Nor did Mr. Tym, bold and resolute as he was, attempt a full and conclusive answer. He glanced at Mac Ivrach and me. and. finding that we wore doubtful expres- sions, made, for him, a very cautious reply. “We have heard you, Master Pra- dey.” he said, “and while I, speaking for myself. hesitate not to reject one part of your propositionâ€"to wit, that we should join your ship‘s companyâ€" stlll there are other points in the mat- ter that require thought.“ “Well, I will not press you.” said Pradey. rather mildly. “and you may have till morning for the answer." watched with ”eagerness the motions “ . of the lookoutaL .One fellow was is ' he will seek to make way wnn us, ' pledge ourselves as we may?

Is this as you would have it ?” to‘ “Meanwhile,” said I, thinking it a “Why,yes,"said Mr.Tym.wholooked good time to settle one point, “he i a little surprised at the ease of the vic- pleased to tell us how it came about ' tory. “You ratify this. friends?” that we find you here? Also what has Mac Ivrach and I promptly assented. “And you swear accordingly ?” went on Pradey. “We do.” the three of us replied. ' “As do I. for my part," he said, with a satisfied nod. “You are now safe, and I am free of my complications. Thus all ends well.” He smiled blandly. and I supposed the interview was over, but Mr. Tym, it seemed, would have a question. “What is our present destination?” he inquired. “Chagre,” replied Pradey. promptly: “but first I will run a bit to the cast- bccome of your companions ‘3” “Why, that is a short story.” said Pradey, with one of his cold grins. “The night of the day we left you it fell quite dark, and. the watch having . fortified his courage with spirits, suf- , fered himself to fall asleep, and a ship 1 coming up ran us down. Some were killed outright and others drowned, I and in the end Iwas the only one saved. I The ship was a buccaneer, one of those l cruisers sent out by Morgan, and was , so unfortunate as to have just lost her captain. He had been killed in a wrangle with the first lieutenant, and the latter had then been shot in turn by one of the crew. As no person was left aboard who understood naviga- tion, and as I made no scrnple to put myself forward, I was soon chosen captain, and when this was settled we stood away to rejoin the fleet. We shortly came up with it, when Capt. Morgan was pleased to confirm me in my place. About this tune news was received of the sailing of the Pilanca, with the governor of Panama on board, LA“ ti ‘ 0-- ~ - f‘oig? for St. Catherine’s, three of us were has the foreotopgellant yard. and ' x‘othera little‘below.

A half mile. it might be more. and then Pradcy called Phibbert and gave ' an order. The lieutenant leaped upon a gun. “ leady at the braces!" he roared. The men rushed to obey. The cap- tain then signed to the helmsman, and , as soon as he had shouted “Helm'a ' a-leel" the lieutenant followed with l the other orders and the ship rode l gracefully round. At the right mo- ‘ ment the yards were ordered. and ; speedily we were sawing up and down, very comfortably hove to. ! “Ah. look yonncr!" exclaimed Mac lvrach, suddenly. He pointed to aspot a little to the cast of the hill. There. in a kind of clear space brought out by a glinting streak of the failing night, I saw a. small boat. It was moving scn- l ward, and was already nearly abreast of the ship. “We should tell the captain.” I said. “Maybe that will be what he seeks." “Vera weel,” answered the cook. IIe stepped toward the poop accord- ingly, but at that moment Pradey him- self made the discovery. “Boat l " he sang out. wheeling sharp- ly round. "Master Phibbert, get way on the ship!" “A fisher,” said an old buccanecr near me. “It is the very chance the captain was tarryiug for." It seemed so. indeed, and again I be- gan to think I had underrated Pra- dey‘s sagacity. In a moment the ship was ready to come about. The head sheets were let go. the braces were handled in their turn and the forward yards came round. The other orders were quickly com- pleted. The ship's head rode gallant- }; found. and she, was laidfairly for the chase.

As the ship came into the wind the boat approached the quarter. “W hat news ashore?" asked Pradey. hurriedly. “Why, senor, the English have taken the castle," answered the man.

I should count it no such dreadful thing to join the bnccaneers, though once, I admit, I thought other- wise, and this sentiment. is stronger since the death of the poor captain." Mr. Tym nodded. “Aye, that is my reasoning,” he said. “Moreover, it; seems that Morgan does really bear a. commission from the king. Pradey, as , well as all before, speaks very confident- ly of it; so we may be pretty sure of the legality of the thing. But the vil- lain’s old offenseâ€"that is the stick!” Here Mac Ivrach, who had been giv- ing close heed, put in a word: “Is there no a middle course? I tak’ i it the man micht listen to a bit com- : promise.” . i . I had been thinking fast as the Scotch- , man spoke. j “I cannot say,” I replied; “I have ' nothing clear, and yetâ€" Stay! How as toa compromise in time? Say we would agreeâ€"nude}- tbis stressâ€"to cover the , villainy for a period?” ’ “I distrust it.” said Mr. Tym, shak- . ing his head. “Besides, Pradey would never consent.” “But there is more to the matter,”I ’ went on. coming to a clearer concep- tion of the thought myself as I talked. “As you say, he is desperate, and void of all conscience. Could we trust him, in any case?” “Why, no,” he answered, alittle per- plexed; “but what then?" “Will hetrmtuginturn? Thcbase are aha)!” Wane. Think you not -n.~.-Q- ... l l “Aye, ’tis so, indeed,” replied Mr. l Tym, “and we must henceforth be on ‘ our guard. He is dangerous to the limit of his ability." It was now well into the evening. y and as we had settled our plans and l were weary we gave over further dis- , cussion and went below. i We awoke the next morning much i refreshed, and like-wise in improved spirits. Our mates of the steerage were all on deck. and we had an op- portunity for a little comforting talk. 1 Taking evervthing into account, our ‘ prospects w$re not. after all. so very l bad. The main question was how to ‘ outwit the treacherous and dangerous i Pradey. l When we reached the deck we found ' the ship making but a small headway, , the wind having much declined. In- vainly for the Pilanca, for she had . clean dropped us, nor was any other bit of canvas in sight. Well to the south the seaboard was broken, for there we 1 made out what must be land, and on inquiry were told it was one of the northernmost of the Windward islands. .Our course was now due west, and Lieut. Phibbert told us we were to continue till we raised Cuba. If we fell in with no prize by that time, he said, we should stand directly for Cbagre. ' ' We had an easy voyage across the Caribbean, and finally made the land fall of the isthmus. All was now stir and excitement, for we could not say how matters had gone. nor whether Morgan and his fleet were here before us. It was approaching nightfall as we drew in, and it would be a hard mat- ter to determine much without stand~ ing dangerously near, but Pradey did not flinch. The wind was almost from I the north, but he coolly held his course, taking a desperado’s chance f getting out again, and so the B . Eagle drove down till woweréwifldn ‘ rangeofthe‘g‘la'ug‘ f '3‘! comqrefidlibjmrlfi "(393' "III' I j deed, it soon fell to a calm. We looked I bert, lay our course for the castle.” . At last I’radcy gave the word and once more the Black Eagle was fetched into the wind. A cable had been pre- pared to slip, and one of the anchors was immediately let go. Sail was clewed up but not furled, and when am- munition had been served out to the men and all the cannon prepared for instant use we were in case either to fight or to fly. We were near enough to the castle by this time, so that a shot from one of its heavy guns might reach us, but otherwise there was no present risk. Everything had been managed as quietly as possible, and there was no hint, from any sign on shore, that we had been perceived. Pradey spoke to the first lieutenant, and one of the quarter boats was low- cred. “Take her, lieutenant. pick two men for a crew, and see what you can learn," said Pradey, briefly. “Aye, aye, sir.” answered‘Phlbbert. “If all is well fire two successive pis- tol shots; if we have been cheated, one,” pursued Pradey. Phibbert again assented, and handily picked out his men and got away. We watched them anxiome as long as we could see them, which was only a few moments, as they speedily entered the shadows of the river’s mouth and un- der the dark foot of the mountain. It was again a time of trained waiting. but not for long. as, much beforeIwas expecting anything, a sharp report. and then another came out of the ob- scurity. , The men broke into a tremendous cheer, and instantly the decks-awoke hanging over the bulwark), apleagerw'eroalltogettheflrstword ‘ towarduandwenereelvedfiatm landward a light fog or vapor split away and the embattled top of the mountain broke through. The morning watch began to wash down the decks. as usual. but. with many delays and long looks at the shore, and while they were still at work first one and thcn another of the watch below appeared. Pradey and Phibbert soon came out. and by the time the sun had his rim fairly above the water threeâ€"fourths of the whole company were on deck. Not to dwell necdlcssly on details. we brought safely in. towing with a barge, after one tack, and soon an- chored in a little rearward cove. While we were fetching by the castle men ran out to look at us, and, the news soon spreading. the ramparts were, presently shining with armored fig~ urea, who gave us a hearty cheer of welcome. We found other ships in the berth, lying just in the river edge of it, and their decks were also speedily manned and a volley of questions and congratulations poured out. Pradey answered all briefly but good- naturedly, but meanwhile gave his chief attention to one Capt. De Bou- vard, from whom he was learning the chief facts of the siege and taking of the castle. It seemed that the place was defended by above 300 Spaniards. not counting servants and slaves, and that a most stubborn fight was made. Capt. Brodely began the attack with a force of 400. but at noon on the third day. when the corps du gard was final- ly carried, his available command numbered. only 230. The Spaniards ‘ were nearly all killed. the resolute old governor with the rest. and the unhurt remnant managed to descend on the steep landward side and escape.
