and Mendez were lifting the girl l.. her feet, and rather roughly urging her forward Her eyes reflected all the unutterable horror which for the moment dominated her mind, while her loosened hair, disarranged by struggle, only served to intensity the pallor of her face.
 Hustle her along lively, boys shouted back Estada coarsely. "Tf she won't move, give her shove. Then tie her up again. and take the turn of q rope round her. What do you think this is--a queens reception? Move lively, senorita," in mock sarcasm.
 Her gaze settled on him, where he hung far out, grasping a backstay, watching the movements below, and her slender form strengthened as by the acquisition of new strength.
 "If these creatures will take their hands off me-" she said, using their tongue without a tremor in the clear voice. T can easily go up alone. What is 1t you are so afraid of--a woman?"
 The expression of Estada's face promised an outburst of profanity, but, instead of giving it utterance. he lifted his cap in sudden pretense at gal lantry.
 Your pardon, senorita," he said in tone of mockery. If you have come to your senses at last, it is well. Leave her alone, men. Now, my beauty, am taking you at your own word-a step, and then the protection of my hand. We welcome you as guest aboard. :"

 She turned her back on him, thus coming face to face with Levere, who stood enjoying the scene, a wide grin on his dark face, revealing a row or white teeth under a Jet-black mus tache.
 You, sir-you are an officerT
 T have charge of the deck.'
 eThen where am I to go?"
 The mulatto, surprised by the sud den question, glanced inquiringly toward Estada, who had already com pletely lost his sense of humor.
 "GoY the latter growled. "Why send the wench below. I'll see to her later, and teach her who is the master here. on with her now, but be back quickly" He leaned out over the rail, sending his gruff voice below. Send up that chest, you men.
