All these things had busied the man during the evening, and he sat even now in the midst of the revelry about him plunged in profound thought. l'nohserved himself, he had taken ac- 1 count of every man who was present. He knew all the habitues of the port and enjoyed a wide acquaintance ' 9.1110112: the. seamen whose vessels fre- quented the harbor. He decided there were then in that room perhaps twenty men upon whom he could depend. prop- ' er inducement being offered, for almost . any sort of service. Among these were the or six superior spirits whom he 2 knew to be tried and true. There was young Teach, the singer of the evening, a drunken. dissolnte vagabond who had , been discharged from his last ship for insubordination and a quarrelsome at- : tack upon one of his officers. for which -.â€"â€"â€"â€".â€"_-â€"â€" s-m ___.~â€"..__.â€"â€"â€"â€"_~____ _ he had narrowly escaped hanging as a mutineer. The man was as bold as a lion, though; he could be trusted. There. too. was Rock Braziliano, a Por- tuguese. half breed, and hobnobbing with him was Raveneau de Lussan, a Frenchman. prime seamen and bold fellows both. Farther down the table the huge Dutchman Velsers was nod- ding stupidly over his rum. These men and a few others were Veterans like liornigold himself. They were the best of the lot, but for the most part the assemblage was made up of the swceldngs of the town, men who had the willingness to do anything, no matter how nefarious it might be, their )nly deterrent being lack of courage. 1 1101-111 gold‘s single eye swept over them to come directly from himâ€"through his agency, that is, He desired it to be or such character that it should be neither speedy nor easy, and he lusted most of all that Morgan should know in his last hoursâ€"which Hornigold prayed Satan might be long onesâ€"to whom he was indebted for it all. And, strange as it may seem, there was still a certain loyalty of a distort- ed, perverted kind in the man’s breast. No matter what Morgan had done, no one else should punish him but himself. He would even have fought for his sometime chief. were it necessary, against the king or his law it need be. He was therefore very much disturbed over what he heard. Had it been pos- sible he would have warned Morgan immediately of his purposed arrest. but he had been detained on the frig- ate by necessary duties from which he could find no means of escape until too late. He had. however, a high sense of Sir Henry's courage and ad- dress. He hoped and believed that he would not be taken by such men as Hawxherst and Bradley. but if he were IIornigold made up his mind to rescue him. which place his voice and will were supreme. He had heard, for Lord Caro lingford had made no secret of his orders, that his old master was to be arrested and sent back to England. The news which would have brought joy to a lesser villain, in that it meant punishment, filled him with dismay. for such was the peculiarity of his hatred that he wanted the punishment that isâ€"and was now engaged in the useful and innocent business of pilot- mg ships into the harbor, also steering their crews, after the anchors were down, into the Blue Anchor tavern, in There was a little islet in the (far. lbbean just below Hispaniola in whose wooded interior still lurked some of the old time buecaneers, proscribed men, who from time to time did pirating in a small way on their own accountâ€" Jnst enough to keep their hands in.

One of them came in and reported that the squadron of horse which had gone up with the omcers to bring back Mor- gan had come back without him and without the omcers. The spy’s insig- nificance prevented him from learning why this was, but hope instantly sprang up in Homigold’s breast upon receipt or this news.

Etc. :when he saw the fill forni' of the ma- .roon appearing in the doorway through ‘the smoke. No one else noticed the si- glent Carib’s entry, and he stood mo- tionless until Hornigold’s eye fastened upon him. Then by an imperceptible move of his head he indicated a desire to speak with him without the room. The one eyed nodded slightly in token that he understood, and the maroon vanished as silently as he had come. Waiting a few moments, Hornigold rose from his seat and began threading his way through the boisterous crowd toward the door. Thrusting aside de- taining hands and answering rude queries with an old sailor’s ready ban- ter, bidding them on no account to qease the festivities because of his de- parture and, in fact, ordering a new draft of rum for all hands. he succeed- ed in breaking away under cover of the cheers which greeted this an- nouncement. It was pitch dark outside. and he stopped a moment, hesitating as to what he should do. He had no doubt that the maroon had a message for him from his master. But a second had elapsed when he felt a light touch on his shoulder. His hand went instantly to the seaman’s hanger at his side, and he faced about promptly. A ready man was Master Hornigold. “It’s 1, bo's’n,” whispered a familiar voice. “You, Black Dog? Where's your master?” “Yonder.” “Let me see him.” A tall. slender figure muffled in a heavy riding coat sat in the stern sheets of a small boat in the deepest shadow of one of the silent and deserted piers. "('aptain Morgan?" whispered Homi- gsild softly, as, followed by the maroon, he descended the landing stairs toward the boat. “’Tis you, Master Hornigoid," an- swered the man. with an accent of re- lief in his voice, thrusting the pistol back into his belt as he spoke. He, too. was a ready man with his weapons and one not to be caught napping in any emergency. "Me it is. sir.” answered the boat- swain, “and ready to serve my old captain.” “You heard the news?” “I heard it on the frigate this after noonf’ “Why did you not send me warn- mg?" "I had no chance. I’d 'a’ done it. sir, if I could have fetched away.” “Well, all's one. I've laid those two landlubbers by the heels. Eh, Carib?" “Where are they. sir?” “I might make a guess, for I left them bound and the house blazing." “ "l‘is like old times.” “Aye. I‘ve not forgot the old tricks." “No, sir. And what's to do now 1’" “Why, the old game once more.” “What? Do you mean"â€" “I do. What else is there left for me? Scuttle me, it I don't take it out of the dons! It’s their doing. They’ve had a rest for nigh twenty years. We'll let it slip out quietly among the islands that Harry Morgan’s afloat once more and there’s pickings to be had on the Spanish mainâ€"wine and women and pieces of eight. Art with me?” “Aye, of course. But we lack a ship.” “There's one yonder, man,” cried Morgan, pointing up the harbor, Where the lights of the Mary Rose twinkled in the blackness. “To be sure the ship is there, but”â€" “But what ?” “We’ve no force. The old men are gone!’ “I am here,” answered Morgan, “and you and Black Dog. And there are a few others left. Teach is new, but will serve. I heard his bull voice roar- ing out from the tavern. And De Lus- san and Velsers and the rest. I’ve kept sight of ye. Curse it all, I iet you live when I might have hanged you.” “You did, captain, you did. You didn’t hang everybody, but you didn’t spare, either.” “Listen,” said Morgan quickly. “This is my plan.

Those whose appear- ance indicated a degree of respecta- bility which promised payment for their accommodation were put to bed. The common sort were bundled uncere- moniously out on the strand before the door and left to sober up as best they might in the soft tropic night. Teach, Raveneau and the Brazilian were de- tained for conference with the boat- swain. To these worthies, therefore, Hornigold unfolded Morgan’s plan, which they embraced with alacrity. promising each to do his share. Velsers was too stupidly drunk to be told any- thing, but they knew they could count upon him without fail. “He's mine, by heaven, he's mine!” he whispered under his br 2:111) as he turned and walked slowly up to the house. It was late when Hornigold returned to the parlor of the Blue Anchor inn. Half the company were drunk on the floor under the tables. The rest were singing or shouting or cursing in ac- cordance with their several moods. CHAPTER III. HE next morning, after waiting a reasonable time for a mes- sage from the two soldiers at Spanish Town, Lord Carling- tord, the new governor, who had taken up his residence temporarily at Port Royal, summoned his attendants and himself repaired to the seat of gov- ernment to ascertain why no further report had been received from his 01'- ficers. Great was his astonishment when he found that the residence of the vice governor had been destroyed by fire during the night. The fright- ened slaves could tell nothing. Mor- an and Carib had taken care that no one had marked their departure. Con- sequently when the search of the ruins revealed the remains of three bodies so badly charred as to be unrecognizable it was naturally interred at first that theygzgre those of the buccaneer Ind “'1.

"H ti: on U 1H}- l (I [L4 Lord Carlingfm'd finally determined to send the Mary Rose to sea in an en- deavor to overhaul the pinnace in she hope that the i’Orzner vice governor might be found on her, although the chances of success were but faint. The frigate, however, was not provisioned or watered for a cruise after her long voyage from England. There had been considerable scurvy and other sickness on the ship. and she was in no condi- tion to weigh anchor immediately. She would have to be resupplied and the sick men in her crew replaced by drafts from the shore. Besides. in ac- cordance with the invariable custom. the great majority of the men had been given shore leave for that after- noon and evening, and thoee few who were not on duty were carousing at the Blue Anchor inn and similar tav- mander for his alleged theft of the boat and declaring his willingness to join in the search for him. It was known to the authorities that the exe- cution of the boatswain's brother by Morgan had shattered the old intimacy which subsisted between them; conse- quently his protestations were. given credence, and suspicion of eollusion was diverted from him. Troops were accordingly ordered out. and even details of surly seamen, growling at being deprived of their accustomed shore liberty. were de- tailed from the frigate. which hap- pened to he the only war vessel in commission in the harbor. Hornigold. Raveneau. and one or two of the others known to he former oompanions of the buccaueer Were closely interrogated, but they slontly declared they did not know his whereabouts and had seen nothing of him. Later in the afternoon it was observed that Hornigold's pin- naee was not in the harbor. Indeed, with cunning adroitness. that master mariner himself called attention to the fact. cursing the while his old com- .- - â€" '-- the‘ two unfortunate officers. It was known among the people of the place, however, that Lady Morgan had been seriously ill, so ill that she could not have been removed. and there were some who suspected that one of the bodies was hers and that the 'arch fiend himself had by some means dis- posed of the oilieers and escaped. Therefore a hue and cry was raised for him and a shirt search instituted by order of the gcn'm'nor. who. after setting aii’airs in motion. returned to Port Royal. As he could do so, not only personal- ly, but through his ahle lieutenants, Hornigold busied himself during the day and the preceding night in en- listing as vicious a gang of depraved rumans as could be gathered together in what was perhaps the wickedest city in the world. It had been decided after conference between the leaders that there was no place within the confines of Port Royal itself where so many men could meet without exciting sus- picion. He had accordingly appointed a rendezvous for the night across the narrow entrance to the harbor. opposite the fort, under the trees which over- shadowed the strand, some distance back from high water mark. Singly or in groups of two or three the men had gone across in boats after sunset, successfully eluding observation. for the night was moonless and very dark. There was rum in plenty under the trees on the point. but care was taken by Rock Braziliano, Raveneau and the others, eVen including Velsers, that no one should drink enough to lose entire control of his gaculties or to become oh- erns and would be utterly unable to work the ship should they be called upon to do so without being given a chance to sober up. This would take time, and Lord Carlingi‘ord upon the representations of his sea oflicers de~ cided to wait until the morrow before commencing work. is Piood Tea The frightened slam could ten nothing .(h the suthority of the pmprietors q DI.

Not that they objected to buccaneerlng. They were eager for the chance once more. But the memory of Morgan’s betrayals of iris old comrades rankled deep. There were many besides Hornigold who had promised themselves the luxury of vengeance upon their old commander. There were none, however, who had so dwelt upon it as the boatswain. nor were there any whose animosity and determination compared to his fierce hatred. He was therefore able at last to persuade them into a surly willing- ness to accept Morgan as their captain in this new enterprise. Indeed, with- out him they. could do nothing. for there was no one who possessed the ability or experience to lead them save he. The best men of the old stamp were now in the south seas and far away; they had been driven from the Caribbean. It was not difficult for Hornigold to show them that it must be Morgan or no one. But you don’t need to take our word u to what these Pills can accomplish. Try them yourself. If they don’t do you pm}, you an get your money back. Isn’t that fair? streperous. X0 fires Were lighted; no smoking was permitted. Strict silence was enjoined and enforced. It was per- haps 10 o’clock before all were as- sembled. Their feelings of animosity were. perforce, sunk beneath the surface. al- though they smoldered still within their breasts. They would go with him, they said. But let him look to himself, they swore threateningly. If he betrayed them again there were men among them who would kill him as remorselessly as they would stamp on a centiped. If he behaved himself and the expedition on which he was to lead them proved successful they might forgive him-all but old Horni~ gold. Truth to tell. there was no one among them who felt himself so wronged or 'so badly treated as the one eyed envenomed sailor. Worth stole millions on both sides of the Atlantic. eluded the police for years and died in poverty in London. One of his famous exploits was the stealing of the famous picture of the Duchess of Devonshire, by Gainsbor- ough, valued at 330.000. He carried the picture in a false bottom of a trunk for years and finally gave it up after some negotiations with the own- ers. The bulk of the party, which num- bered perhaps a hundred men. were simply plain, ordinary thieves, cut- throats, broken down seamen, land sharks and rascals. Not much was to be expected of them. The were not of the stat of which the 01 time bnccao neers had been made. but they were the best to be obtained at that time in Port Royal. Even they would not have been so easily assembled had they realized quite what was expected of them. They knew, of course, that they were committing: themselves to some nefarious undertaking, but to each rev crui-t had been vonchsat‘ed only enough information to get him to come to the rendezvous, no more.
