A wrlai if slrrrchrs by Frank R.
Stockton on "The Itaccnnocr of Onr
Const" is onn nt tho fintnresnf Kt. .
N'tchnlns Mr. Stockton ti lift of the nd
vruimva of IlnrtJidlciiiy I'ortiiRm'Z,
who, with small crew In a smnll ves
si 1, cnjiUiri'd a btipo tSjiauih nii-rchniit
imin in theCuiiUunu sea. Mr. Htockton
myr: Thu little iiirnte railed l.olrlly to
ward the bin Srmniurd, and tho latter
vrppol, utterly axtoninhed at the audac
ity of thii attack for the pirate' flag
wan I'yiiiB lay to, head to the wind,
and waited, the Rnuneri standing liy
their cunuon. When the pirntea bud
oinno near ftioagh toeeeand understand
tlie size and power of the runnel they
had thonght of attacking, they did not,
might have been expected, pnt abent
nd fail away at the ben of their ves
!' sved, bnt they kept itraight on
'.heir ui:nrHe, aa if they were about to
'ull npou a great, unwieldy merchant
man manned by common sailors.
Perceiving the foolbardiness of the
little ventel, the Spauisli commander
letermined to give It m lemon which
would teach ita captain to understand
better the relative power of great Tea
cla and little ones, ao aa toon aa the
oi rates' venue 1 wan near enough be or
lured a bnuulHido fired upon it. The
bptiuisb ship bad a great many peoplo
ou board. It bud a crew of 70 men, and
besides there there wore some paimen
' gerH and regular marines, and, know
ing thut the captain had determined to
fire npon the approaching vessel every
body had i-"thered ou deck to aee the
little pirate snip go down.
Lot the tou great cannon balla which
were shot out at Bartbolemy's little
craft all mimed their aim, and before the
gun could be reloaded or the great ibip
be got around so ai to deliver her other
broadside the pirate vessel waa along
side of her Bartbolemy had fired none
of his camion, bucb guns were oseleas
agniust so hage a foe. What ha waa aft
er was a baud, to band combat ou the
deck of the Spanish ship.
Ibe pirates were all ready for hot
work. They bad thrown aside their
coats and shirts, as if each of them were
going iuto a prizefight, and with their
outlasBes in their bands aud their pis
tols and knives in their belts they
scrambled like monkeys up the side of
the great sbip But Mpaniurds are brave
men and good fighters there were more
than twice as many of them as there
were of the pirates and it was not
long before the latter found out that
tb y could not capture that vessel by
boarding it. bo over the side they tum
bled as fust as tbey could go, leaving
some of their nnniber dead and wounded
behind them. Tbey jumped into their
own versel, uud then they put off to a
short dbtance to take breath and get
ready for a tiifferent kind of light. The
triunipbiiiit bpauiards now prepared to
get ricl oi tills boatload of bulf naked
wilil beasts, which tbey could easily do
if tbey took butter aim with their can
nun than tbey had doue before.
Bnt to l heir amazement tbey soon
fooud that tbey could do nothing with
tho gnus, nor were they able to work
their sbip to us to get it into position
for effectual shots. Bartholemy and bis
men laid aside tbeir cutlasses oud their
pistols und took upmuukets, with which
they were well provided. , Tbeir vessel
lay within very short range of the Span
ish ship, and wbeuever a man oould be
seen through the portholes or showed
hln self in the rigging or anywhere else
where it was necestury to go in order
to work the hip be made himself a tar
get for the good aim of the pirates. The
pirate vessel could move about as it
pleased, for it required but a few men
to manage it, and so it kept ont of
the way of the Spanish guns, and ita
brut marksmen, crouching close to the
deck, fired uud tired whenever Span
ish bead was to be seen.
For five loug hoars this unequal oon
test was kept up It might have re
minded ouu of a man with a slender rod
and a loug, delicate line who had
booked a big salmon. The man oould
not pull iu the salmon, bnt, on the other
hand, the salmon conld not hurt the
mun. and in the coarse of time tbe big
fob wonld be tired ont and the man
would get out bis landing net and sooop
him iu
Row, Burtbolemy thought he oould
scoop iu the Spuuisb vessel. So many
of bur men hud bueu shot that tbe two
crews would be more nearly equal. So
tie boldly ran bis vessel alongside tbe
big ship and again boarded her. Then
there was number great fight on the
decks. Tbe Spuuiards bud ceased to be
triumphant, bnt tbey bud become des
perate, and in tbe furious ouuibot ten
of the pirates were killed and four
wounded. Bnt tbe Spuuiards fared
worse than that. More than half of the
men who bad not been shot by tbe pi
rates went down before their cutlasses
and pistols, aud it waa not long before
Bartholemy bad captured the great
Spanish ship. . .
It was a fearful and a oostly victory
he had gained. A great part of bis own
man were lying dead or helpless on the
deck, aud of tbs Spaniards only 40 were
left alive, and these, it appears from
the aocounts. mast have been nearly all
wounded or disabled. .
