Perhaps Bob gets away from them some time. Bet.tter he be with Murray than he be deadt." "Intell!gently logical," commented Murray. "I commend the sentiment to you, Nephew Robert." Peter's little eyes glinted toward him. "I go with Bob,'' he said. "No, no," denied Murray quickly. "You were not invited, friend Peter." "If I don't go, Robert don't go,'' replied Peter. "Andt you don't go. Perhaps I don't kl'• you, but it there 1.8 shooting you don't get away. Ja !" Murray contemplated this speech.

"Proceed, John,'' ordered my great''You remember the uncle's voice. way? The Green lane, 't!a called. Four men should be sufficient to accompany you. I wlll go on by another street. with the rest of our party." "Don't ye 'll·orry yourself, captain,'' returned Sliver. Footsteps thudded an•ay on the gravel, and I heard the scratching of the one-legged man's crutch as he stumped In front of us and the cart jolted forward. We emerged Into the Green lane, heading toward the East river, and a thrill tickled my spine aa I heard the chanting tones of old Dlggory Leigh, our ward watchman. ''Ten o'clock of a clear, dark night, and the wind In the nor'west. And all's well!" "Easy, all!" whispered Sliver's voice. "Push on, ye swabs ; push on! But hold your gab. I'll do the talklng." The steel piece on the butt of bls crutch tinkled on the cobbles as he stumped ahead of the cart. "Ho there, shipmate," he hailed cordially. "And does you do this the whole, livelong night?" Dlggory's lantborn-stave jingled on the ground. "I do," he returned In pompous tones. "What keeps you abroad so late? Y'are seafaring men. I judge." "Now I calls that clever," protested Silver with unconcealed admiration. "You sees us In the dark, and stralrht otr you says, 'seafaring men.' I can see you're a vigilant watchman, shipmate. I'd hate to b~ a neefarlous fellow In your town. Blow my scuttlebutt, I would !" Dlggory's appreciation of this tribute was mirrored In his voice. " 'Tis essential that our dtlzelll! be protected," he answered. "Yet there are those who have accused me of sleeping on watch.'' "Skulkers, they be-low-lived skulkers as ever was," Silver assured him. "I know how you feel. Here we've been a-workln' since sunup, a-shlftln' cargo and stowln' It aboard, and I'll lay you a piece of eight the captain never so much as sarves out a extry nol('gln o' rum." Dlggory's stave jingled again as he sloped It over his shoulder. ''The wisest men are not always those In authority, friend," he said. "Ye might think, from the way some of the corporation talk, 'twas they bar the night-walkers and wastrels from the city's streets ! Bah !" And his walling voice receded Into Pearl street. "What are you night-walkers and wastrels a-sn!gger!n' about?" demanded Sliver of his following. "George Merry, I'll lay Into you with my crutch. Put some heft behind this· here blessed cart. Ain't ye ashamed o' yourselves, a-laughln' at a brave, hard-workln' watchman as keeps wicked pirates from ll!tln' your goods?" A few hundred feet farther on we rattled off the cobbles onto the planked surface of a wha~. ''That you, John?" growled a voice. "Aye, aye, Bill. Where's the captain?" "Gone off In the jollyboat. That •ere Spanish lrlsher Is a-walt!n' him aboard." Silver pulled the tarpaulin from over our heads. "Here, George Merry, can't you and your mates handle the big fellow? Two to his head and two to his feetand drop him easy or he'll stove In Now, my gentleman-" the boat. this to me--"we'll pass you down, too. You must pull a strong oar with the captain for him to be so anxious to get you offshore hale and whole. It'll be place and rank for you, messmate, or a chance to swim wl' the sharks. "Where's the red-headed little Irlsher, Bill?" "I sent him off with the captain," replied Bones. "Down w!' you, John. We'll cast off.'' From where I now lay, propped up In the bow with my head resting on Peter's huge stomach, I could see the wharf a few feet above and the '·ague ftgures of the pirates and behind them the shadowy outline of the warehouses and an occasional dim light. Sliver lowered himself to a seat upon the strlngp!ece of the wharf, dropped the butt of his crutch to the forward th'll•art, felt about with bls one leg and came to rest In front of Peter and me. The crutch he allowed to slip to the bottom of the boat, and In Ita place he took an oar. Blll Bones found a seat In the stern sheets. "All clear,'' muttered Blll. "Give way." The oars fended otr from the 'll'harf, and the boat crept out Into the stream, where It felt the full strength of the tide, just beginning to turn. The bow bounced up as the first wave htt It, and Peter, beneath me, emitted a dismal groan through his gag. Silver, bending dlllgent!y to his oar, looked over his shoulder. "You would come, messmate," be said. "'Tis nobody's fault but your own." Another groan from Peter, and be Jay still. "Look sharp,'' called Bones. "The brig's just ahead.'' A rtdlng light gleamed hlrb above ua 1n the velvet poom. I heard tha ARTHUR D. HOWDEN SMITH faint slap-slap-slap of water against an anchored bull. As we rounded under her counter a couple of" ropes rattled down to us, and I heard the creaking of tackle and holst. "Make fast the younK 'un first," rasped Bones. "Aye, aye, Bill," answered Silver, and I bel'ame conscious that the onelegged man and another were knotting a loose rope beneath my arm-pits. "All right, aboye there?" called Silver presently. The block began to whine. The rope tautened ; the unseen block whined louder; and I rose Involuntarily from my position across Peter's belly. Jlfy feet were Jerked from a The thwart, and I kicked the air. grunts of men hauling In unison ftolrt· ed from the brig's deck, and as I rose faster I commenced to swing like a pendulum. Inside of a minute I was dangling over the bulwarks, feet kickIng frantically for standing room. A man caught me by one arm and drew me Inboard, shouting the while to "slacken away!" and so I came down again with a bump that was like to crack my knee-cap8, deposited as so much cargo upon the pitchy deck.
