current, or whatever agency had
charge of our heels, swept the two vessels
nearer and nearer together till at
last a couple of cleverly thrown grnp

long and desperately, and thou they
fell, for they expected no quarter and
asked none. We on our side fought as
furiously as they, stabbing with shortened
weapons where there was no
room to swing them and thrusting
many a foe through the open portholes
into the sea. It was a bloody coutliet,
for not uutil two-thirds of the cabin's
defenders lay dead ami dying did the
Spaniards suffer themselves to l?e driven
out Into the waist.
We ourselves had lost Jan I'engony.
his friend George and three others killed
outright, and two more were so
sorely wounded that they died there
m the cabin door. Scarce a one of us
but had his red gash to show.
But it was no time to groan or lick
our wounds. The two doors under the

patarcrocs wore thrust through the
loopholes to command the waist, and
the hatch of tiie treasure room wjis
cleared of bodies and thrown open.
The pieces of eight we found snugly
stowed in oak chests, and while half a
dozen of us stood ready by the swivel
gun the rest made all haste they could
to hand up tlie treasure and lower It
through the windows on to the
Scourge's decfc lielow.
But rapid as were our movements
Don Miguel had no notion of allowing
us to spoil his ship unmolested.
Scarcely had we got Into the swing of
work than he and a strong party with
him mounted the poop again and comtnoneed
annoying the little craft whose
bulwarks were grinding against his
ship far below. They hurled down everything
weighty and unpleasant that
came to hand, and finally they dropped
a barrel of powder, which on bursting
scorched several of our lads so severely
that they cried to us in the galleon's
cabin that the deck was too hot to hold
any longer.
At this Alec, leaving me 111 charge of

They dared not break faith with us.
however, because of the gun, and so
we were able to transship the golden
harvest without further loss of life.
While the party in the galleon's eah
in hustled merrily#mong the booty an
other party refitted our damaged head
sails, and when the last chest of gold
pleees had been dumped upon our deck
we raised an ironical cheer for the
wealth of Golden Spain, and as the rising
breeze slowly bellied her sails the
little Scourge sheered slowly off from
her whipped and sullen adversary.
Aye, we were victorious, and while
the red blood still flowed from our
wounds we reeked Utile of the benvy

CHATTER XXVIIt.
The galleon's gold bad cost us very
dear. Out of our slender ship's company
1ft had been killed outright, four
had hurts that they would die under,
and of the rest there was no man who
could not show the color of his own
blooil.
When the excitement of the battle
bad passed nwn.v and the grim fever
of slaying had become a memory. not
one stood on our decks in whose body
there was not some deadly throb or
sickening ache?not one who was not
stiff from angry, rainbow colored bruises
or faint from loss of blood. Our
captain lay pale and helpless in hi?
hunk, brought to death's very door by
a bullet wound under the shoulder,
which he had borne undressed through
half the long tight. The back of tin j
boatswain's bald pate was hurtle-1
black with powder, and he bad more I
ribs stove in than the pain would Set
him count. And of the others one ailed
lids and another that: one by the
blow of an ax had lost the lingers of
bis bund, another by the erack of a
guustock had lost the sense of his
Itaml.
The active watch on deck consisted
of two persons. There was Job Tieballon,
with the old scar on his face
crossed by a fresher seam, and Jolt;,
Top p. with a pfke thrust through the
calf of one log and a dagger wound in
the foot of the other.
We had remained iu melancholy si
lenee for I know not how long, when
suddenly .lob Trohaliou got up without
i word and went down the eoiiMiunion
itet timing presently. lie gave me ;i

after adjusting the bloody bandage*
.'ounil my leg ami instep, 1 told Job
that lie and 1 must lay otir beads to
aether and consider where to steer to.
Job was all chuckles and giiu?< in a
moment. It was not often that lie was
' ailed into eotineil by any one save the
old man, and him lie affected to despise,
and so lie considered his conli
deuce no compliment.
"One thing Is sure," said I, looking
at the battle havoc round me, "we can't
keep the seas in this plight."
"No. Master Topp." chuckled Job.
'that we can't. Let alone having no

must do our best to decide a cours

A look of solemn importance sirup

grin conquered.
