In answer, the half-caste pointed
out beyond the frothing surf that
marked the position of the reef
constituting one of the stronghold's
main defenses. Away beyond it, a
mile or so distant, sail was stand
ing out to sea.
"There she CO." he said.
The Frenchman gazed and stared.
The half-caste shrank terrified be-
fore his fury. "Then up anchor.
and let US after the Dutchman," he
eried.
STEADY, captain. What's that?''
There was restraining hand upon
mis- shoulder, and the broad face Of
his lieutenant Cahusac, a bur1y, cal
ious Breton scoundrel, was stolidly
confronting him. "a Dutch brig!"
said he, . Impossible! We should
never be allowed"
"And who the devil will deny

"But it is necessary that you
should. He has the power. the

J know him at all, he'll sink us be-
fore he'll suffer interference with
the Dutch. He has his own views

ps I warned you"
Cursing in his soul, and even bel
Core the anchor was weighed, the
association into which he had en-
tered, he was already studying
ways of evasion. What Cahusao
Implied was true: Blood would
never suffer violence to be done in
his presence to a Dutchman. But
1t might be done in his absence;
and, being done, Blood must per-
force condone 1t, since 1t would
then be too late to protest.
Within the hour the Arabella and
la Foudre were beating out to sea
together. Without understanding
abe change Of plan involved, Cap
lain Blood, nevertheless, accepted
1t, and weighed anchor before the
appointed time upon perceiving his
associate to do so.
All day the Dutch brig was n
sight, though by evening she had
dwindled to the merest speck on
the northern horizon. The course
prescribed for Blood and Levasseur
lay eastward along the northern
chores of Hispaniola. To that
course the Arabella continued to
hold steadily throughout the night.
When day broke agais she was
alone. La Foudrs under cover Of

Real Dangers of
Cross Country Touring

(By q. Clark Mather, Chief Ensi-
neer. Paige-Detroit Motor Car
Company
The driver who spends q great
deal Of time in long distance driving
Is very careful and considerable Of
others on the road, knowing that
unless he is that the other drivers
will suffer the same as he often does,
because Of some discourtesy on the
part OF an approaching or parked
motor cars driver.
Perhaps the most annoying and
even dangerous at times conditions
met with when driving cross-coun-
try are improper focusing of lamps.
flashing on and off OF DINNERS and
bright lights, driving on the wrong
side OF the road, parking on con-
crete paving, especially at turns or
on the peak of hill.
Parking at turns and on top Of
hills Is very common, especially
through the mountains where it is
the most dangerous. Tourists are
attracted by a beautiful view off in
the distance somewhere and with
absolute lack Of consideration for
other drivers. stop right at the peak
or just around a turn where they
cannot be seen for more than a few
yards ahead.
Let me suggest that should you
see beautiful spot you wish to en-
joy that you drive clear off the road
way or onto a stretch where your
automobile may be seen for several
hundred yards by an approaching
motorist.
1t would be a case of playing with
suicide should such stops be made
at night
Improper focusing Of lights Of the
approaching motorist might easily
cause it.
Lamps that have their bulbs TO-
cused properly and their beams d.
rected improperly are as annoying
as the others. When setting lamps
in their proper focus It Is a good
idea to have somewhere near the
load in the car that YOU expect to
carry on the trip. Tilt the head
lamps as far down as you can and
still have good driving light. When
satisfied that the lamp bulb is TO-
cused the best possible. drive out on
a dark road. get out and walk down
several hundred feet ahead OF your

car. II the lights glare they will
have the same effect on the driver
of an approaching car. Tilt your
lights a little lower and, feel that you
are being considerate Of the other
people driving on the road.
A number OF states do not require
that you use DINNERS. It IL the Gus
tom to leave the bright lights on
both when passing other vehicles on
the open highway or in the city.
Just because you dc not happen to
be accustomed to driving under
these conditions, do not flash your
lights. The sudden glare on and
of In more binding than the steady
beam you are forced to face. The
practice of flashing lights quite often
causes serious accidents.
1t IL well 70 have few fuses along
in case your lights blow out, in ad-
dition to ten or twelve feet of No.
IA gauge wire and full set of lamp
bulbs. A few spare parts. according
to what your past experience with
car has been are as handy AZ a rear
view mirror. Small town garages
don't often have q complete line Of
parts.
II driving for the first time in hilly
country. never attempt to pass an
other car that Is approaching the
peak Of a hill, and never get on the
wrong side of the road when max
ing turn. If your car is faster
than other cars on the hills, do not
attempt to pass another car on the
wrong side of the road when ap-
preaching a turn. This is the point
where most collisions occur. The
safest rule is not to drive your car
into any place on the road where
you cannot see where you are going.
In closing, we might also add that
many drivers are thoushtless of 9TH
ers that use the road. We should all
try to remember that our place is on
the extreme right of the road. thus
leaving at all times, room for fast
er moving vehicle to pass in the
center OF the road. Immediately at
ter passing another car always pull
over to the front of it so that the
road will be as clear for someone
that Is a bigger hurry than YOU are.
