t>uips onu so have allowed thent to conceutrate
ou our course and cut us off.
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!

* '. That (W'Vrt-.nlly put an end to our dl
v plomaey. so 1 gave the order to lire a!

I- Meanwhile Alec aud his men ha
c been working like furies and tossin
their guns about like child's toys, rah
c- lng such a shower of broken shot Inl
3 his hull from their lesser elevation thi
his lower deck must have been alrno:
untenable.

f- stones. His running rigging, lioivvi
i? was pretty well eut to pieces, and
n, we bad hnlf n dozen good bowmen 81
ip tloncd ready wbo sept a clotbyn
lo sbaft through the ribs of every in
lo who set a foot ou Ids ratlines be I
lit pretty helplessly bend to wind, wltb I
tt- remaining sails In tbc most tlioron
vo confusion. Had we been able to pi
tbe game out at long bowls we cot
I cither have sunk him or reduced t
he number of his craw sufficiently to
id, low us to carry bim by boarding, I
ve tbe other two Spanish ships wore be
-ee log up to am} on her next tack f
nearest would bo within gunshot.
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

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

standing up and beating his fist on th
table In time with his sentences, "I't
