SIR HENRY MORGAN, BUCCANEER By CYRUS TOWNSEND BRADY, Author of "The Southerners,** "Fer Love of Country," "The Grip of Honor,** Etc. ? . COPYRIGHT. 1903. BY G. W. DILLINGK AM COMPANY - - I I I I I ? I r r,,. m m-m II I m ~ As Alvarado* with an" ejaculation ??ty^ bent forward in the moonlight to look upon the face of the dead wo Snan from his torn doublet a silver cru? cifix suddenly swung before the eyes .of the old buccaneer. "By heaven!" he cried. '"Tis the ^^?OSS." He stepped nearer, seized the carven ^r?ei?x and lifted it to the light. "I could swear it was the same," he ton tiered, "Senor, your name and "I ?cannot conceive that either con? oceros s bloodthirsty ruffian like" .~**Stop! Perhaps there is more in ^this than thou thinkest" said M?rce? nteles. "Tell him, Alvarado. It can do tao harm. Oh, senor, have pity on us! *My mo?er!B . Unbind mel" she added.

"Now, sir,, your name?" asked Horni? goid again. ^Alvarado." *** Where got you that name?" ^It was given me' by his excellency the viceroy." ""And wherefore?"

At present I know but one thing?* .That is" TEhere lies your mother," answered ^She buccaneer slowly, pointing to the white figure ou the sand. **My moiherl" cried Alvarado, step? ping forward and looking down upon the upturned face, with its closely cut White bair, showing beautiful in the moonlight "God rest her soul: She hath a lovely face and died in defense j ?at her honor like the gentlewoman she j Should be.

"And i mzy I do the like when my time comes. ! Thou shouldst be proud of her, my Al? varado," she said, looking up at him. "See!" she cried suddenly as the re? semblance, which was indeed strong between them, struck her. "Thou hast ! her face. Her white hair was once ' golden like thine. He tells the truth. Oh, sir, have pity upon us!" A messenger came staggering to? ward them across the woods. "Master Hornigold." he cried. "Aye, aye " "We've taken 'the town. The cap? tain" wants you and your prisoners. You'll find him in the guardroom." I "We must be gone," said nornigold. "Rise, mistress. Come, sir." "But this lady," urged Alvarado-his lips could scarcely form the unfamiliar j word "mother"-"and the good priest? You will not leave them here?" "The rising tide will bear them out to sea." "A moment, by your leave," said Alvarado, stepping toward the dead. Assisted by Mercedes, for he was still bound, he stooped down-and touched his lips to those of the dead woman, whispering a prayer as he did so. Ris? ing to his feet he cried: "But my father! Who is he? Who was he?" "We shall find that out." "But His name?" "Tm not sure: I cannot tell now," answered Hornigold evasively, "but with this clew the rest should be easy. Trust me, and when we can discuss this matter, undisturbed" ."But! would know now!" "You forget, young sir. that you are a prisoner and must suit your will to my pleasure. Forward!" But th? soul of the old buccaneer was filled with fierce joy. He thought he knew the secret of the crucifix now. The Spanish captain's mother lay dead upon the sands, but his father lived. He was sure of it. He would free Alvarado and bring him down up? on Morgan. He chuckled with fiend? ish Sel?ghf as lie Empec? along. ?Te had his revenge;now; it lay in the ho!- ! low of his hand, fend 'twas a rare one j indeed. Mercedes being bound again. ] the little party marched across the ! beach, and tue bodies of. the priest a^J the nun were left alone while the night tide came rippling up the strand. Scarcely had the party disappeared within the gate of the fort when the priest slowly and painfully lifted him? self on his hands and crawled toward the woman. While the buccaneer had talked with the abbess he had returned to consciousness and had listened. Bit by bit he gathered the details of her story, and, in truth, he knew it of old. By turning his head he had seen the crucifix 0:1 the young man's breast, and he alr.o had recognized it. He lay still and silent, however, feigning death, for to have discovered himself would have resulted in his instant dispatch. When they had gone he pain? fully crawled over to the body of the poor nun. "Isabella," he murmured, giving her her birth namer "thou didst suffer. ?Slay them. O God!" Thou tookest thine own life, but the loving God will forgive thee. I am glad that I had strength and courage to absolve thee before I fell. And I dit} not know thee. 'Tis so many years since. Thy son, that brave young cap? tain-I will see thee righted. I won? der" Ile moved nearer to her, scrutinizing her carefully, and then the old man opened the front of her gown. "Aye, aye; I thought so," he said as j his eye caught a glimpse of a gold chain against her white neck. Gently he lifted it, unclasped it, drew it forth. There was a locket upon it. Jewels sparkled upon its surface. She had worn it? all these years. "O vanitas vanitatum!" murmured the priest, yet compassionately. "What is it that passes the love of woman?" | He slipped it quietly within ,?the breast of his habit and then fell pros- j trate on the san.], faint from pain and loss of blood. Long tin? two figures lay there in the moonlight while the rising tide lipped the shining sands. The cool water at last restored consciousness to one of the still forms; bul, though they laved the beautiful face of the other with tender caresses, they could not call back the troubled life that had | passed into peaceful eternity. Pain- ? fully the old priest raised himself up- j on his hands and looked about him. . j "O God," he murmured, "give me i strength to live until I can tell the? j story. Sister Maria Christina-Isa? bella that was-thou wert brave and j thou werf beautiful; thou hast served OUT holy church long and well. If I j <??? ? some consecra ea_g io thine malle.-;. a-g---an-a-ML holy e'en the sea which shall hear the< away. Shriven thou wert: buried thoa shalt be." The man struggled to hi? knees, clasped his hands before him and be? gan the burial service of his ancient church. "We therefore commit her body into the great deep," he said, "looking for the general resurrection in the last day and the life of the world to come" - The water was washing around him ere he finished his mournful ta k. and with one long look of benison and fare? well he rose to his feet and staggered along the road down the beach. Slow? ly he went, but presen: ly he reached the turn where began the ascent of the mountain. Before he proceeded he halted and looked long toward the Haming, shrieking, ruined, town. The flooding tide was in nov.- and the breakers were beating and thundering far across the sands. The body of the abbess was gone. The old man drew himself up. lifted his trembling hands and prayed: he prayed again for the soul of the wom? an: he prayed for the young man. that he might learn the truth; he prayed for the beautiful damsel who loved him: he prayed for the people, the hap? less people, of the doomed town, the helpless women, the bereft mothers, the tortured men. the murdered chil? dren, and as he prayed he called down the curse of God upon those who had wrought such ruin. "Slay them, O God! Strike ana spare not! Cut them off root and branch who have despoiled thy people Israel. They have taken the sword, and may they perish by it as was promised of ? old!" A gray, grim, gaunt figure, blood stained, pale, he stood there in that ghastly light, invoking the judgment . Of; God upon Morgan and his men ere j he turned away and was lost in the ! darkness of tte mountain. CHAPTER XVII. HE clock on the wall was strik? ing ll as Hornigold forced his prisoners into the guardroom of the first fort that had been cap? tured, which, as it was the larger of the two, Morgan had selected as his headquarters. Mercedes' soul had turn? ed to stone at the sights and sounds which met her as she passed through the town, where the hellish revelry was now in full blast. The things she wit? nessed and heard were enough to ap? pall the stoutest heart that ever beat within the rudest breast. She forgot her own danger in her sympathy for the suffering inhabitants of the devoted town. Ghastly pale and sick with hor? ror, she tottered and staggered as she entered the room. As for the Senora Agapida, she had collapsed long since, and for the 1n?t hundred yards of the journey had beer dragged helplessly along by two of her captors, who threw her in a senseles bi ap on rae stone j flagging of T':e great vaulted chamber. j The agony and suffering, the torture j and death, the shame and dishonor of his people affected Alvarado different? ly. His soul flamed within his breast with pity for the one, rage for the oth? er. He lusted and thirsted to break away and single handed rush upon the human wolves and tigers who were de? spoiling women, torturing men, mur? dering children, as if they had been devils. The desire mastered him, and be writhed and struggled in his bonds, but unavailingly. It was a haggard, distracted pair, therefore, which was brought before the chief buccaneer. Morgan sat at the head of the guardroom on a platform, a table before him strewn with reckless prodigality with vessels of gold and silver, stolen from altar and sideboard indifferently, some piled high with food, others brimming with a variety of liquors, from the rich old wines of Xeres to the fiery native rum. L'Oilo nois. Teach and De Lussan were also in the room. Teach was roaring out a song, that song of London town, with its rollicking chorus: "Though life now is pleasant and sweet to the sense. We'll be 'damnably moldy a hundred years hence." The room was full of plunder of one sort and another, and the buccaneers were being served by frightened negro slaves, their footsteps quickened and their obedience enforced by the sight of a_dead black in one corner whom De Lussan had knifed a. short Time since because he had been slow in coming to his call. The smell o| spill? ed liquor, of burnt powder and of ? blood, indescribable and sickening, hung in the close, hot air. Lamps and candles were flaring and spluttering in the room, but the greater illumination came through the open casements from the roaring fires of burning houses out? side. The temptation to join in the sack of the town had been too much for Hornigold's remaining men; conse? quently he and those conveying Senora Agapida alone attended the prisoners, j These last, after throwing the duenna recklessly upon the floor, hurried out after the rest, leaving the officers and women alone. "Silence!" roared Morgan as his eye fell ui)on the group entering the lower end of the great hall. "Pipe down, thou bellowing bull!" he shouted. | throwing a silver cup that Cellini j might have chased at tho hoad of the j half drunken Teach. "Who's there? ; Belittle me, 'tis our spitfire and the gal- i hint cai ?tain, with that worthy seaman, Hornigold! Advance, friends. Thou art welcome to our cheer. Drive them forward, Hornigold!" he cried as he saw Mercedes and Alvarado made no attempt to move. "Advance quickly," whispered Hor? nigold to Alvarado; "to cross him now were death." Seizing thom with a great show of foree, he shoved them down the hall to the foot of tim platform, in front of the revelers. "I welcome theo to our court, fair j lady, and you, hm ve slr. What say ye. j gentles all? Rum for tho noble cap '"I drink with no murderer." said Al? varado firmly, thrusting tho negro who profLered him a glass violentlv asido with ?us shoulder, causing him to topple over, drenching himself with the liquor. '*Ha! Is it so?" laughed Morgan in a terrible manner. "H.irk Vc. my y rann cock, thou shalt crave and beg ;u:<J pray for another drink ai my hand j presently-and get it not. But there i; I another cup thou shalt drink-aye. an . that to the drop;. Back, jon! i would speak with thc lady. Well. I> mi:; Mercedes." he continued, "art si ?li that prideful mood:" Silence. Tho girl stood erect disdain? fully looking him full in the face. "I shall break thee yet, proud wench." he shouted. ..Conic hither! What, you move not? Black Dog! Black Dog, I say!" The huge maroon lurched from be? hind his master's chair, whore he had lain half drunken. "Fetch me that woman!" Mercedes was bound and could not at first release her hands, but as the maroon shambled toward her she sprang back, struggling. ..Alvarado. Alvarado!" she screamed. "Help me: save me!" Bike a maddened bul!, though Iiis hands were bound also. Alvarado threw himself upon the negro. The force with which he struck him hurled him backward, and the two fell to tho floor, the maroon beneath. Iii-; head struck a eornor:of the step with a force that would have killed a white man. In an instant, however, the negro was on his feet. He whipped out his dag? ger and would have plunged it into the breast of the prostrate Spaniard had not Mercedes, lightly bound-for, being a woman, they thought it not necessary to be unusually severe in her lashings wrenched free her hands and caught the half breed's upraised arru. ..Mercy!" she screamed, while strug? gling to divert the blow, looking to? ward Morgan. "Hold your hand, Black Dog," an? swered that worthy. "Leave the man and conic hither. This is thy first ap? peal, lady. You know my power at last, eh? Down on your knees and beer for his life!" Instantly Mercedes sank.to her knees and stretched out her hands, a piteous, appealing, lovely figure. ? "Spare him. spare him!" she cried. ! "What would you do for him?" "My life for. his," she answered bravely. ''Nay, Mercedes." interposed Alvara? do; "let him work his will on me." "There are worse places, thou seest lady, titan by my side," sneered Mor? gan. "By heaven, 'twas a pretty play, was it not, mates? I spare him, but remember 'tis for you. Harry Mor? gan's way. Now reward me. Hitner, T sin !" "Captain Morgan." cried Hornigoid, suddenly interrupting him, bethink ?ne you should send men to seize the mountain pass that leads to Caracas at once, else we may "have troops upon us in the morning." It was a bold diversion, and yet it j succeeded. There could be no safe feasting in La Guayra with that open road. Morgan had overlooked it, but the boatswain's words recalled it to him. For a moment he forgot the pris- j oners. Safety was a paramount con? sideration. "That's well said, Hornigoid," cried Morgan, who was not so drunk that he could not realize the practical value of Hornigold's suggestion and the great danger of disregarding his advice. "The pass must be seized at all hazard. With that in our possession we may bide our time. I thought to wait until tomorrow, but you're right. Y\*e've feasted and drunk enough for the night. Guards for the pass now. But how to get them?" He rose to his feet as he spoke and came down the hail. "Teach and L'OlIonois, follow me!" he cried. "Gather up fifty of the so? berest men and lead them up the moun? tain road till you reach the pass, and then hold it till I come. Nay, no hesi? tation," he roared. "Canst not see the necessity? Unless we arc masters of that pass we are caught like rats in a trap here in La Guayra. Tomorrow or the next day we shall march up to- ? ward Caracas. Your share of the treasure shall be held safe. You shall have first consideration on the other side of the mountains. Nay, I will have it so!" He stamped his foot in I furious rage. "We've all had too much drink already." he continued. "Now we must make things secure. Hornigoid, take charge of this fort. I leave the I "Spare him!" ^^^^^^^^^^^^ prisoners with you. Guard them well. | Treat the lady well also. Do what you ? like with the other, only keep him ? alive. One of you send Braziliano to me. ne shall have the oilier fort. And you and I. M. de Lussan, will take ac- i count of the men here in the town and ; bring them into such order as we can." ; Although Teach and L'OlIonois bad ; no mind to leave the pleasures open to them in La Guayra, yet they were both men of intelligence and could easily see the absolute necessity for the precaution suggested by Hornigoid and accepted by their captain. If they held the passage over the mountains -and fifty mon could hold it against a thousand-no Spaniard could conic at ; them. So the little group, leaving the two prisoners and Hornigoid. sallied out into the infernal night. If was a difficult thing for them to find a suffi ?>?A?t niimhor nf sobor nirntPfl hilt hv ling they "at last gathered ~a force- of the least drunken knaves, with which they set forth on the road. The fires which had been wantonly kinuled in different places by the buc? caneers were makiug such headway that Morgan instantly saw that espe? cial efforts would be needed to preven: the complete destruction of the town. He wanted La Guayra for his base of supplies for the present, and with tre ! mendoas energy, seconded hy De Lus ) san and some of the soberer men. he ; routed out the buccaneers and set then ? to work. j "You have saved me for the mo ! mont." said Mercedes gratefully, turn ' tag \') Hornigold as he led her away I fro::: the hall. i " "Twas not for caro of you." hissed ? out the old man malevolently, "but j that fd fain hallt him in every desire i he cherishes, even of possessing you."

Alvarado was thrust into another. As ! soon as he could do so after making j some provision for the comfort of the ; women Hornigold came down to him. '"Senor." lie "said, "the band is drunk and helpless. One hundred resolute j men eoiud master them. Morgan ! means to march to Caracas tomorrow. ! He cannot get his men in shape to do "if I set you free' - so as long as the liquor flows in La Guayra. If I set you free what can you do?" ^ "There is a way over the mountains." answered Alvarado-"a secret way. It has been abandoned for fifty years, but I could -follow it to Caracas." "And once there, what then?" "There, if the viceroy be not gone, and I do not believe he has yet de : tal:'1 the city.** j "And if they be gone?" ?

"The men of Caracas love the daughter of the viceroy. They are not inexperienced in arms. I will lead them. The advantage of numbers will be with us. If you free me, I take it we will have a friend within the walls. Success is certain. We have too much to revenge," he added, his face flushing with rage at the thought of it all. "That's well," answered Hornigold. "If ? free you, what reward shall I j have?" "I will cover you with treasuit." "And guarantee my life and liberty?" "They shall be held inviolate." "Wc captured the Porto Bello plate I ship and were wrecked two days ago a i league or so to the westward. We buried the treasure. Shall I have my j share?" "All that thou canst take if the hon? or of the lady be preserved. I answer for the viceroy." "Will you swear it?" ! "Yes." i "That suffices. You shall go!" cried the buccancer. ali his objections satis? fied. "But as you love the woman lose no timo. I'll be at tho west gate under the rocks at 10 o'clock tomorrow night. You know it?" "Yes. Go on." "I'll open the gate for you and leave the rest to you. You must be there with your force. Now. go." "I shall be there. But I cannot leave without Donna Mercedes." "And you can't go with her. Think! Could she make her way over the mountains?" ! "No. no, but" "I'll watch over hov with my life." ? urged thc one eyed. "My share of the j treasure depends upon her safety, you said." "But Morgan"- - "I hate him with a hatred greater than thine." "Ile is thy captain." "He betrayed mo. and I swore to take such vengeance as was never heard be? fore, to make him suffer torments by my hand." "You would betray him?" "It was for that I carno with him. for that I live. Ho craves and covets tho Donna Mercedes. Ho shall not have her. Trust me to interpose at the last j moment." "Is th's true? Can I believe you?" "Else why should I jeopard my life by freeing you? I hate him. I tell you. Remember! The west gate! There are not 300 men here. The best fifty have gone with Teach and L'Ol lonois; tho rest aro drunken and cow? ards. Here an? weapons.

Down it Alvarado, first swearing again on the cross on his honor to respect his agreement with Hornigoid and again receiving the man's assurance, dropped hastily to the ground. There was no one . to look, and he dashed recklessly across the narrow strip of sand to the shadow of the cliffs, along whijh he ran until he came opposite tiie piace of his mother's death. The white water was rolling and crashing on the beaoh and the body was gone. With a hasty petition for the repose of her soul, he ran on until he reached the tum of the road. Unlike the priest, however, he did not pursue the mountain road, but after going a short distance he left; the way and plunged to the right through the trees directly up the side of the hill. His face was cut and slashed by Morgan's dagger; his soul had been racked and torn by the scenes he had gone through; the plight of Mercedes stirred him to the very depths; his heart yearned over the slaughtered gar? rison, the ruined town, but with a strength superhuman he plunged at the hill in spite of the forest, groping about in the darkness with frantic energy until he found the traces of a slender, rocky path which led over the moun? tains.
