He swung again to thestartled Colonel. “Though I promise you your life, 1 must—as you've heard—keep you aboard as a hostage for the good behavior of Governor Steed and what’s left of the fort until we put to sea.” “Until you . . ."” Horror prevented Colonel Bishop from echoing the re- mainder of that incredible speech. “Just so,” sald Peter Blood, and he turned to the officers who had ac- companied the Colonel, “The boat is waliting, gentlemen. You'll have heard what T said. Convey it with my compliments to his excellency.” “But, sir . " one of them be- gan. . ““There is no more to be said, gen- tlemen. My name is Blood—Captain Blood, if you please, of this ship, the Circo T.lagas, taken as a prize of war from Don Diego de Espinosa y Valdez, who is my prisoner aboard.” As they were running close to the headland east of the bay, Peter Blood returned to the Colonel, who, under guard and panic-stricken, had dejectedly resumed his seat on the coamings of the main hatch. “Can ye swim, Colonel?" Colonel Dishop looked up. His great face was yellow and seemed in that moment of a preternatural flab- biness; his beady eyes were beadier than ever. “As your doctor, now, I prescribe a swim to cool the excessive heat of your humors."” RBlood delivered the explanation pleasantly. 1t was the thought of Arabella Bishop that had urged him to mercy, and had led him to oppose the natural vindictiveness of his fellow-slaves un- | til he had been in danger of precipi- tating a mutiny. “You shall have a chance to swim for it.’ Peter Blood continued. “It's not above a quarter of a mile to the NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, THURSDAY, JANUARY 4, 1023, N 1y Rafael Sabatini M RAF, SABATING | | | | | I yonder, and with erdinary ek ye should manage it Peter Nlgod gave order.

Then he uttered a moan, and closed his eyes again, impelled to this by the mon- strous ache in his head. He was beginning to torture his mind with conjecture, when the door opened, and to Don Diego’s increasing mystification he beheld his best suit of clothes step into the cabin, The suit paused to close the door, then advanced toward the couch on which Don Diego was extended, and inside the suit came a tall, slender gentleman of about Don Diego’s own height and shape. Don Diego struggled up into a sit- ting position on the red velvet couch. “Who the devil are you?" he asked. “And what the devil are you doing in my clothes and aboard my ship?” Mr. Blood's black eyebrows went up, a faint smile curled the lips of the long mouth. “You are still delirious, T This is not your ship.

Why, If the service you would propose is one that cannot hurt my henor . 4 “Could I be guilty of that?" pro- tested the Captain. “I realize that even a pirate has his honor.” And forthwith he propounded his offer. “The only man among us schooled in the art of navigation is fevered, de- | | | tient, lirious, in fact, as a result of certain | ill-treatment he received ashore be- fore we carried him away with us.

If so, we will re- lease you and your surviving men upon arrival there.” ; Don Diego bowed his head upon his breast. | “1 accept,” he said. CHAPTER XI. Filial Piety.
