McHr.de sprang to the rescue. The eagle suddenly mane a pass at him, and cl.pped his left ear off with one of its talons. McBride, regardless of the pain, landed upon tho eagles neck, but the blow fell short and was ineffective. It was a scientific battle. The eagle seemed to be famdiar with the rules and knew a foul. Thero was no referee; tiiere were no seconds, lion nd after round was fought with tho victory hanging in the balance. When the bird it ad made several passes at McBride it would fly to the top of the barn, rest for a moment and then dash at its work aga n. As tiie battle progressed Me Hr de began to grow weak lrom loss of blood, there be ug many uglv wounds upon his person made by tiie wicked talons of tlio vicious bird. Tne eagle, loo, became) more unsteady iu its ffigbt. Up to this time McBride hud been unabie to get bold of any' thing in the shape of a club, his hands being his only means of defense. To call tor assistance would bo useless, win!,; to turn and run meant sum death.

The eagle fluttered its wings wildly, uttpred screeches and to tho floor in a dazed way, but dropped regained itself, headed for the, open door and rapidly flew away. McBride was so used up that ho was unable to follow up liis advantage, nnd lie, too, collapsed all in a heap upon the bam floor at tho same t nio tiiat the eagle did. Had the bird cot been so badly si untied and had it noticed McBrides defenseless condition it could have lin'shcd him. But it was vanquished, and retro tiled as soou as the battle was decided. McBride dragged himself to liis house more dead than alive, where ho lnd his wounds drcsed nnd is now nursing them, and expat'ating upon the points of the fight to his neighbors. ab.-aii- ce 1 I When the crew of the second boat rcaelic the brig aud went over tiie rail they were received with a cheer, Put in tt few mi nines both boats, crammed full of men left tho brig fir tiie ship.
