Bishop realized that this meant
the end Of his supreme authority,
even though he should continue
in Port Royal as Deputy-Goyernor.
Lord Julian, in the lack of direct
news to himself, did not know what
it might mean to him. But he had
been very close and confidential
with Colonel Bishop regarding his
hopes Of Arabella, and Colonel
Bishop more than ever, now that
political events put him in danger
of being retired, was anxious to
enjoy the advantages Of having a
man of Lord Julian's eminence for
his relative.
There is one obstacle in our
path" said his lordship. Captain
Blood. The girl is in love with
him"
THE brazen baggage! BY God!
I'll bring her to her senses"
Don't be a fool, Bishop Listen,
man. She has d constant mind.
AS long as Blood lives she viii
wait for him"
"Then with Blood dead, perhaps
she will come to her silly senses"
Now you begin to show intelli-
gence," Lord Julian commended
him. THAT is the first essential
step"
And here is our chance to take
it." Bishop warmed to a sort Of
enthusiasm. This war with France
removes all restrictions in the mat
ter of Tortuga. We are free to in
vest it in the service OF the Crown.
A victory there and we establish
ourselves in the favour of this new
"Ah!" said Lord Julian, and he
pulled thoughtfully at his lip.
Bishop laughed coarsely.
Wen hunt this rascal in his
lair, right under the beard of the
King of France, and wen take him
this time. if we reduce Tortuga to
a heap of ashes"
On that expedition they sailed
two days later-which would be
some three months after Blood's
departure-taking every ship of the
fleet, and several lesser vessels as

CHAPTER XXI
THE SERVICE OF KING LOUIS
Meanwhile, some three months
before Colonel Bishop Sc. out to
reduce Tortuga, Captain Blood,
bearing hell in his soul, had blown
into its rockbound harbour ahead
of the winter gales, and two days
ahead of the frigate in which VOL
verstone had sailed from Port Roy
al day before him.
In that snug anchorage he found
his fleet awaiting him the four
ships which had been separated in
that gale off the Lesser Antilles,
and some seven hundred men com
posing their crews
His captains, Hagthorpe, Chris
tian, and Yberville, were on the
jetty to receive him, and with them
were some hundreds of his buca-
neers. When they plagued him with
questions, he babe them await the
coming of Wolvestone, who would
satisfy their curiosity, and took his
way alone to the fine house of M.
IdOgeron, there to pay his respects
to his friends, the Governor and
the Governors family.
When the Old Wolf cast anchor
in the bay two days later, it was
to him all turned for the explana-
ton they were about to demand of
Blood Now Wolverstone had only
one eye, but he saw deal more
with that one eye than do most
men with two; and he hads the
sound heart OF a boy, and in that
heart much love for Peter Blood.
Anon when ashore he was beset
by questioning buccaneers, it was
from their very questions that he
gathered exactly how matters
stood, and perceived that either
from lack of courage or other mo-
tive Blood, himself, had refused to
render any account of his doings
since the Arabella had separated
from her sister ships.
THE Captain was ever a modest
man." he explained to Hagthorpe
and those others who came crowd
ing round him It's not his way
/ to be sounding his own praises.
Why, it was like this. We fell in
with old Don Miguel, and when
we'd scuttled him we took aboard

GUARD" FL0T|LLA
R0UTS RUM FLEET
New Squadron, Recently Au-

Under command of two high Of

first major offensive of the new Z. S.

Although modest accounts of the
battle which has been waged off the

within the past two weeks were avail

was learned from other advices in
the North that the rum fleet, terror
stricken by the swoop of the ifew
