CHAPTER TX.
The EeIlona,

The Bellona.
The pleasure craft Pope had board
ed was by no means rich one. Her
name was the Bellona; she was from
Terceira; the countess and two nieces
had been left to winter among the
oranges and sweet winds of an is
land
The Earl had several occasions to
go home; one was a parliamentary
need, and loi behold his lordship's
stately figure in the thick of his das-
tardly crew, being rowed away by pi-
rates to a little armed brig, while
the two captains sacked his vessel.
But they found very little. The
hairy scoundrels grew wanton in dis
appointment and roared out blasphe-
mics as they smashed the mirrors and
ripped through the cushions with their
cutlasses. 1t was almost dark when
they had secured the available plunder.
among which was a considerable store
OF provisions, fine wine, brandies and
champagne, and a small quantity of
live stock, chiefly poultry. The booty
was taken on board the brig by Crys-
tai.
Pope remained with few men to
provide for the determination OF the
pleasure craft. In a small carpenters
chest in the fOrecastle they found an
anger. With this tool one of the sail.
Ors who understood carpentry, was
dispatched by Pope into the hold. there
to drill to starboard and larboard. four
holes under water in the vessels side.
While the wretch was thus employed,
the others lighted lantern and hoist

taain topmast head
after the holes had been bored. they
all stood a minute at the coamings
ofthe Satch to listen to the noise of
the water running in. Then Pope
sings out:

black. his face showed signs of his

one arm was slung in a piece OF rope
round his neck. Pope roared out:

They arrived presently, and made a
group close abaft the mainmast. After
a cool and critical survey, during
which he nodded cigar with both
hands, Pope sung out:

Pope looked in silence with a red

his head with a gesture of whitening

Earl, called out. "He runs too fast to

HE has a wife and children" an

of the companion.

among the little crowd, limp, yellow

Pope gave short laugh, which was
echoed among his men, and turning to

tone was perhaps reflected in his lord
ships silence and gaze. But not a
man of the schooner's crew would
join the pirates, and when this was
made clear, Pope swung on his hee
and walked aft to Lord Fitzgibbon.

the bulwarks waiting for her to go
down. At last she sank. She had

extinction in the smoky gloom which

pany at supper in the cabin.
The nobleman followed the captain
and they sat down to meal OF cold
food which had been plundered from

put upon the table by the cabin man;
the Earl knew to whom those bottles
had belonged.
