What do you seek aboard my ship?” “At first X sought only that which belongs to me, something of which lam being robbed. But since you chose war and opened fire on ms with some damage to my ship and loss of life to five of my, men, war it is, and your ship a prize of war.” From the quarter rail Mademoi sells d’Oregon looked down with glowing eyes in breathless wonder upon her well-beloved hero. Glori ously heroic he seemed as he stood towering there, masterful, audaci ous, beautiful. He saw her, and Svith a glad shout sprang towards her. The Dutch master got in his .way with hands upheld to arrcsi his progress. Levasseur did not stay to argue with him: he was'tee impatient to reach his mistress.

There after he swung her to his shoulder, and stepping with ease beneath that burden, bore her in a sort of triumph, lustily cheered by his men, to the deck of his own ship. Her inconsiderate brother might have ruined that romantic scene but for the watchful Cahusac, who quietly tripped him up, and then trussed him like a fowl. Thereafter, what time the Cap tain languished in his lady’s smile within the cabin, Cahusac was dealing with the spoils of war. The Dutch crew was ordered into the longboat, and bidden go to the devil. Fortunately, as they num bered fewer than thirty, the long boat, though perilously overcrowd ed, could yet contain them. Next, Cahusac having inspected the car go, put the quartermaster and a score of men aboard the Jongvrouw, and left her to follow La Fourde, which he now headed south for the Leeward Islands. The lady’s brother was presently conducted to the cabin. The Cap tain rose to receive him, bending his stalwart height to avoid strik ing the cabin roof with his head, i Mademoiselle rose, too.
