Master Ardlrk, Just reached hls'majorlty nd. thrown upon hli own resources, after tatlng his case to ona Houthwlck, a ship master, la shipped aa second mate on the "Industry" bound for Havana. Mr. Tym, the supercargo, descries a sail. The trance vessel gives chase, but Is disabled by the Industry's nuns. The Industry Is little damaged, but Houthwlck and one of the crew are killed. Bellinger, first mate, takes charge and puts Into Sldmoulh to secure a new mate. Several days later, when well out to sea, an English mer chantman Is met, whose captain hns a let--ter addressed to Jeremiah Hope, at Havana. 'The crew of the vessel tell strange talesof rthe buccaneer Morgan, who Is sailing un- fler the king's commission to take Panama. One night a little later, the English vessel 'having proceeded on her course. Ardlck 'learns of a plot among the crew, headed by Tradey, the new mate, to take the In dustry and Join Morgan's fleet. Ardlck consults Mr. Tym. They resolve to secure the mate, but Pradoy, eavesdropping In the cabin, makes through the door and arouses the crew. Capt. 8e!llnjrer Joins Ardlck and Tym. The crew break through the now barricaded door, but are forced to retire, having lost seven of their number. 8cl llnger la for Immediately falling upon the mutineers, but Tym argues that they are light crew but still more than two to their having lost seven of their number. Find ing themselves now too short-kanded to manage the boat, Pradey dencldes to scut tle and desert the vessel, taking his men oft In the only available boat. The captain, -supercargo and second mate soon discover their plight, but hastily constructing a raft ret away Just before their vessel slniks. The next morning a Spaniard draws near them. The man In the rigging shouts: "If you would board us, take to your oars. Be speedy, or you will fall short." On board they are Bent forward with the crew, being told they will he sold as slaves on reaching Panama. The ship's cook they find to be Mac Irvach, "frae Clagvarloch," o. a friend. Four days later the Spaniard la overhauled by a- buccaneer flying the English flag. The three Englishmen and Mao Irvach plan to escape to the buc caneer on a rude raft. Bellinger, the last to attempt to leave the Spaniard. Is dis abled. Just after the other put off they ee a figure dangling from the yard arm, whom they suppose Is Capt. Bellinger. Hailing the buccaneer, our three friends find themselves In the hands of their old mate, Pradey. He treats them kindly and offers to do them no harm if they will but remain quiet concerning the mullny he headed. The men consider this proposi tion, and Anally conclude to suggest a compromise, vl.: Agree to cover the vil lainy till the end of the expedition. ' CHAPTER XL Continued. The fellow heard it with contracted brows and a lowering look. Instead of answering nt once, he took a turn across the deck,, stopping t moment nt the ether rail, and bowing his head ns in hought. Presently he returned, hi look less harsh and the lines of his aunken mouth relaxed. "Now here is a shrewd trick of bar gaining," he began. "How you must have overhauled your brains to com. pass itl You would make a compact to last to a dot as long as your necks are In danger. Well, well, it may be 11 that I could have expected of you and I will not balk at it. Let us fetch the matter to a head, then. You will swear To "mV'Po 'impart nothing what ever of the matters concerning the mutiny, neither to Morgan nor to any person, till such a time as you shall take ship for England. In return. ehall do you no harm, and shall recom mend you for places in Morgan's com pany or some other. Is this as you would have It?" "Why, yes," said Mr. Tym. who looked little surprised at the ease of the vie tory. i "You ratify this, friends?" Mac Ivrach and I promptly assented "And you swear accordingly ?" went on Pradey. "We do," the three of us replied. "As do I, for my part," he said, with satisfied nod. "Y'ou are now sufe, nd I am free of my complications. Thus all ends well." He smiled blandly, tnd I supposed the interview was over, but Mr. Tym, It seemed, would have 1 question. "What is our present destination?" be inquired. "Chagre," replied Pradey, promptly; "but first I will run a bit to the east ward," he added, "hoping to fall in with a homeward-bound Spaniard. Such a one might deem it a favorable time to slip out of some Cuban port." Mr. Tym thanked him for the infor mation, and we returned to our own parts of .the ship. "It is clear," said I, as soon as ve had1 withdrawn a little andcoultl exchange word In private, "that Pradey has fetched around, as we guessed, lie ha tied our tongues for the present, and before they shall be loosed again means to stop them forever." "Aye, 'tis so, Indeed," replied Mr. Tym, "and we must henceforth be on our guard. lie is dangerous to the limit of his ability." It was now well into the evening. nd as we had settled our plnns and were weary we gave over further dis cussion ami went below. We awoke the next morning much refreshed, and likewise In improved spirits. Our mates of the steerage were all on deck, and we had an op portunity for a little comforting talk. Taking everything Into account, our prospects were not, after all, so very bad. The main question was how to outwit the treacherous andjlangerous rradey. When we reached the deck we found the ship making but a small headway, the wind having much declined. In deed, it soon fell to a calm. We looked vainly for the Pilanca, for she had elean dropped us, nor was any otlmr bit of canvas in sight. Well to th nuth the seaboard w broken, for there we made out wht iust be land, and on Inquiry wers told It was one of the northernmost of the Windward islands. Our course was now due west, nd Lieut. Phibbert told us we were to continue till we raised Cuba. If we -fell in with no prize by that time, he aid, we should stand directly for Chagre. We had an easy voyage across the Caribbean, and finally made the land fall of the isthmus. All was now stir and excitement, for we could not say how matters had gone, nor whether Morgan and his fleet were here before us. It was approaching nightfall as we drew In, and it would be a hard mat ter to determine much without stand ing dangerously near, but Pradey did not II inch. The wind was almost from the north, but he coolly held his course, taking a desperado's chance of getting out again, asd to the Black Eagle drove down till we were within range of the glass. My companions and I (now all armed, and each furnished with serviceable cuirass) stood near t In break of the quarter deck, and watched with eagerness the motions of the lookouts. One fellow was as high as the fore-topg-ullunt yard, and another a little below. The first had a glass. Presently this fellow hailed the deck. "What do you see?" bawled Pradey. "There are seven or eight ships," was the answer, "and all lying well in by the castie," "Are they big?" "It might be that half are of the size of this, and the rest less." "Do you make out much of the castle and the surroundings?" inquired Pra dey. "It looks like a strong place," an swered the sailor. "It tops the bill, and there is some other work at the foot." Pradey talked a little with Phibbert. Presently he went up to sec for him self. At the masthead he stopped and leveled his glass. "There springs up a light," I said, pointing to the now fast-rising crest of the hill. As I spoke two or three more glim mers appeared, but lower down. The short tropic sunset was now over, and comparative durkness was at hand. We stirred not tack nor sheet, but held sturdily on, and at last the out lines of the castle were clear to the un assisted eye. First Pradey and then the lookouts caine down, and Phibbert went aft, and he and the captain talked briefly together. The wind now nbated a lit tle as the light failed, and our speed proportionally slackened. 1 fear he stands fair to fall into a trap," said I, uneasily, to my compan ions. "Will he still hold on?" "I think not much farther," said Mr. Tym, but he spoke with no great tone of confidence. A hulf mile, it might be more, and then Pradey called Phibbert and gave an order. The lieutenant leaped upon a gun. "Ready at the braces!" he roared. The men rushed to obey. The cap tain then signed to the helmsman, and as soon as he had shouted "Helm's a-lee!" the lieutenant followed with the other orders and the ship rode gracefully round. At the right mo ment the yards were ordered, and speedily we were sawing up and down, very comfortably hove to. "Ah, look yonncr!" exclaimed Mac Ivrach, suddenly. lie pointed to a spot 3 H. took soother turn aeroae the dtck.1 a little to the east of the hill. Thore, in a kind of clear space brought out by a glinting streak of the failing night, I saw a small boat. It was moving sea ward, and was already nearly abreast of the ship, "We should tell the captain," I said. "Maybe that will be what he seeks." "Vera wee!," answered the cook. He stepped toward the poop accord ingly, but at that moment Pradey him self made the discovery. Uout ! he sang out, wheeling sharp ly round. "Master Phibbert, cet way on the ship!" fisher, said an old buccaneer near me. "It is the very chance the captain was tarrying for." It seemed so, indeed, and again I be gan to think I hud underrated Tra- dey's sagacity. In a moment the ship was ready to come about. The head sheets were let so. the braces were hnndlcd in their turn nnd the forward yards dime round. I he other orders were quickly com pleted. The ship's head rode gallant ly round, and she was laid fairly for the chase. The wind was too light for much speed, and as the boat had a good start and her haven was near the re sult must ut first be doubtful. "I'll have her if I ground the shin." growled Pradey. He hung over the rail as he spoke and pulled a pistol from his belt. "lioat ahoy!" shouted Pradey. He spoke in Spanish. "Hoard the ship!" bawled back one of the men, "I am going to luff. Fetch up by me." "Yes, senor," answered the same voice. As the ship came into the wind the boot approached the quarter. "What news ashore?" asked Pradey, hurriedly. "Why, senor, the English have taken the castle," answered the man. At this we all broke into a great snout, "The governor and many soldierv J Here killed," went on the man, "and ali of us poor people terribly frightened." "Enough!" cried Pradey. impatient ly. "To the braces, men! Master Ph.'b Uert, lay our course for the castle." At last Pradey gave the word nad oace more the liliick Engle was fetched Into the wind. A cable hnd been pre pared to slip, and one of the anchors was Immediately let go. Sail was clewed up but not furled, nnd when am munition bad been served out to the men and all the cannon prepn-.cd for Instant use we were in case either to fight or to fly. We were near enough to the castle by this time, so that a shot from one of Its heavy guns might reach v, but otherwise there wna no prcseot, risk. Everything hnd been mnnaged as quietly as possible, and there was no hint, Trom nny Rign on shore, that we hnd been perceived. Pradey spoke to the first lieutenant, and one of the quarter boats was low ered. "Take her, lieutenant, pick two men for a crew, and r.ra what you can learn," said Trader, briefly. "Aye, aye, sir, answered Diibbert. "If all is well fire two successive pis tol shots; if we have been cheated, one," pursued Pradey. , Phibbert again assented, and hastily picked out his men and got away. We watched them anxiously ns long ns we could see them, which wus only a few moments, as they speedily entered the shadows of the river s mouth and un der the dark foot of the mountain. It was ngnin a time of trained waiting, but not for long, ns, much before I wus expecting anything, a sharp report and then another cntne out of the ob scurity. The men broke into a tremendous cheer, and instantly the decks awoke to life. The question was settled. The castle was ours. CHAPTER XII. OF THINGS ASHORE. Every one was speedily in the shrouds or hanging over the bulwarks, so eager were all to get the first word of the news. A light came lifting and sinking toward us, nnd we perceived that Phib bert had set off n lanthorn. Tradey thereupon hung two answering lights over the stern. In a moment we made out the dusky shape of the boat and the indistinct, swaying figures of the men nt the oars. Then the light shot up, nnd we saw Phibbert on his feet holding it. "A 11 s well!" he cried ns the boat broke out Into our light "The castle Is ours." Then the men thundered out Into an other cheer, and several excitable one cut two or three steps of a dance. Phibbert and hisboatmencaine gayly up the side, and were immediately beset with a multitude of questions, ".Vow, sir," said Phibbert, turning to Pradey nnd touching his headpiece. have the honor to report. Capt. Rrodely, with 300 men, holds the castle The governor nnd most of his conv mnnd are dead, and we have captured above 50 cannon, six or eight pipes o muskets, the value of 4.000 or 5,000 In treasure, and a goodly store of pro- visions. "Excellent!" cried Pradey In high good humor. "And St. Catherine's- Since Brodely is here, I trow the ehie remnined there which is to sav, he took it?" "He did, indeed, sir," answered Phib bert, "but he is not in a way to remain therelong. Drodcly had dispatched th news to him, and he must soon come. This happy conclusion of the mntter relieved Mr. Tym, Mac Ivrach and me quite as much as it did the rest of the ships company. The fact is our per sonnl nims were not only thereby furthered, but wc felt some little pa triotic pride as well. Lastly, we could not forget that it was cowardly Span ish hands that had run poor Capt. Sel- linger to theyardarm! We did not wait for light the next morning, but a little past three hastily dressed and came on deck. The wind hnd hauled round, blowing very gently now from the shore, nnd we caught the f nil) t land scents, sweet after the long voyage, nnd were well pleased to part for a little with the salt, briny tang. Presently the east yellowed and the sea began to glitter, and as we turned landward a light fog or vapor split away and the embattled top of the mountain broke through. The morning watch began to wash down the decks, as usual, but with many delays and long looks ot the shore, and while they were still at work first one and then another of the watch below appeared. Pradey and Phibbert soon came out. and by the time the sun had his rim fairly above the water three-fourllm of the whole company were on deck. Not to dwell needlessly on detnilB we brought safely In, towing with n barge, after one tack, and soon an chored in a little rearward cove. While we were fetching by the castle men ran out to look at us, and, the news soon spreading, the ramparts were presently shining with armored fig ures, who gave us a hearty cheer of welcome. We found other ships In the berth, lyinjr just in the river edge of It, and their decks were also speedily manned nnd a volley of questions and congratulations poured out. Pradey answered all briefly but good naturedly, but meanwhile gnve his chief nttention (o one Capt. De Bou vard. from whor.i he was learning the chief fncts of the siege and taking of the castle. It seemed that the place was defended by above 300 Spnniards, not counting servants nnd slaves, nnd that a most stubl orn fight was made. Capt. Rrodely begnn the attack with a force of 400. but nt noon on the third day, when the corps du gnrd was final ly carried, his available command numbered only ?H0. The Spaniards were nearly nil killed, the resolute old governor with the rest, and the unhurt remnant managed to descend on the steep landward side and escape. The wounded nnd the greater part of the women were left behind. This was all concluded about noon, two days since, nnd word had forthwith been sent to Morgan. As soon as we were at our berth and all put in order Tradey called for the gig and was set ashore. He was gone somewhat less than an hour, and when he returned rejoiced us all with the news that we could have shore leave. Secure ns the ship was, It was deemed unnecessary to re- ! serve a guard, m that Pradey himself. with the steward, were the only ones nnally left behind. It was a gladsome sensation when 1 finally stepped out upon the solid quay, and I 'hlnk that Mr. Tym and Mac Iv rach were In accord with me. The morning was not yet far advanced, and it Ws.8 but moderately warm, the air was pure and the bky nearly cloudless, and before us was the dark, strong mountain, almost fetching the eye to a little giddiness and yet pleasantly steadfast, while breaking away to the right wns the refreshing green of the forest. We made no talk for a bit, the others of the crew pushing speedily on and leaving us, and it wns only when the last of them were disappearing In the gateway of the lower fort? that we finally started on.
