The sail swung round once more, and the
cog, battered and torn and well-nigh water
logged, staggered in for this haven of ref

spit to the south marked the mouth OF the
noble river. with a low-lying island of silted
sand in the center, all shrouded and cur
tanned by the spume of the breakers. A
line of broken water traced the dangerous
bar. which In clear day and balmy weather
has cracked the back of many a tall ship.

Target Practice for Soldiers

The United States army lighter Pontonaa,
Is daily taking parties of soldiers from tbs
Engineer Corps at Washington barrjcks IN
Fort FOote, Md, for target practice and
other work, the rife ranges OF the Enei

The recruits and men who have not
reached certain standard Of efficiency az
marksmen are taken to the fort and kent
on the range until they qualify as marks
men
Among the recent practice work done at
Fort Washington by the engineer soldiers
Is the building Of a steel wall suspension
bridge over one of the deep raviues that
run through the hills back of Fort Foote.
The bridge is lib feet long and at the deep
est part OF the ravine Is II feet above the
ground. The work was done by Company
g, Lieut. Robertson commanding, and those
who have seen 1t state 1t is a strong and
substantial piece OF work. The men cut
the timber used as anchors for the wire
cable In the woods back of the fort, strung
the cable and strung the platform under il
in nine days. Two heavily loaded teams
we're driven over the bridge and the COM
pany marched over 1t and the vibration
was very slight, so strongly had the bridge
been built. 1t is In this class of work
the detachment of engineer soldiers here
are employed.

CHAPTER XVIII.
How Sir Nigel Loring Put a Patch
Upon His Eye.

It was on the morning of Friday No
vember %. two days before the feast of
st. Andrew. that the cog and her two pris-
oners, after a weary lacking up the Gironde
and the Garonne, dropped anchor at last in
front of the noble city of Bordeaux. With
wonder and admiration, Alleyne leaning
over the bulwarks, gazed at the forest OF
masts. the swarm OF boats darting hither
and thither on the bosom Of the broad curv-
ing stream, TAD the gray, crescent-shaped
city which stretched with many a tower
and minaret along the western shore. Never
had he, in his quiet life. seen so great
town, nor was there in the whole of Eng
land. save London alone. one which might
match IL in size or In wealth. Here came
the merchandise of all the fair countries
which are watered by the Garonne and the
DOrdogne-the cloths of the south, the skins
OF Guienne, the wines OF the Medoc-to be
borne way to Hull, Exeter, Dartmouth,
Bristol or Chester, in exchange for the
woods and woolfeis of England. Here too
dwelt those famous shelters and welders
who had made the Bordeaux steel the most
trusty upon earth. and could give a tenn
per to lance or to sword which might mean
dear life to Its owner. Alleyne could see.
the smoke of their FORCES reeking up In the
clear morning air. The storm had died
down now to a gentle breeze, which waited
to his ears the long-drawn stirring bugle
calls which sounded from the ancient ram
parts.
