The taking of this store of powder and pearls at El Pueblo tie! Norte was in every way a lucky stroke, for. besides giving ns the means for ft; ture battles, it put al! hands in conceit with their captain and their craft Moreover, it was something prosperous to look back upon during the ptolitless time that followed. After cleariug the reefs of the harbor we ran round to patrol the well used highway nt the hack of the island lying behind the rocky shelter of Cochc, which is separated frotu Marghorita by a strait two leagues in width ami darting out when a quarry appeared Six times in six weeks we were engaged, hut the prey was after Alec's heart, not mine. We grievously annoyed the subjects of ids majesty of Spain, but all that we rilled from their pockets would not have melted down iuto n deep setl lead. The explanation is simple. ICaeh craft we brought to and overhauled was westward bound, carrying ar packed cargo of lank, lean dons from the old world to till their pauper pockets front the wealth of the new. tjuitc one-half of each ba.k's sallow company was rotting with scurvy, a result of the long passage out; and as sick nu n who have 110 wealth but the ragged clothes or. their hacks to defend will not tight des peralely for the fortunes they have yet to gain, uotte of these encounters cost one drop of l-htglish blood, in leed five slijps out of the six U??ve to at the first shot and surrendered without further resistance. Now. though I know that it goes against an' Knglish seaman's grain to resort to extreme measures in cold blood, still prudence is a jade ilia: iU-cds attention as well as the more highly mettled steed chivalry, and so I and almost all the Scourge's crow with me saw tit .to expostulate with our captaiu 011 his treatment of the prisoners.

On deck 1 was loyal to tny captain, cs was iny duty, but in the cabin I spoke my thoughts freely, as was a sworn shipmate's privilege. "The crew is getting surly." I told him one day. "with this long continued ill success, and It will lake little to make their mufllcd grumblings break out into open mutiny." "What will they have?" he answered impatiently.

"You know me better#thnn to lldnk that," said I warmly. "Yes. Jack, I do. But who else Is there?" "Willie Trehnlion." "Willie irehalinn would never take the cross staff from my hru.ds.

"1 can well believe that," said I. "It was onlj' the other day he took the cross staff In those twisted lingers of ills, shot the sun, ciphered out his reckoning on the glnte and, turning round, 'Oh, ho. oh. .Master Topp!' he chuckled, lie's ft lublKMly navigator who cannot And his position to a matter of three minutes.'
