The blood I waa losing from my arm (and took it from my head, and my tamper was striO leas murderous by the tima the fellow bad come within my power. I bad traded on hia ignorance, as. had he but known my gun waa uncharged, matter "iif ht have taken a different complexion. tV w'y oidenng him below, I drew the Mule over the batch, and then, feeling my life waa ala from him, fetched a deep breath and took a look about me. The aliipe were in fair night by thin, tha one eaatward doubtleaa a troop ahip bound for New York with reenforeementa for Sir Henry Clinton, who had already begun hia call for help, and kept it up through hia administration. The ahip to the west looked to be a judging by her life and rig, but 'twaa tha third that canned me the moat aneuaineae a fine, large achooner coming down before tha wind, and now about four mile away. That tha Phantom waa her object I nowiae doubted. To paaa mjraelf aa a royalist bound from Savannah to New York with lead for hia majeaty (that being the gist of my forged papers) would hardly do in tha face of one dead man lying in the scuppers and a tingle black hand driven below. Nut 1 saw nothing else to ba dona, for to have my true colors known would be todbac liberty and property at once. To fight waa impoaaible; to ran, as far out of the question. Be the upshot what it might, my arm demanded my first attention, and I passed into It waa a light) man-of-wa- r, tha cabin, where I made a ahift to atop the How of blood, bind it up and get T into a ling. Owing to the twist of the knife 'twaa an ugly gash, though, fortunately, no artery was levered, and in the end it served me a good turn inatcad of being a aourcc of great trouble. My next step waa to get my papers into proper shape by destroying the regular clearance, and 'twaa here I discovered llie cause of tha tone of my mate, for, though then had been taken nothing of value beside, the locker allowed itself to have been rifled of the false documents. To be without credentials showing my business on the high seas were aa damning as to openly sail under the flag of the colonies, and the discovery of tha theft left me for the moment high and dry. Bethinking me, then, of the bare possibility of Lounsbury having earned the matter with him, I jumped to the deck for the purpose of overhauling hia body. A glance seaward showed the achooner now about two mile away, but bearing straight for me. I could easily Imagine the perplexity that possessed them at sight of the actions of the Phantom, for, as the helm waa still free and all plain sail made on her, she hove into the wind for a apace, and there hung in irons with a thunder of canvas overhead; then filling on tha opposite tack she staggered off, until, rounding up again, the entire performance waa repeated. For all the world she waa like a man wall clewed with liquor, using tha width of tha road in hia journeying. That which lay before ma to do must ha dona quickly. Louusbury sprawled on bis back, so that access to hia pockcta was an say matter. There was nothing in hia cava the junk carried by a seaman, though I soon discovered that around hia body waa a belt staffed full of papers. But tha stolen ones were not among them, end I felt n aenaa of hopelessness come over me as tha certainty of their loaa was forced ou my mind. But it was not for long. A hasty glance at tha belts eon tecta at once opened my eyes to the character of the man before me, and ransed me to come to a sudden determination regarding my future action. Twaa a desperate reqolve, but, saving some untoward circumstance, it insured liberty, or, si least, immunity from present imprison-- c ent, although it would put my fortune in jeopardy. It waa no time to look far beyond the present; freedom was worth more than fortune, and even that might not, in the end, be lost; so, throwing the belt overboard I placed the papers carefully in my pocket and went forward. The pistol dropped from aloft I found on the dock, and with it in my hand 1 slid back the hatch cover of the forecastle and called to the Mack to coma np. Thia he did, blinking mightily aa he atrack the strong light, wien, clapping tha weapon to hia ear, 1 tw are 1 would blow hia brains out, and, if Lrvsuary, follow him to the ends of the wo::d to do it, if he breathed a word of my cv.t having been master of the ITiantom. 1 he fellow was bound to be a source of anxiety to me 1as long as he had the power to rpcak, but could not well murder him '. ontrl v ' Fortunately, hia patois was V: i::'"l!igible to ear untrained to the southern negro, and, if my plan dia' ' would era long meet his deaerti in i.r x i i the British prison bulks, the hor ribtr r- - imitation of which waa now I have email doubt that he thought he u .a coming to hia death when I ordered him t p. for. like the slave he had once been, be ci need and writhed at my leet.

Now the headsaila being let go with a ran and hanging looae over the bow, the foresail and ila traveling blocks giving out a deafening protest against its alack sheet, the nuunsail joining in the thundering rliorua, and the wheel jerking violently hither and thither with the kick of the rudder, we were sufficiently beyond the usual order of things to suit my purpose, and my trump card, in tbe shape of a dead mao lying in the emptier, lay dear to the eye of anyone who might board us. The eight wae uncanny enough, a&d my inatinct waa to have the negro heave the body over board; but, as it waa to be a silent witness to the story I was about to tell, I let it bide, though, ae the sequel showed, twould hare saved me a sight of trouble to have followed my first impulse. 1 confess that my heartbeats took on additional fores and frequency as 1 stood and watched tbe schooner's nearer approach. She came on to within easy gunshot, and swung into the wind, nil of a Nutter from item to stem, and then lay to with her headaaila full aback. From the acarlet flag at her peak to her dean cutwater ah waa an object of beauty, though in a light air I doubt aba would have did her ked through the brine with greater speed than would the rhantom, which had been built for fleet-nes-a and rapidity in stays. With my wits by thia time well about me, and my wounds bleeding but little (aa wae shown by the few drape that now dnppad from my fingers ends), I stood by tha helm and took in every detail of tha enemy, from tha crowd at her davita to the long bram piece forward of the foremast, the gun being trained point blank at me. Tha stranger worked with the alacrity of r, for tha schooner had hardy a lost her way when I saw a boat drop from her larboard quarter and pull towaid us, while another came around her bow and fold lowed. They were both fillqd with men, aa could be seen by the glitter of musketry, and the way they came over the whitecape showed their temper. Jt showed temper, too, in the smart manner they boarded me, the first boat booking on to the main channels, the men clambering out with ecaroely a shout and no questions, and in n twinkling 1 beheld half a score of them on my deck, they, I fancy, being mightily surprised at having met with no resistance. Tha crisis was now at hand, and I played my first card with something of the desperation of a rained gambler. Striding np to an officer whom I aaw coming aft with bare word in hand, I said: Ye show scant courtesy in boarding ms, air. Ilad you turned up an hour agoos, 'twould have been to some purpose. Who in h I are you! Wheres the captain of thia ship? was the excited rejoinder. Now there was something about the tone of hie voice, the way of calling a schooner a of the man himahip, as well ae the get-uself, that, angered aa 1 waa at his reply, made me back a pace and look at him. A quick glance showed me I waa not dealing with a man bred to the sea, much less to the regular service, for, though I then had email knowledge of the uniforms of the British, 1 knew that which graced tha back of the officer before me was not of hia majesty's nary. I knew it by its cut and garniture, and the land flavor of the man lay also in tha fact that he wore a forage cap and carried a cavalry saber instead of a cutlass. Ilia face, too, lacked the true sea tan, its fair comp'rxion showing the effects of unusual exposure to on and wind. What hia rank might ba I bad iiu idea, and speculation was lost in the quick retort that naturally rose to my lipa. "Who are you, sir, to tumMa aboard a prise of hia majesty in this fashion? Ye stand in need of a lesson in marine manners as well aa marine matters. Do ye hope to judge of a crafts cargo by a squint at her hatch cover, or of a man by the cut of hie jib?
