with that he clapped down and locked
his fingers about my wrist. Mastering
the remnants Of my strength, made a
supreme effort, and with one able
founder tumbled over the rail and fell
into the sternsheets.
"Good!" exclaimed a composed and
familiar voice. II was coming to bear

though still dizzy and weak, was able
TO determine the whole excellent mat

1t was quite as he said. The last buc-
cancer in arms had disappeared, and
above the prone bodies the senorita
was looking from the cuddy, and Mac
1'rach was just by. getting the steadi-
ness of hiA legs. The only hurt that
showed upon him was an inconsiGer-
able bruise near the top of his fore
head.

man and l sat down to the oars. We
were in no case for hard work, but de-
sired to be making start, 1t being
uncertain, indeed, how long this IA
voring calm would hold.
Though we were so near the surface
of the water, and therefore com
manded no great range of distance, It
seemed long time that we were drop
ping the buccaneer. But at last we
sank his hull and then his lower sails,
and finally the topgallants dwarfed to
an insignificant speck on the sea line.
The day was by this time nearly spent,
and the even reds of the tropic sum
set began to flush the west. A fair
weather paleness of blue appeared
above these colors, and the sky com
ing down to it darkened without
clouds, presaging stars and calm as
on the previous nights.
We were near enough now, as l
thought, to make out the coast, and I

to be right, for distinct on the eastern
boundary was a dark, well-marked
line.
By this time the Scotchman and
were pretty weary-he, indeed, hardly
able to wag the heavy oar-and pro-
posed short rest. Mr.. Tym and the
captain offered to spell us, but / OBJ
jected-I was specially mindful of Mr..
Tym's infrmity and of his present
state, which must make the task too
great-and in the end the sloop was
suffered to drift.
My companions now had an oppor-
tunity to see to their wounds, and It
was found that Mr.. Tym's long cut and
the cash over the captains ear needed
few stitches. Luckily Mac Ivrach
had a housewife, and though it was
now nearly dark l got out thread and
needle and managed to do rough job
of surgery.
This ended, we concluded to have
supper, there being no immediate dan
ger and we standing in need of refresh
ment after what we had been through.
Mac Ivrach accordingly got out the
provisions and opened bottle of wine,
and we fell to, our appetites not seem
ingly much affected by our trying ex-
perience. While we were eating de-
sired Mr.. Tym to tell me how he had
escaped from Cradle; likewise what
had given the buccaneers their final
fright, causing them to quit the boat.
"a very short story" he answered.
at might almost be summed up by say
ing that our friend CRADLE was care
less. You see, he flung me to the deck
and drew his knife, having dropped his
sword as he closed, and bent over me
to end my troubles. I, as it chanced,

one day passing through the streets Of
Palermo when he saw beautiful nun
looking down at him from her balcony
window. whereupon he Immediately fell
in love with her. Love laughs at lock-

was not to be trifed with. and the gen.

through the streets, the nun being COM

watch the degradation. By the aid Of
his fellow officers, the general ventured
a most hazardous escape. The keeper

crowding of their bOat-causing them
to hamper one another at the last and

to go to her cabin, promising to call
her If there were an alarm, which
done, we arranged the watches, and all
but Mr.. Tym, who had the first, turned
in.
The night passed quietly. About
sunrise a little breeze brought a
wrinkle on the water, and we ran up
our sail. By SIX Of the clock we had
way enough on the boat to exceed our
speed with the oars, and with this We
were very well satisfied. We drove
along lightly that day, getting little
more wind in tire afternoon, still from
the right quarter, and by nightfaIl
