Instead Of holding to her course
as Don Miguel had fully expected
she would, the Arabella had gone
about under cover of the smoke,
and sailing now in the same direc.
ton as the Milagrosa, was CON
verging sharply under her across
the. wind, so sharply that almost
before the frenzied Don Miguel had
realized the situation, his vessel
staggered under the rending i'm
pact with which the other came
hurtling alongside. There was a
rattle and clank of metal as a
dozen Srapnels fell, and tore and
caught in the timbers Of the Mia
grosa, and the Spaniard was firm
" griDped in the tentacles of the
English ship.
beyond her and now well astern
tn veil of smoke was rent at las.
and the Hidalga was revealed in
desperate case. She was bilging
fast. The attention of her hands
was being entirely given to des-
psrate endeavor to launch the
boats in time.
OF this Don Miguers anguished
eyes had no more than a heeting
but comprehensive glimpse before
his own decks were invaded by a
wild, yelling swarm OF boarders
from the graphing ship. For
moment there was a valiant effort
by some of Don Miguers officers to
rally the men for a stand against
these invaders. But the Spaniards'
hastily formed ranks were smashed
before they could be steadied, driv-
en- across the waist to the break of
the poop on the one side, and up to
the eorecastle bulkheads on the
other, the fighting resolved itself
into q series Of skiGmishes be-
tween groups.
