coming as fast as they could travel
We're about to storm our fort.
So much is clear in my mind. OF
what followed could not pretend to
tell a connected story. Parts the other
boys saw, and I did not. Things 1 did
myself they remembered when I had
no recollection of them. With them 1t
was the same way. But here is what
happened, in the main.
The first attack was made with little
heart on their side. and repulsed more
by our energy than by any great dam
age we did them. / doubt if we hurt
one of them badly. At the same time
1t simply rained stones on them, the
rapidity of our fire making up for its
lack of direction. AS for them, they
wasted many a cartridge. Indeed, the
nrst principle of handling firearms, as
IL appeared to them, was to make as
much noise as possible. Hence they
pulled the trigger and trusted to Prov
idence for results. AS only two of the
rifles they captured were repeaters, and
as they were not familiar with the
others, even their noise-making prop
critics were not up to par. 1 saw one
man digging away at a shell with his
knife, instead of working the extractor.
Others snapped unloaded guns. An
other source of trouble to them was
that the rifles were of different calibre.
We found out afterward that they had
mixed the ammunition to their great
discomfort.
If he had known these things at the
time we might have bounced out and
licked them thoroughly then and there.
However, our case seemed so hopeless,
attacking them in the open, in the
daylight, that he didn't give it
thought, but let them retreat out of
range of our throwing, unmolested.
Finding themselves unframed, they
took heart. Then they began tactics
that played us out. They ran in, as if
to make a determined attack. OF

not afford not to-and equally of

do to throw at all. let along throw
straight. We all made the mistake CT
using too large stones. Instead Of
picking out little rounds fellows that
we could have handled all day with
out being much the worse for it, we
took them up to the limit of our
trength-weighing three or four
pounds apiece. After you have heav-
ed a few hundred three-pound stones
you know it.
When they saw our aim was uncer-
tain they tried to close in in earnest.
This time we could not keep them
off; 1t came to the widest kind of
hand-to-hand on top of the fort The
captain fought like twenty men. lie
was here, there and all over, striking
leaping, picking a man up bodily and
hurting him down. He was awake at
last. He roared like a bull as he
charged. 1 had my hands full, and
when the captain stumbled and fell l
dared not leave my place to help him.
If once they got in behind us the game
was up. They had stationed three
men with guns back to pick us off as
we showed ourselves, but the two par
ties were so mixed these sharpshoot-
ers could not fire. Always, the lack
of any combined effort in Santiago's
gang was our salvation.
Well, down went the captain, and
the next second Senior Caloran stood
over him, sword in hand At the
same instant two men came at me.
One fired when not ten feet away A
streak of lightning flew before me,
and then I felt myself falling, falling
falling. The last thing l saw as I
toppled over backward was a party of
men running up the beach.
1 came to and found Caloran bend
ing over me. We were alone. The re-
membrance of our position came to
me at the same instant, and 1 tried
TO get to my feet.

he munched his tobacco and spat at in
tervals steadied my nerves. Louis and
Knut had their eyes fixed on the Cap
tain. Not a sign of weakening was
apparent in either man. Sam looked
shaky, but determined. Caloran was
fiercely white. His black eyes and the
freckles on his face stood out in sharp
contrast. His thin nostrils f1ickered
continuously. His teeth were clinched
so tight the muscles of his jaws were
knotted. 1 was glad not to be opposed
to that hungry, Misunderstanding
man. The savage intensity of every
line of him was enough to give you the
creeps.
AS for myself, 1 thought I was the
picture of fright, yet in speaking after
ward Sammy said he was happier from
the moment he caught sight of the grin
on my face Old Sam is truthful boy,
and l believe the grin must have been
there. However, I'll take my solemn
affidavit. I never enjoyed one less.
Waves Of hot and cold went over me
as l stood, with one arm holding
supply of rocks and the other raised
for action, waiting the rush.
In the silence Santiago's snarling
came plainly to our ears. There was
a raging impatience in his tone. Gallo
ran showed his white teeth in a grim
smile.

These proposission to attack u.s." said
he "They weesh, perhaps, to have 100
