There was no return of the mutineers

outside we could hardly tell what we
were at. for the horror of the loud
groans that reached us from the doe

Out of the eight men who had fallen
IN the action only three still breathed-
that one of the pirates who had been
shot at the loop-hole: Hunter. and
Capt Smoilett: and of these the first

the old buccaneer at home in his APP

had been crushed by the blow. and his
skull fractured in falling. and some
time in the following night. without
sign or sound. he went to his Maker.
As For the captain. his wounds were
grieyous. indeed. but not dangerous
No organ was fatally injured. Ander-

must not walk or move his arm, nor so
much as speak when he could help it.
Ny own accident cut across the
knuckles was fleabite. DIR. Livesey

After dinner the squire and the doc

little past noon, the doctor took up his
bat and pistols, grit on eutlass. put

briskly through the trees.

The coracle-as had ample reason 10

very safe boat for person of my
height and weight. both buoyant and
clever in a seGway; but she was the
most cross-grained, lop-sided craft to
manage. Do as you pleased, she always
made more leeway than anything else.
and turning round and round was the
maneuver she was best at. Even Ben
Gum himself has admitted that she was

Certainly | did not know her way.
She turned in every direction but one.

part of the time we were broadside on.
and am very sure | never should have
made the ship nj all but for the tide.
BY good fortune, paddle as ! pleased.
the tide was sin sweeping me down;
and there lay the "Hispaniola" right in
the fair way, hardly to be missed.
First she doomed before me like a
blot of something yet blacker than
darkness. then her spars and hull be-
gan TO take shape, and the next mo-
ment, as il seemed (for the further |
went the brisker grew the current of
the ebb), was alongside her hawser,
and had laid hold.
The hawser was as taut as a bow
string--so strong she pulled upon her
anchor. All round the hull, in the
blackness, the ripping current bub-
bled and chartered like a little noun
tain stream. One cut with my sea
gully and the ''IIispaniola" would go
humming down the tide.
So far so good; but it next occurred
to my recollection that taut hawser,
suddenly cut, is thing as dangerous
as a kicking horse Ten to one. if
were so foolhardy as to cut the His
PAMELA" from her anchor, | and the
coracle would be knocked clean out of
the water
This brought me to a full stop. and
if fortune had not again particularly
favored me, should have had TO aban-
don my design. But the light airs
