which he had involved himself by at
tempting to further the fight Of his
compatriots is to put it mildly. He

have attempted to brave a ship-of-the.
line like the Britannia would have

side would have blown the merchant
nan of the face Of the waters. The
Independence of the United States had
been recognized, but the country was
yet. too new and too weak for Eng.
land to treat her former colonists with
any very great amount of considera-
ton or respect. The ancient habit of
authority was too strong and England
for years had carried matters with q
high hand on the high seas.
Tuggles was a man Of sense and
J therefore he obeyed the imperious
mandate from the other ship. He sur
missed, of course why he had been
bidden to heave to. His unlucky pas
sengers had caused this humiliation
to be put upon him and he cursed the
kindly impulse which had led him
to receive them. He did not send BE-
low to awaken them. He would lei
the people in the approaching boat
DO that. 90

been filled with men and dropped

his own darker ship. Presently, he
heard sharp words of command from
the water below 90 % o
