Cap- tain Coli-p.-pp, r iinauwhile fidgeted incexHatitly in the big chair, and with f nuibliug lingers cut another fill of plug and rammed it into hia pipe with .-.i ranch unnecessary violence that the shining black clay was in imminent danger of breaking under the strain. All of which i* merely an evidence that the captain'* agitation wa* overpower- ing, for he loved hia cutty, and would have grieved for a month if he bad broken it. HIM action in filling hia pipe was, however, apparently just MM nnconscioni a* the doctor'* in playing with the thigh bone, for when be bad done h did not light it, but laid it on thetaMe. and. renting hi* elbows on bis knee* and bin chin in bin hands, leaned for- ward and anzionnly watched his com- panion's face. Hin whole attitude be- tokened an excitement the auppreasioD of which waa actually painful. Dr. Tring'a face, bowevvr, betrayed nothing He might have been engaged in deciding what he wonld have for dinner, so utterly calm waa his expres- sion. It waa a terribly anxioui moment for the Milor. for on his friend'* de- ii rested everything. Excellent sea- man though be wan. Captain Colepepper knew well enough that without the other's assistance he could do nothing. He could fit out a nhip, it is true, and take her to the very spot where tin fralleon with all her precious freight bad foundered : that much he knew h could do. bat that waa nnt enough. And for the rest he relied absolutely on the scientific skill of bis friend Dr Tring If Dr. Tring said "No." then the Sp.ini-h gold iiiti-t stay where it WHS, and Captain Colepeppt-r wonld f pi ml his life in the sailing of ahlp* and die at last a bnuible merchant cap- Tht enptatn tpreail th icript out on the tulile. tain. If Dr. Tring raid "Yes," Captain Colepepper wonld cheerfully spend every penny ho bad in the world in fit- ting out a veaael in which to make the venture and would be content to die in the end a panper. if only be conld first have a fair shot at being millionaire. Meanwhile the nunpense was slowly driving him frantic. Ueada of perspira- tion were rolling unheeded down hi* nose and dropping on to hi* beard. At last he conld M: ml the strain of inac- tion no longer, and. throwing himself back in the chair, began, utterly un- conscious of what he was doing, to whi-per strange sailor oaths beneath bis breath. These turgid muttering* had the effect of rousing Dr Tring to speech: "Have yon got yonr respected ances- tor's log with yon?" he asked. For answer the captain produced the tained yellow Bheetn from hi* pocket and handed them across to hi* com- panion "Head it to me again," aaid the doc- tor "I want to get a clear grasp of all the details. " "The whole of Itt" "No. Only where he tells about th* plateship. " The captain spread the yellow mann- icript out on the table before him and read aa follow*: "From the log of Nicholan Colepep- per. Esq.. master of the snow [brigl Lucky Venture. "TiURHDAT, iij February, 1891. * "The night had been a thick ode. and mayhap our lookouts, being somewhat tired of their tn-k, had not betn overspry in their watch Three weeks of peering through the weather for a vessel that never heaves in sight dulls the frer.li glanccx of nny mariner's aye. and w* bad l,r, n h ing hove to or landing on and , il I'm the galleon for fiv* days over that time So when dawn sicklied over ' the wiitern. mid the great hip WM spied li.iv. i.n; iil.'ir; ^oi.d live mile* to windward I wai al lii-l nniid d to (boot the fcllnw i,n th i i vi-H for keeping inch Im ', ily watch, bat re- membering that v.i -'lonld presently need all the hiimU we could get I anointed him with a few shrewd blow* from a culker'a nialh t h ing handy, and set the watch to trim ..ml make sail, that we might gut ,,,! the pace out of on* tight little nnow of which she wa* ca pahle. "The Spaniard's lookout was smart enough. His sail trimmers were hard at work when first we espied him, so be must have known of our presence before we knew of hia Now, it is the custom of the yearly plat hip to sail only dur- ing the day and t, n main hove to dar- ing the night hours, but this fellow must have been under weigh all through the darkness, having been advertised of our snow'* presence, probably, and so from this departure from custom w* judged that be feared as. and oar lad* took heart accordingly. "A chase to windward i* always tedi- ous work, but as we sailed better and fa-ter on every point than the Span- iards, 'twas only a matter of time, and we conld tell the hour to a nicety when we should be able to bring them into action The thing that vexed some of my men was the disparity in number*. We bad been at sea, off and on, for two years, and had lost half our number through wounds, scurvy, calentnie- and other sickness, and so con Id muster but a poor t)3 all told, and many of them half disabled and brought scurvy rotten from their bunks by the rustle of prepa- ration. The don was a 1 , 000 ton galleon newly out of port, with all her comple- ment bale and sound, and with well nigh 500 men fit to carry arms. "Aa we rose her hull above the plain of ocean we saw it wan pierced for ord- nance innumerable, for pieces both great and small; but. though this was some- what discomforting, her lowness in th* water was such that fears weroswami>ed as they rose to the surface, for there wa* snrely yellow ballast enough in her holds to make us all rich men for life, even inpposing that none of us WM killed, and a* out of oar small 83 third, or perhaps a half, might lose th* number of their in ens during so hot an i; ;ngi n. nt a- f,- n- h. r, on w* were entering pr, iiuim-d to be, then wonld be the greater share for the sur- vivors. So all were eager for the cast of fortune's dice box. which might bring them their death or might render them independent of mariner's trafficking for the remainder of their natural live*. "The don was ablaze -with banner* and ancients [ensigns], and on the am- ple belly of her fon-coiirsfl was depicted the head of St. Catherine, her patron- eas. with all the gamin and embellish- ments of the master painter's art. Sin waa replete with carvings and gilding*, with high fore and after castles, with close quarter* ami with all the Spaninh devices for naval fortification, and in good Booth sbu was as brave a ship a* ever breasted Atlantic or lured honest English buccaneer to plunder "Thus far had I writ before we came within shot range Our fellows, a* i* alway* their wont, bad act a cask of trong ale abroach in the waist and were feasting and making tuerry, for fear lent the hap of war should tak* from them other opportunity of doing that siiine again. The don. seeing that bis heels were too dull to give us the lip. triced boarding nettings up to hi* lower yardarms, opened his ports and ran out the guns, and in fine made all ready for action. He waa willing enough to run had chance been given him to do so. but now that he was cornered bad no notion of yielding his treasure with- ont a battle, lint as this fell out as w* had anticipated we were in nowise di*- rnayed nor surprised, but cleared onr pipes with a loud voiced drinking song, worked round to windward of him and held on to within musket range with- ont throwing a shot. "The don had been burning powder for a good half hour before our cnlverin* and falconets hurtled back their me*- *agn. Indeed his great ordnance on both broadsides had been -pitting away at one and the same time, so that w* giiensed at the confusion that was raff- ing in his 'tween decks and took com- fort therefrom mightily, remembering that one small bull driven home is worth a dozen score of heavy one* which miss their bourne. Owing to th* closeness of onr approach, the don'* gunners conld not well depress the inni- rles of their pieces, by reason of th* narrowness of the gun ports; so that even the few shot whose direction wa* true bad too great elevation and whis- tled harmlessly over our mastheads or ang through the upper rigging, and save for a cheeaehole punched in th* main topsail and a lee fore topmast backstay shot in twain we were not whit the worse for his pelting when at length we began our own. "Having run up into such short rang* before I gave the word to fire, we hacked him through and through with our very first broadside, and the groans and yell* from bis 'tween decks told us that w* had made commendable slaughter, bat by this time the arqaebnsier* in hi* roundtop* had iteadied down to their work and war* browning my gnn crew* somewhat too cavalierly. 80 I bad* my fellows load up with bar and chain hot, knock oat some of their quoin* and have at the don'* rigging -for all their skin* were worth, which saint* th* galleon acknowledged by bowing to n* with hi* foremast head, which had been twice hit by a shot from my main deck culwin*. Roundtop and hsrp- Hhooters, foreyard and the great belly- ing course with its gaudy painting came down by the run; the galleon slid up head to wind, in spite of her tinio- neer's every effort, and we had her at onr mercy. "After this 1 ran ahead and in a erie of short tack* raked her with alternate broadsides, to which she conld hardly reply with a gun ; for her bow chasers were masked by the raffle of wreckage, and when any of her people sought to remove this they, too. were mown down by onr incessant fire. And Ii nl the fates permitted me to carry on tl.i- game of Iring txjwls. she innt per- t, in-e have yielded unconditionally "But when another half dozen broad- -idi -s mu-t have reduced her word was passed that the powder had run c,.n. [,! -tely out. for we had cnme into action with hut a poorly st. .eked magazine, out having found opportunity to re- plenish it of late. Forgetful of thi. v-.-t- h id ben burning the pn -cinns zrain.- with feverish haste, and the uriiii!;!]^ little powder nionlo-y who brought me fie tidings declared that there was not another tub left " 'Tif truly vexations when an hon- 'i< caneer finds himself in a strait l.ke this, but there was no help for it We could not get more powder by HUT wishing, and we could not firo shot without it We had naught therefore hut cold steel left to rely npon. but cold steel has laid many a Spaniard low at my hands (and will, pl-ase heaven In the like to many more). So. trust ing in that. I sang out. 'Up helm!' and cried for boarders. [To u,. I PARSON'S CLOTHE-- -. . in Ik, *ttl llr 111 .11 k >l>lr ItlMi Itl It l-h I ......
