Trade naturally centred chiefly in turkeys and geese, of which there were a great many of fine quality, and farmers had little difficulty disposing of their stocks.. Prices were strong. turkeys selling from 35 to 38 cents a pound and geese, from 23 to 25 cents. Chickens and ducks were not nearly soplentiful as geese and turkeys and were not in very great demand. Buy- ers__.-r"' from out of town were out of town were not in very great de- mand. Buyers from out of town were not as prominent as they have been in other years, the explanation being that the city markets are supplied for the most part by western poultry.

ELIE-Ill: To satisfy King James s anxiety to conciliate Spain. and in response to the Spanish Ambassador's constant and grievous expostulations. my Lord Sunderland. the Secretary of State. had appointed a strong man to the deputy- governorship of `Jamaica. This strong man was` that Colonel Bishop who for some years now had been the most .influential planter in Barbados. From his first coming to Jamaica. Colonel Bishop had made himself felt by the buccaneers. `" But do what he misrht. the onezbuccaneer whom he made his particular quarry-that Peter Blood who once `had been his lave-.-eluded him ever. He confessed as much in a letter to the Secretary of State.` My Lordqsunderland bethought him of the plan adopted with.

The first of these was Captain Blood s flagship the Arabella, which ad been separated from the buccaneer fleet in a hurricane off the Lesser ntilles. She was beating up for the indward Passage homing for Tortu a, `the natural rendezvous of the dispersed vessels. The second hip was_t:he great Spanish galleon, the Milagrosa, Which, `accompanied by the smaller - frigate Hidalga, lurked off the Caymites, to the north of the long peninsula that thrusts out from thesouthwest corner ' of Hispaniola. Aboard the Milagrosa sailed the vindictive Don Miguel. The third and last of these ships was _ an English man-of-war. the Royal Mary-; which was at anchor in the 3 Nicholas on the Frenchvport of St. She northwest coast of Hispaniola. was on her Way from Plymouth to ~ Jamaica, and carried on board a. very distinguished passenger in the person of Lord Julian Wade, who came charg- ed "-by his kinsman, `my Lord Sunder- land, with a mission of some conse- quence v,and delicacy, directly arising out] of that vexatlous correspondence between England and Spain.

This illustrious sea-cam tain and great -gentleman of Castile had lost his head.- And so. reckless of the fact that Captain Blood was V- now in vastly superior strength, the Spaniati sought him up and down the trackless seas. But for a whole `year he soughthim vainly. _The circum- stances in which eventually they met are very curious. fin fhn 15th Qnnfnrnhnr nf fhn vant- CHAPTER XVI V , The Milagrosa In Tortuga, during the months he 1 spent there refitting the three ships he had captured from the fleet that had goneout 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 rareposltion of i being able to pick and choose the crews for his augmented fleet, and he chose `fastidiously. When next he sailed away it was with a fleet of five fine ships` in which went some- thing over a thousand men. Thus you behold him not merely famous, but really formidable. A Three captured Spanish vessels he had renamed with a certain scholarly humor, the Clotho, Lachesis, and Atropos,` a grim1y.j`ocula.r manner of conveying to the world that he made them the arbiters of the fate of any Spaniards he should hence- forth encounter upon the seas.` And mnnnwhlln fhn Rnnnisah Arnhw- I hated cooking because all I ate turned soiir and formed gas.

Captain Blood sailed for Tortuga. Don Miguel wa left to chew the bitter cud of lost opportunity. .1 V EIIZRUUEH. It was with this fleet that he carried -out the enterprisedagainst Maracay- bo. an enterprise in which Peter Blood's daring was only surpassed by stupidity which almost turned the tide` against him and delivered him and his men over to the tender mercies of his implacableenemy, Don Miguel de Espinosa y Valdez, the Admiral of Spain. Captain Blood had landed at Maracaybo and had found the town empty. Too soon he learned of the trap. Espinosa had put into the nar- row neck of the `bay- with his ships and had bottled the buccaneer in the .bay;_ A sloop, captured by Captain Blood, was loaded with combustibles and powder and was sailed directly at the Spaniard until the grapnels held the two like a vice. Then it was set aflame. `The Admiral's flagship burst into blaze, and fine seamanship and hard fighting with his three ships` made Captain Blood master of Mara- caybo Bay. But, when the Spaniards turned tail for shore and he gave chase. the fort which guarded the bay and .which had seemed deserted poured down a raking fire upon him and drove him in mortification and despair to take refuge in the town. The Span- iards secured themselves in the fort. `run . - CHAPTER xv-conti'nuea That affair of Mademoiselle d Og- eron bore as its natural fruit an im- provement in the already cordial re- lations between Captain Blood and the Governor of Tortuga.

His Lordship was one of your gallants to whom existence that is not graced by Womankind is more or less of a stagnation. And Miss Arabella Bishop was a young woman and a lady; and in the latitude into which Lord Julian had strayed this was a phenomenon sufficiently rare to command attention; On his side.

It is not therefore won- derful _that they should have been attracted to each other before the Roy- al Marynwas warped out of St. Nich- olas. Each could tell the other much upon which the. other desired informa- tion. Considering how his mind was .obsessed with the business of his mis- sion, it is not wonderful that he should have come `to talk to her of Captain Blood. - Indeed, there was a circum- stance that directly` led to it.
