siderable herd of cattle! These were
attacked as though we had been pack
OF wolves, and after Staying all we
could we cut off the flesh in great
flakes, and, having pitched it into
hastily-made fires, drew it out half
roasted and greedily devoured it. 1t
was a sight to startle one to see the
half-starved wretches at their repast.
They gnawed and grunted, and be-
tween times broke out in laughter,
the blood running down their hands
and staining their garments to the
waist. AS to myself and my compan-
ions, particularly Mr.. lynn, it is but
fair to say we behaved somewhat less
like beasts, though, in truth, the taste
of that charrcd, warm flesh was to us
of a sweetness and deliciousness be-
yond words of mine to describe!
Greatly refreshed and now in heart
again, we pushed on, and having as
cended a considerable hill, beheld at
last the steeples of Panama. At that
the men broke into joyous shouts, as
though the city were already ours, and
the drummers began to beat and the
trumpeters to blast. We had scarce
made this din when there was a noise
of hoofs, and little company of Span
iards appeared on the opposite hill.
The distance was short, and we dis
tinctly heard their threats as they
broke out savagely at us.
1--WE will go into camp now" said
Morgan, coolly. Tomorrow we shall
have to test these gentlemen's men,
aces"
The men set up cheer, the second I
had heard since the beginning of the
terrible march, and Immediately broke
ranks.
l slept but i'll, and that not only be-
cause my mind was excited but because
in the night the Spaniards fetched
some cannon out of the city and be-
gan firing upon us. Fortunately, they
advanced their battery but little way,
and none of the shot hurt us, but only
kept up a considerable noise and
cut down branches from the trees
about us. Mr.. lynn seemed much less
disquieted than l was. though once or
twice he sat up and watched the COM
motion of the shot among the trees.
I fell asleep at last. though I had not
believed so till I found myself coming
out of a troubled dream and my COM
rades beginning to stir about. 1t was
the gray of dawn, and everything
looked dim and cheerless, the men not
talking much and no fires yet alight.

on each flank was considerable body
Of horse. Their arms and appointments
seemed of the best description, their
cuirasses and helmets, in particular,
cleaning like pools of water with
every movement.
AT least, thought, we have our work
cut out. Igreatly doubt if we can over
come such a strong force.
This found was the opinion of many
others, for a kind of growl of appre-
hension ran around.
Halt" cried Morgan, sharply. The
men were only too glad to obey.
Listen, comrades" he went on. you
fear yonder gang, but without reason.
They are not what they look. will be
sworn not a score of them could carry
half a glass of wine to their lips with
out spilling it. They tremble. They
know us. Stand firm, them
This talk put the men in some heart,
but still they seemed in no hurry to adj
vance. Morgan spoke to one of the
captains and the man stepped to the
front, and ran his eye along the line
He then rapidly selected from the diff
fcrent companies so men, and these he
ordered to stand forward. l i'm
mediately perceived that everyone
chosen was an expert shot.
You will make forward and begin
the battle" said Morgan, coolly, to the
group. Put three PAGES between
every man and fire with care. The rest
of you look about and you will per-
ceiye that the ground is soft. so that

1t was as he said. The ground on
both sides of the broad road was a
meadow, and in places were quags and
miry spots. 1t was clear that we had
but to stand firm and repel the horse
Morgan gave us no more time for
reflection. The captain with his sharp
shooters set forward, and the rest of
us were brought into a new formation
SO as best to repel an attack. To com
pass this we were made to form long
square with double lines, all facing
outward, and few little cannon were
placed in front and rear. This done,
we had an opportunity to watch the
progress of our advance company.

commanded, the wings thus brought

The word ship" is masculine in
French, Italian, Spanish and Portu-

and scandinavian. Perhaps it would
not be an error to trace the custom back
to the Greeks, who called all ships by
feminine names, probably out of defer
ence to Athene, goddess of the sea
But the sailor assigns no such rea-
sons. The ship is to him veritable

CHAPTER XIi.-CoNTINUED.

Above this foro was communication
by a steep path with still more com
plete defense, good walls and bastions
being here, and finally was the sharp.
sudden rise of tee great rock Itself.
At this point we could not but wonder
at the desperate valOr of BrOdely 5
men, for from here to the summit the
only regular ascent was by Hight of
narrow, rock-hewn stairs, and the
chance for placing scaling ladders was
of the worst and rislliest. Yet up here
they had won their way, and the frag-
ments Of some OF the ladders, and
more than that-a stain of blood here
and there still remained as witnesses
to it!
At the top of the stairs was large,
square building that we afterward
found was designed to hold military
stores. and from here straight walk
led to a narrow. deep chasm, the castle
itself living on the other side. There
had been a bridge here, but the Span
iards, in their final defense, had de-
stroyed it, and in it's place was now
rude affair of pIanks partly supported
by guys On the other side was kind
of barbican, and then the wall of the
castle proper. The structure was of
no great size, rising merely in small
tower or keep, aud thence stretching
out in two short, low wings. BY this
time the sun was pouring down fierce
Nv. and, as we had explored the great
er part of the place, we concluded to
seek more comfortable spot and &C
cordingly descended the hill again.
The excursion had afforded us much
pleasure, besides letting us into the
knowledge of things that il was profit
able for us to know. More than all,
perhaps, it gave us the assurance OF
she desperate and seemingly resistless
valor of our present comrades.
It was not long after we had re-
turned to the bottom of the hill that
we met five or six of the garrison. and
with them a sturdy middle-aSed man.

OF THE OPENING OF THE BATTLE.
We were speedily in order, and every
captain went to the head of his com

along the lines and drew his sword.
Vt that moment he seemed to have lost
little color, but his bearing was bold
and steady. He pointed toward the hill,
and with the loud word Forward"
led us into the road.
1t seemed but moment before we
were over the rise and marching down
into the little plain. There, to the no
small stirring of my pulse, were drawn
up the Spanish forces.
