "What's going on below?" I asked. . "Cursin' mostly," answered Carter, peering down through a slight uptilthtg of the scuttle. "They don't just know what's happening yet, but the big nigger seems ter be raisin' hell. Carlson is a holdin' him back with his Cutlass." "Open up and let me down." I fell, rather than clambered along the rungs of the ladder, coming to ny feet on deck in the midst of a group of angry men. The light was so poor I could scarcely see their faces; a babel of voices greeted me, and more than one hand gripped me fiercely as the excited owner yelped a demand to know what in hell we were up to. I roughly cleared a space, aided by Carlaon's cutlass, and fronted them. Towering above them all, his black apelike face, distorted with rage, I distinguished the giant Cochose, his immense hands grasping a wooden bar ripped from a bunk. Plainly enough he was the leader. If I was to rule, tM« black brute must be conquered at the very start, conquered by my own hands, and In the presence of his spates. "Stand back there lads." I said sternly. "Ill explain all that has happened presently, but first 1 am going to lick that black within an inch of his life. Step out of there, Cochose." He came grinning widely, balancing .'fee heavy club. **You mean me, sab? You all think i JIT kin lick me?" **Yes, I think so; I'll try It anyway. Here Carlson, take this pistol and aheath knife. If anyone interferes Shoot him. All I ask is fair play. Dfop that club, Cochose, and throw •way your knife. You and I will fight *ls out with bare hands." His dull brain worked slowly, and he stared at me. his eyes ugly, nis •Hence and lack of response, awoke a growl from the Impatient circle of men behind. One fellow kicked the etab out of his hand contemptuously, «nd another plucked the knife from r Ms belt. - "You big skulker," the latter said. With an oath of derision, "go on, and Aghtr , t : "What for Ah fight this white man? ^ Ah don't even know who he is." "Then I'll tell you. Estada is dead: •;5#Ianuel Is a prisoner. I'm in com- S/jband of this bark. You are a big, . fextsting cur! I heard what you said ferhen I came down, and now I'll make fou prove it." •> I took two steps forward, my adfnnce so swift and unexpected the big liegro had not even time to throw up {in arm in defense. With open hand I tjlHBrtr him squarely across the face. In that instant, although I cannot recall removing watchful eyes from the negro's face, I received >an impression of my surroundings never to be erased from memory-^--the gloomy Interior, the deck, foul, littered with sea boots, and discarded clothing, and the great beams overhead blackened by smoke. The rays of the swinging slush lantern barely illuminated the central space, the rows of bunks beyond remaining mere shadows, yet this dim. yellowish light, fell full upon the excited half circle of men who were roaring about the negro. They were a rough, wild lot, ranging in color •from the intense black of Central Africa to the blond of Scandinavia, half naked some, their voices mingling in a dozen tongues, their eyes gleaming with savagery. I know uot whether Cochose lunged forward of his own volition, or was pressed 011 from behind, yet suddenly he was within reach of me, and the; battle was on, his object evidently be* in? to crush me in' his giant grip* mine to oppose science to strength, and avoid his bear-hug. We swayed back and forth to the sharp pitching of the ship. Then he sprang straight at me determined to smash me to the deck by the very power of his onslaught. But I side-stepped him, getting in two swift blows, which rocked his head, and tore open one cheek, from which blood trickled. Yet he kept his feet, blindly gripping for me. I evaded his clutch by leaping aside, but the space was far too small to permit these tactics to carry long, and finally he had me. Yet, even as he seemingly crushed the very breath out of me, his giant strength met with a resistance which increased his fury. Already the fellow had lost his head, but I fought coolly, putting my skill against brute force, every wrestler's trick I knew flashing into my brain. Breathlessly, my flesh scraped and bruised, I wriggled partly free, and tripped him, his great bofly striking the deck with a thud. 1 fell with him, dragged down by his desperate grip, but was first upon my feet, saluted by Battering Right and Left. $sT. CHAPTER XXI. • 1 . 4 .»•' , In Full Possession. roar of delight went up. I knew witters and ftlt they would welcome a Iflght like this and their Immediate '-^sympathy would be with me for startsing It. More than that, this black bully, ruling over them by brute force, could be no favorite. They might fear J him, but with that fear would be * ^mingled hate, and a delight In his / downfall. ' M a roar of delight from the lips of those crowding about us. As he staggered up also, I struck him again, a blow which would have ended the game, had not my foot slipped on the reeling deck. As it was it drove him to his knees, groggy, and with one eye half closed, yet with strength enough left to regain his feet as soon as I. This time he charged me like a wild bull, froth whitening his lips, scarcely appearing human in the yellow light In mad rage he forgot all caution, his one thought to reach me with his hands, and throttle me into lifeless pulp, I fought him back, driving blow on blow through his guard, side-stepping his mad rushes, landing again and again on his body. Twice I got in over Ms heart, and at last, found the chance I sought, and sent a right jab straight to the chin. All the force of one hundred and eighty pounds was behind the clenched fist, and the negro went down as though floored by a poleax. Once weakly he endeavored to rise, but this time I used my left, and he never stirred again, lying there with no sign of life except the quivering of the huge body. Assured that he was down and out, I stood above him, gazing into the ring of excited faces. "That's one attended to," I said shortly. "Now is there any more of you who would like to fight this out?" There was no answer although the rln^s widened under the threat of my eyes, and I met sullen faces here and there. I was In no mood to take chances. "Carlson," I aald, "you know all these men. Pick out those you can trust, and have them stand over there to the right. Call them out by name; be lively now." ' They stepped forth eagerly enough, and runged themselves before the bunks, the faces mostly tliose of north- i ern Europe, although a negro or two was among them. As the Swede ceased calling, six or seven yet re<- malned clustered in front of me, a motley lot, one of them an Indian, the others mostly half-breeds. I glanced from face to face inquiringly. "How about It, you*/" I asked. "Are there any more of you fellowa who take k chanc* with us? ThU la my 'last offer." "What's the gameT* asked AiraUea voice In English, and a bearded felio*. ^burned black, pushed his way to the front. "I used ter he Scotch; now J don't know what I am. One flag it as good as another ter me--only I want to know what sorter game I'm playitf* in. Who are y4r? An' whar'd Jyer cum frum ?" < "I am an English seaman," I an*' iswered shortly, "and how I came aboard makes no difference. Right now I am the only navigator on the Namur. Estada is dead--knifed last night by one of the buccaneers. Man* uel Estevan had a hand In the business, and he's safely locked in a stateroom aft. Captain Sanchez Is wounded and helpless, and those cut-throatt amidships are battened down belovf hatches. LeVere and I are the officers left, and we control the deck." "Yer mean those fellers were almln' ter take the ship?" "Exactly that; now wh«;re are you lads? With Manuel and his bunch of pirates? Or with us?" "What er yer going ter do with us, an' this ship? That's the fu'st question." • I had not decided that even In my own mind, bat the answer came promptly enough. "I am going to leave that to the crew. As soon as we have all secure. Til have every man on deck, and then we'll talk it over. That's fair enough isn't it?" , \ "It looks fair. Come on, ofatea; I'm fer the Englishman.*' Only one followed him, however, a sheep-faced boy; the others remained sullen and defiant. I had no further time to waste In explanations." I glanced up at Carter's face framed ln< the scuttle hole. "Carter, pass these men up and take them forward with the others. Turn them over to Watkins. Then come back here, and report to me." They went up the ladder one by one, and disappeared onto the deck, above. Carlson atfd I watched the others until Carter stuck his head once again through the opening. "All safe, sir--they was like lambs.**. "Very well; stand by to help. No# you lads, lift this black and shove hitn up to where they can get hold above." They hoisted the unconscious form up the ladder and forced it through the hole onto the deck. At my sterr command they crawled forth into the j sunlight. There they picked up Cochose and carried him aft. I went to the main hatch, and had the cover slipped to one side, the armed sailors gathering close about the edge, as I peered down. It was a scene of pandemonium, revealed in the yellow flame of slush lanterns, a group of white faces showing clearly, as the prisoners below struggled forward, gesticulating and shouting. Ignoring their mad roaring, and the threat of leveled guns, I stared down at the infuriated faces, until the clamor ceased sufficiently to let my voice be heard. "What are you men trying to do. frighten me? Yoy might aa well stop, ithat. This opening is lined with guns, and if one of you fire a shot we'll pour lead into you. More than that; If you attempt to climb out there is a brass carronade trained on the hatch. So listen! We are in control of1'the ship and mean to keep it. The old officers are either dead or prisoners. What we do with you will depend on your actions, but we're ready to kill If necessary. If you keep quiet down there, and obey orders, you'll be fed, and treated decently enough. Pass up your arms." There was no movement, only a glare of hostile eyes, an indistinguishable growl of voices. "Kneel down, lads and cover those fellows," I ordered sternly drawing ray own pistol. "Now you below there, this is my last word. I'll count ten, and you'll either pass up those weapons or we'll pour our fire into you. Take aim, boys." There was a moment of deathly silence, except for my counting. One man uttered a curse, and the jam of figures at the toot of the ladder endeavored to work back out of range, yet, before I had spoken the word eight, guns were held aloft, and poked up within reach, and at this sign of surrender even the most desperate lost heart and joined the more cowardly. It was a strange collection of weapons stacked on the deck--guns, cutlasses, knives and pistols of every description. Probably all had not been delivered, yet I felt no further fear of the few pieces remaining hidden. "That's all, is it? Very well--now take care of this big nigger we're sending down; no, he is not dead, only stunned. Now Btand aside while a few of your friends join you; they'll tell you what's up. Make room there." We passed the forecastle scum down one by one. Ignoring the lndignan* r#ar of voices which greeted my wder, I watched the wen shift the heavy hatch cover Into place, and then permitted my eyes to survey the deck, as 1 hastily considered our next action.

NEW -AUTUMN: WEAR Information That May Leiti to Prospective Buyer Making * a Wise Decision^* i TAM KEEPS ITS POPULARITY Feather Trimming Is Employed on Model That Almost Every Womaji A Can Wear With Good Effect-- 8ome Effective Turbans, What can stimulate interest lafashion at this season of the year like a little glimpse at ne>y hats? For hats are always interesting and hats are the first new thing a woman buys at the beginning of a new season. In fact, we buy new hats regardless of seasons and wear them, too, without consideration for their fitness for a .particular season; straw hats In January, velvet In July. And there are velvet hats and others, advanced models to excite your curiosity, stimulate your Interest and help you to decide your first rieW autumn style. And my! what a good effect a new hat has upon the average woman, both from the material aspect of a pleasing appeeand t!u l'"-« tangible ways mars the polfce arid the walk and prevents the absolute attention to the conversation of a companion, the giving of the entire Interest to the pleasure at hand that makes folks say: '"There is an attractive and likable girl," the opinion of friends and acquaintances that establishes a girl as a favorite. There is never a season when some form of the graceful and generally beaming tam is not in vogue and this /will be the case this season as in all Others. There is one style especially attractive, a between-seasons tam on new lines and Interestingly developed, of taffeta and soutache braid in two colors, to say nothing of an effective feature trimming that lends the last note of smart fashion to this timeestablished model, One excellent quality of the tam shapes Is that almost every woman can Wear one, all young girls can and most women of more mature years, provided they select the right model. Strikingly unusual Is a hat of vel-' vert with trimming of glycerin ostrich* in a sort of shower effect over the upturned brim. This may seem an extreme model, not so much In shape as in this arrangement of a popular trimming. And while not every woman can wear this hat or want to, nevertheless it portrays a certain BeW and This New Bonnet Is as Gay and Charming as the Month of Flowers, With Tender Pink and White Buds.

Burtls in the Philadelphia Ledger. Sometimes, as is usually the case with children, a woman treads life's path more gayly when she puts on new shoes, but more generally it Is a new hat that helps over a period of mental depression, of world weariness, of disinterest. for hats don't hurt and new shoes do, more's the pity.

At a memorial service in honor of Roosevelt at St. Nicholas church. New Vork. which he attended as a boy, the pastor remarked that th* dead man's iavorite hymn, from his childhood, was "How Firm a Foundation." That, also, was the favorite hymn of General Lee. It is notable that the same words appealed to these two men. whose fates were so strangely different--the one successful and triumphant "practically all his life, the other a defeated soldier and victim of many sorrows. Yet the dilettanti will tell us scornfully that the verges loved by these f.rong hearts and moving them through years of Intense action ure not "poetry" and are "crude."--Richmond Timcs-Dlspatch. BLOUSES IN WIDE VARIETY Wash Fabrics Figure Prominently Among Materials Employed--Pendant Decorations Highly Favored. The shops are really alluring in theta display of overblouses in fabrics and styles suitable for summer wear. It is perhaps an Interesting thing that wash fabrics have been made to serve so admirably for these blouses--for there was a time when Jt seemed that only chiffon and georgette and soft crepe would do for them. But now linen, organdie, batiste, ratine-- lots of ratine, too. which is another of thot*> -interesting evidences of a return to favor of a fahrlc or style that has seemingly gone by--all these and other summer fabrics, heavy, homespun, crashlike-looking things, are used for the overblouse. One thing that marks many of the blouses Is little tassels and hanging buttons and fringe. There are all sorts of these pendant decorations, from sleeve ends and hems and Just hanging down from any other part of the blouse Itself. Interesting feature of autumn millinery that you should be glad to note. Quite the reverse from the extreme fashion standpoint, yet nevertheless smart, despite Its conservative tone. Is the becoming turban of rich brocade, velvet and tiny ostrich tips, artistically combined. This hat illustrates still another use of ostrich, the regulation small curled tips. Not so new a treatment of ostrich but always a pleasing and satisfactory one, especially if one takes advantage of the modern process of shower proofing that insures the beauty of the feather against all moisture whether a fog or rain. If you are not familiar with this very commendable innovation in apparel Insurance ask your milliner.about it 01 the shop where you buy feathers for the hat you trim yourself. Model for Autumn. /tother new autumn hat. like most of the new models, is of velvet, turned up sharply in the front and trimmed oni.v with a rich cluster ef silk flowers ai d foliage. It Is an excellent model for first choice In the development of your autumn wardrobe, for it can be worn now--right now--and that's what most of us want to do with new things. A costume that has been much admired ts a simple, dignified dinner gown of charmeuse, with underskirt of contrasting color, simply trimmed with r.bbon In two widths and colors, models? after the beautiful line* of the early Greek costume. This Is the sort of gown that Is not dependent upon any whim of fashion for its acceptance. It Is the kind of gown that can be worn until it Is worn out, and this is a feature that appeals to many women not entirely from the standpoint of e<onomy, hut because tfiany of us must he well acquainted with our clothes before we are quite comfortable with them. Like old acquaintances, we must feel that our clothes wear well, and not from the standpoint of actual wearing service, hut from that of presenting us In the best possible light, o-' helping us appear at our best.
