almost held my breath as did am
sure my companions. Down thundered
the horse. They deployed right and
left, and were almost upon our men.
Then the cool buccaneers lifted their
guns, and following the roar saw the
foremost of the riders flash out of
their saddles. There was pulling up
and rearing and plunging of frightened
animals, and almost before | could
realize it the remainder of the troop
had reined about and were laundering
back whence they came.
We broke into frantic cheer, and by
common impulse the entire square
surged forward.
Lead on, Morgan!" thundered Paul
Cradle; I'VE can wipe those fellows off
the earth!"
Not yeti" shouted Morgan, his face
now red and fiery, and his voice set al
most to the pitch of laugh. 1--WE must
repel another charge or two first"
And so it proved. There was a lit
tie confusion in the Spanish ranks, as
the flying riders rode back and wheeled
to regain their old station, and then an
other trumpet sounded and the entire
body of foot moved forward.
Stand fast!" said Morgan in deep
tones.
The enemy came on slowly, and of
a sudden stopped. The line of guns
glittered, and instantly everyt thing
was confused in flame and smoke. AS
it cleared away l saw half score of
our advance fellows down, and the
other running at full speed toward US.
No one in the main body. as far as I
could see, was hurt.
On the Spaniards came, their flanks
expanding and their horse circling out
into the meadow. In flash the whole
army seemed to be inclosing us.

siderable herd of cattle! These were
attacked as though we had been a 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 wretchcs 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.. Tym, 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 a little company of Span
iards appeared on the opposite hill.
The distance was short, and we dis
tinctiy 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

The men set up cheer, the second

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.. Tym 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.
l fell asleep at last, though l had not
believed so till / found myself coming
out of 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.

SYNOPSIS.

Master Ardick just reached his ajority
and thrown upon his own resources, after
stating his case to one Houthwick. a ship
master, is shipped as second mate on the
Industry bound for Havana. Mr.. Tym,
the supercargo, describes a sail. The
strange vessel gives chase, but is disabled
by the Industry's guns. The Industry Is
little damaged. but Houthwick and one
of the crew are killed. Sellinger, first mate,
takes charge and puts into Sidmouth to
secure a new mate. Several days later,
when well out to sea, an English mer-
chairman is met, whose captain has let
ter addressed to jeremiah Hope, at Havana.
The crew of the vessel tell strange tales of
the buccaneer Morgan, who is sailing un-
der the kings commission to take Panama.
One night little later, the English vessel
having proceeded on her course Ardick
learns of a plot among the crew, headed by
Pradey, the new mate, to take the In
dustry and join Morgans fleet. Ardick
consults Mr.. Tym. They resolve to secure
the mate, but Pradey, eavesdropping in the
cabin, makes through the door and arouses
the crew. Capt. Sellinger joins Ardick and
Tym. The crew break through the now
barricaded door, but are forced to retire,
having lost seven of their number. Sell
linger IS for Immediately falling upon the
mutineers, but Tym argues that they are
light crew but still more than two to their
having lost seven of their number. Find
Ing themselves now too short handed to
manage the boat Pradey descides to scut-
tie and desert the vessel, taking his men
off in the only available boat. The captain,
superCargo and second mate soon discover
their plight but hastily constructing a raft
get away Just before their vessel sinks.
The next morning a Spaniard draws near
them. The man in the rigging shouts:
IF you would board us, take to your oars.
BE speedy, or you will fall short" On
board they are sent forward with the
crew being told they will be sold as slaves
on reaching Panama. The ships cook they
find to be Mac Irvach, "frae Clagvarloch,"
SO a friend. Four days later the Spaniard
is overhauled by a buccaneer flying the
English flag. The three Englishmen and
Mac Irvach plan to escape to the buc-
cancer on a rude raft. Sellnger, the last
to attempt to leave the Spaniard, is dis
abled. Just after the other put off they
figure dangling from the yard arm,
whom they suppose is Capt. Sellinger.
Hailng the buCcaneer, our three friends
find themselves in the hands of their old
mate. Pradey. He treats them kindly and
offers to do them no harm If they will but
remain quiet concerning the mutiny he
headed The Black Eagle, Pradey's ship,
comes to Chagre, Cuba, which town they
find Morgan has taken under the English
dag. From there the Black Eagle with
Morgan'S fleet proceeds to Panama. The
command consists of about l, 200 men. HaV-
ing landed, they march on to the city.

on each flank was a 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 q 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 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 ad-
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
ferent 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-
ceive that the ground is soft, so that
yonder horse cannot charge to ad-
vantage"
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 a 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.
They spread out, as Morgan had
commanded, the wings thus brought
