In the first place, the little gallipot of a boat that we were in vtu gravely overloaded. Five grown nwn, aud three of them —Trelawney, Redruth and the captain—over six feet high, was already more than she was meant Jo carry. Add to that the pow der, pork and the bread-bag's. The jjunwa'.e was lipping astern. Several times wf shipped a little water, and my breeches and the tails of my coat were all AimUing wet before wo had gone 100 yards. The captain made us trim the boat, and we got her to lie a little more even ly. vAU the same, we were afraid to breathe. In the second place, the ebb was now making;—a strong rippling current run ning- westward through the basin, and then south'ard and seaward down the straits by which we bad entered in the ironing Even the ripples were a dan ger la mtr overloaded craft; but the worst of it was that we were swept out of ottr true course, and away from our proper landing-place behind the point. If we let the current have its way we should come ashore beside the gigs, where thr pirates might appear at any moment. "I cannot keep her head for the stockade. sir." said I to the captain. I vras steering, while he and Redruth, two freuli men, were at the oars. "The tide Weeps washing her down. Could you pull a little stronger?" "N*it without swamping the boat," «aid he. "You must bear up, sir, if you yilpaite- bear tip until you see you're ig'aijiteg." I tried, and found by experiment that lr. Trelawney, out and awa;," «aid "Mr. Trelawney, will you please pick me off one of those men, sir? Hands, if possible," said the captaiu. Trelawney was as cold as steel. He looked to the priming of his gun. "Now," cried the captain, "easy with that gun, sir, or you'll swamp the boat. All hands stand bj- to trim her when be aims." The squire raised his gun, the rowing ceased, and we leaned over to the other side to keep the balance, and all was so nicely contrived that we did not ship a drop. They had the gun, by this time, slewed round upon the swivel and Hands, who was at the muzzle with the rammer, was, in consequence, the most exposed. However, we had no luck; for just as Trelawney fired, down he stooped, the ball whistling over him, and it was one of the other four who fell. The cry he gave was echoed, not only by his companions on board, but by a great number of voices from the shore, and looking in that direction I saw the other pirates trooping out from among the trees and tumbling into their places in the boats. "Here come the gigs, sir," said I. "Give way, then," said the captain. "We mustn't mind if we swamp her now. If we can't get ashore, all's tip." "Only one of the gigs is being manned, sir," I added, "the crew of the other most likely going round by shore to cut us off." "They'll have a hot run, sir," re turned the captain; "Jack ashore, you know. It's not them I mind; it's the round-shot. Carpet bowls! My lady's maid couldn't miss. Tell us, squire, when you see the match, and we'll hold water." In the meanwhile we had been mak ing headway at a good pftce fcr a boat so overloaded, and we had shipped but little water in the process. We were now close in; 30 or 40 strokes and we should beach her; for the ebb hail al ready disclosed a narrow belt of sand below the clustering trees. The gig was no longer to be feared; the little point had already concealed it from our eyes. The ebb-tide, which had so cruelly delayed us, was now xnakiug reparation, and delaying our assail ants. The one source of danger was the gun. "If I durst," said the captain, "I'd stop and pick off another man." IJut it was plain that they meant nothing should delay their shot. They rgA « *r- Aa Trelawney fired th«> ball whistled over our heads. had never so much as looked ut their fallen comrade, though he was not dead, and I could see him trying to crawl away. "Ready!" cried the squire. "Hold!" cried the captain, quick as an echo. And he and Redruth backed with a great heave that sent her stern bodily under water. The report fell in at the same instant of time. This was the first that Jim heard, the sound of the squire's shot not having reached him. When the ball passed, not one of us precisely knew; but I fancy it must have been over our heads, and that the wind of it may have contributed to our disaster. At any rate, the boat sunk by the stern, quite gently, in three feet of wa ter, leaving the captain and myself, facing each other, on our feet. The other three took complete headers, and came up again, drenched and bubbling. So far there was no great harm. No lives were lost, and we could wade ashore in safety. I!ut there were all our stores in the bottom, and, to make things worse, only two guns out of five remained in a state for service. Mine 1 had snatched from my kneesand held over my head, by a sort of instinct. As for the captain, he had carried his over his shoulder by a bandoleer, and, like a wise man, lock uppermost. The three had gone down with the boat. To add to our concern we heard voices already drawing near us in the woods along shoi*; and we had not only the danger of being cut off from the stock ade in our half-crippled state, but the fear before us, whether if Hunter and Joyce were attacked by half a dozen they have the sense and conduct to stand firm. Hunter was steady, that we knew; Joyce was a doubtful case—a pleasant, polite man for a valet, and to brush one's clothes, but not en tirely fitted for a man-of-war. With all this in our minds, we waded ashore as fast as we could, leaving be hind the poor jolly-boat, and a good half of our powder and provisions. CHAPTER XVIII. NARRATIVE CONTINUED BY THE DOCTOR—END OF THE FIRST DAY'S FIGHTING. We made our best speed across the strip of wood that now divided us from the stockade, and at every step we took the voices of the buccaneers rang nearer. Soon we could hear their footsteps as they ran, and the crack ing of the branches as they breasted across a bit of thicket. 1 I began to net we should have a brush CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER i, 1898. for it in earnest, and looked to my prim ing. "Captain," said I, "Trelawney is the dead shot. Give him your gun; his own is useless." They exchanged guns, and Trelaw ney, silent and cool as he had been since the beginning of I lie bustle, hung a mo ment on his heel to see that all was fit for service. At the same time, ob serving Gray to be unarmed, 1 handed him my cutlass. It did oil our hearts good to see him spit on his har.d, knit his brows, and make the blade sing through the air. It was plain from every line of his body that our new hand was worth his salt. Forty paces further we came to the edge of the wood and saw the stockade in front of us. We struck the inclos ure about the middle of the south side, and, almost at the same time seven mu tineers—Job Anderson, the boatswain, at their head, appeared in full cry at the southwestern corner. They paused, as if taken aback, and before tliey could recover not only the squire and I, but Hunter and Joj'ce from the block-house had time to fire. The four shots came in rather a scat tering volley; but they did the busi ness; one of the enemy actually fell, and the rest, without hesitation, turned and plunged into the trees. After reloading, we walked down the outside of the palisade to see the fallen enemy. lie was stone dead—shot through the heart. We began to rejoice over our good success, when just at that moment a pistol cracked in the bush, a ball whis tled close past my ear,and poor Tom Red ruth stumbled and fell his full length on the ground. Both the squire and I re turned the shot; but as we had nothing to aim at, it is probable we only wasted powder. Then we reloaded, and turned our attention to poor Tom. The captain and Gray were already examining him, and I saw with half an eye that all was over. I believe the readiness of our return volley had scattered the mutineers once more, for we were suffered without further molestation to get the poor old gamekeeper hoisted over the. stockade and carried, groaning and bleeding, into the log house. Poor old fellow, he had not uttered one word of surprise, complaint, fear, or even acquiescence, from the very beginning of our troubles till now, when we had laid him down in the log house to die. He had laid like a Trojan behind his mattress in the gallery; he had followed every order silently, dog gedly and well; he was the oldest of our party by a score of years; and now, sullen, old, serviceable servant, it was he that was to die. The squire dropped down beside him on his knees and kissed his hand, cry ing like a child. "Be I going, doctor?" he asked. "Tom, 1113- man," said I, "you're go ing home." "I wish I had a lick at them with the gun first," he replied. "Tom," said the squire, "say you for give me, won't you?" "Would that be respectful like, from me to you, squire?" was the answer. "Howsoever, so be it, amen!" After a little while of silence, he said be thought somebody might read a prayer. "It's the custom, sir," he add ed, apologetically. And not long after, without another worrl, he passed away. In the meantime the eoytain, whom I had observed to be wonderfully swollen about the chest and pockets, had turned out a great many various stores —the British colors, a Bible, a coil of stoutish rope, pen, ink, the log book, and pounds of tobacco. He had found a longish fir tree lying felled and cleared in the inclosure, and, with the help of liunter, he had set it up at the corner of the log house where the trunks crossed and made an angle. Then, climbing on the roof, he had with his own hand bent and run up the colors. This seemed mightily to relieve him. He reentered the log house and set about counting the stores, as if noth ing else existed. But he had an eye on Tom's passage for all that; and as soon as all was over came forward with another flag and reverently spread it on the body. "Don't you take on, sir," he said, shaking the squire's hand. "All's well with him; no fear for a hand that's been shot down in his duty to captain and owner. It mayn't be good divinity, but it's a fact." Then he pulled me aside. "Dr. Livesey," he said, "in how many weeks do you and squire expeot the consort?" I told him it was a question, not of weeks, but of mcaiths; that if we were not back by the end of August, Blandly was to send to fii-d us; but neither sooner nor later. "You can calculate for yourself," I said. "Why, yes," returned the captain, scratching his head, "and making a large allowance, sir, for all the gifts of Providence, I should tsay we were pret ty close hauled." "llovv do you mean?" I asked. "It's a pity, sir, we lost the second load. That's what I mean," replied the captain. "As for powder and shot, we'll do. But the rations are short, very short' —so short, Dr. Livesey, that we're perhaps as well w itliout that ex tra mouth." And he pointed to the dead body un der the flag. Just then, with a roar and a whistle, a round shot passed high above the roof of the log house and plumped far beyond us in the wood. "Oho!" said the captain. "Blaze away! You've little enough powder already, my lads." At the second trial the aim was (bet ter and the ball descended inside the stockade, scattering a cloud of sand, but doing 110 further damage. "Captain," said the squire, "tihe house is quite invisible from the ship. It must be the flag they are aiming at. Would it. not be wiser to take it in?" "Strike my colors!" cried the cap tatn. "No, sir, not I;" and, as soon as he had said the words, I thi»ik we all agreed with him. For it was not only a piece of stout, seamanly good feeling; it was good policy besides, and show ed our enemies that we despised their cannonade. All through the evening tihey kept thundering away. Ball after ball flew ov»r or fell short, or kicked up the sand in the inelosure; but they had to lire so high that the shot fell dead and buried itself in the soft sand. We had no richocliet to fear; and though one popped in through the roof of the log house and out again through the floor, we soon got used to that sort of horse play and minded it no more than cricket. "There is one thing about all this," observed the good captain; "the wood in front of us is likely clear. The ebb has made a good while; our stores should be uncovered. Volunteers togo and bring in pork." Gray and Hunter were the first to eo make out the list of all men who were able to leave camp so they can depart for their homes as soon as possible.
