TOWARD SUNSETO come my love and walk with me

Through the orchards leafy waysAnd hear the song of bird and bee

We hoard in other daysWhen all the world was good and kind

When hearts were warm and trueAnd the narrowest path our feet could find

Was wide enough for twoOnce more well keep a loving tryst

Beneath the bending boughsWhore first your maiden lips were kissed

And first we breathed our vowsThere where with beating heart you came

To greet me at the barsAnd waiting I would speak your name

And spell it In the starsTime sprinkles frost upon our heads

But loves eternal youthDwells in each happy breast and sheds

The beauty born of truthAnd heart to heart and lip to lip

Well breath our vows divineTill in the last long sloop you slip

Your loving hand in mineNixon Waterman in L A W Bulletin

CHAPTER VII

OF THE GREAT STRAIT WE FOUNDOURSELVES IN AND HOW THATSUBTLE ROGUE THE MATE SEEMEDSTILL TO TRIUMPHBy this time some showing of what

the captain had prophesied as to achange of weather began to appearThe sun was now pretty high Imt it

did not strike dow D ith its usual heatthin whitish almost imperceptible

haze floating between and presentlyI noticed that the northern sea linewas a little darkened so that the hori ¬

zon itself was not so sharply cut as it

had been The air too had a changedfeeling a little damper as I might sayand with more of the ocean smell in it1 now surmised that we weretocatcha bit of a blow though not a hurri ¬

cane and thai the wind would pres-ently

¬

shift to the north What sort ofbusiness we could make of it Heavenonly knew and it was with no littlestirring of apprehension that I finallygave over my studying And directeda more general look a ound The longboat was still traveling southwest andno other sail was to be seen There wasthe same easy sea not so deeply blueas before the thin veil came over thesun but raising scarcely a crest andswinging and sinking in diminishingwater hitlo and valleys The raftclimbed up and did down in the fashinn that such a contrivance must dash ¬

ing 8 bit of spray over us now andthen but yet making some headwayand in this sort we continued for per-haps

¬

two hours By that time we hadall thought it best to get into our oil ¬

skins Mr Tym likewise discarding hiswi and in lieu of it drawing on a littleknit cap like a nightcap and when atlast it was quite a bit past noon T gotout and served dinner Of course ithad to be eaten eohk but we added a

little brandy and it relished well andafter this nothing happened till earlynight

The wind had swung a little into thenorth giving token of what was to beexpected and the sea was coming upa bit but as yet hid made no headsof dangerous size The sun was settingred but with a topping of gray cloudsand the air was growing chilly thoughit could not yet be called cold I sweptthe sea Hue once more for a sail butwithout success whereupon feelingweary and a bit discouraged I flungmyself down and drew a piece of canvasover me I heard Mr Tym stir aboutn little I say heard for I had coveredmy head for the moment and pres ¬

ently knew that he had gone aft torelieve the captain at the helm I hada strange sort of quiet secure feelingcome over me then in a way as thoughI had no further care of this businessand scarce needed- to feel fear and in a

moment I was lapsing from that intoa drowse 1 was called back to myselfby a loud tone of talking and on throw-in- -

back the canvas round Mr Tym andthe captain on their feet and lookingwith great seeming of eagerness to-

ward¬

some point in he western sea-

board¬

I flung the canvas wholly fromme and sprang up

The sea had darkened even in thefew moments 1 had been under the can ¬

vas ami only a pale lemon coloredstreak in the west remained of thesunset The raft canted and made itsdownward slide just as I got steadi ¬

ness of my legs and I could only whiskmy eye so to speak over the shoulderof the crest before we had droppedinto the duskiness of the hollow But

in that glimpse I saw what it was thatmy companions had discovered Againstthe yellow western band stood out ablack dot which could only be a sail

My heart gave a great jump and Icould have shouted but in the end Icontented myself with saying two orthree times profoundly ThankGod and with that stood quietly onmy straddled legs waiting for the nextrise of the raft My companions hadgiven over their talking and seemedto be holding themselves in patienceas I was only that I think Mr Tymspoke to me as I stood about for mybalance and so drew his notice Theraft swung to the top of the crest andas it tipped for the next slide we alllooked eagerly for the black dotThere it was as distinct as ever andbeyond any manner of doubt the narro-

w-wise view of a ship We cried outin a kind of cheer and I then fell toasking with eagerness how long shehad been in sight

I raised her but a moment sinceanswered the captain She showedfirst as you see her and must thereforebe bows on But pray you pass memy glass and I will see what furthercan be made of her

T hastened to fetch his glass from hisbox of instruments and when the nextlift of the raft was he brought it tobear

Mr Tym and I hung on his wordsfor it was an anxious moment andpresently felt a vast relief when hebroke out

Yes a large ship and bows on Shecan scarce be above four or five milesaway and o she does not change hercourse should fetch up to u- - within anhour

I could not rest rain a step or two ofa sailors shuffle tit this great wasmy delight and Mr Tym smiled

Let us have down the sail pur ¬

sued the captain for now it does usno good and puts us to the labor olsteering

1 perceived with this that the windhad indeed hauled much to the northand was therefore driving us contin ¬

ually to leeward I jumped to thesail and shut it up to the mast andwhipped the sheet round it J3y thistime quite sharp airs were blowingand the heads of the seas had come upin a sort to fling the spray in smallshowers over us We did not muchheed this and drew together in themiddle of the raft and while we keptan eye out for the ship continued ourdiscourse

I mistrust she is a Spaniard saidthe captain She may well come fromthe Florida coast

1 wish you might be wrong said I

for the Spanish have no love for us atthis time There has been too muchdoing by the buccaneers

Yet we could speak them fair saidMr Tym and if pushed to it com ¬

pound with them in some small man ¬

ner of ransom I could raise a sumgiven a little time

Marry said I quite with a lightheart for the prospect of escape hadflown like wine into my head I amfor them ransom or no ransom Bet ¬

ter a living slave than a dead sailorY continued to use the glass by

turns and to discuss the thing till atlast we hod raised the ship to her hullShe was standing fairly toward us allher sails including topgallant sailsspread and looked to be a large lightfloating craft

She has bow ports said the cap ¬

tain who had the glas though theyare scarce visible as she is paintedNay but we must lose no more timelet her be what she may Take apiece of this canvas Master Aruickand display it from the mast

I speedily had a distress flag flyingShe sees us cried Mr Tym who

had the glass There is a line ofIn ads along the forward bulwarkshe went on and a fellow with a tele ¬

scope is climbing the fore riggingShe came along fast her yards all

but square and studding sails hungout aloft Her tall bows sent up agreat boiling of white which shearedsmoothly right and left as she camenearer though with many plumes ofspray and in this gallant style shestormed down till at last being buta gunshot off she clewed up some sailput down her helm and with her longbroadside swung around came drift-ing

¬

down upon usA man in dark attire with a trumpet

in his hand climbed a few feet up themain rigging

Now we shall know what nation sheis said apt Sellinger but fromthat steeple of a poop and the poorawkward ordering of those yards sheshould be Spanish

So indeed it seemed to prove Theman presently Iwiled and the speechwas Spanish

Raft ahoyBoard the ship bellowed back

the captain Nay but I can go nofurther he said with a laugh I havescarce any Spanish Do you finish thebusiness

He addressed me and T sprang upand stood in his room The ship hadrapidly drifted down and was alreadywithin a hundred or a hundred andfifty yards The man in the riggingshouted If you would board us taketo your oars Be speedy or you willfall short

CHAPTER VIIIOF OUR RECEPTION ON THE SPANISH

SHIP

I saw that this was the case andlikewise feared that he might be ofthat cruel or indifferent sort thatwould leave us in the lurch if we failedWherefore I let fall the talk with himand hurriedly told the others how thematter stood The ship was not dead towindward but in the course she wasnow traveling stood to pass us about40 or 50 yards to the south and it wasto cover this gap that we must rowWe fell to it though it was but a poorpiece of work the raft being so clumsyand at last drew pretty nigh the shipsbow It was rioing and falling at greatheights above us but a seaman ap

peared on the boltsprit and at theright moment cast us a line I caughtit and made it fast and we quicklywarped as near as we dared to thelofty side The bulwark above us wasnow black with heads and a dark fel-

low¬

in a kind of Dutch rig raised him-self

¬

on the rail and from there direct-ed

¬

us how to proceed The fore chainswere too nearly under the toweringhouse of a foredeck to serve our turnand the captain seemed too indifferentto put over a ladder wherefore wewere presently drawn along till wewere near amidships where indeed wemight make shift to scramble up Thiswe did first tying on our backs sucharticle of value as we eared to pre¬

serve and when we were over the sidethe raft was cast adrift We then putdown our burdens and with no littleinterest and anxiety fetched a lookabout us

I may have been a bit confused fora moment for I find I got nothing thatsticks in my memory in that firstglance Hut presently I bring back acrowded deck most of the faces beingdark and some persons in handsomeattire standing a little way from thecompanion and for general surround ¬

ings a short flush waist of the shippoop and foredeck like little castlesand overhead a great but not overneatand shipmanliks spread of spars andsails Immediately a tall dark man inrough brown clothes a wide flappinghat and Flemish boots pushed out ofthe press and I recognized the personwho had held the trumpet

If you please Senor Captain saidI stepping to tko front and touchingmy hat we three arc escaped fromthe English ship Industry which wasscuttled and sunk Prom here I wenton and gave him the other chief out-lines

¬

of our st ory He listened withou1comment and when I had finishedmade a sign to one of his officers and

mm--

ordered the ship put upon her courseHe then turned back to us and fromhis cold and rather stem expression I

was not expecting a very agreeabVe orhospitable answer when there wassome stir in the crowd and tho se infront stepping aside a tall and statelylooking gentleman tame deliberatelvforward He was a- - one would guessabout five-and-fif- ty years of age andwas comely in the face but thinthough sturdy and upright in figureHis dress fraS uncommonly rich andwas the most showy and striking I hadseen pp to that time

I bowed low somewhat impressed byhis elegance and waited with an air ofdeference for him to speak I doubtednot he was some rich grandee and verv

You hav6 forfeited your liberty

likely the owner of the ship and cargoHe looked at me coldly yet with somecuriosity and after a brief glance atmy companion said in choice Spanish

Who are you senor and how didyou come upon the raft

I repeated what I had told the cap¬

tain though with someAs 1 proceeded I saw his brow darkenespecially at the mention that we wereEnglish

1 grieve senor to find that you andyour friends belong to that nation ofheretics and robbers he said in asevere voice Pray upon what busi ¬

ness was your ship and what was shedoing in these waters

I perceived the dangerous thing thatwas in his mind and suffered no delayin answering

Why your lordship I replied I

clapped this title to him at a ventureour ship was a peaceful merchant ¬

man and her business was to conveya cargo of English cloths and smallwares to Havana and fetch sugarpices and the like thither Our cap-

tain¬

can give vou more of this mat-ter

¬

And where think you went yourescaping mutineers he inquiredwithout pause

This disconcerted me a bit but I feltit best to out with the truth

To join that scoundrel Morgan ifour guess is not greatly at fault Ilet go boldly

He smiled in a grim fashionAye senor such was my thought of

the matter They have gone to jointhat child of perdition doubtless andsome good Spanish blood may be shedIn consequence What think you hewent on looking at me fixedly shallI not be doing my sovereign and thichurch a service if I endeavor to dis-charge

¬

a small measure of this debtI began to think that we had fallen

out of the frying pan into the fire forI was at no loss to guess what hemeant Nevertheless I was resolvednot to quail and indeed it was pos-sible

¬

he might be only trying me Icollected myself therefore and an-swered

¬

himA debt your lordship should be

paid by the debtor and not by him whohas no part in it The Spanish bloodyou speak of was not shed by me or bymy comrades We abhor piracy andevery such lawless doing

The hidalgo nodded but I could notsee that I had produced any measur-able

¬

impression on him It was ananxious moment and I discerned thatmy companions had detected some ¬

thing amiss and come closer though icould not than give heed to thein

Well senor he replied at lastthere is reasou in what you say and

I am not disposed to deal with youharshly Nevertheless here his lookhardened again and my spirits sankI cannot forget that you are English-

men¬

If you yourselves have done mycountrymen no harm neither had theSpaniards of Puerto Rico and Maracaibo done the English harm Yourlives are safe but vou have forfeitedvour libertv and on vour arrival atPanama will be sold as slaves Youmay go forward for the present andserve with the crew

He nodded tft signify that he had con ¬

cluded and with the same stately pre-cision

¬

as at first passed in among thecrowd and made his way out of sight

I was in a measure dumfounded andstood where he had left me trying tograsp the full purport of what had be-

fallen¬

Cast into slavery and by thepeople of a Christian nation Whatworse would it have been had we fallenamong the heathen Algerines I wasaroused from this overwhelmed stateby the voice of Mr Tym and turningabout acquainted both him and thecaptain with what had passed

Slaves to the dons is it said Sel ¬

linger when I had finished A mid-dling

¬

hard port to steer into after allthat has befallen us The greasy lobscourers I hope we shall manage toput a trick or two upon them before weare done To think of such tallow headsmaking slaves of free born English-men

¬

We had time for only a few wordsfurther for soon one of the officersthe boatswain as I presently discov-ered

¬

came along and ordered us topick up our tilings and follow him tothe forecastle This we accordingly didI carrying the supercargos box toshow him that much respect thoughhe tried to dissuade me On the wayI took some thought of the people aboutme not having till now observed themwith particularity and found that mostsave a few in armor who seemed tobe professional soldiers belonged tothe ships company the passengers notti limbering above a score Of these thegreater part were dressed in a ratherrich sort though not comparable toth don and about one fourth were fe-
