waist was not difficult A piece of pigiron ballast weighing perhaps two hundred and fifty pounds lay in the lee of the boom boats opposite the open gangway. The mate had put it there himself.
 He picked it up as if it had been a paying-stone, and stepping to the gangway, lifted it high above his head and crashed it down into the over loaded boat below him.
 The heavy iron bar went through the bottom of the boat as if that had been made of paper. She began to fill at once. Those of her crew who could do so scrambled aboard the other two boats lying abreast of each other near the main chains, while the hapless wounded drifted away and sank in the darkness.
 Mir. Conant then joined the men who had united forces with Captain Hi rams party and the attack on the English was pressed home with vigor. Slowly but surely they were forced to give back, and the ship was all most cleared when above the noise ot the tumult womans shriek rent the air.

a few days cantact with the man that there were dark passages in it which nobody would be permitted to learn in the boatswain could help it.
 Only a certain quality of authority which the man possessed that made him valuable influence in controlling his rascally crew had enabled Captain Hiram to tolerate him at all; but he was the best man forward of the mast undoubtedly, in an assemblage in which Greeks and Levantines and other foreigners made up the great majority.
 So far, however, there had been. no open outbreak upon the part of the boatswain.
 Indeed, for a certain reason he had perior. With a high idea of his own charms, and with an utter indifference to the relative stations of himself and the Captains daughter, he had plainly striven to, ingratiate himself with the latter, somewhat to Susans amuse- ment, more to her disgust
 Susan, who entered fully into her fathers difficulties and perplexities, had refrained from disclosing the fact that the boatswain had made advances to her She felt abundantly able to take care of herself, and there was not the slightest reason for annoying Captain Hiram with such recital. His anger would have been fearful, indeed, and he would have wrecked it to the full upon the boatswain.
 It was the day of the cat -o'-nine- tails, and Susan had no doubt that her father would cause Francois to be flogged half to death. This would serve no purpose save to turn a latent into an active enemy, and with the crew then on board the Hiram and Susan it was a possibility not to be sneered at.
 Indeed, it was quite evident that should the expected boat attack be made that night from the British fri gate to windward it could only be repulsed by the united 'efforts of every man on the ship. Therefore, adding to her other good qualities of manly stamp the art of reticence, Susan said nothing.
