an the Scourge set sail and the old man

covered him with his eyes till
lec we had rounded the spit and run out
ttld of sight. Then with ft heavy sigh ho
turned and went down to the cabin.

That, however. Is neither hero nor

second day out from Cave Island during
the first watch of the glass while
Alec held lite deck.
1 was in my hunk, hut came up when
the alarm was given and was soon
passing buckets with the rest. Rut the
dainty Scdurge was doomed, and o ir
puny efforts were without avail. The
water seemed only to Irritate the Maze
to further fury, and where at first was
pale, lambent flame, blue and traits
parent, soon there began to roll forth
an avalanche of Inky smoke. riven I?y
greedy. shooting tongues of yellow fire.
Like fmil's we worked in the stingins
rook. and liko :i mocking fiend our
onouiy prow in power and height. Inch
by inch wo woiv driven toward the
stern. lighting desperately every stop
of the way. Spaniard was never so
relentless a foe as this one. which
awallow'ed our watery missiles sis fsist
as we hurled tlieni and turned thein
to hissing steam that bit back at the
scuder.
Panting and searched, we gathered,
a smoke primed group, on the counter
and realized that we were beaten. A
shout arose that the powder room was
011 fire, and a half charred boat was
dropped into the water. Springing in.
we pushed cIT.
Scarcely had we pulled a cable's
length away when the Seourtri* blow
up. Masts, spars and dock shot up toward
heaven and then foil In a blazing
shower around the column of smoke
which marked the place where the
shattered hull had sunk.
The rest of the night dragged Itself
wearily through, and the sun rose upon
an undecked sky. The boat was without
stores or provisions of any kind.
She had neither compass nor sail, anil
with one pair of oars we could make
little headway through the calm, even
had we known where to steer for.
Which of us did not envy the old
man in his beautiful island hermitage
then ?
We looked around at the unbroken
circle of the horizon, with the water
It encluetured untarnished by a single
zephyr and gleaming like a glancing
mirror of light, then at the cruel sun j
that was arching a course of scorching I
splendor through the cloudless vault |
above, and as we looked we took but
little comfort from the cheering words
which Aloe spoke to us. What help
could reach us from such a barren
fiery wilderness? What oasis could we
hope to find in such a broiling, trackless
desert?
Hut in spite of the enervating heat
wo tugged doggedly at the oars. Tile
work, purposeless as it seemed, was
some relief. To active men there is no
torture like indolence in a ease like
this, for indolence is the advance picket
of despair.
But each couple, though eager for
I heir turn of toil, were glad enough to
quit II at the appointed time. Water
makes its want more keenly toll within.
The burning thirst was aggravated
by exorcist'. Alec, being sparely built,
perhaps suffered least. 1. a thirsty
sold, ever given to quailing what was
offered, endured ten men's agony. Indeed.
as evening drew near. I began to
fear that before another watch hud run
out madness or death must be the end
of me.
My time, however, was not yet come.
As the sun wout down in vlie west its
dying glory lit upon a sail that peeped
above the southern water line. With
frenzied effort we made for It mid
feared that the darkness would eomo
down before we could reach It.
As we drew nearer we made out that
alio was a earraok. The breeze which
brought her up had lagged behind, aud
she had run Into a hell of calm. Relaxing
our efforts not one whit, we
pushed fiercely on. urging tlie boat
with Titan strokes; for we were no
gaunt famine worn specters, no starvelings
of the ocean who had been eking
out ai day's pittance to make It last
over ten. In bodily health we were all
hale and hearty ami as good men as
we were the day before, save for the
mail thirst which consumed us. IJut
that is a madness beside which all other
emotions sink to nothing; passion
and prudence alike die when the thirst
rage touches them. Urged by it we
would have charged nil army or have
fled from otto man. and so double banking
our oars we tore toward the carrnek.
That she was Spanish front truck to
tiller mattered nothing. llor people
clustered on the decks In armed suspicion
could not stop us. "Water!
Agua!" we cried at them hoarsely. We
cared for nothing else.
We climbed on board, and the Spaniards
staid their hands, some because
they feared to provoke desperate men.
some through pity and o'iters perhaps
because they knew that when our
burning throats were cooled we must
yield at discretion, ltegardless of the

things besides thirst.

Spaniard came forward from the.
crowd and stood before us. lie saw
what we had suffered. and ho was
plan sod. And when those handsome
lips parted in a smile a double row of
cruel, yellow tooth shone out hot worn
thotn.
Our old enemy's turn had eotno
again. We were the prisoners of Don
Miguel del Cassamoro.
rriAPTKH XXX.
The burning circle of sun baked sea
from which we had escaped was
strangely like a vast frying pan. and
now, having got out of that, we were
perilously near finding ourselves in
the tire. Don Miguel was carrying us
to Spain to the torture, ami even his
vengeful cruelty could Invent for us
no more malignant fate.
Had lie known that the plunder of
the galleon, together with other booty,
lay snugly hidden on a lonely island
under the guard of a crippled dotard,
doubtless his eastward voyage would
have been broken. He would have
been charmed, too. now that the tables
wore so effectually turned, to renew
his acquaintance with the old man,
his former jailer, for thus the auto da
fe he pictured would have auother
actor. But he believed that all our
gains lay fathoms deep on the sea bottom
with the ill fated Scourge, and
we would not agitate his well balanced
mind by undeceiving him.
Don Miguel did not put us in irons in
the held, though some of liis underlings
suggested it. No; lie remembered the
time when he was our unwilling hewer
of wood and drawer of water, and ho
prepared to pay hack some of his debts
i? i.i?.i
... ,, ? v.cro made to ply our
craft ns mariners whenever our services
were wanted. and for the rust of
the time we were the slaves of any one
who chose to command us.
Every dirty Job in the ship fell to the
Englishmen's share, and a curse or a
blow was the payment. And though
the gorge of one of us would now and
again rise and a mutinous refusal
tremble on his tongue, his mates would
bid him knuckle under, grin If he
"AV11"' bide his time,
father." Willie Trclmllon \VouicT mutter
prophetically.
"Ayo, uncle, an curses come liopto to
rooft." bis nephew Job would chuckle
in reply.
Outwardly no baud of unfortunates
was ever more numbed by despair,
more hopelessly reconciled to an Irrevocable
fate. To tin- dons' eyes we
wire meek and submissive as Italians,
going about our labors mcchanienlly.
and, if we did not show great interest
In each task, at least we performed It
effectively. Wo were careful not to
court suspicion I y excess of zeal, while
we avoided additional tyranny by
steady obedience.
Hut we meant to escape. The oarrack
should never set us on Spanish
ground. We would tire her powder
room sooner, and perish with the rest
of her crew in one overwhelming holocaust.
in the meanwhile we lived In
hope that the chapter of accidents
would unravel the coll In which we
had entangled ourselves.
The pilot left the car rack at the most
easterly point of Trinidad, and then,
bidding gojdb.y to domestic navigation,
we set out on the ocean voyage. I'or
two days we beat, lack and taek,
against easterly winds, sagging to leeward
like a haystack, and making
hardly any headway. Then for throe
days the wind chopped round fair,
and we sped easily along our course.
Hut after the third morning had passed
tlte barren plain of ocean began to
haze over, and as the thickness increased
the breeze died away, till at
last the carraek lay motionless In the
calm of a dense fog.
Night came, and the gray twilight of
the afternoon changed to Inky blackness.
All of lis were asleep, tired ont
with the exertions of the day and glad
to snatch a little rest.
Suddenly Alec and I were aroused
by a warning touch of Willie Trekalion's
hook.
"Listen!" he whispered.
A strange sound came to us out ol
the blackness, a sound that was hall
wall, half howl, hut wholly weird au<]
awful.
"A water pixy." said I. trembling.
"Sea wolves," said one of the men
Who had raised himself on his dhow 1

And, whispering further directions to
Alee, lie led nun away, and the rest of
us dropped down t tic ladders ami min
gled with the trembling group in the
waist.
Again the melancholy "Mn-n-o-o-w"
floats to us out of the darkness, and
Alee, stepping forward into the lantern
light, clapped a cv.ppt d Land to his ear
ami cried: "Listen! There's some one
hailing from the masthead."
(Jive ear to toy lord o" the sea!"
cried a high cracked voice from ainit.
and another front the uiumyard arm
shrieked, "lie comes alongside!"
Then, as though from the waters close
to, oatne a third voice, deep and resonant,
which asked what ship that was.
"Who hails, and I.;, what right does
he question?" cried l>ua .Miguel.
"I am Neptune, lord o' the sen." returned
the voice. "What ship is ihatV"
A look of perplexity came into Don
Miguel's face, ami the rest of the Spaniards
shook with f- nr.
A opt tine was impatient.
"What ship is that? Answer me.

And then, with a muttered auathema
after every sentence, lie answered
Neptnm s questions himself.
"What cargoV" queried the lord of
tho sea.
The priest told him.
"What |>assennors
"Thirty, of wlioia seven are women
nnd three infants."
"And what erew?"
"A htmdred and sixty, most potent."
"No more? Mclkink:- there's some

queer flavor hereabout."
"There are 11 prisoners. P.nglish sailors.
who are working a passage to
Spain."
"What!" bellowed Noptnn". "Heretics
on one of liis majesty's ships'.
Heretics at large an unshackled!
Thunder an tempests! I'll destroy
the whole lot o* yon!"
And so the farce went on, u .til ai
length the trembling Spaniards, kn.l
ins that their crossings and peter unstops
were Useless, began to look upor
us as so many donahs. Their saintwere
forgotten, and they were foi
heaving us overboard at once.
Hut Neptune would not allow It.
"Pollute not my sweet brine will
the foul bodies o' I'uglishtr.en." In
warned them. "Set them adrift in s
boat, an then my sister's chickens
which feed on carrion, will have tin
wherewithal to flesh their hungry
beaks."
Don Miguel would have preventei
this, for he alone out of his ship's com

but the others would not listen to him

We pulled on till the babel of voice
