Seymour turned on his heel and
sprang aft, bringing his hand the while
up to his heart. AS he did so his
fingers instinctively went to the pocket
of his waistcoat and sought the letter
he carried there. He took it out half
mechanically and glanced at the fa-

his hand and blew it to the feet of Tai

CHAPTER XVIII.

BOOMING roar came down
IA upon them from the frigate.
kr@s-= which had fired a broadside,
49, which was followed presently
by. the whistling Of shot over their
heads, Great rents were seen in the
canvas, pieces of running gear fell to
the deck, there was a crashing. rending
sound, and a part of the rail left stand
ing abaft the miZzen shrouds smashed
into splinters and drove inboard under
the impact of a heavy shot.
One splinter struck the man at the
helm in the side; he fell with a shrek
and lay white and still by the side of
the wheel. which, no longer restrained
by his hand, spun round madly. An
other splinter hit the sword of Talbot,
breaking the blade and sweeping IL
from his hand, and the unlucky scrap
Of paper was blown into the sea. The
spanker sheet was cut in two, and the
boom swept out to windward, knock
ing one of the men overheard. There
was neither time nor opportunity to
pick him up. and he went to his death
u%nheeded.
Seymour dropped his sword, every
instinct of a sailor aroused, and sprang
to the horse block. The ship, left 10 it.

Bentley jumped to seize the helm.
SLOW the head sheets there cried
the lieutenant. Lively! Aft here and
haul In the spanker! Brazil up the fore

helm"
There was another broadside from
the heavy guns Of the frigate. Talbot
replied with his stern chaser, and a
cloud Of splinters showed that the shot
took effect, whereat the men at the
gun cheered and loaded, and then
crash went the mizzen topgallant mast
above their heads.
Lively, men!' shouted Seymour,

"We are almost abreast the first pass.

Seymour turned as if he had been

and yet persisting. ''the frigate is com

Seymour in a passion of temper. Go

heavy emphasis upon that talismanic
word duty" which seems to appeal
more powerfully to seamen than to any
other class of men. Love is a mighty

went on with rude eloquence. ''ever

And, white with passion and rage, he
drew his own sword and sprang for
ward. No less resolutely did Talbot
meet him. Their blades crossed and
ran against each other. Bentley
wrung his hands in dreadful indeci-
sion, not knowing what to do; he dared
not lay hands upon his superior Off
Ger, yet this combat must cease. But
the fierce sword play, both men being
masters of the weapon. as was the
habit Of gentlemen of that day, was
suddenly interrupted.
