above the water -line. Meanwhile,
the Frenchmen going about, gave the
"y - like reception to the Elizabeth. The
Arabella, indifferently served by the
wind, pressed forward to come to
grips. But before she could accom-
plish her object, the Victorieuse had
'loaded her starboard guns again, and
pounded her advancing enemy with a
second broadside at close quarters.
Amid the thunder of cannon, the
rending of timbers, and the screams
of maimed men, the half -wrecked

Rivarol's ships, and all the time the
air had been aquiver with the' roar of
guns from sea and land, announcing
that battle was joined between the
French and the defenders of Port
Royal. That long, inactive waiting
was straining the nerves of both Lord
Willoughby and van der' Kuylen.
Blood faced them, smiling confident-
ly. "It's this way, . now; , there's
nothing at all to be gained by 'preci-
pitancy,. and a deal to be 'gained' by
delaying, as I. shall show you, I
hope. Sure, it'll be time enough to

himself, and a score of sturdy rogues
whom his whistle had summoned,
were crouching for shelter amid the
wreckage of the forecastle with grail-
nets ;ready. Within seven or eight
yards of the •Victorieese, when their
way seemed spent, and their forward
deck already awash under the eyes of
the jeering, cheering Frenchmen,
those men leapt up and forward, and
hurled . their 'grapnels across the

threw themselves upon: the chain of

clarion call:

French soldiers who, unable to dis-
lodge the irons, firmly held where
they had deeply bitten into the tim-
bers of the Victorieuse were themsel-
ves preparing to fire upon. the grap-
nel crew.
Starboard to starboard the two
ships swung against each other with
a jarring thud. The advance guard
of'. boarders, a hundred strong; were
ordered to the poop, grapnel -men
were posted, and prompt to obey
Blood's conenmand at the very moment
of impact. As a result, •the founder-
ing Arabella was literally kept afloat
by the half-dozen grapnels that in an
instant moored her firmly to the. Vic-
torieuse.
Led .now by Blood himself, • they
launched themselves upon the French
like hounds upon the stag they have
brought to bay. For fully half -un
hour that battle raged aboard the
Frenchman. The " French resis't'ed
stubbornly, and they had the advant-
age of numbers to encourage thein.
But for all their stubborn valor, they
ended by being pressed back and back
across the decks- that . were danger-
ously canted to starboard by the pull
of the water-logged Arabella. The
buccaneers fought with the desperate
fury of men who know that retreat
is ifii'jj;sible, for there was no slip
to which they could retreat, and here
they must prevail and make the Vic-
torieuse their own, or. perish.
And their own they made her inthe
end, and at cost of nearly half' their
numbers. Driven to the quarter-
deck, the surviving defenders urged
on by the infuriated Rivarol, main-
tained awhile their desperate resis-
tance. But in the end, Rivarol went
down with a bullet in his head, and
the French remnant, numbering scar-
cely a score of .whole. inen, called for
quarter. '
Even then the labors of Blood's
men were not at an end, The Eliza-
beth and, the Medusa, • weretight-
locked, and. Hagthrope's •: followers,

measures were demanded. Whilst

grapnel's to be loosed at onee. Lord
