The wind, fortunately for the enter- prise, happened to be blowing fresh out of the harbor, and it was necessary for the pinnace to beat up toward the entrance. She showed no lights, but as she tacked in close to the shore be- tween the watcher and the lights of the town he observed her. The boat was handled with consummate skill. She dropped anchor and hauled down her sails noiselessly just abreast the pier which had been appointed the ren- dezvous by the two men on the night before. As soon as Hornigold learned of the approach he took a small boat, leaving Velsers in command of the band on shore, and repaired with the other leaders to the wharf on the other side. As the boat approached the wharf it was hailed in a sharp whis- “So ’tis you, is it?” cried Morgan, attended by the maroon, as usual, again putting his pistol back into his belt. “Seeing so many of you in the skifl', I feared a trap until you gave the word.” All was in readiness when one of the men who had been stationed on the extreme edge of the beach toward the channel reported the approach of a small boat looking Iike the pinnaee. “Who comes?” cried the voice on shore. “Hornigold!” answered the boat- swain in a low tone as the boat swept alongside. \\ Ky Horni'gold's orders they were told at! in the parties of about twenty each, commanded respectively by him- self, Velsers, Raveneau, the Brazilian, and the last by Teach, who, though the youngest of the leaders, had a char- acter tor daring wickedness that would st0p at, nothing. With much difficulty the boatswain had succeeded in ob- talning five boats, each capable of car- rying one band. Every one brought his own arms, and in general these men did not lack a sufficiency of weap- ons. Those who were deficient, how- ever, were supplied from a scanty stock which the leaders had managed to procure. “I've brought along Raveneau. the Brazilian, and young Teach,” said the boatswain. “Welcome. my hearties, all!” said the vice governor softly. “We’re off to the Spanish main with a good ship. plenty of liquor beneath the hatches. brave hearts to run her. There will be plenty of pickings meet for any ’man. Are you with me?” “We are," answered one and ano other. The place where they stood was lone- ly and deserted at that time of night, but Hornigold suggested that they im- mediately repair to the other side, there to perfect their further plans. “How many men have you gather- ed ?” asked Morgan. “About fivescore.” “Boats ':" “Five." "Who leads each boat?" “I one. sir, with your permission; {aveneau here another. the Brazilian the third, young Teach a fourth and Vclsers the fifth." “Good! Are they all armed?" “Every man has a sword and a pistol at least.” "What of the men ?“ “A poor lot,” answered Teach reck- lessly. “a dastardly crew." "Will they fight, think ye?” "Curse me, they‘ll have to fight. “\Ye'll make 'cm," said IIornigold. “Do they know avhat's up?" "Not exactly," answered Raveneau, the l~‘reuchman, a man of good birth and gentle manners, but as cruel and ruthless a villain as any that ever cut a throat or scuttled a ship. “Have no fear. captain. Once we start them they will have to fight." "Did you ever know me to show fear. De Lussan?" eried the captain, bending forward and staring at the Frenchman, his eyes glittering in the darkness like those of a wildcat. "No, captain.” “No, nor did any other man,” an- swered Morgan. After a short pause Morgan resumed: "Have they suspected my escape ?" "They have." answered the boat- swain. "They found the remains of the three bodies in the burned house this morning. At first they thought one of them was yours, but they decided aft. er awhile that one was a woman, and they guessed that you had made away with the odicers and escaped. I told them you had stolen my pinnace and got away.” "Ami he swore and cursed you roundly. captain," interposed the Bra- zilim. chuckling maliciously. “Aye, 811'. he swore it he got hands on you he would give you up.” Morgan turned this time to Horn!- ng-J. lie was by no means sure of his position.

"he ye goin’ hue~ eaneerin' in boats? What’s the ship?” “No more of this, gentlemen! The past is gone! We begin again!” cried Morgan fiercely. “And, mark me, the man who betrays Harry Morgan will not live many minutes to boast it! I’d kill him if he sat on the steps of a throne! Easy there!” he called out to the oarsmen, assuming the command as by right, while the boat’s keel grat- ed on the shingle. “All out now and lead the way. Nay. gentlemen, you shall all precede me. Carib here will bring up the rear. And it may be well for you to keep your Weapons in your belts." “I have a ship in the harbor." cried Morgan. “well found and prm'iiled.” “Aye. but what ship?” “Confusion. sir!" shouted Morgan. “Begin ye by questioning me?

And hark ye, gentlemen, a word with ye!" calling them apart while the rest were being served. “Put the bold- est men in the stern sheets with your- selves, the rest at the oars, and do you have your weapons ready. The Mary Rose lies just within the bar. You. Velsers and Rock, gain the fo‘c'sl from larboard and starboard. You. Teach and Raveneau, board at the different gangways. Hornigold, I’ll go in your boat, and we'll attend to the cabin. Let all be done without noise. No pis- tols. Use the blade. Take no prisoners and waste no time. If we gain the deck without difiiculty, and I think we can, clap to the hatch covers, and we'll cut cable and get under way at once.” The men had been embarking in the boats rather reluctantly as he spoke, but presently all was ready. Finally Hornigold and then Morgan with the maroon stepped into the last boat, first making sure there were no stragglers left behind, and Morgan gave the com- mand to shove off. Sawkins had boldly presumed, in spite of the commander, to open his mouth again as the boats slowly left the beach, rowing through the passage and up the harbor against the ebb just beginning. He pulled the stroke: oar in Hornigold’s boat. “Aye!” came in a subdued roar from the men behind him, who only needed a leader to back out of the enterprise, which, as it threatened to involve fight- ing, began to seem not quite so much to their taste. “What ship?” "Before I go further,” he cried, “I want to know What ship we’re goln’ aboard of.” “The frigate,” answereh Homigold shortly. “What, the Mary Roseâ€"the king’s ship!" cried the men, ceasing to row. worthy composedly, sustaining the cap. tain’s searching gaze. A braver man never stepped a deck than he. “I did it to divert their attention. You see. they fancied at first that we old sea dogs might have something to do with your escape.

In perfect silence, bro- ken only by the “cheep" of the ours in the looks, the tire bouts swept down on the «loomed frigate. “Row for your lives’ sake!” cried the man behind Sawkins, hitting him in the back with the haf t of the oar. “It’s the king’s ship!” “What do we care for the king?" said Morgan. “He is the law, and none of us love the law.

He could not of course better the character of the crew which had been provided for him, nor could he entirely resupply we ship or make good her faulty and deficient equipment, but he did the best he could.

They were ill found, the wages of the seamen not paid. In short, they presented pictures of demoralization as painful as they were unusual.

As the admiral heard the noise made by the oars in the oarloeks he raised his voice, and, calling a sentry, for there was half a platoon of soldiers on board who had not yet been allowed liberty. he bade him ascertain if the approaching boat was one containing the governor. At the same time the admiral arose. buckled on his sword and made ready to go on deck to meet Lord Carling- tord should it prove to be his; expected visitor. Pausing a moment to say a final word to the master, he was con- seious of something striking the ship. Before he could formulate the idea that a boat must have hit the bends there were several similar shocks. The old master. who happened to he unarmed, stepped forward. The ship was more or less deserted. The sick men had been put ashore. Most of the crew and the officers as well had followed them. They would not be baek until the marrow. when Sir John had orders to get away in pursuit of [lornigtfti's pinnaee. With the eaptain in the whim. however, was the old master of the ship, a man who had been promoted to that rank after the famous tight with the Al- gm'ines heemrse of his gallantry in that notion. Kempihorne was consulting with him about the necessary arrange- ments before sailing the next day. The admiral was seated in the cabin of the frigate that night cogitating up- on his plans when his thoughts were interrupted by the rattle of oars. indi- cating the arrival of a boat. The sound of the approaching boat came faintly through the open stern win- dows of the cabin under the high poop deck. “That will be a boat. sir.” he sa‘oi quickly, “striking against the side of tlw ship. There’s another and an- othor." “Let us go on dock at once." said Kompthorno. stopping forward. As he did so the silmwe was broken by a wild. terrified cry. A moment after the sentry on tho quarter devk outside the ontmnve to tho :vvm cabin fire-:1 his: piece. The shot was followed by the sound of a heavy fall. A sharp, im- perious voice cried quickly: maica, men the headquarférs of the West India squadron. “The ship is ours! Waste no time! Ovm'hoard with him! Clap to the bah-h covers!” The necessity for concealment out- side was apparently a an end. The heavy covers were flung down upon the hatches and secured. The ship was filled with a confused babel of many voices and tramping feet. At the sound of the shot the admiral and the master sprang to the door, but be- fore they could pass the entrance it was flung violently open, and a man richly dressed after the fashion of Ja- maica, followed by a tall, savage look- ing half breed, a compound of negro and Indian. clad in a gorgeous livery, each with pistol and sword, sprang in- to the room and forced the two men back. As soon as he could recover himself Kcinpthorne whipped out his sword. He found himself covered. however, as did the master, with a pistol. Their hlsdes crossed ls sn lnstsnt. and st the same moment the old mas- ter, reckless of whst hsppened, flung himself between the two. There wss a resr from Csrlh’s pistol, sad the old msn tell.

Instantly the shrouds were covered with nimble forms making their way aloft where the wide yardarms stretched far over the sea. The men were in good spirits, the capture of the ship had been so easy.
