mis- mouth O'Reilly had offered him
self.
Ten minutes later he found himself
at the steering oar of one of the ships
lifeboats, heading shoreward. There
was long nights work ahead; time
passed, and so O'Reilly altered his
course and cruised along outside the
white waiter, urging his crew to 1ustier
strokes.
A mile-tWO miles-it seemed like
ten to the taut oarsmen, and then a
black hiatus Of still water showed in
phosphorescent foam. O'Reilly ex-
plored it briefly; then he turned back
toward the ship. Soon he and his crew
were aboard andS the ship was cropping
her way toward fthe break in the reef.
Meanwhile, her 3deck became scene
Of feverisl activity; out from her hold
came cases of ammunition and medical
supplies; the fieldpieee on the bow was
hurriedly disnaounted; the small boats,
of which there was an extra number,
were swung cut, with the result that
when The Fair Play had Unanswered
as close as she dared everything was
in readiness.
O'Reilly took the first load through,
and discharged it upon sandy beach.
Every man tumbled overheard and
waded ashore with packing case; he
dropped this in the sand above high
tide mark, and then ran back for an
other. 1t was swift, hot work. From
the darkness ION each side came the
sounds of other boat crews similarly
engaged.
Daylight was coming when the last
boat cast off and the Fair Play, with
a hoarse, triumphant blast of her
whistle, faded into the north, her part
in the expedition at an end.
Dawn showed the voyagers that they
were indeed fortunate, for they were
upon the mainland of Cuba, and as far
as they could see, both east and west,
the reef was unbroken. Men were

Late on the second day after the bat
tlesAsensio returned to his bOhio. Rosa
and Evangelina, already frantic at the.
delay, heard him crying to them while
he was still hidden In the woods, and
knew that the worst had happened.
There was little need for him to, tell
bis story, for She was weaponless,
stained, and bloody. He had crossed
the hills on foot after a miraculous es-
cape from that ravine of death. Of his
companions he knew nothing what
ever; the mention Of Estebans name
caused him to beat his breast and cry
aloud. He was weak and feverish, and
his incoherent story of the midnight
encounter was so highly colored that
Rosa nearly swvoned with horror.
The girl stood swaying while he told
how the night had betrayed them, how
he had wrought incredible feats OF
yalor before the shifting tide of battle
had spewed him out the end of the
sunken road and left him half dead In
the grass. Asensio had lain there I'M
til, finding himself growing stronger,
he had burrowed into tangle of vines
at the foot of a wall, where he had re-
manned until the fighting ceased. When
the Spaniards had finally discovered
their mistake and had ceased riding
one another down, when lights came
and he heard Colonel CObO cursing
them. like one insane, he had wriggled
away, crossed the calzada, and hidden
In the woods until dawn. He had been
walking ever since; he had come home
to die.
Asensio recovered, but he was sadly
changed. There was no longer any
martial spirit In him; he feared the
Spaniards, and tales of their atrocities
cowed him.
Then Cobo came into the Yumuri.
The valley, already well-nigh deserted,
was filled to the brim with smoke from
burning fields and houses, and through
itsthe sun showed like copper shield
Refugees passed the bohio, bound
farther into the hills, and Asensio told
the two women that he and they must
also go. So the three gathered uI
what few things they could carry on
their backs and fled.
They did not stop until they had
gained the Businesses Of the Pan dc
Matanzas. Here they built "a shelter
and again took up the problem of liv
ing, which was now more difficult thar
ever.

City OF 6e9qdfSa
The night was moonless and warm.
An impalpable haze dimmed the star
glow, only the diffused Illumination Of
the open sea enabled the passengers
Of the Fair Play to identify that
blacker darkness on the horizon ahead
of them as land. Major Ramos was on
the bridge with the captain. TwoSmen
were taking soundings in a blind
search for that steep wall which forms
the side of the old Bahama channel.
When the lead finally gave them warm
ing, the Fair Play lost her Roadway
and came to stop, rolling laZily.
Major Ramos spoke in low tone
from the darkness above, calling for a
volunteer boats crew to reconnoiter
and to look for an opening through the
reef. Before the words were out of

REX
BEACH
Continued from last week

Eyes, I purposely drew attention to
us In Charleston, while our ship was
loading. She's ready and waiting for
us now; and by daylight we ought to
be safely out to sea. Meanwhile the
Dauntless has weighed anchor and Is
steaming north. followed, | hope, by
all the revenue cutters hereabouts."
II was the darkest time Of the night
when the special train came to stop
at a bridge spanning one Of the deep
Southern rivers. In the stream below,
dimly outlined In the gloom, lay the
Fair Play, small tramp steamer; her
crew were up and awake The new ar
rivals were hurried aboard, and within
a half-hour she was feeling her way
seaward.
Withsdaylight. caution gave way to
haste, and the rusty little tramp be-
gan to drive forward for all she was
worth. She cleared the three-mile
limit safely and then turned south. Not
craft was In sight; not smudge of
smoke discolored the skyline.
It had been trying night for the
fiHbusters, and when the low coast1ine
was dropped astern they began to
think Of sleep. Breakfast Of a sort
was served ON deck, after which those
favored ones who had berths sought
them, while their less fortunate COM
panions stretched out wherever they
could find place.
Johnnie O'Reilly was elated. AL
ready he could see the hills Of. Cuba
doing behind their purple wells; in
fancy he felt the fierce white heat from
close-walled streets, and scented the
.odors of "mangly" swamps. He heard
the ceaseless signing Of the royal
palms. How he had hungered for it
all; how he had ragged at his delays !!
It had seemed so small matter to
return; it had seemed so easy to seek
out Rosa and to save herl Yet the
days had grown into weeks; the weeks
had aged into months. Well, he had
done his best; he had never rested
from the moment of Rosa's first ap-
peal. Her enemies had foiled him
once, but there would be mo turning
back this time-rather firing squad
or q dungeon in Cabanas than that.
