You dog, you william, you cutthroat!

! teach you to steal my trade, TO rob me
/ Of my opportunities, to pluck the
I treasure from my very hand. So! You
won't be shot nor sink with your ship2
/ Then III give you the medicine you
save many an honest man yourself,
/ Dixey Lynch, if all's true. Fetch me a
/ broad plank to the bows, there, and
/ bind these men and blindfold them.
! So, Master Lynch, you know how 1t s
done, Ell? You've seen many a man
walk the plank, eh?'
DOnnereau grew gray OF the face, but
/ Lynch smiled TRANQUILITY. The TWO
T other rOgues showed fight, but all were

Oziel said not a word, but he and
dustin were backed up together against
tLe Sims side, and the young farmer
had slipped a pistol into Jusun's hand.

Master Murrin," sternly said OzieI

on his nephew, Il beg you to remem-

York, and that Master Hallowell is

Old Gabriel had got so far, apparent

with an open sheer.

We stood ready to blindfold him to

Gabriel that to make young Justin
Hallowell walk the plank-which 1 OBJ
serve you have had placed in a very
creditable way for a beginner-would
