Hon. Charles Murphy, Post-'
"master -General, who, it is rumored, l
has intimated to Premier King nisi
willingness to accept the post of
Canadian representative in Wash -1
ington:
nearer on their northwesterly track,
the outlines of the blazing vessel grew
clearer.,
"An English ship!" he cried:
;rle scanned the, seas for the con-
gueror in, the battle of . which this
grim evidence was added to that of
the sounds. they had, heard, and then
at 'last, as, they drew closer to the
doomed vessel; they made out the
shadowy outlines of three tall ships,
Some three or four miles away, stand-
ing in toward Port Royal. Pitt, who
through the telescope was examining
-the, receding squadron, observed
timings apparent only to the eye of the
trained mariner, and make ihe incred-

thes9 three vessels was Rivarol's Vic-
torieuse. Theytook in sail and hove
to -as they came 'up with the drifting
boats, laden to `capacity with surviv-
ors.
CHAPTER XXVI
THE SERVICE OF KING
WILLIAM
One of, the boats bumped alongside
the Arabella,, and up: the entrance lad-
der came" first a slight, ,spruce' little
gentleman in a coat of mulberry sa-
tin laced with gold, whose wizened,
yellow, rather peevish face was fram
ed in a heavy black periwig. ' His
modish and costly apparel had nowise
suffered ;,by the . adventure through
which • he ,had. ,passed, and he carried
himself with ,the easy assurance of a
rnan of rank. He was closely, follow-
ed by one who in every particular,
save that of age, was the physical op-
'pbsite, corpulent in a brawny, vigor-
ous way, with a full, round, weatiier-
beaten face whose mouth was humor-
ous and whose eyes were blue and
twinkling.
As the little man stepped from the.
ladder into': the waist, whither Captain
X31ood had gone 'to receive him, his
sharp, ferrety dark eyes swept the un-
couth ranks of the assembled crew of'.
the Arabella.
"And where the devil may I be
now?" he demanded' irritably, "Are
you English,' or what the devil are
you?"
' "Myself, I have the honour to ' be
Irish, sir. My name is :Blood—Cap-
tain Peter Blood, and this is'my ship,
the Arabella, all very much at your
service`"
`-`•Blood!" shrilled the little ` man.
"0 'Sblood! A pirate!" He • swung
to the Colossus who followed him.—
"A damned' pirate,van der Kuyleii.
Rend my vitals, but we're come from
Scylla to Charybdis."
"So"? said the ether gutturally, and
again, "So?" Then the humour of it
took him,<and he yielded to it.
"Damrne! What's to laugh at, „you
porpise?" • spluttered mulberry -coat,
"A, fine tale this'll make at home!
Admiral van *der Kuylen first loses
his fleet" in the night, then _ has his
flagship fired under him by a French
squadron, and ends all by being ; cap -
tiered by
aptinredby a pirate, I'm glad you find
it matter for laugher. Since for my
sins I happen to •be, with you, I'm
damned if 1 do."
"There's a misapprehension, if I
nnay make so bold as to point it out,"
put in Blood quietly, "You are not
captured, gentlemen; you are rescued,
When yoti realize it, perhaps it will
occur to you to acknowledge the hos-
pitality I am offering you, It may be
poor, but it is the best at my dispos-
al,"
"Dammel Do you permit yourself
to be ironical?" he disapproved, -him.
"I ani Lord Willoughby, King 'Viril
Hair's Governor-General of the West,
Indies, and this is Admiral van der
Kuylen, commander of His. Majesty's
West- Indian fleet, at present mislaid
somewhere inthis dunned Caribbean

' "King William?" quoth Blood,
"And who may be ring William, and
of what May he be ;Ging?"
"1 ani alluding to His Majesty King
William III—William of O arnge--w

ing England .for two months and

"';;life! :FTad:u't you !'ward? Where

Briefly he gave an account, After;
that, with renewed assurances that
aboard his ship they should bo hon-

the Governor-General and the Adm+r-
id to his .cabin, what time the work of,
rescue went on.
"Co home, if you will said lis
lordship when comfortable. fiere is
a great chance for you, sinoe you de
dare yourself sick of piracy. Should
you choose to serve • King William:
out here during this war, your know-
ledge of the West Indies should ren-
der you a very valuable servant to
His Infajesty's Government, which you
would not find ungrateful. You
shouldconsider it. Dainme, sir 1.rc-
peat; it is a great chance you are
given."
Pitt came in to report that the,work
of rescue was at an end, and the men
picked tip --some forty-five in all.
safe aboard the two buccaneer ships.
He asked for,or-de.rs. Blood 'rose.
"I am negligent of your lordship's
concerns In my consideration of my,
own. You'll be wishing me to land'
you at Port Royal."
"At Port Royal?" The little man
squirmedwrathfully on his " seat.
Wrathfully and at length he informed•.
Blood that they had put into Port Ro-
yal last evening . to and its Deputy-
Governor absent,. "He had gone on
some wildgoose chase to Tortuga af-
ter buccaneers, 'taking' the whole of
the fleet with him."
" "Is Riverol aware of this?" Blood
cried sharply.
It was the'Dutch Admiral who an-
swered him. "Vould he go dere if he
were not? M. de Rivarol he take seine
ofour men prisoners. Berhaps dey
dell him. Berhaps he make dem tell.
Id is a great obbordunidy."
