CAPTAIN BLOOD By RAFAEL SABATINI The Greatest Love Story Ever Told (Contlnued from Yesterday's tar.) “That Is yet to be proved in action.” sald he. Since for the last 24 hours all had been in readiness for departure, there was nothing now to delay them, and it was declded to move next morning. Such was Capt. Blood's assurance of su that he immediately freed the prisoners held as hLostages, and even the negro slaves, who were regarded by the others as legitimate nlunger. Hls only precaution against thosq released prisoners was to order them into the church and there lock them up, to await deliverance at the hands of those who should presently be coming into the city. ‘Then, «ll being aboard the three ships, with the treasure safely stowed in their holds and the slaves under hatches, the buccaneers weighed anchor and stood out for the bar, each ve towing three piraguas astern. The admiral, beholding thelr stately advance in the full light of noon, their sails gleaming white In the glare of the wunlight, rubbed his long. lean hands in satisfaction, and laughed through his teeth. “At last!” he cried. “God delivers him into my hands! He the group of staring officers beh him woner or later it had to be,” he said. “Say now, gentleme Whether 1 am Justified of my patlence. Hete end today the troulles caused to the saijects of the Catholic king this infumous Don Pedro Sangre, he once called himself to me.” He turned to issue orders, and the fort became lively as au hive. The £uns were manned, the gunners al- ready kindling fuses, when the buccaneer fleet, whilst still heading for Palomas, was observed’ to bear away to the West. The Spaniards watched them, intrigued. Within a mile and a half to west- ward of the fort, and within a half mile of the shore—that is to sav, ©on the very edge of the shoal water that makes Palomas unapproachable on efther side by any bLut vessels ©of the shallowest draught—che four ships cast anchor well within the Spaniards’ view, but just out of range of their heaviest cannon. Sneeringly the admiral laughed, “Aha' They hesitate, these English dogs! FPor Dios, and well they may.” “They will be walting for night, suggested his nephew, who ttoca at Lis clbow quivering With exciteme Don Miguel looked at him, smiling. “And what shall the night avail ihem in thls narrow passage, under the very muzzles of my guns’ Be sure, Fsteban, that tonight your father wil be palid for.’ He -alsed his telescope to continue his observation of the buccaneers. He saw thai the piraguas towed by each vessel were being warped alonsside, and he wondered 2 little what this maneuver might portend. Aswhile those piraguas were hidden from view behind the hulls. Then one by one they reappeared, rowing round and away from the ships, and ecach boat. he observed, was crowded with armed men. Thus laden, they were headed for the shore, at a poink where it was densely wooded to the water's edge. The eves of the won- dering admiral followed -them until the foliage screened them from his view. | Then he lowered his telescope and | looked at his officers. “What the devil does it mean asked. None answered him, all being as| puzzled as he was himself. | After a little while, Esteban, who! Kept his cves on the water, 1lucked at his uncle's sleeve. rere they &o!" he cried, and pointed. And there, indeed, went guas on their way back to But now it was observed that they were empty, save for the men who rowed them. Their armed cargo had been left ashore. Back to the ships theyv pulled, to return again presently with a fresh load of armed men, which similarly .they conveved to Palomas. And at last one of the Spanish officers ven- tured an explanation: “They are going to attack us by land—(o httempt to storm the fort.” “Ot course.' The admiral smiled. “I had guessed {t. Whom the gods would destroy they first made mad.” Shall we make a sally?’ urged Esteban, in his excitement. - “A sally? Through that scrub? That would be to play into thelr hands. No. no, we will wait here to recelve this attack. Whenever it| comes, it is themselves will be de- stroyed, and utterly. Have no doubt of that.” But by the pira- the ships. evening the admiral's equanimity was not quite so perfect. By then the piraguas had made a half dozen journeys with their loads of men, and they had landed also—| as Don Miguel had clearly observed through his telescope—at least a dozen guns. His countenance no longer smiled: it was a little wrathful and a little troubled now as he turned again to is officers. Who was the fool who told me that they number but 300 men in all? They have put at least twice that number ashore already.” Amazed as he was, his amazement would have been deeper had he been told the truth: That there was not & single buccaneer or a single gun ashore on Palomas. The deception bhad been complete. don Miguel could not guess that the men he had beheld in those piraguas were always the same; that on the jour- neys to the shore they sat and stood | upright in full view: and that on | the journeys back to the ships, they lay invisible at the bottom of tho boats, wh were thus made to ap- pear empty The growing fears of the -soldiery at thc prospect of a attack from the landward side by the entire buccaneer force—and n force twice as strong as they had suspected the pestilent Blood to com- mand—-began to be communicuted to the admiral. in the last panish | night hours of fading day- light the Spaniards did precisely what pt. Blood so confidently counted that they would do—precise- 1y what they must do to meet the attack, preparations for which had been so thoroughly simulated. They set themselves to labor llke the damned at those ponderous guns em- placed to command the narrow pas- sage out to sea. Groaning and sweating, urged on by the curses and even the whips of thelr officers, they tolled In a frenzy of panic-stricken haste to shift the greater number and the more pow- erful of their guns across to the land- ward side, there to emplace them anew, so that they might be ready 1o recelve the attack which at any moment now might burst upon them from the woods not half a mile away. Thus, when night fell. although in mortal anxiety of the onslaught of those wild devils whose reckless courage was a byword on the seas of the main, at least the Spaniards were tolerably prepared for it. Walt- ing, they stood to their guns. And whilst they walted thus, under cover of the darkness and as the tide began to ebb, Capt. Blood's fleet weighed anchor quletly; and, as once before, with no more canvas spread than that which their sprits could carry, so as to give them steering way—and even these having been painted black—the four vessels, with- out Ught showing, groped their WAZ. by soundings to the .channel | turned to | | briee vi which led out to & The Ellzabeth and the Infanta, lead- ing side by side, were almost abreast cf the fort before their shadowy bulks and the soft gurgle of water at thelr prows were detected by the Spaniards, whose attention until that moment had been all on the other slde. And now there arose on the night air such a sound of human bafied fury as may have resounded about Babel at the confusion of ton- gues. To heighten that confuslon, and Spanish soldiery, the Ellzabeth emp- tled her larboard guns into the fort as she was swept past on the swift ebh. % At once realizing—though not yet how—he had been duped, and that his prey was in the very act of escap- Ing after all, the admiral frantically ordered the guns that had been so laboriously moved to be dragged back to thelr former emplacements, and commanded his gunners mearwhile 1o the slender batteries that of ail Eis powerful, but now unavailable, armament still remained trained upon the channel. With these, after the loss of some precious moments, the fort at last made fire. ft was answered a terrific broadside from the Arabella, which had now drawn abreast, and was crowding canvas to her vards. The enraged and gibbering Spaniards had ion of her as the line of flame spurted trom her red flank, and the thunder of her broadside drowned the noise of the creaking halyards. After that they saw her no more. Assimilated by the friendly dark- ness which the lesser Spanish guns were speculatively stabbing, the escaping ships fired never another hot that might assist their baffled and Dbewildered enemies to locate them. e Some slight damage was sustained by Blood's fleet. But by the time the Spaniards had resolved their con- fusion into some order of dangerous offence, that fleet, well served eby a southerly breeze, was through the narrows and standing out to sea. Thus was Don Miguel de Espinosa left to chew the bitter cud of a lost opportunity, and to consider in what torms he would acquaint the supreme council of the Catholic king that Peter Blood had got away from Mara- caybo, taking with him two 20-gun frigates that were lately the property of Spain, to say nothing of 250,000 pleces of elght and other plunder. And all this in spite of Don Miguel's four galleons and his heavily armed fort that at one time had held the pirates so securely trapped indeed, grew the account of Peter Blood. which Don Miguel swore passionately to Heaven should at all costs to himself be paid in full. Nor were the losses already detail- ed the full total of those suffered on this occasion by the King of Spain. For on the following evening, off the coast of Oruba, at the mouth of the Gulf of Venezuela, Capt. Blood's fleet came upon the belated Santo Nino, speeding under full sail to reinforce Don Miguel at Maracaybo. At first the Spaniard had conceived that she was meeting the victorious fleet of Don Miguel, returning from the destruction of the pirates. When at comparatively close quarters the pennon of St George soared to the Arabella’s masthead to disillusion her, the Santo Nino chose the better part of valour, and struck her flag. Capt. Blood ordered her crew to take to the boats, and land them- selves at Oruba or wherever else they rleased. So considerate was he that to assist them he presented them with several of the piraguas which he still had in tow. You will find,” said he to her captain, “that Don Miguel is in an extremely bad temper. Commend me to him. and say that I venture to remind him that he must blame him- self for all the {lls that have befallen him. The evil has recoiled upon him which_ he loosed when he sent his brother unofficially to make a raid upon the Island of Barbadoes. Bid him think twice bLefore he lets his devils loose upon an English set- tlement again.” With that he dismissed the captain, who went over the side of the Santo Nino, and Capt. Blood proceeded to investigate the value of this further prize. When her hatches were re- moved, a human cargo was disclosed in her hold. “Slaves,” sald Wolverstone, and per- sisted in that bellef, curking Spanish doviltry until Cahusac crawled up out of the dark bowels of the ship, and stood blinking n the sunlight. There was more than sunlight to make the Breton pirate blink. And those that crawled out after him— the remnante of his crew—cursed him horribly for the pusillanimity which had brought them into the ignominy of owing their deliverance to those wlkom they had deserted as lost be- yond hope. Their sloop had encountered and had been sunk three days ago by the Santo 0. and Cahusac had nar- rowly escaped hanging merely that for some time he might be a mock among the brethren of the coast. For many a month thereafter he was to hear in Tortuga the jeering taunt “Where do vou spend the gold that you brought back from Maracaybo?" to that narrow passage CHAPTER XVHIL The Milagrosa. The affair at Maracaybo ‘is to be considered as Capt. Blood's buccaneer- ing- masterpiece. Although there is scarcely one of the many actions that he fought—recorded In such particu- lar detall by Jeremy Pitt—which does not afford some instance of his genius for naval tactics, yet in none is this more shiningly displayed than in those two engagements by which he won out of the trap which Don Miguel de Espinosa had sprung upon him. The fame which he had enjoved be- fore this, great as it already was, is dwarfed {uto insignificance by the fame that followed. It was a fame such as no buccancer—not even Mor- san—kas ever boasted, before or since. Tn Tortuga. during the months he spent there refitting the three ships he had captured from the fleet that had gone out to destroy him, he found himself almost an object of worship In the eyes of the wild brethren of the coast, all of whom now clamored for the honor of serving under him. It placed him in the rare position of crews for his augmented fleet, and he ose fastidlously. When next he safled away it was with a fleet of five fine ships in which went some- thing over a thousand men. Thus you bahold him not merely famous, but really formidable. The three captured Spanish vessels he had re- named with a certain stholarly humor the Clotho, Lachesis and Atropes, a grimly jocular manner of conveylug to the world that he made them the arbiters of the fate of any Spaniatds he should henceforth en- counter upon the seas. In Europe the news of this fleet, following upon the news of the Span- ish admiral's defeat at Maracaybo, produced something of a sensation. Spain and England were varlously and unpleasantly exercised, and if you cara to turn up the diplomatic correspondence exchanged on the subject you will find that it is con- siderable and not always amiable. ‘(Continued in Tomorrow's Star.) { to scatter disorder among the! being able to pick and choose the| THE: EV HELP MALE “FEVER mail ORIGINAL recommendations on_applying for_cmployment.
