CHAPTER XXX. THE LAST FIGHT OF THE ARABELLA. _ It was the afternoon of that same day, and the two buccaneer ships rocked gently with idly flapping sails under the lee of the long spit of land forming the great natural harbor of Port Royal. It was two hours and more since they had brought «up thereabouts, having crept thither unâ€" cbserved by the city and by M. de Rivarol‘s ships, and all the time the air had been aquiver with the roar of guns from sea and land, announcing that battle was joined between the French and the defenders of Port Roval. «' Hagenbeck to Have Branch in Nashua "Captain Blood, I discover greatâ€" ness in you," he said. "I‘ll be after telling you. Rivarol is a fool to take this chance, considerâ€" ing what he‘s got aboard. He carfied in his hold the treasure plundered from Lartagena, amounting to forty million livres." They jumped at the mention of that colossal sum. "He has gone ints Port Royal with it. Whether he defeats me or not, he doesn‘t come out of Port Roy§T with it again, and sooner cr later that treasure shall find its way into King William‘s coffers, after, say, oneâ€"fifth share shall have been paid to my buccaneers. Is that agreed, Lord Willoughby?" His lordship stood up, and shaking back the cloud of lace from his wrist, held out a delicate white hand. "If 1 can‘t defeat him, I can sink my own ships in the channel, and slock him in until Bishop gets back from his wildâ€"goose chase with his squadron, or until your own fleet turns up." "And what good will that he, pray?" demanded Willoughby. "Id is imbossible," said van der Kuylen, shaking his great head. "Seaâ€" manship is imbordand. Bud guns is gune." Both stared at him. "But the odds!" his lordship insisted. Both Lord Willoughby and the adâ€" miral were on their feet. "But you are not equal to it, damâ€" me!" cried his lordship. "Any one of the Frenchman‘s three ships is a match for both yours, my man." "In gunsâ€"aye," said Blood, and he smiled. "But there‘s more than guns that matter in these affairs.

But if she arrived with a lot of "hot jazz tunes, jJumbled up noises and seditious rhythms," let her prosâ€" pective mate "find the nearest exit and keep on going." The vital difference between East Africa and South Africa, according to Mr. Andrews, was the tropical cliâ€" mate of the former, and its natural position as an outlet for Indian emiâ€" gration. The freedom of immigration into East Africa from India was a naâ€" tural and historical right which he considered would have to form the basis of any settlement in those re. gions that would be acceptable to Inâ€" dia itsel!.â€"Christian Bclence Monitor. In an interview, Mr. Andrews said there were many things which were causing concern in South Africa when he went there. The European comâ€" munity as a whole was only tolerating the Indoâ€"Union agreement. It was Corsidered that the Union Ministers had yielded too much to Indian deâ€" mands, and that it would be imposâ€" sible to carry out the agreement fully without at least giving to the Indians in South Africa full citizenship rights, and a large proportion of Europeans were not prepared for such a concesâ€" slon. But since the agreement had been ratified by the Union Parliaâ€" ment and Srinivasa Sastri had gone out as India‘s Agentâ€"General in order | to carry out the Indian side of the‘ agreement, Europeans of all political parties within the Union were detcrâ€"l mined to play ‘the game and to give {the settlement a fair trial. ' ; Called Only One for Task 1 Mr. Andrews paid a high tribute to the great services Mr. Sastri was{ rendering in South Africa. His posiâ€" tion there was very different lromz that of an. ordinary agent or comâ€" , missioner he said. He was regarded | far more as an ambassador from Indla.! who had come over for the special: purpose of establishing peace and | goodwill. He was also regarded an | India‘s own representative with full authority to carry ovut the agreement from the Indian side in conjunction with the Ministers of the South Afriâ€" can Government. Thus, he had asâ€" sumed immediately, as a natural right, ‘the rank of a great Minister. I Mr, Andrews thought that Mr. Sasâ€" {tri was the only Indian who could work the Indoâ€"South African Agreeâ€" |ment successfully, The Ambassador | of India, he observed, was held in great ésteem by the leaders of South African opinion, who considered him to be an embodiment of all that was best in Indian life and culture. Proceeding, Mr. Andrews stated that already the change of affairs on the Indian question in South Africa had profoundly interested the Suroâ€" pean communities in Rhodesia and in the East African territories. It seemâ€" to him that the time was fully ripe for & similar settlement to be sought in these regions of Africa,through conâ€" ciliation, reason, and goodwill. East Africa Deemed Indian Outlet In Rbodesia, Mr. Andrews bad found the Italian situation greatly improved owing to the change of afâ€" fairs in South Africa. His â€" own strong impression was that within the next year an effort should be mado from both sides to come to some deâ€" finite understanding as to what was the true function of Great Britain and that of India in the promotion of East African civiliation in the future. The appointment of a royal ccmmisâ€" glon to deal with the subject of East African Federation, along with the promise that an Indian representative would be a member of that commisâ€" slon, pointed in the same direction, that of coming, if posgible, to an early settlement of the avhole Indian probâ€" lem in East Africa, parallel to that which Lad been reached in South Africa. Soon after his arrival, the situation hadtaken an amazing turn for the bet« ter, inasmuch as the young Nationalâ€" ists who had been raising an outery against the agreement were less antagonistic now, and the Indians there had recently accepted his mesâ€" sage of peace and unity. The color prejudice on the part of the whites was fast vanishing, and this was soleâ€" ly due to the influence of Mr. Sastrt‘s character and personality.
