fire. A man went down with q bullet In
his leg, and Duponcesu had gained an
other brsastwork.
Now tho boat from the schooner was
coming closer In. caught an asonaEsd
slancs from Duponcsau In its direction
then his eyes returned to his foes. and be
was shooting ducking. and squirmins In
TO the sand-wall. II was a pitiful chase,
like that Of a hare by hounds. but II was
also heroic, Tor the man made a noble
quarry, and the hounds wore more than
fearful Of his fire.
He's down :" cried Rodney. True,
Duponceau had fallen. but on the second
be was up and on again. and now he had
found the last dune. and he must stand
there or dash across the unprotected
beach
Come on - We fed down the stairs,
through the open door. and hard up the
shore. Now we could see another ele-
.nent Of danger. Some Of the enemy had
stolen through the pines. and were firing
at Duponcsau down the length OF his
dune.
Look I" ! muttsrsd. We stopped,
brearhless, painting. wids-syed. Dupon-
ceau burst out from the dune, whirled
about, fired back at the hidden foe, wheel
ed and shot at the men who were follow
ing him up the beach, and. turning, head
ed straight for the Ship.
Run !" j murmured, and Rodney
echoed me Run, Duponcsau, run. and
may Heaven help %
j have seen men run, but never ar Du-
ponceau ran that day. He seemed to
skim. almost TO fy, across that open
space. and behind him came his enemies,
no longer firing, no longer cursing, match
Ing their speed against his frantic flight.
Tbs Ersnchman neared bhe rocks, was
on thsm, was up and clambering over the
Ships side Then came sharp report,
and ] could see Dupponceau CULVER and
hang useless worse than useless. for he
was only half over tbs vessels rail.
