CHAPTER XXVIIL Cartagena. Having crossed the Caribbean in the teeth of contrary winds, it was not until the early days of April that the French fleet hove in sight of Carta- gena, and M. de Rivarol summoned a council aboard his flagship to deter- mine the method of assault. “It is of importance, messieurs,” he told them, ‘that we take the city by surprise, not only before it can put itself into a state of defense, but before it can remove its treasures in- jand. I propose to land a force suffi- cient to achieve this to the north of the city tonight after dark.” It was sheer obstinacy and empty pride that drove him, and he received the lesson he deserved. The. fleet stood in during the afternoon to within a mile of the coast, and under cover of darkness three hundred men were pulled away for the shore in the canoes, piraguas, and ship's boats. Rivarol's pride compelled him, how- ‘ever much he may have ‘isliked the wventure, to lead them in persom. The first six boats were caught in’ the surf, and pounded into fragments before their occupants could extricate themselves. The thunder of the breakers and the cries of - the ship- wrecked warned those who followed, and thereby saved them from sharing the same fate. . The Baron went back to his flag- | ship an infuriated, but by no means & wiser man. He was awakened at dawn by the rolling thunder of guns. Emerging vpon the poop in nightcap and slip- pers, he beheld a sight that increased his unreasonable and unreasoning fury, The four buccaneer ships under “Kick” INIT —A tip for “wets” and “drys!’ We are all liable to feel “out_of sorts” at times— need something with a *kick” in it to clear the brain, brighten the eye, put “pep” in the system.

But the buccaneers timed their broadsides with extraordinary judgment to catch the defending ordnance reloading; then as they drew the Spaniard's fire, they swung away again, not only tak- ing care to be ever moving targets, but further, to present no more than bow or stern to the fort, their masts in line, when the heaviest cannonades were to be expected, § Gibbering and cursing, M. de Riva- ro) stood there and watched this ac- tion, so presumptuously undertaken by Blood on his own responsibility.

He announced that its arma- ment was less formidable than that of the outer fort, which they had re- duced; but on the other hand, the s passage was very much narrower than the Boca Chica, and before they could attempt to make it in any case, they must dispose of thosc defenses.
