We can’t be going less than 10 knots,” said the captain, looking critic- ally over the bows at the water racing alongside. “I can almost make out the name on her stern now with the naked eye,” re- plied the other, staring hard ahead through the drift and spray. “Have you a glass there, Mr. O’Neill ?”_ asked the captain. Wes, sir} {fire it Ts,” answered that gentleman, handing him a long, old fashioned, cumbrous brass telescope, which he at once adjusted and focused on the ship they were chasing. “Ah!” said the elder of the two speak- ers, a small, slender man, standing lightly poised on the topgallant fore- castle with the careless confidence or a veteran seaman as he examined the chase through the glass which the tall- er and younger officer handed him. “I can read it quite plainly with this. The M-a-i-dâ€"Maidstone, a trader evidently, as I see no gun ports nor anything that betokens an armament." He ran the tubes of the glass into each other and handed it back, remarking, “At this rate we shall have her in a short time.” “She is a fast one, though,” replied the other. “It’s no small task for any- thing afloat to show us her heels for so long a time. Let me see; it was six bells in the morning watch when we raised her, was it not, “Yes, ’tis rather remarkable going for a merchant vessel, but we have the heels of her and will get her soon un- less she goes to the bottom on those reefs round the Land’s End yonder.

O’Neill was the son of a marshal of France, an Irish gentleman of high birth and position. who had gone out as a mere lad with the young Stuart in the ’45, and whose property had been confiscated and him- self attainted and sentenced to death for high treason. Fortunately he had escaped to the continent, and had en- tered the service of the king of France, where, through his extraordinary abil- ity and courage, coupled with several brilliant opportunities he had made and j enjoyed, he had risen to exalted station and great wealth. He had always con- tinued more or less of a conspirator in the cause of the royal Stuarts, however. and his son, following in his footsteps, had been mixed up in every treasonable Jacobite enterprise which had been undertaken, and was under the same ban or the British throne as was his father. b“ “v-- When Paul Jones in the historic ship Ranger came to France, O’Neill, moved by a spirit of adventure and his ever present desire to strike a blow at King George. received permission to enter the American service temporarily, with several other French officers. The Ranger was already some days out on her successful cruise, when, early on : a morning in the month of April in the year 1778, they had sighted a ship try- ing to beat around the Land’s End. Sail had at once been made in chase, and the stranger was now almost with- in the grasp of the American pursuers. “It seems to me, sir," said O’Neill to the captain, “that unless she goes about presently she won’t weather that long reef over beyond her, where those V breakers are.” “Aye,” said Jones. “and it she goes , :n “A rm “and UL CQBVL u u- .â€" “Aye,” said Jones. “and it she goes about, she’s ours, and”â€" He paused significantly. “If not, sir?” “She's God’s!" added the captain sol- emnly. The wind was blowing at a furious rate. The Ranger had a single reef in her topsnils. with her topgallant sails set above them. The masts were straining and buckling like bound gi- ants. and the ship quivered and trem- hled like a smitten harp string as she pitched and plunged in the heavy seas. The wind roaring through the iron taut rigging and the wild spray dash- ing over the sidesrcndered conversa- tion almost impossible.

LL- III» “19 Va Win-'- The Ranger was rushing through the water again at a rapidly increasing rate, almost burying her lee cathead in the foaming sea under the treshening breeze, and was now very near the Msidstone, which at this moment dis- charged the small stern chaser which had been dragged astern, the shot from which passed harmlessly through the bellying toresail above their heads. “Give her another. Pace,” said O’Neill upon a nod from Jones. “Into her this time. sir?" '0 “Yes: anywhere you like. The Ranger luflfed again, losing a lit- tle distance as she did so, but weather- ing appreciably on the stranger. and this time the flying splinters from the stern of the chase showed that the shot had met its mark. There was a sudden scattering of the men upon her quaro ter. and most of them disappeared. but the young girl could be seen holding on to the weather Spanker vans and ap- parently looking defiantly at them. O’Neill took up the glass and exam- ined her. i “We have her now." said Juucu. . springing on the rail and leaning over i forward; “nay. it‘s too late. Missed ; stays!

As they held on recklessly together suddenly the speed of the chase was diminished. Her hchn was put down. and with mils quiverlng and swaying she swung up into the wind. -â€"._ n .m {A Ynnm Fist-eaten ahead!" 0! roared out a. halt do“! torecastle. “Breakers on tho sta ”L “-9. w 'â€" came the wild cry trom all sides. “Down with the helmâ€"hard down!" shouted O'Neill, with 9. mm '0 ready some ts grow better than others.
