We did not gnin the boat without
trouble, and my sword streamed afresh
.before wo reached her. In went Willie
'plump on to the floor ltonrds like a
sack of grain, and desperately I strain'ed
every muscle to get ber afloat. Inch
by inch it was done, while tho light
surged nearer and nearer to us. Every
man of the English was far too busy

her into four feet of water. Rushing

i ahoutlng to our lads to gain the shore

boat, and the Spaniards followed shoulder
deep into the water. But they
I could not touob us there. Two hands
"were lopped off as they clung to the

shores with tbo paddles took us Into
^deep water.

"Captain 1-eland, not scratched? The

"No fault o' the captain's," put In Wll- .
lie Trehalion, "for 1 watched hliu. No 1
fault o' them Spanish devils neither. <
He was ever where the blows was the ,
thickest, an they rained them on him ]

"Good luck armored me," said Alec. |
"Come, lads, out oars again and give (

up on the stern thwart and steer? I've ,
shipped the rudder." <
"Aye, aye, captalu! Or row, either, at ,

though but for Master Topp 1 should 'a' (

had shrunk so wi' the water that

"You know the Island that shields
the harbor mouth?"
"Yea, captain. Shelter Island wo
called It."
"It's steep, too, on this Nldo, but there
should be a sloping beach to norrard.
Make round for there and see If you
can't put us nshore. Now, lads, give
way with a will."
The night was pitchy dark, but the
Loatswain's solitary eye pierced the
blackuess and steered us on an arrow's
course till he made the (.'arrack rock.
Then, bearing away a point to the westward,
he guided us by the direction of
the occau swell and by the fanning of
a light westerly hrcexc which had
again sprung up toward what he Judged

"Now." said Alec after wounds hud
been dressed as well as circumstances
would permit and we had thrown our
weary IkkIIch to rest on a bed of short,
dry moss, "who can make a traclug on
the chart of the future?"
"J should like another cut at the
dons, captain, an with a better weapon
In my band than a charred wood billet,"
said one of the men promptly,
and a deep voiced assent bummed
round the assembly,
"They hain't got much worth taking
In that cave o' theirs," said Willie Trehallon,
"but there should be tidy pickings
on the old carrack. There were a
gould crucifixion In the after cabin, an
a tale was golug about that Don Miguel
always carried his private hoard In
the looker under his berth."
"What say you. Jack?" said Alec to
mc in a whisper.
"Have at 'em whenever we get a
chance," I replied briskly.
"Nosing the plunder, eh. old sea
thief?" lie said, with :i laugh, and then
In louder tones for nil to hear: "I'm
with you. one and all. in not. letting
the dons rest In peace. . What's your
plan, Willie?"
"Stay here an recruit till we are
sound," replied the boatswain, "an then
catch them napping some night in their
cave an smoke them like badgers."
"I fear," said Mec, "they will keep
too good a watch to lie trapped like
that. But with our other lads"?
"What other lads, captain?" asked
half a dor en voices eagerly.
"Has no one told how we rose on
the Spaniards In the galley and after
taking her by storm were wrecked
among the breakers?*'
"No. captain, but It's brave news.
How many o' you are there?"
Alec gave hem an account of all that
lia<l befallen us and told them the
names of the lads who were saved.
"And now." be said when he had finished.
"launch me the boat, and I'll
take this fair wind across to Galley Island
ami bring tlieni back with me."
"Best take a second hand, captain."
"No: he would onlj* bo nnothcr>*jj?:
bring back, and the load will be henVyT ?f
enough anyway. The boat has her
mast and sail stowed nlong the
thwarts, and this breeze will hold long
enough to carry me over."
80 we ran the boat down, waded out
and helped her through the breakers
and then returned to our moss beds,
where, In spite of our wounds, we slept
sounder and more comfortably than
we had 3*ct done since first we fell Into
the hands of the Spaniards, many
months ago. at the fight by the mountain
torrent. Ah. me! Mauy n brave
iad that was full of life and hope on
that day was now nslcep beneath the
waves. Our search for El Dorado had
not brought us much luck as yet, but
we still hoped. Ana when men liave
hope, who shall say that any quest Is
vain?
CHAPTER XVII. 5
Waking when the morning sun was s
high in the heavens, we found him they 'n
called the cordwalucr lying stark and ^
stiff. Poor lad, he had better stuck to r
his cobbllug bench and left ndventur- v
ing in the western seas to tougher bodies
and more contented minds! For in j
life he was ever grumbling and com- ,
plaining, as Is often the case with those
of his craft, and in death lie made but rj
a thin and weakly corpse. We gave t
him the best burial we could, digging v
the grave with sword blades and piling
it high with sea worn bowlders, and k
then set ourselves, those of us who j,
could walk, to hunting for breakfast. .
The search was not mnrked by any n
overpowering success. Our Island was g
sparsely wooded with low scrub, but ^
Its parched surface bore no fruit trees. y
Birds there were in plenty, but we ^
could not cntch them. And so we had
to be contented with a ineal of shell- g
fish, of which fortunately the rocks
yielded an Inexhaustible store. At first
we hoped to have been able to cook
these, for many of us had seen the In- a
(Hans light u fire by sharply mbbiug a e
small pencil of wood nloug a larger c
block, nnd we knew that Willie Tro- a
ballon, though he never acquired the
true heathen dexterity, had often sue- c
reeded in imitating them. Now, how- i!
ever, we had not the proper sort of j
timber, and the various makeshifts we
tried refused even to smolder. So, as 0
one of'the Cornishmen said, "We had t
e'en to fancy ourselves hakey fish an a
swallow the baits raw." t
The chief thing, however, which fc
made it imperative that our stay on c
the island should be brief was the com- c
plete lack of fresh water. Search high, |,
search low, we could find neither a
stream ppr spring, aud had It not been s
that there were g few rain filled pools c
lying here pnd there among the rocks
we should hardly under such n sun as ;
now bent down upon us have lived out

After breakfast Willie Thehallon and
I had a talk.
"There's half a (tale blowing from
the east'ord. Master Topp. an like to

laden boat to cross without swamping.

Dr. George D. Leetch, formerly
c n medical examiner in the Pension
Bureau, who has just returned from
, South Africa, where he served a year
as Surgeon in the British Army, said
s of existing conditions over there:
, "The war in South Africa is by no
l means ended, and it is liable to coni,
tinue tor a long time yet. Of course
i it is guerrila, rather than actual warJ
fare, but it is for this reason that the
Boers will be able to keep up the

" Chamberlain's Cough Remedy as
directed and a quick recovery is surs
to follow. That remedy counteracts
any tendency of the grip to result in
