Both huge, black hands graspcd the
SpokrS, and it was evident that 1t re-
quircd all his giant strength TO con-
troll the bucking wheel. He was an
ugly.loOking brute, the lower portion
of his face apelike and the wool grow

an inch of forehead. His eyes lifted
an instant from the binnnCle card to
glance at me curiouSly. They exhb'
tied no flash of recognition.
For half an hour Estadu hung about
aft apparently paying no attention to
me, ana yet watching my movements
closely. There was little to be done,
but | thought it best to keep the watch
reasonably busy, so they might thus

about the deck, their very looks a
challenge. However, they kept out

to Interfere with their diversions.
After Estuda left the deck the ma
iority amused themselves gambling
and as / had received no orders to
interfere permitted the games to pro-
ceed. Mendez ihterfered only once
on occasion Of n brief fight. My only

l washed up hastily in my state

pclpleXed as to what might occur
within the next few moments. Yet
whatever the result there was no
avoiding it. My every move was one
of extreme caution.

of what all this might mean, yet

| Warn Dorothy.


The Portuguese evidently well
pleased at my prompt acceptance Of
his proposal talked on for some time,
explaining to me something of the sit
uation aboard the Namur, and point
ing out what he believed to he our
position on the chart, | asked a few
questions, although ! paid but little
attention to what he said, my mind
being busted with searching ont his
real purpose. No doubt the situation
was very nearly as he described 1t
TO bc-LcVcre was no navigator, and
Estada himself only an indifferent one.
Yet at that the course to the West
Indies was not a lOug one, and 1t the
Portuguese had been able to bring
the bark from there to the Chesa-
rcuke, the return voyage should not
tqrrlfy him. No, that was not the
ohicCt :she was planning to keep at
sea, TO yaylay and attack merchant
ships. and then, after a successful
cruise, arrive at Porto Grande laden
with spoils and hailed as great
leader. His plan was TO dispose of
Sauchez-~Cven TO permit the Spaniard
TO die Of his wounds; possibly even
to hasten and assure that death by
some secret resort TO violence. No
doubt LcYcre was also concerned In
the conspiracy and would profit by 1t,
and possibly these two were likewise
p assured of the cooperation Of the
more reckless spirits among the crew.
