that I should he among the spectators.

But I only stammered. And it was
the Rev. Crowles who ~unctuously gave
him the truth Of the matter; to wit,
that I had been sent to see the wicked
pirates hanged for the good Of my
soul.

The cannon fire terminated a little
after dark in one awful persuasive
roar that made the windows of the

But 1t was a week before We learned
in the columns Of the Charleston Mer-
cury that a regular sea fight had been
fought of the mouth of the Santee
River between the ship Of Capt. Lang.
a notable and monstrous pirate, and
the United States corvette Spider. The
action had terminated in the pirate

tailor. slightly bald and forty-two
years old.
Nantes is one OF the twelve cities OF

through there on the way to and from
the coast towns of southern Brittany
and. having come from st. Nazaire,
was waiting in the Care dOrleans In
Nantes for the train to Paris and
meanwhile trying to find my porter to
see If he had all my luggage gathered
in one place.
i found him at the far end Of the
quai. with my bags at his feet, talking
to young girl wearing the Breton
coiffe and the wide-sleeved Breton cos
tune.
"Auguste has come" the girl was
saying as I approached. He arrived
last night from Paris. and came to our

I turned and saw a group Of three ad-

the other was a tall man in baggy
corduroy trousers. while between them
was a small man. wearing trousers
