And that conclusion was that you
would still go on rs II you did not sus-
poet this fellow, and, that instead OF
sending this ammunition on board the
Wanderer, you would send the cases
filled with copper, which looked like
ammunition AMI are OF the same
weight"
That Is exactly what we decided to
do, and I now see that we acted wisely,
for our conduct meets your approval.
While am telling you this, the Wan

"Well done, Valentine. All, I knew
the ship was in good hands. There Is
not on the ocean a more competent,
cool-headed man than thatsame George
Hedges"
Il wish we could say the same OF his
brother, the DOCTOR" growled the
Squire.
uncle Nehemiah Is infatuated with
Fox, said Valentine. But II he sus-
pected his real character, there Is not a
man in the country who would pursue
him to justice more relentlessly."
That's 80, said the squire, but II
does gall me to see an old friend make
O plagued fool of himself"
Apart from the ammunition, what
other favor does Fox want2" asked Cap
tain Denham.
This evening he called on Mr..
Hedges, and said that the Wanderer
was going to drop down with the tide
tomorrow evening, and take position
off Montauk to watch for the pirate,
Kidd.
"1he audaclous villain" exclaimed
the Squire.
He said that fifty OF his men were
unfit for duty, and in the event Of a
fight would be in the way, so he sug-
gested that he send his fifty men on
board the Sea Hawk and take fifty OF
ours.
What reply did the Lieutenant
maker"
"He sald,he would let him know in the
morning"
Valentine" said Captain Denham,
rising to his feet. "The men must be
sent from the Sea Hawk"
murmur Of surprise from all, which
increased when Ralph added:
They must be picked men who under
stand in advance what is needed Of
Them and they must be commanded by
an officer in whom they have every con-
fidence.
"The Sea Hawk men have confidence
In all their officers"
True, Val; but do not think they
will hesitate an instant when they know
am going to lead them.
Another gasp from the people, and
Valentine said hurriedly:
But Fox does not want an officer"
Il see through his purpose, and l pro-
pose to meet fire with fire. The very
measure by which he hopes to secure
success must be made to result in ruin
/ can disguise myself after have met
with the men. Fox supposes me dead
or as good as dead. The sick men he
sends on board the Sea Hawk must b.

a chance, that they are strong enough
to murder our people and seize the ship
