 "It's myself he's hunting at Tor tuga, my lord," said Blood. "But, I'm thinking that while he's about it, I'd best be looking after Jamaica for King William" He laughed, with more mirth than he had used in the last two months. Set q course, Port Royal, Jeremy, and make all speed. Wen be level yet with NJ. de Rivarol, and wipe off some other score at the same time."
 But you are not equal to it, damme Y cried his lordship. Any one of the Frenchman's three ships is a match for both yours, my man."
 "In guns-aye," said Blood, and he smiled. But there's more than guns that matter in these affairs. If your lordship. would like to see an action fought at sea as an action should be fought, this is your opportunity"
 "Riyarol carried in his hold the treas ure plnndered from Cartagena, amount ing to forty million livres. He has gone into Port Royal with it. Whether he defeats me or not, he doesn't come out of Port Royal with it again, and soon CT or later that treasure shall find its way into King Williams coffers. after say, one-fifth share shall have been paid to my buccaneers. Is that agreed Lord WilloughbyT"
 His lordship stood up, and shaking back the clouds of lace from his wrist held out delicate white hand.
 Captain Blood, discover great ness in you." said he.
 Sure, it's your lordship has the fine sight to perceive It, laughed the Cap tain. tS9A

place to the Elizabeth, which, follow ing closely, executed the same manoeu- yre. And then whilst still the French men were confused, panic-stricken by an attack that took them so utterly by surprise, the Arabella had gone about, and was returning in her tracks, pre- senting now her starboard guns, and loosing her second broadside in the wake of the first. Came yet another broadside from the Elizabeth and then the Arabella's trumpeter sent call across the water, which Hagthorpe per fectly understood,
 "On, now Jeremyr' cried. Blood. "Stand by, there! Prepare to board Hapton the grapnels!' Brisk ly he explained himself to his two guests. Boarding is our only chance here. We are too heavily outgnnned." Of this the fullest demonstration fol- lowed quickly. The Frenchmen having recovered their wits at last, both ships swung broadside on, and concentrating upon the Arabella as the nearer and heavier and therefore more immediately dangerous of their two opponents, vol leyed upon her jointly at almost the same moment. The Arabella rocked and staggered under that terrific ham mering. For a moment she seemed to hesitate, then she plunged forward with a gaping hole forward, that was only just above the water line. Mean while, the Frenchmen going about, gave the like reception to the Elizabeth. The Arabella, indifferently served by the wind, pressed forward to come to grips.

But before she could accomplish her ob. feet. the Victorieuse had loaded her starboard guns again, and pounded her advancing enemy with second broad. side at close quarters. Amid the thun. der of the cannon, the rending of tim bers, and the screams of maimed men the half-wrecked Arabella plunged and reeled into the cloud of smoke that con cealed her prey, and then from Hay ton went up the cry that she was going down by the head. The blue and gold flank of the Victorieuse loomed through the smoke. But even as Blood caught that enheartening glimpse he perceived too, how sluggish now was their ad' vance. They must sink before they reached her. But they had not yet com. pletely failed. Hayton himself score of sturdy rogues whom his whistle had summoned. were crouching for shelter amid the wreckage of the forecastle with grapnels ready. Within seven or eight yards of the Victorieuse, when their way seemed spent. and their forward deck already awash under the, eyes oi the jeering, cheering Frenchmen, those men leaptl up and forward, and hurled their grapnels across the chasm. Of the IOuF they IiuDSy LbO EcdCucu tuC F EChSh mans decks, and fastened there. Un hesitatingly all threw themselves upon the chain of one of those grapnels, neg lecting the other? and heaved upon il with all their might to warp the ships together. Blood sent out his voice ir a clarion call:
 "Musketeers to the prov"
 Fifty of them dashed forward in stantly, and from the ruins of the fore castle they blazed over the heads ot Hayton's men, moving down the French soldiers who, unable to dislodge tn, irons, firmly held where they had deep ly bitten into the timbers of the Vic torieuse, were themselves preparing tt fire upon the grapnel crew.
 Starboard to starboard the two shipi swung against each other with jarrint thud. The advance guard of boarders hundred. strong, were ordered to tin poop, grapnel-men~ were posted, ant prompt to obey Blood's command at thu very moment of impact. As a result, ths laundering Arabella was literally kep afloat by the half-dozen grapnels that

lenders of Port Royal. That long, in- active waiting was straining the nerves of both Lord Willoughby and van der Kuylen. Blood faced them, smiling con- fidently. Its this way, now; there's nothing at all to be gained by precipit- ancy, and deal to be gained by delay ing, as I shall show you, hope. Sure it'll be time enough to go forward when the fort has shot it's bolt "He broke off to listen. Aye, was right The fires slackenjng. Ho there Jeremy!'
 Came the padding of feet along the decks, the creaking of blocks and the hoisting of sail. The helm was put over hard, and in a moment they were moving, the Elizabeth following, ever in obedience to the signals frL.L the Arabella, whilst Ogle the gunner, whom he had summoned, was receiving Blood's final instructions before plunging down to his station on the main deck.
 Within a quarter of an hour they had rounded the head and stood in tho harbor mouth, within saker shot ol Rivarol's three ships, to which they now abruptly disclosed themselves.
 Where the fort had stood they now beheld a smoking rubbish head, ant the victorious Frenchman with the lily standard trailing from Lis mastheadi was sweeping forward to snatch thu rich prize whose defences he had shat tered.
 Blood scanned the French ships, ant chuckled. The Victorieuse and tn, Medusa appeared to have taken no more tban few scars; but the third ship the Baleine, listing heavily to larboarC so as to keep the great gasb in hel seaboard well above water, was out oi account.
 The sight of that great red ship witl her gilt beak-head and open port! swinging broadside on must have giver check to Rivarol's soaring exultation Yet before he could move to give ar order, before he could we'll resolve wha order to give, volcano of fire ant metal burst upon him from the buc cancers, and his decks were swept b, the murderous scythe of the broadside The Arabella held to her course, givin

''The anger of the Lord was kindied against them.' Numbers 12:0. Whole nations have known His anger And fallen under His sword; And the evil-doer will tremble

in an instant moored her firmly to the Victorieuse.
 Led now by Blood himself, they launched themselves upon the French like hounds upon the stag they have brought to bay. For fully half-an-hour that battle ragged aboard the French man. The French resisted stubbornly, and they had the advantage Of num- bers to encourage them. But for all their stubborn valor, they ended. by be- ing pressed back and back across the decks that were dangerously canted to starboard by the pull of the watef-log- ged Arabella. The buccaneers fought with the desperate fury of men who know that retreat is impossible, for there was no ship to which they could retreat, and here they must prevail and make the victorieuse their own, or perish.

 It was the afternoon of that same day, and two buccaneer ships rocked gently with idly Tapping sails under the lee of the long spit of land form ing the great natural harbor of Port Royal, and less than a mile from the straits leading into it, which the fort commanded. It was two hours and more since they had brought up there abouts, having crept thither unobserved by the city and NJ. de Rivarol's ships, and all the time the air had been aquiver with the roar of guns from sea and land, announcing that battle was joined between the French and the de-

BUTLER MAY. LOSE JOB AS DIRECTOR
 OF POLICE FORCE
Fighting Marine Is Out Of Harmony With
 Politicians

PHILADELPHIA, July 21.-A showdown on whether Smedley B. Butler will be fired" from the cabinet of Mayor Kendrick as director of public safety for Philadelphia is expected soon The brigadier general of the marine SrOps, "Ioaneds to Philadelphia by President Coolidge for one year, so the fighting Quaker could clean up vice, crime and liquor here, will confer with Kendrick as to his status. The two officials are no longer of one mind as to police procedure. As a result Butler, it is understood, will not be retained as head of the safety department after his leave expires on January 5, 1925 and he may even be asked to resign his post at once.
 Politicians, it is said, have brought pressure to bear on Kendrick in an at- tempt to get the mayor to dispense with the services of the marine general police chief.
 Butler is accused of being "Out of harmony" with the administration and with political leaders. This accusation came when the director began re-dis- tricting police stations to kill political control of the police department.
 With the sword of dismissal hanging ove- his head, Butler today continued his work of re-districting police sta fions

NEWPORT, R. l., July 21.-(By Associated Press )-The loss of four passengers in a collision early today between the passenger liner Boston of the Eastern Steamship Lines Boston New York service and the Swift Arrow, a tanker, two and one-half miles south east of Point Judith early today was reported in radiograms.
 It was stated that all the other pas sengers, who may number from 100 to 900, were off the stricken steamship. The Boston was without lights, without steam and unable to use her signal whistle.
 Although the first messages said that the Priscilla, a Fall River liner, was involved, later messages established the identity of the vessel that rammed the Boston as the Swift Arrow, tanker, bound for San Francisco from Fall River, Mass.
 It was stated that the Boston was leaking badly, and that the Swift Ar row was standing by, whistling for help. The messages containing word of the loss of four lives indicated that they were passengers on the Boston. The naval tugs Teal, Rail and Bobolink were sent out from here, and the coast

DEMOCRATS WILL CENTER ON WEST DURING CAMP PAIGN
Republicans, On Other Hand, Will Not Sec
 tiOnalize
By THOMAS L. STOKES (By Leased Wire To Age-Herald)

WASHINGTON, July 21.-Despite the nomination of Senator Burton K. Wheeler of Montana, q democrat, as 8 running, mate for Senator LaFollette I@xnseted to have its influeRee in eer' tain sections of the west and north west, the democrats still intend to make that region their battle-ground in the coming campaign.
 The republicans, on the other hand, do not intend to centrali2e their ef- forts in any sections, but will conduct a nationwide campaign, according to William NJ. Butler, chairman of the republican national committee, who an- nounced after conference with Presi- dent Coolidge, that organization for the campaign had been completed.
 These were the principal develop ments in the presidential situation MOn- day, growing out of the Reflection of Wheeler, on one hand, and the recent activity of Butler, through series of conferences, on the other.
 "The presidential campaign will be nationwide" Butler declared ill a statement. We do not propose ito seek support in one section of the coun- try through concentrated and obvious effort, and to try to gain it in another section by silence and evasion of is- sues.
 West To Decide
 "We have a party platform and a presidential ticket that make it possi- ble to conduct a campaign everywhere in the open, as energetically in one part of the country as in another, and to present cur cause with tie utmost frankness."
 The demqcrats, of course, will also carry their campaign to all sections of the country, but with special em- phasis on the west and northwest, real izing that the result may be decided there. It was made known Monday that they do not intend to let the pres ence of Wheeler on the progressive ticket deter them, though it is realized that the aggressive Montana senator has many friends there.
 The democrats are depending on the nature of the appeal they intend to carry to those sections, through John ". DdNlS ululScll anu thAOuSA CAdtASS w. Bryan of Nebraska. It is going to be "middle-of-the-road' appeal, not so advanced as that of LaFollette, and far from the conservatism of Cool idge, but Liberal"
 Buffers statement means that the republicans do not intend. either, to abandon the northwest, as had been indicated might be done. It also is designed to tone down reports that the republicans would center their activ- ity in the industrial sections. The re- publican campaign manager takes a yelled slap at the leaders of the two other political movements.
 G. o. P. Attitude
 "The republican managers are fully alive to the problems which are con sidered local to certain sections of the country" he says, land we are pre- pared to meet them. But we will not meet them in any sectional way. The economic or social distress of any part of the country is matter of national concern, and that is the principal upon which we will conduct our campaign" "
