CHAPTER XVIII.

IN THE ENEN1Y'S CAMP.
The red glare of the torch, lighting
up the interior of the block-house,
showed me the worst of my apprehen-
sions realized. The pirates were in pos
session of the house and stores; there
was cask of cognac. there were the
pork and bread, as before; and, what
tenfo!d increased my horror, not sign
of any prisoner. l could only judge
that all had persisted, and my heart
smote me sorely that I had not been
there TO perish with them.
There were six of the buccaneers, all
told; not another man was, left alive.
Five ofthem were on their feet, flushed
and swollen, suddenly called out of the
first sleep of drunkenness. The sixth
had only risen upon his elbow; he was
deadly pale, and the blood-stained
bandagc round his head told that he
had recently been wounded, and still
more recently dressed. I remembered
the man who had been shot and hadrun
back among the woods in the great at
tack, and doubted not that this was be.
The parrot sat, preening her plumage,
on Long Johns shoulder. He himself,
thought, looked somewhat paler and
more stern than I was used to. He
still wore his fine brondcloth suit in
which he had fulfilled his mission, but

said he; and then, when he had good
light, "that'll do. lad" he added, "stick

Owing to the cant of the vessel tho
masts hung far out over the water, and
from my perch on the cross-trees I
had nothing below me but the sur
face of the bay. Hands, who was not
SO far up, was, in consequence, nearer
to the ship, and fell between me and
the bulwarks. He rose once to the
surface in lather of foam and blood
and then sunk again for good. AS the
water settled l could see him lying
huddled together on the clean, bright
sand in the shadow of the vessels
sides. A fish or two whipped past his
body. Sometimes, by the quivering Of
the water, he appeared to move little,
as if he were trying to rise. But he
was dead enough, for all that, being
both shot and drowned, and was food
for fish in the very place where he had
designed my slaughter.

began to feel sick, faint and terri

my back and chest. The dirk, where it
had pinned my shoulder to the mast,
seemed to burn like hot iron; yet

seemed to me, could bear without

my mind Of falling from the cross
trees into that still green water, beside
the body of the cockswain.

came back again, my pulse quoted

1t was my first thought to pluck
forth the dirk; but either it stuck too
hard or my nerve failed me, and de-

enough that very shudder did the bust
