The whole ship's company stared after him, spontaneously cheering and yelling cries of encouragement in spite of the fact that he could not hear a single sound in the roaring, raging seas. Morgan himself tended the line, skillfully paying it out when necessary. In a few moments, although the time seemed hours to the watchers, the feet of Teach touched the shore, and, al~ though the terrific undertow of the wave that had dropped him there all- most bore him back again, yet by a su- perhuman exertion he managed to stagger forward, and the next moment they saw him fall prostrate on the Had he fainted or given way? They looked at him with bated breath, but after a little space they saw him rise slowly to his feet and stagger inland toward a low point where a lofty palm tree was writhing and twisting in the fierce wind. He was too good a sea- man not instantly to see what was re- quired of him. for, waving his hand toward the ship, he at once began to haul in the line. Ready hands had bent a larger rope to it, which was succeeded by a third, strong enough to bear a man’s weight. The buccaneer hauled this last in with great difficul- ty, for the distance was. far and the wet rope was heavy. He climbed up and made it fast to the tree and then waited. As soon as he had done so there was a rush on the ship for the line, which had been made fast in- board temporarily. Morgan, however, lnterposed between the crew and the coveted way to safety. “Back!” he shouted. “One at a time and the order as I appoint! You, 1:01- lonols, and you, and you,” he cried, in- dicating certain men upon whom he could depend. “Go in succession, then haul a heavier rope ashore. We’ll put a traveler with a bo’s’n’s chair on it and send the abhess and these priests first of all." Icy Would or no 1113 orders 'WerO promptly obeyed and intelligently car- ried out by L’Ollonols and his men, who first went ashore. A heavy haw- oer was dragged through the surf and ma“ fut high up on the sturdy palm tree. On it they rigged a traveler and the chair, and then the priests were brought forward from the cabin. They Tiaére was something about that man that en!" 7‘ fjfifii‘r'ff, whethgg vuvw-â€"â€" â€" were strielten with fear, but renewed their courage at the sight of the calm- ness of the abbeu. “Hornigoid,” said Morgan, “are you atiii faithful to me in this crisis?” “I shall obey you in all thingsâ€"now.” answered the boatswain. “Swear it.” “By the old buccaneer faith,” said the one eyed, again adding the signifi- cant adverb, “now.” "For a wonder, the captain paid no at- tention to the emphasis on the word “now,” “Can you keep your pistols dry '3” “I can wrap them in oilskin and thrust them in my jacket.” “Go to the shore, then," said Morgan, “and receive this woman and these priests. March them away from the men to yonder clump of palms and guard them as you would your life. If any man approach you or them for any Theyawhimhn purpose shoot him dead without 3 word. I’ll see that the others have no weapons. D’ye understand?” “Aye. and shall obey.” The boatswain swung himself into the chair, and the men on the other end of the travexer pniled him to the other shore, none the worse {or his wetting. He opened his jacket. found the weap- ons dry. and waved his hand as a up to Morgan that he was all right. _.4- v 'â€"'â€".1 "-koxé, which of you will go first?” uked Morgan. He turned instinctively to the tall abbess. She indicated first one and then another among the poor captives, and as they refused she turned to Mor- gan and, with a grave dignity, said in tpanish, of which he was a master, that she would go first to show the way and then the Others would be in better heart to follow.

Morgan «as careful {a 'lndlcats éaéh one’e turn, so that he preserved a bal- ance between the more reputable and the more degraded members d the crew both on ship and ashore. Among the last to go were the maroon and De Lusaan. They had both received in- structions, one to station himself at the palm tree, the other to cover the burner where it ran along the shore before it entered the water. These pre- cautionary orders which he had given Were necessary, for when the last man had been hauled ashore and Morgan stepped into the chair for his turn one of the infuriated buccaneers, watching his chance, seized his jackknife, the only weapon that he had, for Morgan had been careful to make the men leave their arms on the ship. and made a rush for the rope to cut lt‘and leave the captain to his: fate.

There was hardly a possi- hlllty they would be observed in that deserted land, but still it was wise to take precaution. The buccaneers were hungry and thirsty, but they were forced to do without everything until morning. when they could get all they wanted from the ship. So they tightened th-air belts and disposed themselves about the fires as best they could to get what rest they might. Morgan and the oficers drew apart and consulted long and earnestly over the situation. They could never make the ship seaworthy again. To build a smaller one out of her timbers would he. the work of months. and when it was finished it could not possibly carry the whole crew. To march westward toward the isthmus meant to encounter terrific hardships for days; their pres- ence would speedily become known, and they would be constantly inenaced or attacked by troops from the heavily garrisoned places like Porto Bello and Cartagena. Back of them a short dis- tance away lay La Guayra. It could be taken by surprise, Morgan urged. and easily captured. If they started to march westward the Indiana would apprise the Spaniards of their pres- ence and they would have to fight their way to the Pacific. If they took La Guayra, then the Viceroy, with the treasure of his palace and the opulent city of Caracas, would be at their mer- cy. They could ravage the two towns, seize the first ship that came to the rosdstead and make their way to the isthmus safely and speedily. As to the treasure on the gaileon, the buccaneer captain proposed to unlosd it and bury it in the sand and utter they had cap- tured La Gusyra it would be easy to get it back agaln. Morgan’s counsel prevailed, and his was the resolution to which they came. The council of war broke up thereafter, and those not told on to watch with the guards went to sleep near the fires. Morgan, under the guardianship of the- faithful Black Dog. threw himself upon. the ground to catch a few hours’ rest. The next morning the wind bud died away and the sea was fairly calm. The men swam out to the galleon, found her still intact, though badly otralned, and by means of boats and rafts, working with persistent energy, Incceeded in landing and burying the treasure under the very palm tree them salvation. Harm’s plan was an excellent one, the best that could be suggested in the straits they men were, and it received the hearty assent of all the men.

Taking ! a detachment of the most reliable men, ‘ with Velaers and Hornlgold, and bid- ding the other oflicere and men to stand where they were until he sent word, Morgan and those with him ran rapidly forward until they came toxthe ambuscade which young Teach had artfully prepared.

Wait- ing until the man 112"". passed him a short distance and will the other un. suspicious travelers u" re fairly abreast the lien in wait, whoz. . the had charged on no account to mow until he gave the word, Morgan stayed out into the open and called. The buccaneers in- stantly followed him. ., -_..-_ -77 As the soldier saw these fierce look- ing men spring before him out of the darkness he cried aloud. The next moâ€" ment he .was shot dead by Morgan him- self. At the same instant a volley rang out at contact range, and every man in the party fell to the ground. Some were killed, others only wounded. All of them except Alvarado were injured in some .way. He struck spurs into his horse when M heard the cry of Fa- drique and the shot. The surprised barb plunged forward, was hit by half a dozen bullets, fell to the ground in a heap and threw his rider over his head. The Spaniard scrambled to his feet. whipped out his sword, lunged for- ward and drove his blade into the breast of old Velsers. The next in- stant a dozen weapons flashed over his head. One rang upon his steel casque; another crashed against the polished breusl’plate that he wore. He cut out mum in the darkness and once more fleshed his weapon. Women‘s screams rose above the tu- mult. Beating back the swords which menaced him, although he was reeling from the blows which he had received, Alvarado strove to make his way to- ward Donna Mercedes when he was seized in the darkness from behind. 3â€"1611 him!" cried a voice in English, which Alvarado and Mercedes both un- derstaod perfectly. “He's the only one alive.” “311v,” cried another voice, stronger and sterner, “save him.

Greatly surprised and unable to com- prehend anything but that his men had been slaughtered and no harm had as yet befallen his charges, Alvarado. whose arms had been bound to his side, found himself dragged along in the wake of his captors, one or two of whom, mounted on the unwounded horses, with the two women between them, rode rapidly down the road. NE hundred yards or so beyond the place of the ambush the road dropped sharply over the last did to the narrow strand which led to the west wall of La Guay- to, distant halt a mile away. They had all been under the deep shadow of the thick trees overhanging the way until this instant, but in the faint light out by the moon just rlsen Alvarado could see- that a great body of people were congregated before hlm on the road. Who they were and what they were he could not surmise. He was not long left in doubt, however. for the same voice whose commanding tones had caused his life to be spared now called for lights. The demand was obeyed with a promptnen that bespoke tear. indeed, or discipline of the stern- at, and soon the captives found them- oelvea 1n n clrcle of lurid llxht sent forth by a number of blazing ton-hes. 'flle lllumlnag‘on revealed to Alvarado u vlllalnous and terrible looking a body of men as he had ever seen. The first glance convinced him tint they were not Spanish brigauds or robbers. He was too young to have had dealings with the bucoaneers of the put gen- eration, but he realized that if any such remained on this side of the earth they must be like these men who sur rounded him.
