aye missed him! Ye missed him !"
cried the rival theorist, joyfully. He
was mistaken; the smoke cleared, and
there was the pirate captain leaning
wounded against the mainmast with
q Yankee bullet in his shoulder, ana
his crew uttering yells of dismay ana
vengeance. They jumped. and ragged,
and brandished their knives, and made
horrid gesticulations of revenge; ana
the white eyeballs of the Malays and
Papuans glittered fiendishly; and the
wounded captain raised his sound arm
and had a signal hoisted to his con-
sort, and she bore up in chase, and
tanning her forelateen fiat as board,
Law nearer the wind than the Agra
could, and sailed three feet to her two
besides. On this superiority being
made clear, the situation of the mer-
chant vessel, though not so utterly des-
perate as before. Monk fired his lucky
shot, became pitiable enough. II she
ran before the wind, the fresh pirate
would cut her off; if she lay to wind
ward she might postpone the inevita-
BILE and fatal collision with q foe as
strong as that she had only escaped
by q rare piece of luck, but this would
give the crippled pirate time to refit
and unite to destroy her. Add to this
the failing ammunition, and the
thinned crew.
Dodd cast his eyes all round the
horizon for help.
The sea was blank.
The bright sun was hidden now;
drops of rain fell, and the wind was
beginning to sing, and the sea to rise
q little.
"Gentlemen," said he, '1et us kneel
down and pray for wisdom, in this sore
strait"
He and his officers kneeled on the
quarterback. When they rose, Dodd
stood rapt about a minute; his great
thoughtful eye saw no more the en-
envy, the sea, nor anything external; it
was turned inward. His officers
looked at him in silence.
Sharpe" said he, at last, "there
must be a way out of them with such
q breeze as this is now, If we could but

Dodd unused again.
"About ship!" said he, softly, like an
absent man.
cay, ay, sir"
"Steer due north !" said he, still like
one whose mind was elsewhere.
While the ship was coming about
he gave minute orders to the mates
and the gunner, to insure cooperation
in the delicate and dangerous maneuV-
ers that were sure to be on hand.
The wind was w. N. W.; he was
standing north; one pirate lay on his
lee beam stopping a leak between
wind and water, and hacking the
deck clear Of his broken masts ana
yards. The other fresh, and thlrstlng
for the easy prey, came up to weather
on him and hang ON his quarter, pirate
fashion.

ment, lay the destroyer, buffeting ana
wriggling-like heron on the water
with its long wing brakeman utter
cripple.
The victorious crew raised a stun
ming cheer.
"Silence!" roared Dodd, with his
trumpet. GAIL hands make sail"
He set his courses, bent new jib,
and stood out to windward close
hauled, in hopes to make good Off
ing, and then put his ship dead before
the wind, which was now rising to a
stiff breeze. In doing this he crossed
the crippled pirates bows, within 81
yards, and sore was the temptation to
rake him; but his ammunition being
short, and his danger being imminent
from the other pirate, he had the self
command to resist the great tempta-
ton.
He hailed the mizzen top: "Can
you two hinder them from firing that
gun?'
81 rather think we can," said
FulIalove, "eh, colonel?" and tapped
his long rifle.
The ship no sooner crossed the
schooner's bows than Malay ran for
ward with a linstock. Pop went the
colonel's ready carbine, and the Ma
lay fell over dead, and the linstock
flew out of his hand. A tall Portu-
guese, with a movement & of rage
snatched it I'D. and darted to the. gum

more he could put her dead before the
wind.
No. The pirate, on whose side luck
had been from the first, got half a
broadside to bear at long musket shot,
killed a midshipman by Dodds side,
cut away two of the Agra's mizzen
shrouds, wounded the gaff, and cut
the lib away; down fell that powerful
sail into the water and dragged across
the ships forefoot, stopping her way
| to the open sea she painted for; the
mates groaned, the crew cheered
stoutly, as British tars do in any great
disaster; the pirates yelled with fero-
cious triumph, like the devils they
| looked.
But most human events, even calam-
tiles, have two sides. The Agra being
brought almost to standstill, the
pirate forged ahead against his will,
and the combat took a new and ter
rible form. The elephant gun popped,
and the rifle cracked, in the Agra's
mizzen top, and the man at the pirates
helm jumped into the air and fell
dead; both theorists claimed him.
Then the three carronades peppered
him hotly, and he hurled an iron
shower back with fatal effect. Then
at last the long 1S-pounders on the
gun deck got word in. The old Miller
was not the man to miss a vessel
alongside in a quiet sea; he sent two
round shots clean through him, the
third splintered his bulwark and swept
across his deck.
"His masts! fire at his masts"
roared Dodd to Monk, through his
trumpet; he then got the jib clear

md made what sill he could without

and made what sail he could without
taking all the hands from the guns.
This kept the vessels nearly along
side a few minutes, and the fight
was hot as fire. The pirate now for
the first time hoisted his flag. 1t was
black as ink. His crew yelled as it
rose; the Britons, instead of quailing,
cheered with fierce derision, the pi-
rates wild crew Of yellow Malays,
black chinless Papuans, and bronzed
Portuguese, served their side guns,
12-pounders, we'll and with ferocious
cries; the white Britons, drunk with
battle now, naked to the waist,
grimed with powder and spotted like
leopards with blood, their own and
their mates, replied with loud I'M
daunted cheers, and deadly hail Of
grape from the quarterback; while
the master gunner and his mates,
loading with a rapidity the mixed
races opposed could not rival, hulled
the schooner we'll between wind and
water, and then fired chain shots at
her masts, as ordered, and began to
play the mischief with her shrouds
and rigging. Meantime, Fullalove and
Kenealy, aided by Vespian, who
loaded, were quietly butchering the
pirate crew two a minute, and hoped
to settle the question they were fight
ing for; smooth bore versus rifle, but
unluckily neither fired once without
killing, so "there was nothing proven"
The pirate, bold as he was, got sick
of fair fighting first; he hoisted his
mainsail and drew rapidly ahead,
with slight bearing to the windward,
and dismounted q carronade and stove
in the ships quarter-boat, by way OF
a parting kick.
The men hurled a contemptuous
cheer after him; they thought they
had beaten him off. But Dodd knew
better. He was but retiring a little
way to make more deadly attack
than ever; he would soon wear and
cross the Agra's defenseless bows, to
rake her fore and aft at pistolshot dis
lance, or grapple, and board the en-
feebled ship 200 strong.
Dodd flew to the helm, and with his
own hands put it hard weather to
give the deck guns one more chance,
the last, of sinking or disabling the de-
stroyer. AS the ship obeyed, and a
deck gun beloved below him, he saw
vessel running out from Long Island,
and coming swiftly up on his lee quar-
ter.
1t was a schooner. Was she coming
to his aid?
Horror! A black flag foated from
her foremost head.
While Dodd's eyes were staring al
most out of his head at this deathblow
to hope, Monk fired again, and just
then q pale face came close to Dodd's
and a solemn voice whispered in his
ear: "Our ammunition is nearly
donew
Dodd seized Sharpes hand convul-
sively, and pointed to the pirates con-
sort coming up to finish them, and
said, with the calm of q brave mans
despair: "Cutlasses! and die hard !"
At that moment the master gunner
fired his last gun. 1t sent chain
shot on board the retiring pirate,
took off a Portuguese head and spun
it clean into the sea ever so far to

wholesome breakfast dish. One family
can never get enough of the fruit put
up to supply the demand just for this
breakfast dish and for soup.
Take fresh, nice tomatoes which
have been followed out; fill with fresh
mushrooms, fried in butter for five min
utes, with a seasoning of onion, celery
salt and pepper.
Fried omatoes.-Select firm, ripe
tomatoes and slice without peeling in
half-inch slices, dip in beaten egg and
crumbs and fry a delicate brown in a
tablespoonful of olive oil. Season with
salt and pepper and make Il cream
sauce in the pan in which the tomatoes
were sauted. Serve on buttercd toast
with the cream sauce poured over.
Canning Tomatoes for SaIads.-Here
Is another recipe which is highly rec
commended and socrds worth trying:
Take perfectly sound, not quite ripe
tomatoes from the vines leaving half
Inch of the stem on each. The toma-
toes must not be bruised or cracked
Put layer of clean grape leaves in the
bottom of a large glass jar, then lay in
a layer of tomatoes and more grape
leaves until the jar is filled. Fill with
hard water; if not obtainable, add lime
water to make it hard. On the top of
each jar pour a half-inch Of olive oil
to keep out the air; cover tightly and
keep in cool place. In two or three
weeks examine the fruit and renew
the water and oil. This should be done
when any fruit is taken out also.
Tomatoes scooped out and an egg
dropped into the cavity, seasoned and
baked until the egg is set, is a dish
well liked, though not new.
