the Rose thrashed through rolling e a
and overhauled a long c%arayel, too
long, indeed, to maneuyer with the
nImble Rose. Two galleys were also
with her. Victory fell to Amyas, but
a victory which left his ship so bat
tered and his crew so decimated, that
he ran In to a little bay for repairs
and recuperation. Here, with their
culverins and swiyels behind a stock
ade, Don Guzman came upon them, In
force too strong for their shattered
numbers; SC, first burning the Rose,
they turned their back to the sea and
marched inland.
And now came hope Of glory for
their queen and for themselves great
treasure In quest Of the Golden City
in the Kingdom of Manoa, whereof
friendly Indians told them. Through
~untrodden hills and forests they
marched, past the falls of the orinoco
and the upper waters of the great
Amazon, from low swamps to high
plateaus. wherefrom they viewed the
eternal SHOWS of Chimborazo towering
above the thunder cloud and the fiery
cone Of Cotopaxi flaming against the
stars; a region 500 miles In length by
400 miles in width they traversed.
Three years of fever and cold and IA
mine they spent on that trail, and once
n gold pack train loosely guarded fell
TO their hands; but of the Golden City
never a trace.
They came upon a white maiden,
Ayanacora, golden-halred, tall and
beautiful, treated as a princess by the
Indians with whom she dwelt. Amyas
was for leaving her, having witnessed
on former voyages the evil influence
of m among lonely men; but h
by signs made 1t clear she would not
be left. He packed her off. She came
back. and she being by then far from
her habitation he had not the a

Dor of Cartagena. Silently, In TWO
canoes, they made the harbor, and, IL
being night, boarded the galleon Sc
cretIy by her stern gallery; and after
. a short fierce fight the galleon, with
much treasure aboard, fell, into their
hands. 1t was here in this fight that
. Amyas would have been run through

cora. who came leaping from behind
and knitted the Spaniard ere ne could
drive home the long blade. !
But forty of their n hundred re-.

sailed with much content in the great

she made answer; which answers re-
called to Yeo that fair Spanish lady
of Panama who had run on with Gap

the baby girl which was later made
s off with. Captain 0xenham had SUI

but the SCARED old rover had spent
/. DAYS enough with the lovely little girl
to know now, as in a dozen ways

lady, the little girl to whom he had
taught the English sea songs before
