 Haley dropped off to sleep, but my mind continued to wander until 1t con- jured up once again this West Indian pirate. His name and the story of his exploits had been familiar to me ever since I first went to sea. While only one among many operating in those haunted waters his resourceful- hSoop oelA AlAG anu SA oEALJ WOu ulIu an infamous reputation, a name of horror. In those days, when the curse of piracy made the sea a terror, no ordinary man could ever have suc- ceeded in attaining such supremacy ia crime
 Black Sanchez-and Haley pictured him as dandified, ordinary appear ing individual, with white and red complexion, a small mustache and flashing dark eyes-a mere Spanish gallant, without special distinction. Why. that description, strangely enough, fitted almost exactly thiG fel- low on board, this other Sanchez.
 The suspicion which had crept into my mind was so absurd, so unspeak- ably silly and impossible that I laughed at myself and dismissed the crazy thought. Chuczling over it I iiAally fell asleep.

 A red-faced man with a black beard thrust his head up above the after , rail and answered, using English, yet with a faint accent which was not Dutch.
 "We ran down to see if you were in any trouble. This is a strange place to anchor. What are you Dutch" .-..- [ The fellow waved his hands in a gesture indicating disgust.
 "Dat's eet. We're ov Rotterdam you see ze name ov ze sheep. But We not sail frum thar dis time-no. | We cum here from ze Barbadoes," he explained brokenly, "wiz cane sugar an hides. We vait here for our agent"
 But why anchor in a place like this? Why not go on up to the 1 wharves"
 "Vye not? For ziz-I no trust my l crew ashore. Fay Vest Indy niggers, an vud run away ven ze chancescum. know vat gay do." ~
 In spite of my efforts the two ves- sells were drifting rapidly apart. Dor othy appeared at the door of the cabin and stood there gazing in sur prise at the bark, while the moment | he caught sight of her Sanchez went hastily forward, removing his hat with so peculiar flourish as he approached as to cause me to notice the gesture. Fairfax waved his hand to me to resume our course. Shortly after he crossed the deck to the wheel. There he stood watching the bark for some | time.
 "What do you make .of her, Car ] lyle?" he asked finally. "I believe that fellow lied"
 "So do I, sir" answered promptly. Whatever else he may be, he's no peaceful Dutch trader. That fellow got his accent from south Europe. If he was loaded with cane sugar and hides for market he wouldn't be near 1 ly so high out of water. That bark was in ballast or l miss my guess. Be sides if he was trader where was his crew? tell you the men on board that hooker had orders to keep down."
 "I believe you are right" he admit ted frankly. "There is something wrong there. I'll tell Travers and have him send runner overland to give warning below"

 helpless, yet surrounded hy aunpd guards, while the few who had already been purchased by passengers hutn- bly followed their new masters ashore the moment the gangplanIi touched the soil of Virginia. There were five of us altogether thus favored, but I was the only one owing allegiance to Roger Fairfax. The rude landing wharf along which we lay was already densely crowded. Altogether 1t was n bustling scene, full of change and color, the air noisy with shouting voices, the line oftwharyes filled with a number of vessels, either newly ar. rived or prebaring to denart. It was

iua.-.
 It was already quite dusk when we finally drew in beside Travers' wharf and made fast. Our approach had been noted and Travers himself-a white-haired, white-bearded man, yet still hearty and vigorous, attlred in white duck-was on the end of the dock to greet us, together with nu- merous servants of every shade of color, who immediately busted them selves toting luggage up the steep path leading toward the house, stand ing conspicuous amid grove of trees on the summit of the bank. The oth- CTS followed, four fellows luggiRg with difficulty an iron-bound chest, the two older men engaged in earnest conver- sation. thus leaving Sanchez apparent. ly well satisfied with the opportunity alone to assist the girl. 4
 Except to render the sloop com pletely secure for the night, there re- mained little work for us to perform on board. The four of us passed the early evening undisturbed smoking and talking together. So the time passed quickly, and 1t must have been nearly midnight before we brought out blan- kets from the forecastle and lay down in any spot we chose on deck.
 It was a fair, calm night, but moon less, with but little wind stirring, and a slight haze in the air, obscuring the vision. The others must have fallen asleep immediately. At last, despair ing of sIumber, and perchance urged by some premonItion of danger, l arose to my feet and moved silently aft.
 My startled eyes caught a. glimpse of q speck of white emerging from the black shadows-the spectral glimmer of a small sail. The strange craft swept past, so far out that those on board no doubt believed themselves beyond sight from the shore, heading apparently for a point of land, which I vaguely remembered as jutting out to the northward.
