Lie low," cried Awkward, motioning
with his left hand. ''They will learn
wisdom. They are bringing forward
shield and mantlet. We shall have some
pebbles about our ears ere long"
The three vessels had been sweeping
swiftly westward, the cog still well TO
the front, although the galleys were
drawing in upon either quarter. To the
left was a hard skyline unbroken by a
sail. Alleyne stood by the tiller, looking
backwards, the fresh wind full in his
teeth.
What was that?" he asked, as hiss
ing, sharp-drawn voice seemed to whisper
in his ear. The steersman smiled, and
pointed with his foot to where a short,
heavy cross-bow quarrel stuck quivering
in the boards. At the same instant the
man tumbled forward upon his knees, and
lay lifeless upon the deck, the blood
stained feather of a second bolt jutting
out from his back. AS Alleyne stopped
to raise him, the air seemed to be alive
with the sharp zip-zip of the bolts, and lie

answered cheerfully, and passed his order

but they come to our lure like chicks to
the fowler. To your arms, men!
As he spoke a roar of voices and a roll
of drums came from either galley, and
the water was dashed into spray by the
hurried beat of a hundred oars. Down
the pirates swooped.
In heavy clusters they hung upon the
forecastle all ready for a spring-faces
white, faces brown. faces yellow. and
faces black; fair Norsemen. swarthy
italians. fierce rovers from the Levant
and ferv Moors from the Barbary States
of all hues and countries, and marked
solely by the common stamp of wild
beast ferocity. Rasping up on either =

with horrid yell and shrill whoop upon

But wilder yet was the cry, and shrillel
still the scream. when there rose I'D from
the shadow of the cog's silent bulwarks
the long lines of the English bowmen
and the arrows whizzed in a deadly sleet
among the unprepared masses upon the
pirate decks.

The three archers named stood at the
further end of the poop, balancing them
selves with feet widely spread and bows
drawn, until the heads of the cloth-yard
arrows were level with the centre of the
stave. You are the surer, Watkin,"
said Awkward, standing by them with
rogue with the red Golf. You two bring

The throng of pirates had cleared away
from the great wooden catapult, leaving
two of their number to discharge it
One in a scarlet cap bent over it, steady
ing the jagged rock which was balanced
on the spoon-shaped end of the long
wooden lever. The other held the
loop of the rope which would re-
lease the catch and send the I'M
wieldly missile hurtling through the
air. So for an instant they stood, show
ing hard and clear against the white sail
behind them. The next, redcap had fallen
across the stone with an arrow between
his ribs; and the other, struck in the leg
and in the throat, was writing and splut-
tering upon the ground. AS he toppled
backward he had loosed the spring, and
the huge beam of wood, swinging round
with tremendous force, cast the corpse
of his comrade so close to the English
ship that its mangled and distorted limbs
grazed her very stern. AS to the stone,
it glanced off obliquely and fell midway
between the vessels. A roar of cheering
and of laughter broke from the rough
archers and seamen at the sight. answered

the house of Loring In the waist gath
e1ed the Southampton mariners, hairy
and burly men, with their jenkins thrown
off, their waists braced tight, swords,
mallets, and pole-axes in their hands
Their leader, Goodwin Hawtayne, stood
upon the poop and talked with Sir Nigel,
casting his eye up sometimes at the
swelling sail, and then glancing back at
the two seamen who held the tiller.
Pass the word" said Sir Nigel, "that
no man shall stand to arms or draw his
bow-string until my trumpeter shall
sound. 1t would be well that we should
seem to be a workmanship from South
ampton and appear to flee from them"
1--WE shall see them anon" said the
master-shipman. "Ha! said l not so?
There they lie, the water-snakes, in
Freshwater Bay; and mark the reek of
smoke from yonder point, where they have
been at their devils work. See how their
shallops pull from the land! They have
seen US and called their men aboard
Now they draw upon the anchor. See
them like ants upon the forecastle!
They stoop and heave like handy ship
men. But, my fair lord, these are no
niefs. doubt but we have taken in
hand more than we can do. Each of
these ships is a galeas, and of the
largest and swiftest make"
Il would l. had your eyes," said Sir
Nigel, blinking at the pirate galleys
''They seem very gallant ships, and
trust that we shall have much pleasance
from our meeting with them. 1t would
be well to pass the word that we should
neither give or take quarter this day
The yellow cog had now shot out from
the narrow waters of the Solent, and was
plunging and rolling on the long heave OF
Rhnr1T win
freshly from the east, with a very keen
edge to it; and the great sail bellied
roundly out, laying the vessel over until
the water Kissed beneath her lee bull
warks. Broad ungainly, she t1oun-
dered from wave to wave, dipping her
round bows deep into the blue rollers,
and sending the white fakes of foam in
spatter over her decks. On her llr-
board quarter lay the two dark galleys,
which had already hoisted sail and were
shooting out from Freshwater Bay in
swift pursuit, their double line of oars
giving them a vantage which could not
fail to bring them up with any vessel
which trusted to sails alone. High and
bluff the English cog; long, black, and
swift the pirate galleys, like two fierce
lean wolves which have seen a lordly
and unsuspecting stag walk past their
lair.
"Shall we turn, my fair lord, or shall
we carry on?" asked the master-shipman,
looking behind him with anxious eyes.
NAY, we must carry on, and play the
part of the helpless merchant"
"But your pennons? They will see
that we have two knights with u.s.
"Yet it would not be to a KNIGHTS

Englishmen in those days were skilled
and prompt in such matters, for it was
not long before that Edward had embarked
as many as fifty thousand men in the port
of Orwell, with their horses and their
baggage, all in the space of four-and-
twenty hours. So urgent was Sir Nigel
on the shore, and so prompt was Goodwin
Hawtayne on the cog, that Sir Oliver
Buttesthorn had scarce swallowed his
last scallop ere the peal of trumpet and
clang of maker announced that all was
ready and the anchor drawn. In the last
boat which left the shore the two COM
manders sat together in the sheets, a
strange contrast to one another, while
under the feet of the rowers was a litter
of huge stones which Sir Nigel had
ordered to be carried to the cog. These
once aboard, the ship set her broad main
sail, the breeze blew, the sails bellied,
over heeled the portly vessel, and away
she plunged through the smooth, blue
rollers.

as he stood upon the poop and looked on
either side of him, sit is a land which is
pity to go to France for what NAV be

from below" he continued, to his squires,
"and also, pray you, bring up Sir divers
and we shall don it here. Ye may then
see to your own gear for this day you

trance into the field of chivalry and prove
yourselves to be very worthy and valiant
squires. And now, Sir Oliver, as to our
dispositions: would it please you that 1
should order them or will your"

matter to your own iking''
"You shall fly your pennon upon the
fcle-part, then, and I upon the poop.
For foreguard I shall give you your own
forty men, with two-score archers. Two
score men, with my own men-at-arms and
squires, will serve as poop-guard. Ten
archers, with thirty shipmen, under the
master, may hold the waist, while ten lie
aloft with stones and arbalests."
Meanwhile there had been hustle and
preparation in all parts of the great YES
sci. The archers stood in groups about
the decks, new-stringing their bows and
testing that they were firm at the nocks
Among them moved Awkward and other
of the older soldiers, with few whispered
words of precept and of warning there.
Stand to it, my hearts of gold'' said
the old bowman, as he passed from knot
to knot. ''By my hilt! we are in luck
this journey. But it is time that we took
our order, for methinks that between the
Needle rocks and the Alum cliffs yonder
l can catch glimpse of the topmasts of
the galleys. Hewett, Cook, johnson,
Cunningham, your men are of the poop
guard. Thornbury, Walters, Hackett,
Baddlesmere, you are with Sir Oliver on
the forecastle Simon, you bide with
your lords banner; but ten men must go

Quietly and promptly the men took
their places, lying fat upon their faces on
the deck, for such was Sir Nigers order
Near the PROV was planted Sir divers

upon a field of gold. Close by the stern
stood Black Simon with the nennon of
