But the Malay was In deadly earnest, and closing down on the captain, cut him In skull-deep furrows aiWos* the •trail and face, are I slashed his shoulders, driving him hack to the cahln floor. As the captain’s fool reached the floor he slipped In a pool of hia own blood. W ren the Malay stabbed him In the left sl-ie and gave the knife a twist that opened up the flesh until the lungs pro truded. Nevertheless, the captain man aged to strike hack with his Art. ami. luckily, knocked the Malay across the • uldn, landing him with a hang against the further bulkhead. In this Way the captain was able to retreat to'hls state room. where be had some revolvers, and •he Malay ran on deck. The light began Juat after midnight n n Sunday morning.

A little later the Chinaman got a shot that diove a Malay within range of the sailor, who sent a bullet through ths **!■** breast Staggering to the rail, hi plunged overboard.

Hw could only get out his boats, fill them with supplies and head away for Ht. Helena, where, however, he fortunately arrived safely. It waa plainly it love of blood only that had started these Malay* on their raid. Mobniumrdaa l.ovr of Heath. According to tho histories, our pirate clt- Igcns came to Hutu Island front Borneo at about the time Spain took pnesesslon of iAixon. They were Malays by birth and Mohammedans In religion. Tltey very quickly dominated the Hulu group and Mlndtnao. for they were as aggressive and apuble aw the old Vikings When the Spaniards undertook the task of subduing the Bulu Islands by the methods that had been successful In the West Indies, they found these Malays of very different metal. The Malays not only defeated every Spaniard force sent to them, but with every monsoon they sent thetr great rowboat*, that they handl'd with Vlktnic skill and tburafe, to devastate the Span ish-held coasts. No fiercer pirates than these ever went afloat, hecause bloodshed was a part of their religion. No man could be a chief among them till he had lopped olf the heada of sixty unbelievers. The (Spanish men who were captured were always kill ed, the women were sent to the harems, and the young children were enslaved Not until breeeh-loodlng and rapid-fire weapon* came Into use did the Spanish get even a foothold In the Bulu archipelago. (Jen. Arolai, a Republican, was sent there some time In the eighties by the monarch ists. who expected him to die, but he liv ed and established the Spanish power there. Then the government sent a near ruler—one of the Weyler sort—to replace him, with the result that the pirates, within a few months, killed him and al most his entire force. A Malay chief lit erally spilt his skull open down to hi* teeth In the presence of all the Spanish troops, and at that signal the ctotefa fol- lowers, armed with knives only, routed and slaughtered all the Spanish troops save lucky few who escaped by flight and stealth. The Vikings of the Snath. In their piratical forays these Sulus have always been Vikings-they Invariably went afloat In long, sharp, dug-out ca noes. which were ke|W upright In a sea way by means of a Isimboo outrigger on each side. They had no less than 2UO of these craft In IM2. that ranged from twenty to thirty tons In burden, each of which was manned with from forty to tlfty men The number decreased from year to year thereafter. They used both sails and pad dles. the latter having diamond shaped holies. A eross section of one of these huge dug-out* was very nearly an equilateral triangle, the two sides r-pre senting the bottom being slightly rounded. The breadth across the outriggers was Shout eight times the beam of the ratio- The speed of the boat, whether under sail or paddle, was tremendous when tho water was smooth enough. The Most Fiendish Men I.lvina. For wea|ns afloat they had awards, knives, spears and hatchets, hut the sword and the knife were used most, the favor ite above all being the krls—a two-edged blade that Is bent to the form of a run ning serpent, the most devilish weapon known to the human race. They have always made their own weap ons. smelting the native ores with char coal tires and refining the melol until. In spile of crude processes and cruder took, they produced most excellent blades The flulu pirate readily cuts clear through an ordinary human body at one blow, end he inc'c easily spills head and neck to lha shoulders. The difficulty of taming these wild men will be understood when tlielr religion Is considered. Their hatred of Christians Is cultivated from their earl teat youth and the surest road to thetr heaven Is. In their belief, to die while killing the holed unbelt*van.

It was the rapid fire gun that first brought these pirate* under control.

A* long ago as I*o6 an Kngllshman who was taken by them and lived to tell hi* experience* found that the pirates had no kss than different ship* with guns ranging up to eighteen-pounders— some of th<m bad batteries as good aa those of an English frigate.

The-e (te ho>ter swept the whole region, but one does not need to go liack so far a* that to read of the depredations of the Chinese plrat * who used the Philippine af 'up as well a* their own coast. In the fifth* the pirates were as numerous In those open seaa as bum-boat men In the ports, as the owners of the Boston ship Celestial learned. But the Chinamen, even when not num erous. were never dreaded as were our Malave of Sulu. for the Chinaman with his Junk* had something of the semblance of a war squadron. His attack* were like an open battle. Our Malaya were not so. In flotilla* of six or eight iran* they lay In wait until they saw a ship that was becalmed, when they swiftly pad died to her. swarmed over her sides with th'lr knives in their teeth, snd then, with thetr facea differ'd to add to the terror of their assault, they rekntlessly rut the life out of every man th y tour'd The Chines# were Indeed brutal fighters.
