The brute strength upon which Levasseur so confidently counted, could avall noth- Ing against the Irlshman's practiced skill. 'When, with both lungs trans- Oxed, he lay prone on the white sand, coughing out his rascally life, Captain Blood looked calmly at Cahusac across the body, “I think that cancels the articles between us,” he sald, “If you will come to our anchor- age, you shall recelve at once your share of the booty of the Santiago, that you may dispose of it as you please.! ‘They crossed the island, the two prisoners accompanying them, and later that day, the division made, they would have parted company but that Cahusac, at the instances of the men who had elected him Levasseur's successor, offered Captain Blood anew the services of that I°rench contingent. “If you will sall with me again,” the captain answered him, “you may do 80 on the condition tMat you make your peace with the Dutch, and re- store the brig and he rcargo.” The condition was accepted, and Captain Blood went off to find his guests, the children of the Governor of Tortuga. M. d'Ogeron” was not in a forgiv- ing mood. ‘“‘Mademoiselle,” sald he, “aboard this ship you shall be treated with all honor. So soon as we are in case to put to sea again, we steer a course for Tortuga to take you home to your father. CHAPTER XVI. The Trap That affair of Mademoiselle d'Oge- ron bore as its natural fruit an im- provement in the already cordial re- lations between Captain Biood and the Governor of Tortuga. So when it came to fitting out his fleet for an enterprise gagainst Mara- caybo, he did not wal for either ships or men to follow him. He re- cruited five hundred adventurers in all, and he might have had as many thousands if he could have offered them accommodation. Similarly without difficulty he might have in- creased his fleet to twice its strength of ships but that he preferred to keep it what it was. The three vessels to which he confined it were the Ara- bella, the La Foudre, which Cahusac now commanded with a contingent of some sixscore Frenchmen, and the Santiago, which had been refitted and rechristened the Elizabeth. Hag- thorpe, in virtue of his service in the nflvy. was appointed by Blood to command her, and the appointment was confirmed by the men. It was some months after the rescue of Mademoiselle d'Ogeron—in August of that year 1687—that this little fleet safled into the great lake of Mara- caybo and effected its raid upon that opulent city of the Main. The affair did not procced exactly as was hoped, and Blood's force came to'find itself in a precarious position. A dispute was being conducted by Hagthorpe, Wolverstone, and Pitt on the ong side, and Cahusac, out of whose uneasiness it all arose, on the other. | :'Ia it that T have not warned you from the beginning that all was too easy?” ‘Cahusac demanded. "I see an abandoned fort at the entrance of the lake, and nobody there to fire a gun at us when we came in. Then I suspect the trap. What do we flnd’.'l “We always keep a Jar on hand. It is the best thing I know for ec- sema and similar ills, and it is so gentle and soothine it is excellent for cuts, burns, or 50« We use Kesi- nol Soap also—it's ideal for the com- plexion and bath.

It 1s a plece of eheese in a4 mousetrap, and we are the little mice, The cats are these four Spanish ships of war that have come meantime, And they walt for us outside the bottieneek of this lagoon." He checked, At that moment, up sauntered Peter Rlood, With, him came a tough, long-legged French sea-wolf named Yberville, who, though still young, had already won fame as a privateer commander be- fore the loss of his own ship had driven him to take service under Blood, The Captain advanced toward that disputing group, leaning lightly “I THINK THAT CANCELS THE ARTICLES BETWEEN US,” HE SAID. upon his long ebony cane, his face shaded by a broad-plumed hat. He spoke quietly, almost wearily, “You will be telling them that we have delayed, and that is the delay that has brought about our danger. But whose is the fauit of that delay?"” “Ah ca! Nom de Dieu! Was it my fault that . . ."” “Was it any one else's fault that you ran your ship La Foudre aground on the shoal in the middle of the lake? You would not be piloted. The result was that we lost three precious days in getting canoes to bring off your men and your gear. After that, and because of it, we had to follow the Governor to his infernal island fortress, and a fortnight and the best part of a hundred lives were lost in reducing fit. That's how we come to have delayed until this Span- ish fleet is fetched round from La Guayra by a guarda-costa.” He spoke with a restraint which I trust you will agree was admirable when I tell you that the Spanish fleet | was commanded by his implacable enemy, Don Miguel Valdez, the Admiral of Spain. ““There’s no good can come of talk- ing of what's past and done,” cried Cahusac. “The question is: what are we to do now?"” “Sure, now, there's no question at all,” said Captain Blood. “Indeed, but there is,’" Cahusac in- sisted. “Don Miguel, the Spanish Admiral, have offer' us safe passage to sea if we will depart at once, do | no damage to the town, release our prisoners, and surrender all that we took at Gibraltar.” Captain Blood smiled quietly. “If you and your own French fol- lowers wish to avail yourselves of the de Espinosa y Spaniard's terms, we shall not hindey you. “Precisely what answer have you make to the Admiral? A amlle irradiated the face and eyes of Caplain Bloed. “I have answered him that uniess within four *and-twenty hours we have his patole to stand out te ses, ceasing to dispute our passage or hinder our departure, and a rapsom of fifty they. sand pleces of elght for Maracaybe, we shall reduce this beautifuil city to ashes, and thereafter go out and de. stroy his fleet." The impudence of it left Cahusae speechless. They must strike ere Don Miguel recelved the re-enforcement of thet fifth galleon, the Bante Nine, which was coming to join him frem La Guayre, Their principal operations were on the larger of the two sloops captured at Olbraltar; te whie hvessel was as- signed the leading part In Captain Blood's scheme, They began by tearing down all bunkheads, until they had reduced her to the merest shell, and in her sides they broke open 80 many ports that her gun wale was converted into the semblance of & grating, Next they Increased by & half-dozen the souttles In her deck, whilst into her hull they packed all the tar and pitch and brimstone that they could find In the town, to which IM; added six barrels of gunpowder, placed on end like guns at the open ports on her larboard side, On the evening of the fourth day all were got aboard, and the city of Maracaybo was at last abandoned, But they did not welgh anchor until some two hours after midnight. Then they drifted sllently down to- ward the bar, The order of thelr golng was as fol- lows: Ahead went thelr improvised fire-ship in charge of Wolverstone, with a crew of six volunteers, each of whom was to have a hundred pleces of elght over and above his share of plunder as a special reward. Next came the Arabella, She was followed at a distance by the Elizabeth, com- manded by Hagthorpe, with whom was the now shipless Cahusac and the bulk of his French followers. The rear was brought up by the second sloop and some eight canoes, aboard of which the prisoners and slaves had been shipped and most of the cap- tured merchandise, The Spaniards did not sight Blood's fleet in that dim light until some time after Blood's fleet had' sighted them. - Straight for the Admiral's great ship, the Encarnacion, did Wolver- stone head the sloop; then, lashing down the helm, he kindled from a |match that hung ready lighted beside him a great torch of thickly plaited straw that had been steeped in bitu- men, As he swung it round it burst into flame, just as the slight vessel went crashing and bumping and scraping against the side of the flag- ship. His six men stood at their posts on the larboard side, stark naked, each armed with a grapnel, four of them on the gunwhale, two of them aloft. At the moment of im- pact these grapnels were slung to bind the Spaniard to them. Aboard the rudely awakened . gal- leon all was confused hurrying, scur- rying, trumpeting, and shouting. Wolverstone had seen his six fel- lows drop overboard after the grap- to your druggist The simplest way to end a corn is Blue-jay.
