Alec's plan was obviously the best, for when they saw I was steering plump for the southernmost one the others held quietly to their places !u the mouth of the buy. When I got within a cable's length, an otiicer hailed me. I waited as long as I dared and then answered, but apparently there was something wrong with my Spanish, for he replied angrily that 1 was drunk and an Insolent scoundrel for daring so to address hlin. At this Juncture one of my men. a soft hearted fellow, who knew enough ol the tongue to make out that the doc was using very free language to me, lei fly ut h^cW'With his gun and sent n three straight Into hi! ibreastplittifv * '. That (W'Vrt-.nlly put an end to our dl v plomaey. so 1 gave the order to lire a!

Alec therefore gave the word to run away west by south, before the wind, through the southern entrance of the bay. The order did not eouie a minute too soon, though the majority of us were so worked up by the excitement of the tight that we would never have noticed that it was high time for us to quit. We held on this course for about two hours, and then, as the sky had fortunately eloilded over ? ? Imnlful wind and stood duo south to give our pursuers a chance of passing us in the darkness. Tliey would never expect us to turn south, so wheu they missed us at daylight tlicy would naturally look for us to the northward if they continued the clinse. That was our theory. What they nctr.ndy did 1 cannot say. for we never saw them again. We held on this strategic course for a time, and on the second morning rose a brig coming toward us. and as every one at sc a is presumed a rogue until he is proved an honest man we cleared the decks for action and bent to quarters. As the stranger ncurcd us one of Alec's men recognized her as the brig Catchall, belonging to Captain Fleming, the well known freebooter. So as he was not likely to let such a vessel as our galleou pass without au overhaul we quite expected another tight. However, he drew within long hall and, bringing bis ship to, slgued that he wisueu to speak us. "What ship's that?"' "The brig Severn of Bristol. Alexander Ireland, master. What ship's that?" "Brig Catchall. Captain Fleming. What's the galleon?" "The Lope de Vega of Vigo, a prize to the Severn." "How tho thunder did you get hold of her?" "Fought for her." "Then Is there war with Bpixtn?" "I think so." "You think so?" Then followed some talk with his own people which we could not hear. "Will you lie to and let me bring my boat alongside? I'm honest as the whole bench of bishops today." "Aye, aye!" Alec called on me to come on board the Severn, and presently a weather beaten, thickset man of middle age was rowed across to us. We went below and pledged one another In a jack of ale (as tho Severn's hold was still tilled with wheat Instead of the cargo of Spanish wine we had expected to bring back), and then Captain Fleming was told of the seizure and tight In Vigo bay. lie listened attentively, nodding his grizzled head at every sentence, but making no remark until he lind heard flip whole storv. "It was n lucky, plucky escape, captain," he said, looking approvingly at Alec, "and one that decs credit to the stufting of your headpiece. But make no error about Its being an affair of unauthorized Individuals. It Is the beginning of war, I tell you, and a bloody ffflS 'StKlH J>?-_r.v.e seen it comlnar foe gathered Into all the ports, aud great nobles are chartering vessels for other purposes tliau honest trade or a little free cruising. King Philip of Spain will make a big move before long. Mark my words, sir." "England will be ready for him when he does," replied Alec proudly. "Aye, lad, 1 warrant she will, bui It*8 time she was stirring, or the Span lards?curse the whole nation of then ?will be cruising about the Englisl channel and up to Loudon town befor any of us are many months older Now, Captaiu Ireland," he continued standing up and beating his fist on th table In time with his sentences, "I't a freebooter and an outlaw; bu though there's many an Engllshma would be glad to hear that I was dea< I love my country with the best c them.
