A SURPRISE AT SEA
p <
?C tOriginaLJ
- It was evening in the West "Indies.
On a pier overlooking the ocean nearly
tbe whole population of the town of D.
were lounging, tbe men smoking, tbe
women gossiping and watching the
? children who were romping on the
heavy planks. One young fellow, a fine
specimen of a man, woe walking back
| and forth, alternately taking bis pipe
- from his mouth and putting it back to
give a succession of rapid puffs.
"Ned Obamberlln seems uneasy this
? evening."
"He's expecting Rose Bickford from
Havana?they're engaged, you know?
and that villainous picaroon, tbe Mar
guerita, has been reported scurrying
about beyond the point there."
.. At tbe moment a sloop rounded tbe
point mentioned and bore steadily up
to the wharf. When- within hearing
1 ' distance, her master shouted:
'The Marguerita Is chasing the Inez.
| We left them ten miles out both be
calmed. We caught a breeze three
miles this side of them and got away."
All looked at Chamberlln, for all
knew that the girl he loved either hud
fallen or would doubtless soon fall Into
the hands of thj pirate. He snt down
on the top of one or the projecting
spiles of the pier and covered his face
with bis hands. His neighbors thought
that be was giving way to his feelings.
This was not true?at least not for
long. lie wato forming a plan to save
the Inez.
In another hour the Alice, the sloop
that bad brought tbe news, sailed away
under command of Ned Chnmberllu.
The moon. slightly past the full, cnine
up out of the water, Illuminating all
within the circle of the horizon. The
breezo began to dlo away and hid fair
to cease altogether. This gave tbe hope
that the picaroon bad not been able to
movo against the Inez. The Alice with
in another two hours was becalmed,
but not before Ned Chamberlin saw on
the horizon two ships Id the doldrums
whlcb he strongly suspected were the
ones he sought. Ordering half a dozen
men to man a boat, ha sent them ahead
to tow the sloop and while It was still
night placed her between the becalmed
ships.
At the first gray light In the east the
young captain brought his glass to bear
ilrst on one, then tbe other, of his neigh
bors and soon made up his mind that
the one on hlB port was the Inez, the
other the Margucrlta. Breathing a slgb
of relief, he leaned against the ta(Trull,
folded his arms and waited.
What was be waiting for? There was
not a gun on his. deck nor protruding
from portholes below, but linlf a down
men were visible, anil they were loung
ing- about apparently waiting for a
breeze. When the sun came up. there
was a stirring aboard the picaroon,
while the crew of the Inez raised every
sail to be ready to take advantage of
the first morning breeze. Vain hope!
No breeze came. Presently the pica
roon assunu-il the npixiarnuce of a dad
dy longlegs. sweeps being thrust from
her sides, nnd she began to move. Ned.
Cbamberlln's only hope was thut nbe
would stop by the way In her Journey
toward (he Inez to take the sloop. In
this he was not disappointed. The Mar
guerlta wus obliged to make a slight
angle to reach the sloop, and when Ned
saw that she was heading directly to
ward him he seized a basket standing
on the deck and climbed the ratlines.
On emme tbe pirate, her captain doubt
less laughing In his sleeve at tbe fool
wbo hud pulled directly In his wuy dur
ing tbe night.
Ned Chamberlin kept his eye fixed on
{ tbe picaroon, and when he saw tbe
grappling Irons fixed to the port side
be concluded that they were making
ready to board on his starboard. Call
ing to the men on the deck below, he
ordered them to swing tbe gaff on
which be stood to the starboard nnd
lash It When the pirate came to with
in fifty feet and was slowly rounding
toward the sloop, Ned ran out to tho
peak nod. holding on to n lino with bis
left band. began to Bwlug with bis
rislit u tuill un the end of a rope In cir
cles about Ills bead. Presently letting
go the rope, It slipped tliroUKh his fin
gers, mid the globe landed on the pi
rate's deck. There was an explosion,
the deck was ripped to pieces, and
three-quarters of the men on It wero
blown to atoms. Tbe shock dislodged
Cbamberlln, who fell, fortunately es
caping the side, into tbe water, whence
he was dragged back on to bla vessel.
The batches of the sloop were opened,
and out ruihed fifty men armed with
rifles and cutlasses, with the former of
which they shot every living man on
the picaroon.
On tbe Ioex the captain, tbe crow
and the pasaengers watched tbe Mar
guerlta approach tbe sloop, not doubt
ing that the latter would fall an cosy
prey and that they would aoon see bor
crew walking the plank, after which
the pirates would turn their attention
to tlie Ium. There was scarcely n
weapon aboard, and the ship rolled
helplessly In tbe long swells. Suddenly
there wa8 a boom, mid a cloud of
smoke shot up from among the two
vessels?the; could not at first tell
from which, but presently saw that
tbe sloop was unharmed, while tbe
waist of the pirate showed a great gap.
Puffs of Binoke appeared on tbe
sloop's deck, growing less frequent till
then, they began to reallie that they
bad been aaved, and a wild cheer went
up. which waa answered by the men on
the sloop.
A few minutes later a boat left the
aide of the victor and headed for the

Tlie attraction of a uiuu't character

of Ills body, and tbe power of love
