shared with their captors. They were
moored AS before to a palm tree, by
a rope having q play Of two or three
feet, and their hands unbound while
they made a hasty breakfast under
the eye Of a watchful sentinel. Then
their wrists were tied again, not pain
fully, but with . firmness which made
any slipping Of their bonds impossible.
While the pirates were breakfasting
a spirited dispute took place among
them as to who should go to the treas

guard the prisoners. Sllnker and
Horny urged with justice that, as they

of the golden coins intoxicated them.
They played with the doubloons like
children, jlngllng them In their cal
loused palms, guessing at weight and
value, calculating their equivalent In
the Joy OF living. Laughter and oaths
resounded.
And now the night that ! unutter-
ably dreaded was upon us. But the
pirates still thought OF nothing but the
gold. They had exhausted their W
portable supplies of liquor. and were
loud In their denuncIatlons OF our bone
dry camp, as they termed II.
II was Tony who intercepted a ten
tatlye movement OF Capt. Magnus In
my direction, and ordered me into the
cabin with my aunt and Miss Browne.
Through the walls OF the hut we heard
loud and eager talk of the morrow and
It's certain golden harvest as the pi-
rates made their dispositions for the
night. Then the voices trailed on
sleeplly and silence succeeded, broken
only by the c~easeless murmur of the
waves around the island.
