SACK OF PoRT-AU-PRINcE.
How Morgan's Buccaneers Fought
Their Way Into the Cuban City.

How Morgans Buccaneers Fought
Their Way Into the Cuban City
When the fleet arrived at the near
est harbor Morgan landed his men
and marched toward the town, but he
did not succeed in making a secret at
tack, as he had hoped. A Spanish pris-
oner had let himself drop overheard,
and swimming ashore, had warned the
governor of the attack. Thus prepar-
ed, this able commander marched
body of soldiers along the road by
which the pirates must come, and when
he found a suitable spot he built a for
midable barricade. Behind this his
soldiers We're posted with their musk
cts and their cannon.
But when Morgan came within sight
Of this barricade, he considered that
it would be entirely unnecessary TO at
tempt to disturb this admirable de-
Tense, SO he marched his men into the
woods, led them entirely around the
barricade, and came out upon a wide
plain before the town.
Here he found that he would have to
fight his way into the city, and prob
ably much to his surprise his men were
presently charged by body of cav
airy.
The pirates routed the horsemen,
and, after fight of about four hours,
took possession of the town. Here they
captured a great many prisoners,
whom they shut up in the churches,
and then sent detachments out into the
country to look for those who had run
away. Then these utterly debased and
cruel men took their usual course af-
ter capturing a town; they pillaged,
Toasted, and rioted. Even when the
poor citizens seemed to have given up
everything they owned, they were told
that if they did not pay two heavy
ransoms they would be carried away
into slavery, and that their town
would be burned.
For two weeks the pirates waited for
the unfortunate people to go out into
the country and find some of their fell
low-citizens who had escaped with a
portion of their treasure. In those
days people did not keep their wealth
in banks as they do now, but every
man was the custodian of most of his
own possessions, and when they fed
from the visitation of an enemy they
took with them everything of value
that they could carry. Before the citi-
zens returned Morgan made a discov-
cry; a negro was taken who was carry
ing letters from the governor of Santi-
ago, neighboring city, to some of the
citizens of Port -au-P Prince, telling them
not to be in too great a hurry to pay
the ransom, because ne was coming
with a strong force to their assistance.
When Morgan read these letters, he
changed his mind and thought it would
be wise thing not TO stay in that re-
gion any longer than could be helped.
So he decided not to wait for the I'M
fortunate citizens to collect the heavy
ransom he demanded, but told them
that if they would furnish him with
five hundred head Of cattle, and also
supply salt and help prepare the meat
for shipment, he would make no furth-
er demands upon them This, of course,
the citizens were glad enough to do,
and the buccaneers sailed away-F. r.
