In the end, though, it took him a fortnight, Blood bubbled him. He sent me and most 0‘ the men off in a frigate that I bought for the voyâ€" age. His gameâ€"as he‘d socretly told meâ€"was to follow and give chase. Whether that‘s the game he played or not I can‘t tell ye; but here he is afore me as I‘d expected he would be."

"I have here a copy of the articles into which you entered with M. de Cussy. â€" Before going further, I have to observe that M. de Cussy has exceeded his instrueâ€" tions in admitting you to oneâ€"fifth of' the prizes taken.

In that same mood he greotâ€" |ed M. le Baron de Rivarol when this lmbleman with his fleet of five menâ€" ofâ€"war at last dropped anchor alongâ€" side the buccaneer ships in the middle of February. J | They came and the matter was laid before them by M. de Cusy himself. | Yberville, the young French filibuster, had the honor to point out to M. de [ Cussy that the share offered was too ‘small. â€" For oneâ€"fifth of the prizes, lthe officers would answer for their _men; not for less. ‘ M. de Cussy finally consenting to exceed his instructions, the articles were drawn up and signed that very day. The buccaneers were to be at Petit Gouve by the end of January, when M. de Rivarol had announced that he might be expected. ,‘ Captain Blood considered. This was not piracy that was being proposed. It was honorable employment in the service of the King of France. "I will consult my officers," he said, and he sent for them. ‘*With the rank of Capitainec de Vaisseau for yourself, and suitable ranks for the officers serving under you. You will enjoy the pay of that rank, and you will be entitled, toâ€" gether with your men, to oneâ€"tenth share in all prizes taken." i Blood looked at him wi kindling of interest.
