ten days after the 11 jrltt as he had iieen

empty. 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:

highly mettled steed chivalry, and so

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. "Hut sailors are the game

their servant."
"How if they depose you?"
"Then 1 shall serve under the new

"You know me better#thnn to lldnk

"Yes. Jack, I do. But who else Is

Ihit what ubout the old man? lie has

"1 can well believe that," said I.
"It was onlj' the other day he took the
