God o’ Israel! a gang o’ privateers is no better than its captain, and old Cap I.altoche had the soul of a hawk in him. We was In a ram-cat wind on the Med iterranean and lay to In the lee o’ an island. We see a man on its shore wavin’ to us. We sent a boat to him. He was Ctapt. John Smith. He had shipped from Mar seilles with a lot o’ pilgrims bound for Home. He was a tlghtln’ Protestant. Near this Island they threw him overboard. I reckon a gang o’ Protestants would have done the like for a Catholic. Smith was a tough stick o’ timber. A keen brain and a stout pair o’ hands. He could take care o’ hlm- stlf in any crowd with half a chance, give him a slim or a broad sword or the use o’ his lists. “We were lyin’ between Corfu and Otranto In the kingdom o’ Na ples when we spied a Venetian ar gosy. We knew that she would have a rich hidin’. O1<1 LnRoche made ready and bore down on her. She fired on us, killin’ a sailor. That was the thing our captain hoped for. We gave her a broadside. She fled. We used our chase guns and mauled her sails nnd tackle so that she lay to for action. We grappled nnd boarded her. She set us afire and got free. Ort’s blood! ft was a hot tight. We shot her sore between wind and water. She began to sink. Then she gave in. Again we grappled her. Some o’ our hellions was stoppin* the lenks, some guarded the prisoners. The rest o’ the gang rilled the ship. We got away with fifteen dead men on our deck and a rich booty o’ the finest silks, velvets and cloth o’ gold and a great store o’ Egyptian, Italian and Turkish money. “Smith and 1 quit the pirate ship at the first landin’. We had had enough o’ spittin’ on the front door o’ hell. Some time I’ll tell ye what happened to us In the siege of Regall. There’s a story ns good as any that Will Shakespeare ever wrote. I’m as tired as a lame grasshopper. Le’a go to snorin’." They covered themselves and were shortly sound asleep. Ainos Hwoke Robert soon after daylight. "It’s the next day and a good time to cross,” said the old adven turer. "There’s a fog on the wa ter as thick as smoke in a wig wam. I’ll pole the raft In place while you’re washin’. Reckon we can hit the west shore afore the fog lifts.” They broke their fast with corn meal and dried meat and strength- <■ - I the lashing* on their raft. With his lintcl.ct and saw and knife Amos had prepared some rude paddles more useful than a man’s hand In grabbing water. They were soon lying face downward and mak ing better headway than by swim ming. At intervals Amos consulted the compass that was corded to his neck and tucked under his slilrt- band. It was a tedious, long Jour ney. With their paddles under wa ter there was no sound from the raft louder than a faint ripple. Suddenly Amos stopped work and touched his friend’s shoulder and shook his head. His ear had caught a faraway splash of paddle. “Savages are on this water," he whispered. “Lie flat. Don’t move a muscle till I tell ye." They lay motionless with strained ears. Soon they could hear plainly the stroking of at least a dozen paddles, then deep raucous voices that reminded the young gentleman of the grunting of swine. In a mo ment the fleet of canoes could not have been more than a bowshot away. Their luck was now getting its severest test. They could only lie still and await the Issue. Rob ert felt a pain In the hand that held his puddle. His muscles were tense, and the pressure of his hand had Increased with his peril. The sounds came nearer and suddenly began to recede In the distance be hind them. The fleet had passed, bound for the east shore. Fortu nately they had not come near enough to be visible. The sounds grew fainter and were soon out of hearing. Amos laughed under his breath and then whispered: "The devil and his dogs! Was ye skeered?*’ Robert answered: “I shook like a shirt In the wind. Were youT’ “Boy. I won’t lie to ye. I was skeered to spit for a minute. I were a bit cold and I sweat like a pitcher full o’ Ice.” They put their strength to the paddies nnd In half an hour or so they saw a thickly wooded shore looming out of the fog. They tnnde their way through dry timber to a landing. There they left the raft, put on tlielr packs and pushed through a thicket and up a long slant to the top of a high ridge, above the mist, where a grateful breeze came out of the west. Near them a landslide had gone down the steep rock slope with an acre of timber In Its arms. There they could look out upon a great spread of country covered with varl-tlnted verdure. It Is likely that no white man’s eye, save theirs, had seen its wild beauty. “Look there!’’ Amos whispered. “No end to It! 1 reckon It’s like It were when God divided the light from the darkness and set the stars In heaven."
