to estimates made here, which
in the absence of official fig
ures can only be conjectured,
the British losses in men in
the recent naval battle must be
somewhere in the neighbor-
hood OF 1000. 1t is similarly
estimated that the German
losses were at least between
1000 and 5000.

CHAPTER XVI.
The Razor Back.

Around the corner of the coast line
on the Isle of NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
, both from the bridge of the destroy sr
Jackson and from the grounds of the
governor, there jntted out into the
sea cliff, stern and forbidding. AS
matter Of fact, 1t was not all rock,
this cliff-a large part of its lorna.
ton was OF clay. Down the face OF
this cliff, its sharp edges rising nov
and then into the air like peaks, there
trailed path, narrow and perilou5,
from shore to cliff edge, known to Ger.
tain Of the inhabitants of Martinique
as the Razor Back.
Along this sharp, steep edge rar
q rope, and climbing the Razor Back
clinging TO this rope with q huge bur.
den on his shoulders, upward crawled
q man. Below him, thrusting its nose
into the beach, was a disreputable
looking boat laden with heavy wooden
boxes.
This man, in reality a giant, looked
like pygmy from below as he
crawled hand over hand to the heights
above. At the edge of the cliff he was
assisted by two other men who drag.
ged himso to terra firma and who re-
lieyed him Of his burden. This bur.
den they carried between them to a
hut. Before doing so they cut the big
man across the shoulders with whip
and pointed to the shore below The
big man nodded. He stood for one
moment on the edge Of the cliff and
gazed about him.. He gagged the grade
of the wicked, sharp, big Razor Back.
and nodded sonce again; then, nimbly
he leaped over the face Of the cliff
striking his heels into the edge of that
perilous path some thirty feet or more
below-andf then in spite of his huge
bulk ran like deer down to the
beach. - 80 \
The men above dropped their bur.
den and watched him,

ton fifteen years ago."
There was q touch upon Hernandez
shoulder. Hernandez whirled as
though at the fall of a trigger. A
third man faced him, low-browded,
Hernandez breathed
sigh of relief.
Half an hour later, with HIS final
load strapped to his back. the brute
climbed for the last time over the
edge Of the cliff. this time beafing his
own burden TO the hut The three
men already within the hut admitted
him.
There was no window to this hut,
and the light within was dim. The
room was bare. "Tidy little bungalow,
friend smuggler of Martinique" he
said.
The other man smiled grimly in his
turn. Tidy Is the word, soldier Of |

into the shadows. p
In another instant sne had reached
a carriage and an instant later some
thing descended over her head, smoth!
ering her cries something bound her
arms to her side. But the smuggler
had been right. Neal was there, bound
and observation-disclosures on the bot:
tom of the carriage. g.. ~
An instant later the vehicle ratified
sharply off into the night.
