CAPTURE OF PORTO eELLo.

The Pirate Morgan Forced Monks and Nuns
% Place Scaling Ladders Against the
Walls.
Inc buccaneers found Porto Bello a
nara nut to crack; they landed and
marched upon the town, which was de-
fended by several forts or castles.
Even when one of these had been cap
tured by assault and blown up with all
lts garrison, who had been taken prls-
oners, still the town was not intimi-
dated. The governor vowed he would
never surrender, but would die fight
ing to the last. In vain the pirates
made desperate efforts to capture
the principal fort, and Morgan be-
gan to dispair. The garrison was
strong and well commanded, and when
ever the pirates attempted to scale the
wall they were shot down, or fire
pots full of powder mixed with stones
and other missiles were hurled upon
them.
At last the willy Morgan had an idea.
he set his men to work to make some
ladders long enough to reach the top
OF the walls and wide enough to allow
three or four to go up abreast. If he
could get these properly set up, his
crew OF desperate tigercats could make
combined rush, and get over the walls.
But it was not Morgan's plan that
these men should lose their lives in
getting up these ladders. He had cap
tured some converts in the suburbs of
the town, with a number of nuns and
ss7s@'-'Ts. and he now ordered these poor
creatures, the women as well as the
men, to place the ladders against the
walls, believing that the Spanish gov
ernor would not allow his soldiers to
fire upon these innocent persons.
But the governor was determined to
defend the town, no matter who had to
suffer, and SO the soldiers fred at the
nuns and the monks just as though they
were buccaneers or any other. enemies.
The poor creatures cried out in terror
and begged their friends not to fire
upon them, but the soldiers obeyed the
command of the governor, and the
pirates were close behind them, and
threatened them with their pistols,
and so the poor nuns and monks had to
press forward, many of them dropping
dead or wounded. They continued their
work until the ladders were placed and
then over the wall swept the pirates
with yells and bowls of triumph, and it
was not long after that the town was
taken. The brave governor died fight
ing in the principal fort, and the citi-
zens and soldiers all united in the most
vigorous defense, but it was useless
