Lord Willoughby and the Admiral were already aboard the Vicâ€" torieuse. As they swung off to the rescue of Hagthorpe, Blood, from the quarterdeck of the conquered vessel,' looked his last upon the ship that had. served him so well, the ship that had become to him almost as a part of himself. A moment she rocked after her release, then slowly and gradually settled down, the water gurgling and eddying about her topmasts, all that remained visible to mark the spot: where she had met her death. ! and Hagthogpe‘s followers were being driven back aboard their own ship for the second time. Whilst Pitt and his seamen bore their part with the sails, and Ogle went below with a gun crew, Blood ordered the grapnels to be loosâ€" _ And their own they made her in the end, at a cost of néarly half their numbers. Rivarol went down with a bullet in his head, and the French remnant, numbering scarcely a score of whole men, called for quarter. Even then the labors of Blood‘s men were not at an end. The Elizaâ€" beth and the Medusa were tightâ€"locked, impossible, for there was not ship to which they could retreat, and here they must prevail and make the Vicâ€" torieuse their own or perish.

And now he came racing up, his bugle sounding the charge, the main host of the bucâ€" caneers following him, whilst the vanâ€" guard, led by the gunner Ogle, who had been driven from his guns by water in the gunâ€"deck, leapt shouting to the prow of the Victorieuse, to whose level the high poop of the waterâ€"logged Arabella had sunk. Led now by Blood himself, they launched themselves upon the French like hounds upon the stag they have brought to bay. After them went others, until all had gone, and none but Willoughby and the Dutchman: were left to watch the fight from the‘ quarterdeck of the abandoned Ara-" bella.

' "So," said van der Kuylen. vhy shoul_d dad dedain you?" _ "And meanwhile," he complained to hig Admiral, "I am detained here by the absence of this fool of a Deputyâ€" Governor." ' It was not until the evening of the following day that van der Kuylen‘s ;truant fleet of nine ships came to anchor in the harbor of Port Royal, and its officers, Dutch and English, were made acquainted with their Adâ€" miral‘s true opinion of their worth. Six ships of that fleet were instantâ€" ly refitted for sea. There were other West Indian settlements demanding the visit of inspection of the new Govâ€" ernorâ€"General, and Lord Willoughby was in haste to sail for the Antilles. When the cost of that victory came to be counted, it was found that of 320 |buccaneers who had left Cartagena ‘w'ith Captain Blood, a bare hundred | remained sound and whole. The Elizaâ€" !beth had suffered so seriously that it was doubtful if she could ever again be rendered seaworthy, and Hagâ€" thorpe, who had so gallantly comâ€" manded her in that last action, was dead. Against this stood the factsâ€" that Blood‘s buccaneers had saved Jaâ€" maica from bombardment and pillage, and they had captured the fleet of M. Rivarol, and seized for the benefit of King William the splendid treasure which she carried. | vivid eyes looked out preternaturally bright, and from those eyes two tears had ploughed each a furrow through the filth of his cheeks. 99 HIS EXCELLENCY, THE COVERNOR CHAPTER XxXxI he‘conplained to ‘ rr abwrnr C ronla 16e 5 3e SnaRlained t9 PLARED SKIRTS ARE SHOWN ON evening of the n der Kuylen‘s ships came to of Port Royal, can _ _Colonel Lindbergh says that schools that graduate men as filers with as few as ten hours to their credit conâ€" stitute the greatest menace to aviaâ€" tion. _ Here is evidently one place where flyâ€"byâ€"night educational methâ€" ods positively should be controlled. me if you will, you may when you will, but always I will try to keep my rudder true.‘" Rudyard Kipling also spoke, "I often think that It‘tis a dangerâ€" ous to the morale of a country to get rich too quickly as it is to an indiviâ€" dual.

He had hopped off from Mills Field, San Francisco, for Honolulu, his first stop in the long ocean flight. In an "air pocket," the fier‘s term for a variation in air density, his plane suddenly began to spin down. His center bracing wires snapped under thk strain of the heavy gasoline load, and as the plane turned upside down, his charts, food and instruments were thrown into the ocean. "I‘m going to try again," ho said laughingly. "I‘m going to fix the ship and fly her back to San Frapcisco.

The screw is not as usual in the stern of the vessel, but in front beneath the water, in a hollow or funâ€" nel in the ship‘s bow. The water sucked in by the screw is pushed through tubes on either side and is spouted through splits opening in the middle of the vessel‘s sides. The hinder part is provided with proturâ€" berances resembling the scales of the; shark. | As a result of his zoological studies Borner set to constructing a completeâ€" ly new type of boat, which has been tried with success on the River Elbe.

The water swallowed by the j trout was spouted through his gills | with force, much as a man swimming pushes the water with his feet. Mr. Borner came to the conclusion that the fish‘s gills are used for the purâ€" pose of accelerating motion. This discovery is in accordance with the observation that swiftly swimming fishes have larger gills than a slow species, This was a first step in his studies. _A further question was whether the protruding scales of sharks, the purpose of which has not been explained hitherto, are not likeâ€" wise used in swimming Mr. Borner observed that the whirls of water spouted through the gills were utilizâ€" ed to accelerate the forward motion by giving increased impulse when breaking against and turning around the protuberances on the sides of the shark.

His invoéntion is closely connected with his study of fish. He observed trout for some time, and the result of his observations was the conviction that the fish‘s gills are not exclusively breathing organs. It had been more or less universally taken for granted that the impulse for mo.â€" tion is given by the tail fin, the side fin enabling the fish to balance and to rise or sink.

The natives, he said, crave for the medicine carried by the white huntâ€" cors, and will felgn idliness and resort to all sorts of excuses to bo ministerâ€" ed to. * The chief delicacy to African naâ€" tives, Sterling said, were the eyes of a gazelle, which are devoured without cooking. While the African wives devoted less time than their better halves to their personal upkeep, he said, they religiously kept tabs on the number of years they were married by a curiâ€" ous but crude necklace of wire rings strung about the neck. "At night the blacks would wear a stockinglike cap to keep their headâ€" dress in order. When they would reâ€" move this in the morning some of thm would look even more beautiful than their women folks." _ _"I noticed among our gun bearers that care of their braided tresses came before the polishing and oiling of our rifies," he said. "They would let their hair grow, smear it with a combination of rustâ€"coloked grease and clay and use the same mixture to give a heightened color to their choeks. It is the men of Africa who primp and paint, not the women, according to Sterling. The bucks are most meticulous about their hair, he said, while the native women clip their locks closely and give it little care. :« That native African husbands inâ€" sist upon their nights out and their stag parties as an inalienable right was amohg the observations of F.

He was more impressed, he said, with his study of the characteristics and mode of living of the natives who went to make up his safari, or hunt» ing party, of 140 native porters than he was with his experiences as a buntâ€" er.
