h CHAPTER XL
i FIGHOTING POl THI BOOTY.
u I took no heed whether he sank or swam,
OT indeed so much as cast a glance after
bhi, but turning quickly on my heel
pieked-ip- asyerimsen sword, wiping it
roughly on a Odl of rope that lay handy.
Then, making my best salaam to thepirate
leader, and speaking as well as a blown
man might, I said: "You have graciously
grnnted my prayer and the satisfaction for
which my soul yeahuecl; in token of sutb
Smission and gratitude I now sheathe my
sword in sight of all." And s.lting the
action to the word, I shot the weapon into
its steel scablbard with a clash that could
be heard all over the ship. Thechief bowed
grimly in return, but without speaking a
word; then, courtesies being at an end, he
gave the command and the looting began.
Ieaning against the companion head, I
watched the wild rush and scuffle for a
minute, but heinggreatly hustleal and but
feted and feeling faint besides, I tottered
toasecludal corner, where I sank with a
reeling sensation on the deck. Huddled
there pretty much like a bundle of discard
ed clothes, I mopped myeface and 'ried to:
discover'the sources of the many streams
of blood that seemed to ooze and trickle
all over my body. There was perhaps no
great effort made to stanch th be flow, for I
was far enough gone to be careless. What
did it matter? Might I not quietly pant
out my life there and bedone with It? And
even while the thought was in my mind
the brightness of the sun was suddenly
overcast as by the duskiness of death, and
the clamor of the robbers died away in my
ears
I suppose I must have been some time in
this stateof collapse when the brig gratedal
harshly on the bottom, careened slightly,
lurched and lay over, fast aground. 'l'ho
queer grating sensation, as of the pricking~
of a million small fins, aroused me, and I
staggered half awake to my feet. The first
thing I saw was Abram ben Aden being
hauled dripping by two men into a boat.
I rubbed my eyes, wondering how he came
to be in need of help or to have companions
to render it, and finding no answer called
out as lustily as I could: "Hellol What'a
the matter there?"
He heard and looked up. Atsghbt of me
the Are of hell s anguew into bhis black
vengeful scowl. Then my wandering wits
began to return, bringing a remembrance
of what bad happened.
I should have fallen into the sea but for
the support of the bulwark. in a dizzying
turmoil of feelings I laid hold, with trem- I
bling hands, to keep myself up, my eyes
fast on the distorted face of Abram ben
Aden.
"Godl man, are ye much hurt?" I asked,
scarcely knowing wh'at I said. "We're a,
pair of fools," I added, laughing and cry
Stogether.
ut either he did not hear me or he was
beyond speech, for be only cast a look as if
to say he wished he had my heart out, and
slipped into the boat, which hid him from
my view.
I was fain to sit down again, my back
propped against the vessel's side, and
breathe myself. The commotion of spirit
brought a fresh gush of blood, which
bathed back and chest in a warm stream.
Yet what I hal just seen occupied me more
than my wounds, Indeed, forgetti.7 both
them and the evil storm cloud on Abram
ben Aden's countenance, I felt only an all
pervading jpy at seeing him alive again.
Fornow, beung pat thoughts of vengeance
and much too weak to have heart fobt
dlaughter, I realiwl in some nmeasure what
adisquieting thing it is to face the great
last reckoping with the blood of a fellow
agature on your head.
I hoped that the man whom I had ad
lately and so desperately striven to kid
might live, even were it only to finish me.
And I sure I should have smiled inanely,
who knows but I may have beamed in wel*
come, if' he had suddenly appeared, sword
In hand, and Intimated that my time was
come. No doubt my mood of Chrintia n
meekness and charity was due to the cir
emnustance that nature wa perilously sne
yieldinog in any ea I slunspect the worsti
of re piomms when lackingl the pith to
be anything elas
SReviving a little presently. I began tad
tlink of my own life (sdince Do one else
seemed to desie it specially just then) iand
eteld all my arscal skill nd oIngenauity.
They were not much, and they were left
aIded i;tying ther lan the midst of a
Srmdio oneJoU quinred about my hurts; n a
gaeffered help: no one, in fact, cared a
tar' whether I livedt or dIe. The plun d
def wemat on with much nois and not a
little quarrmling, andm if the plunderern
ammnemit was only to eunre at me tot
h atgIn the way.
P sr t ohey muld not have adopted
more ~t means of dispelling may

literal or metaphoriesIl, is the very bet a
tonle that can be administmerd. The roaui,
ehavlor ot the pirate prickdl ae to a rig, a
mous self Intmvet that no procm of sooth,

vage oaths and avager looks were to my
spirit what the gldatone,ls to the kuife
they turned tiesamsne and dullnem to ad
activity that bad an edge of anger add i
some possMibilty of srtaliatlon. The Arls
esult of this anw toun energy as the
t' re."··t thst to erouech thee and bleed W
death was u~st astiredly not tbhe part of a
man. So watching my opportnity, for I he
conpanionway was mostly blockled with
thietes, I went below to finish my dretssing.

more wonderful still that having succedede
so far be had not succeeded farther.
Returning on deck presently, swathed in
bandkereblet's and stray pieces of cloth, and
e I t gtbefied by 20 grains of Mr. Watson's
quinine, I discovered we were within
Ssight of land. A stretch of shallow, blue
green water ran away to a sandy beach that
n ended abruptly in iron cliffs, which aug.
y gested hardness and barrenness beyon:l.
"What is the landt" I asked one of the
corsairs, pointing shoreward.
y "Thou shalt know soon enough," he
s snarled, and concluding that perhaps the
fellow was right I put no more questions.
d Meanwhile the unloading of the brig
went on apace. A score of small boats lay
a round her to receive the plnuder, and some
e 80 or 40 men swore on her decks and ray
. aged her hold. They quarreled inceanta .
ly, shouting, pushing, kicking, brandish
a lng knives and cntlasses and pouring out
curdling maledictions and threats that to a
Sless fervid race could mean nothing short
a of an instant intention to revel in blood,
d but never staying the main operations to
settle personal disputes.
0 Islam has a Koran which straitly forbids
a thieving, yet the Arab is by instinct and
e example a thief. A pattern of piety when
there happens to be no chance of profitable
roguery, saintly in his observances of pre
t scribed ceremonials inside a mosque or
t when he has leisure for prayers outside, a
3 loud talkerabout the duty of obedience to
I God and the prophet, he is the very flower
r of brigands and bandits when he can se
curely lay hands on another nman's goods.
i Nor does he heed discipline nore than re
ligion, for whatever deference he may pro
fess for authority pillage transforms him
into a rebel.
I No sooner had the band about me got to
work than it was a bowling, disorganized
mob, regardless alike of leader, order and
unity of interest.
Civilization teaches the value of concert
ed action. The barb Trian lacks the art to
understand the use of comlduation in
crime. The art and policy of a judicious
division of spoils are beyond him. Conue.
quently in that scene of clamorous conten
tioon each rogue simply seised and made off
with what he could gather, defending his
booty with tooth and claw after the man
r. Standing idly by I took a grhim i
light in noting how they thwarted and hin
dered themselves and what time and eu
ergy they devoted to bootless cuffling.
As the cargo diminished the struggle
grew hotter and the hubbub louder. Curses
and recriminations rose shrill and fierce.
faces were black and swollen with avarice,
eyes ablaze with anger, and I really
thought the thing would end in a floodl of
gore.
o "Wouldst thou have all, O son of a dog,
and leave none to me?" "I will let thy life
out ere parting with an ounce weight to
thee." "May Azrael Ithe angel of deathj
seize thee and drag thee to perdition, thou
foul thief." "Calamity make thy leg bare."
"May scorpions eat thy heart out, thou utn
Just man." "Malec (the keeper of hadese
have thee eternally in his keeping." "Slay
thy hands rot for their greediness, 0 nmat
wicked of robbers." "Mayest thou seethe
in the fiery food," such were some of the
1cries with which the pillagers carried on t
their scramble.
In the midst of the strife, when the to
mult was at its height and the company No
intent on clutching and tearing from each
other that they had no eyes for anything
else, suddenly there rang out astartled cry
that sent burdens rolling on the deck and i
hands gripping in girdles for pistol or blade.
"Enemy, euemyl" yelled a man who i
chanced to look out to sea, andsure enough
there, less than a tenth of a league off, were i
two large boats full of men coming swiftly i
toward us under the combined ipulsionu
of sail and oar. Pernaps a sixth of a league t
beyond these rode at sanchor a vewel of I
strange rig and build, from which it we s
plain they had come.
The crew on board the Bird of Paradim _
acted with the valor of surprised thieves d
Evidently of the mind that half a loaf L.
better than no bread, many of them leapec
into the boats alouigide and tried to make I
off with what booty they had managed -
seure. But before they could get awac
sthe strangers were smong them, and In a t
twlnkllng half the iboata were floating keel *

The fellown in the water splauttered, tel I

M endles variety of incident. and no blotxt
e nbed that I could see to mar the enjoy

By degrees the combatants drew away
ý. from me, for besides the tendency of such
t a batt e tospread theebbingtmde wascarry
a ing the uare. out to sea, making it neceg
t sary to follow them. It was clear the last
, omrners were getting most of the spoil. A
o few of the others. dodging and watching
their chance, managed to make off, carry
a ing freight for ballast, but the frequent
1 trips to and fro between the center of war
i and the anchored ship told where most of
a the plunder was going.
There are no reapers with a tithe of the
r energy and speed of pirates. In spite of the
a time wasted in useless contention, in spite
D of races.' captures, somersaults and the
r thousand and one egregious hindrances,
indulged in as might almost appear from a
spirit of sheer frivolity, the harvest was
quickly gathered, and very soon the only
oating objects to be seen were the ship
a with her Ibts nearat hand and in thedis
tance other boats running for life with the
i tide.
i As the diversion declined my mind nata
I rally reverted to my own miserable condi
tion. What was to become of me? Was I
to be left to my own devices with a strand
ed ship and no commons? And if so, what
should I dot Should I make nmy way
ashore and risk the savageness of man auc
beast or remain on the brig to await de
velopmentaf
While I was thus thinking and debating,
a boat put off from the pirate ship and came
