It--not 10 the threatenlngs OF cilif ana

CLEANED in front and rear and might ut
any moment be dyed in my blood.
How easy IL would be to prod me there
and send me toppling mortally wounded
into the abyss. TO be ground as between
millstones at the bottom A sudden stab
in the back, push, giddy, headlong fall,
and the deed would be done, and no word
of it need ever get to the outside world.
More than once, as my mind dwelt on this,
clung to the rocks shuddering like a child
in mortal fright. The grewsomeness of the
situation was enhanced, too, by the eerie
shadow of light. Here and there buttress
and jutting promontory flushed into rose
and shone in gold and amethyst, but these
points of radiance only gave q hideous
emphasis to the prevailing gloom Of the
gorge. They were like the ghastly mock

we had struggled when upon turning a
sharp angle we came upon an open space, or
circular ledge of the dimensions of small
room. Here we stopped, our sides heaving
like the flanks of spent hound, and the
best of us glad to breathe himself.
Whether by accident or the unsuspected
design of those about me, stood on the
outer rim, the very edge of the wall that
fell 80 fathoms sheer, the surging, unsound-
ed depths beneath Under that unaccount-
able species of fascination which lures a
man to gaze on the horrible and awful, I
bent forward and looked into the black pit
at my feet. With swimming head drew
back to feel myself seized roughly from
behind. An icy sensation thrilled through
me, l gave great gasp, and my knees
knocked violently together. The fearful
moment had been anticipating had come.
They bandaged my eyes and bound my
hands to my sides, and thus made helpless,

there was none. The i'll boding silence was
more terrifying than the menacing tongues
of hundred enemies. IL was the very ex-
tremity of torture to havemy captors make
their arrangements for disposing of me
with such stealthy secrecy.
In the crowding fears and agitntions the
idea flashed upon me that they meant not

and dexterity, such lightninglike quick
ness and precision, that ere one could say
the thing had well begun hardly boat re-
mained right side up.
Having worked confusion in the water
the conquerors came clambering over the
sides of the brig, their ugly crooked swords
in their teeth and light in their eyes that
was uglier than the gleam of their steel
There was a pretense Of resistance by the
remainder of the first comers, but before
there was any chance of slaughter they
were dodging about the deck and playing
hide and seek about the masts.
AT this signal of surrender weapons were
put up with promptness that would have
astonished one entirely ignorant of Arab
ways, and with one accord all hands-first
comers and last alike--fell to the old game,
only that now instead of being lowered into
boats the goods were thrown into the sea,
which was soon quickly mottled with bales
and boxes. 1t did not take long TO relieve
the brig of her CARGO, and as soon as the
last bale was overheard the robbers follow
ed it to continue the scrimmage outside.
For me who remained on the brig there
was no lack of entertainment. There was
exhilaration amounting at times to pleas
urable excitement in watching the nimble-
ness and straits of the comb mbatants and the
frequency with which booty changed hands
The incidents were often such as would
have made a crowd Of spectators on shore
roar with delight. Now there would be a
knot Of men inextricably entangled as it
might seem. and just as you thought the lot
must 20 down together lucky boat would
dart clear. Then there would be exciting
pursuit and capture, or the runaway, Civ
ing all it's attention TO its pursuers, would
rush into the clutches Of a askirmisher lying
In wait on the outskirts.
Again cluster of boats would be locked
into "a sort of pontoon bridGc, which would
sway and rock for awhile Till ia the energy

lose their balance and turn over like re-
volving buoys, TO come up blinking, splut-
tering and streaming at the mouth as IL
they were automatic pumps. Then, shak-
ing themselves roughly like a couple OF
drenched dogs. they would probably close
again to repeat the same diverting per-
formance. Thus the sport went on with
endless variety of incident, and no blood
shed that could see TO mar the enjoy
ment.
BY degrees the combatants drew away
from me, for besides the tendency Of such

CHAPTER XIII.

IN THE HANDS OF THE PIRATES.
Immediately on boarding the Arab ves-
sci we hove up anchor, set sails and flew
awavto sea, with a smart breeze on our
port quarter. The ship was queer one,
but il was soon proved that, however odd
in appearance, she was an uncommonly
swift and graceful sailor She carried three
masts, lateen sails and jib. The fore and
mainmasts were without tops or topgal-
lants, and of course without caps or cross
trees. The long, slender hull was jet black,
and, what was strangest OF all, the upper
deck was sharply convex, with level graf
ings running round the sides. The convex
ity, as afterward discovered, was meant
20 make ready way for water TO the scrup-
pers, or in times of stress for blood, while
the gratings, by obviating the slant, made
the footing firm, a matter Of Importance in
storm or action. She carried no colors, nor
did any inscription, such as ships usually
bear, give hint Of her port or nationality.
Finally. though light, she was well armed.
THE vessel was the dreaded Xebec, the ter
ror OF the high seas when Algerine corsairs
flourished, and still of evil repute on the
coasts of Arabia
Every stitch OF her ocherous canvas was
crowded on, and beautifully she swept
along, keeling and dipping under the belly
ing sails, the bright green water swishing
from her cleaning sides and the snowdrift
flying from her fore foot in way that
would have made pleasure seekers dance
