CHAPTER XVIII.

NARRATIVE CONTINUED BY THE
DOCTOR-END or THE FIRST DAYS
FIGHTING.
We made our best speed across the
strip of wood that now divided us from
the stockade, and at every step we
took the voices Of the buccaneers
rang nearer. Soon we could hear their
footsteps as they ran, and the crack
ing of the branches as they breasted
across a bit of thicket.
began to see we should have brush
for il in earnest, and locked to my prim-
ing.
Captain" said l, '''Trelawney is the
dead shot. Give him your gun; his
own is useless"
They exchanged guns, and Trelaw-
ney, silent and cool as he had been since
the beginning of the hustle, hung mo-
ment on his heel to see that all was
fit for service. At the same time, OBJ
serving Gray TO be unarmed, handed
him my cutlass. 1t did all our hearts
good to see him spit on his hand, knit
his brows. and make the blade sing
through the air. 1t was plain from
every line of his body that our new
hand was worth his salt.
Forty PAGES further we came to the
edge of the wood and saw the stockade
in front of us. We struck the inclos-
urc about the middle of the south side,
and. almost at the same time seven mu-
tineers-Job Anderson, the boatswain,

that gun, sir, or you'll swamp the boat,
All hands stand by to trim her when he
aims"
The squire raised his gun, the rowing
ceased. and we leaned over to the other
side to keep the balance. and all was so
nicely contrivcd that we did not ship
drop
They had the gun, by this time,
slowed round upon the swivel and
Hands, who was at the muZzle with the
rammer, was, in consequence, the most
exposed. However, we had no luck;
for Just as Trelawney fired, down he
stopped, the ball whistling over him,
and it was one of the other four who
fell
The cry he gave was echoed, not only
by his companions on board, but by
great number of voices from the shere,
and looking in that direction l saw the
other pirates trooping out from
among the trees and tumbling into
their places in the boats.
Here come the gigs, sir" said l.
"Give way, then" said the captain.
"We mustn't mind if we swamp her
now. If we can't get ashore, all's up"
"Only one of the gigs is being
manned, sir" added, 1.-THE crew of the
other most likely going round by
shore to cut us off"

FATS IN COOKERY.

1t LIS Impc Stant 10 Know Their Prop
err Use.
The frying pan is blamed, and justly
SO, for much of our national disease,
but even the fats of the frying pan
can be rendered comparatively harm
less by proper usage. Miss Parloa in
her last seasons lecture course devoted
one of her talks to the cooking of
fats. She told her classes that the lower
the temperature at which fats can be
cooked and the flavor retained, the
more digestible they will be. II the
temperature is raised too high a disa-
greeable acid taste is developed.
Iyti,.,,, M .ar- ,7,iyad ,-ifb Fat II nar-
rs when fat is clear The digestibility,
therefore, of roast basted with little
water in the pan is greater than when
basted with fat alone.
As in all Kitchens more or less frying
is done, it is imperative that it should
be done correctly. The common way OF
putting two or three inches of fat In
a pan and frying in that is the worst
POSSIBLE. To fry economically and
properly it is necessary to have fat
enough in which to immerse the article.
The purer the fat the higher the degree
TO which it can be raised without burn
ing Butter burns at the lowest temper
nture and olive oil at the highest.
The following shows the degrees at
which the vaxous fats begin TO burn:
Butter, 2G6 degrees f.; beef, veal and
mutton suet, 3o2 degrees F.; clarified
drippings, 336 degrees; goose grease,
500 degrees; lard, 392 degrees; olive
oil, COS degrees. Medium heat is suit
able for most frying. Butter should
usually be at 239 degrees; beef, veal
and mutton suet, 226; clarified drip
pings, 302; goose grease, 446: lard,
1886; olive oil, 572.
All fats should be heated gradually.
Anything moist, like fish, oysters or
croquettes, should have but few put
into the smoking fat at time, as they
reduce the temperature. The poorer
fats, like lard or drippings, are better
for croquettes than olive oil, as the
perfect croquettes should be just heated
/ through and creamy inside, while
brown outside. The temperature for
fish and croquettes should be much
higher than for observation-disclosures

maid couldn't miss. Tell US, squire,
when you see the match, and We'll hold
water
In the meanwhile we had been max
ing headway at good pace for boat
so overloaded, and we had shipped but
little water in the process. We were
now close in; 80 or 40 strokes and we
should beach her; for the ebb had al
ready disclosed a narrow belt of sand
was no longer to be feared; the ff;iliI
point had already concealed it from our
eyes. The ebb-tide, which had so
cruelty delayed us, was now making
reparation, and delaying our assail-
ants. The one source of danger was
the gun.
'If I durst," said the captain, I'D
stop and pick off another man."
But it was plain that they meant
nothing should delay their shot They
had never so much as looked at their
fallen comrade, though he was not
dead. and l could see him trying to
crawl away.
Ready" cried the squire.
"IIoldl" cried the captain, quick as
an echo.
And he and Redruth backed with
great heave that sent her stern bodily
under water. The report fell in at the
same instant of time. This was the
first that Jim heard, the sound of the
souire's shot not having reached him.
When the ball passed, not one of us
precisely knew; but l fancy it must
have been over our heads, and that the
wind of it may have contributed to our
disaster.
At any rate, the boat sunk by the
stern, quite gently, in three feet of wa
ter, leaving the captain and myself,
facing each other, on our feet. The
other three took complete headers, and
came up again, drenched and bubbling.
So far there was no great harm. No
lives were lost, and we could wade
ashore in safety. But there were all
our stores in the bottom, and, to make
things worse, only two guns out of
five remained in state for service.
Mine had snatched from my knees and
held over my head, by sort of finstinct.
AS for the captain, he had carried his
over his shoulder by a bandoleer, and,
like wise man, lock uppermost. The
three had gone down with the boat
To add to our concern we heard voices
already drawing near us in the woods
along shore; and we had not only the
danger of being cut off from the stock
ade in our half-crippled state, but the
fear before us, whether If Hunter and
Joyce were attacked by half dozen
they would have the sense and conduct
to stand firm. Hunter was steady,
that we knew; Joyce was a doubtful
Casa pleasant, polite man for valet,
and to brush ones clothes, but not en-
tirely fitted for a man-of-war.
With all this in our minds, we waded
ashore as fast as we could, leaving be-
hind the poor jolly-boat, and a good
half of our powder and provisions.
