He was to discover the whereabouts and con dition of Rose if he could, but surely to damage to his utmost what Spani ards he should fall afoul of. A com mission to his liking, for it was an article of faith with Amyas, as with most young English rovers of that day, that all Spaniards were cruel and cow ardly, even as his own great Queen Elizabeth was all white purity. With Amyas went Frank, his brother, scholar and courtier, and mad like wise for love of Rose Salteme; also Salvation Yeo, his own Oaptain Oxen ham being long dead Westward they sailed to tropic shores; to low wooded hills, spangled by fireflies; westward through won drous seas where islands and capes hnng suspended In air.

Victory fell to Arnyas, but a victory which left his ship so bat tered and his crew so decimated, that he ran in to a little bay for repairs and recuperation. Here, with their culverins and swivels behind a stock nde, Don Guzman came upon them. In , force too strong for their shattered | numbers; so, first, burning the Rose, ! they turned their back to the sea and ' marched inland. And now came hope of glory for their queen and for tliomselves great treasure in quest of the Golden City In the Kingdom of Manoa, whereof friendly Indians told them. Through untrodden bills and forests they marched, past the falls of the Orinoco and the upper waters of the grent Amazon, from low swamps to high plateaus, wherefrom they viewed the eternal snows of Chimborazo towering above the thunder cloud and the fierjr cone of Cotopaxi flaming agaiust the stars; a region 800 miles in length by 10o miles in width they traversed. Three years of fever and cold and fa mine they spent on that trail, and once a gold pack train loosely guarded fell to their hands; but of the Golden City never a trace. They came upon a White maiden, Ayanacora, golden-haired, tall and beautiful, treated as a princess by the Indians with whom she dwelt. Amyns was fbr leaving her, having witnessed on former voyages the evil Influence of women among lonely men; but she by signs made It clear she would not be left. He packed her off. She came back, and she being by then far from . fier habitation he had not the heart J lo cast her adrift In the vast wilder- i ness. So. every man solemnly pledged I to treat her with honor, she came to oe with them in the adventure where I :: Amyns, his crew much worn and wast ed and he desirous of heartening (hem jp, set upon a great galleon In lhe har Jor of Cartagena. Silently, in two 'anoes, they made the harbor, and. It jeing night, boarded the galleon se cretly by her stem gallery; and after i short fierce fight the galleon, with nuch treasure aboard, fell into their tmnds. It was here in this fight that A my as would have been run through 5y the Spanish captain bnt for Ayana :ora, who came leaping from behind md knifed tlu* Spaniard ere he could Irive home the long blade. But forty of their one hundred re gained; notwithstanding which they sailed with much content in the great ralleon to England. Ayanacora, sail ing with them, did one day hurst into singing of sea songs which only Eng< iish sailors knew; which caused SaF ration Yeo to ask questions, to which, is she acquired the English toftgue, she made answer; which answers re called to Yeo that fair Spanish lady >f Panama who had run off with Cap tain Oxenham, and to whom was born die baby girl which was later made )ff with.
