CHAPTER XIX.
The Flood.

The great storm had an influence
upon all the characters of this history,
and to this influence some Of the stir
ring events which follow may be at
tributed
It placed great barrier between the
royalists on the south and the repub-
licans on the north side Of the swollen
Orinoco. and delayed the departure of
Philip Of Aragon toward the capital
But to no one did it bring such dis
tress and danger, change of plan and
disaster, as to the two young Ameri-
cans and the wife and daughter of
General Salvarez, who had up to that
time been secure in their underground
retreat.
The first day Of the storm they were
content to wait quietly in their ap-
parently safe shelter, fearing nothing.
But on the second day, when the
roar Of the rushing waters reached
their ears, they began to feel anxious,
not only for themselves but for Sal
varez. for they did not know how far
he had got on his journey.
On the third day their anxiety for
themselves became so great that near
~ everything else was driven from
their minds. Toward night, on this
third day, the Coroni so far overfowed
Its banks as to send a rushing, roaring
stream into the secret passage.

when the water began pouring in and
spreading out over the floor Of the
caverns. "Once before there was a
storm like this, and the caverns be-
came filled with water

asked Tempest.
Jacinta looked obviously from one
to the other.
"The fatboat!" cried Dona Maria,
suddenly. IF we could but reach it.
It is strong-it can outlive the storm.

"The very. thing!' said Medworth.
Remember, Jack, the large boat at
the wharf just above? We have seen
It often enough"
"Goodi" said Tempest I'VE ought
to be able to go to it, even If we had
to swim"
Come on" said Medworth, now
thoroughly alert and alive to the dan
gers and possibilities Of the situation.
He darted toward the entrance with
Tempest splashing along close behind
him, leaving Dona Maria and Jacinta
huddled together, fearing. hoping, ST.
lently watching and trusting their
brave companions.
The stream of water that poured In
through the entrance was about foot
deep, and the roar OF the storm and
torrent about them was deafening.
There was no need for caution The
night was dark, and SO fierce was the
storm that no sentry was outside OF
the castle or the soldiers quarters.

down stream and across 1t, bringing

"Hurray!" shouted Tempest. ''If we
can wind up forty feet Of rope we can
bring it to the entrance"
They entered the deck-house and
found that with only one mooring the
boat moved against the stream as
easily as across the current. Ten min
utes of hard work brought them to the
mouth OF the caverns.
Without hesitating, Medworth leaped
on and made his way to the hole.
"Dona Maria!" he shouted. "Jacin-
ia! Come! We have the boat and are
waiting for you.''
The voice of Dona Maria answered
him. and soon the wife and daughter
OF Salvarez were at the entrance.
Can you get out?" asked Medworth,
extending his hand to assist them.

Dona Maria, as, half by her own exer-
tons and half by Medworth's help, she
scrambled out of the hole. Jacinta fol-
lowed her.
To reach the boat, which could not
be brought nearer than twelve feet to
the mouth OF the passage, they were
forced to founder through from one to
four feet of water, the depth increas-
ing as they drew nearer the boat, and
Medworth found himself unable to
keep both women on their feet.

called.

"Dona Maria, your hand" he yelled.

Between them they assisted Dona

lifted Jacinta out OF the water and
placed her by her mothers side.
Just then a terrific gust of wind
dashed the water into increased fury;
the strain on the rope was doubled,
and it snapped. The boat was hurled
away down the Coroni, leaving Tenn

was plain that he must think quickly
and to some purpose, and to act as
quickly. His first thought was to re-
turn to the secret passage. It sudden

weapon. But in great emergencies,
when Tempest was obliged to think
quickly, he acquitted himself credit
ably. It was so in this instance, as it
had been in many others all over the
world.

mistaken, this part will be entirely
under water in twenty hours more"
Upon reaching this conclusion he
did not hesitate, but plunged through
the increasing depth of water that was
pouring in through the entrance to
the caverns, and floundered through
the swash toward the lantern that still
hung high up where the water would
not reach it for few hours at least.
He hurried up the stone steps to the
sliding panel.
Putting his ear to this, he heard
voices. At first they were low and in

back the panel and peered inside the

Hastily selling it, he crept again
through the aperture, closed the panel
carefully and went down into the I'M

Above the storm he heard a shrill
scream as of horse in mortal terror,
and blindly following the sound as

soon found himself at the stables.
The stables upon which he had come
were not the well-kept stables where
the family horses Of Salvarez were
