Without another word I sprang up
the ladder
The men were idling about the hot
decks in surly knots Of threes and
tours, but the news frightened up their
sullen faces as rain does parched

and cleaned evilly in the moonlight.

and perched like firefies in the rigging.
An attempt was made to get the gal

fight. But her people were mere dis

pine, and SO crowded as they We're
they succeeded best in getting into
each others way. Some flew to the
sheets and braces, some merely hurried
about bawling orders and directions to
whoever woEld listen, and some loaded
ordnance and small arms with frantic
haste. These last, as soon as the
charges were rammed home, We're fir
ed. Bow chaser, stern chaser and
broadside pieces were fired as fast as
the gunners could load them, but as
they did not trouble themselves to take
any special aim the volleys may per-
haps have disturbed the fishes, but
from us, the enemy, they drew. not
groans, but grins.
There the great galleon lay helpless,
like some wooden island, splitting In
nocuous fire from every point. But the
Scourge drew on under perfect com
mand and in perfect silence.
When we were almost aboard of the
enemy, Alec put down his helm and,
running across her bows, poured in a
heavy raking fire as each gun bore and
then, getting before the wind again,
came back under her stern and repeat
ed the dose from the same pieces.
While they were still lying helplessly
head to wind he went about once more
and, sending his starboard broadside
into her poop windows as he shot past
ran away to northward and engaged at
long range.

hitherto. save for few shot holes in
here and there a white Jagged splinter,
we had suffered nothing. But Alec had
noted that the don's fire was steadying
down as discipline began to assert it
self and, knowing that one well aimed
brOadside must either dismantle or sink
us, remembered that in fight against
heavy odds brains and not brute force
should be the watchword. So, conf
dent in the powers of his long gun, he
sheered off to a distance and began
pelting the Spaniard with single shots
as fast as the piece could be loaded.
The don, on his part, after quarter
of an hours furious cannonade, grew
tired Of firing at mark which was OBJ
viously beyond the range of his guns
and, setting his sail trimmers to work,
got the galleon on the larboard tack.
She was headed for Margherita, and it
was plain to us that she intended to
run for shelter under the batteries Of

Now, such a project by no means

to carry away some spar that would
disable her. But though Jan Pengony
could plump shot into the hull every

And so, flattening in our sheets once
