mighty cheer, and the guns were re- loaded for the next of the freebooters who came within range. The sea was dotted with bobbing heads and the small boats of the pirates were kept busy picking up the survivors from the sunken junk. However, we had little time for breathing spell, as the three other junks were coming at us all to- gether, and from three different points.
 But just then--and it always seemed an intervention of Providence to me the wind, which had been pulling for half an hour or more in feeble at tempt to gain the proportions of blow, sprang up right merrily and the cap tain ordered all sail spread. The men at the rail dropped their weapons and hurried aloft, and the canvas thrown out to the wind, the Sultana turned in answer to her helm and sped out to sea before the slow-moVing junks could get a shot at her. The pirates saw there was no use to pursue us, as we were too swift for them, and we were soon well up the coast and out of sight of Leong bay. That afternoon we sighted sail, and we we drew near to the stranger we recognized her as the Brit ish brig of war, Fox. Captain Henley went abroad the Fox in a long boat and reported our experience with the pi- rates, and the last we saw of the Fox that trip she was headed for Leong bay as fast as her sails would cry her. As we afterwards heard, the Fox reached the bay late in the evening, and, send- ing several boat-loads of tackles ashore, cleaned out the pirate settlement en-
 irely and took Quen We, the chief, q prisoner. Quen Wu was turned over to the authorities at Canton, and his head was speedily separated from his body by down stroke of the executioner's sword, in the market place, and all of his crew captured shared the same fate.

ine taken and sent home Ave valuable
prizes entered the port OF Bilbao In
Spain. The captains OF two of his
prizes and pnrt of their crews were

protested against their capture and had
Captain Leo arrested on charge OF
piracy. The local authorities sent tho
documents IN the case to Madrid, to.
gcther with the commission granted
by this new and unknown power.
In the decision of the Spanish min
istry depended not alone the fate Of
Captain Lee, but whether some OF the
most important ports In Europe should
be opened or closed to American crui-
sers and prlvnteers. The English mill
lister III Spain brought all his influence
to bear against Captain Lee. At this
moment the Declaration Of the Fourth
Of July reached Madrid. The complaint
against Captain Lee was dismissed,
supplies for his ship and aid in repair
