In the intensity Of my feelings j

Except to render the sloop com.

malned little work for us to perform

early evening undisturbed smoking and
talking together So the time passed

midnight before we brought out blan-
kets from the forecastle and lay down

Ing of slumber, and perchance urged
by some premonition Of danger, l

aft.
My startled eyes caught a glimpse
of a 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

a discussion going on about the crows

in our cOrnheld became so used to our
regular scarecrow that they grew
quite fond of him. And they used to
bring him grains Of corn and deposit
them in his pockets and corncob pipe.
1t was quite a beautiful and heart

colonel flicked a sentimental tear from
his eyeglass.
"Well, l conceived the idea OF max

crows and chase them away, donche-

What, then, does he really look
likeY
"Oh, a sorter swashbucklin' Spanish
don-the kind whut likes ter dress up
an play the dandy. He's got a pink
an white complexion, the Castillan
kind, yer know, an wears a little mus
taChe, waxed up at the ends. / heard
he wus about forty-five; 1 reckon he
must be thet, but he didn't look older
than thirty"
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 l first went to sea. While
only one among many operating In
those haunted waters his resOurceful-
ness, daring and cruelty had won him
an infamous reputation, name of
horror. In those days, when the curse
OF piracy made the sea a terror no
ordinary man could ever have sue
ceeded in attaining such supremacy
in crime.
Black Sanchez-and Haley pictured
him as a dandlfied, ordinary appear
ing individual, with white and red
complexion, a small mustacho and
flashing dark eyes-a mere Spanish
gallant, without special distinction.
Why, that description, strangely
enough, fitted almost exactly this 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
laughed at myself and dismissed the
crazy thought. Chuckling over 1t l
finally fell asleep.

extensive wash tapped in the wind

A moment later my eyes made out the
name painted across the stern-Na-
muir of Rotterdam.
Fairfax leaned far out across the
rail as we swept in closer, but the
Spaniard exhibited no particular in
terest in the proceedings. A hundred
feet distant 1 held the dancing sloop
to mere steerage-way, while Fairfax
hailed.

thrust his head up above the after
rail and answered. using English, yet
with a faint accent which was not

Where l leaned alone against the
rail my eyes followed the Spaniard In
doubt and questioning, nor could l
entirely Danish from mind Haley's de-
scripuon OF that buccaneer bearing u
similar name. Yet, in spite Of my un-
conscious desire to connect THESE two
together. found II simply impossible
to associate this rather soft-spoken, ef-
Terminate dandy with that bloody vii
lain.
II was already quite dusk when we
finally drew in beside Travers' wharf

In spite of my efforts the two YES

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
lyleT he asked finally. "I believe that
fellow lied"
