Throwing aside the rags which cov

caught a glimpse of the uniform, the
sheen of the naked sword. lie was
about to tear himself from Iris' clasp
and spring at this new enemy when
the Brazilian spoke.
"Mil diabos'." he cried in a rage.
"This cursed Inglez still lives, and here
am I posing before him like an old
hag!
His voice alone saved him from be

had adopted no light measures wltn
others of his countrymen during the
past half hour, as the dented guu bar
rel minus its stock well showed. But
the captain's mortified fury helped to
restore Philip's sanity. Lifting Iris'
glowing face to his own, he whispered
"Tell me, sweetheart, how comes It
that our Brazilian friend is here?1
"He ran away when some shots
were fired." which was rather unfair
of Iris. "He said the launch had been
sunk by a man-of-war"
"But he Is wrong. I saw no man-of-war.
We captured the launch. By
this time she is well out at sea. Un

"Then there really was a warship!"
murmured Iris.
"Ha!" said San BenaTldea, and his
tone was almot gratiued, for he had
gathered that tinnier was skeptlcnl
when told of the rockets. Bat In that
respect at least he was not mistaken.
A iiiHtnif war had entered the rtmd

have money. Let me ask him to ex
plain matters to this dear woman and
her daughter. They have been more
than kind to me already."
She turned to the sulky San Bena
vides and told him what. HoRler had
suggested. He brightened at that and
begau a voluble speech to Lulsa Go
mez. Interrupting himself, he In
quired in French bow Hozier proposed
to reach the rock.
"On a catamaran. There are two on
the beach, aud I can handle one of
them all right," said rhlllp. "But
what Is this yarn of a warship? When
last I sighted the launch she was
standing out of the harbor, and the
first clouds of the storm helped to
screen her from the citadel."
Ills Interpreted. San Benavides re
pented his story of the rockets. In her
present tumult the girl forgot the
touch of realism with regard to the
firing thnt he had heard. Certainly
there was a good deal of promiscuous
rifle shooting after the departure of
the launch, but warships use cannon
to enforce their demands, aud the
boom of a big guu had not woke the
echoes of Fernando Noronba that
night. Philip deemed the present no
time for argument. He despised San
Benavides and gave no credence to
him. Just now the Brazilian was an
evil that must be endured.
Luisa Gomez promised to help in
every possible way. Her eyes sparkled
at the sight of gold, but the poor wo
man would have nsslsted them out of
sheer pity. Nevertheless the gift of
a couple of sovereigns, backed by the
promise of many more If her husband
devoted himself to their service, spur
red her to a frenzy of activity.
There was not a moment to Ih lost.
The squall had spent Itself, aud a peep
through the chluks of the door showed
that the uioon would quickly be In evi
dence a:--u!u. It was essential that
they should cross the chauuel whtlo
the scattering clouds still dimmed her
brightness, so Manoela aud her mother
collected such store of food and milk
and water as they could lay hands ou.
Well laden, all five hastened to the
creek, and Hozier. Iris aud San Bena
vides boarded the larger of the two
catamaraus.
When the catamaran rounded the
last outlying crag and they were all
straining their eyes to find the sentinel
pillars tuey became aware that a
small boat was being pulled cautiously
toward them from the opposite side
f the rock.
Iris gasped. She heard Hozier mut
ter under his breath, while San Bena
vides reveuled his dismay by an oath
and a convulsive tightening of the
hands that rested on the girl's shoulders.
Hozier stroTe with a few desperate
strokes of the paddle to reach the shad
ows of the passage before the cata
maran was seen by the boat's occu
pants. He might have succeeded. But
there was even a greater probability
that the unwieldy catamaran might be
caught by the swell and dashed side
long against one of the half submerged
rocks that thrust their black fauga
above the water. I
Happily they were spared cither al
ternative. At the very Instant that
their lot must be put to the test of
chance Coke's hoarse accents came to
their Incredulous ears.
"Let her go, Olseu," he was growl
ing. "We've a clear course now, an'
that Infernal moon will spile every
thing If we're spotted."
In this Instance bearing was believ
ing, and Philip was the first to guess
what had actually occurred.
"Boat ahoy, skipper!" he sang out in
a Joyous hall.
Coke stood up. He glared bard at
the reef.
"Ijld ye 'ear Itr be cried to Pe
Sylva. "Sink me, I 'ope I ain't a-copy-In'
pore ole Watts, but If that wasn't
Hozier's voice I'm goln' dotty."
"It's all right, skipper." said Philip,
sending the catamaran ahead with a
mighty sweep. "Miss Yorke Is here
Captain San Benavides too. I was
sure you would look for us if you
cleared the harbor safely."
Then Coke proclaimed his sentiments
In the approved ritual of the high seas,

thing in the nature of an explanation
