Some unconsidered cur rent must have swept me to the right, for, when the outlines Of the bark again became dimly visible through the night I found myself we'll to star board of the vessel.

"Cut the rope ana send it adrift. Now come along with me"
 The darker loom of the sloop van ished slowly, as the slight current sweeping about the end of the wharf orifted the released boat to which c'ung outward into the bay. There was scarcely a ripple to the sea. and yet felt that the boat was steadily drifting out into deep water. I was stiil strangely weak, barely able to re- tain my grasp. Finally mustered every ounce of remaining energy in cne supreme efrort and succeeded in dragging my body up out of water over the boats stern, sinking helpless ly forward !nto the bottom. The mo- ment this was accomplished every sense deserted me, and I lay there motionless, totally unconscious.
 shall never know how long l re- maiDed thus. Yet this time could not have been great As though awaken ing from sleep faint consciousness returned. Then the sharp pain of my wounds, accented by the sting of salt water, brought me swift realization of where l was and the circumstances bringing me there. 1 had evidently lost considerable blood, yet this had already ceased to flow, and a very slight examination served to convince me that the knife slashes were none of them serious. My other injuries were merely bruises to add to my dis comfortable result of blows dealt me by Sanchez and Cochose, aggravated by the bearlike hug of the giant ne gro. Indeed, I awoke to the discov- cry that was far from being a dead man; and, inspired by this knowledge, the various incidents of the night flashed swiftly back into my mind.
 No gieam of light appeared in any direction; no sound echoed across the dark waste of water. It was clearly impossible for me to attempt any re- turn to the wharf through the impene- trable black curtain which shut me in. What, then, could I do2 What might l still hope to accomplish? Those fel- lows had swept the sloop clean, and had doubtless long ago scuttled it. They would suddenly find themselves leaderless, unguided. Would that suf- fee to stop them7 Would the discov- cry of his body halt his followers and send them rushing back to their boat, eager to get safely away7 This did not seem likely. Estada knew of my boarding the sloop from the wharf, and would at once connect the fact of my being ashore with the killing of Sanchez. This would satisfy him there was no further danger. Besides, these were not men to fAe in panic. Surely not with that ruffian Estada yet alive to lead them, and the knowledge that fifty thousand pounds was wonder in that unguarded house, with no one to protect the treasure but two old men asleep, and the women.
