X SYNOPSIS In 1690, following th? death of Sir John Harradine, Captain-Gen eral of the Leeward Isles, his beautiful daughter, Priscilla, leaves for England aboard the “Centaur,” accompanied by the pompous, middleaged Maior Sands, her father’s aide, who seeks Priscilla’s hand and fortune. The Major resents Priscilla’s interest in their fellowpassenger, Charles de Bernis, fascinating and mysterious French-1 man, and seeks in vain to belittle him. De Bernis wanted to disembark at Guadeloupe, but Captain Bransome refuses to go to that pirate-infested port and offers to drop him at Sainte Croix instead. Learning that the handsome Frenchman once sailed with Henry Morgan, the notorious buccaneer, now Governor of Jamaica, Major Sands calls De Bernis a pirate, adding that Morgan and his cutthroats were just bloodthirsty, thieving scoundrels. Morgan, how- . ever, had given up preying on ships to enter his King’s employ and rid the sea of pirates. In spite of Morgan’s endeavors, a few still eluded him and the authorities suggested he might be playing a double game and receiving tribute from those still at large. Morgan has offered a large reward for the capture of Tom Leach, a brutal, remorseless ' scoundrel, who sails the Caribbean in a powerful ship . . . “The Black Swan” . . . wreaking havoc. The morning following the Major’s upbraiding of Morgan and De Bernis, “The Black Swan” crosses the “Centaur’s” path. Ignoring the ad- [ vice of De Bernis that they continue their course with the hope of outsailing the pirate ship, the cap- : tain orders his vessel turned about and heads south, “The Black Swan” is closing the gap. in despair, Capt Bransome turns to De Bernis, who says they must fight. The Frcfnchman takes charge of the guns. Priscilla breakfasts in the cabin ignorant of approaching danger and the activities in the ward-room. CHAPTER ELEVEN Down there in the sweltering gloom, where men moved bowed like apes for lack of head room, the Frenchman had been briskly at work. The ten guns with which he was to challenge the Black Swan’s forty, waited, their leaden aprons removed, their touch-holes primed, all ready to be touched off. ’De Bernis had laid them himself, approximately, so as to fire high and sweep the shrouds of the pursuer. The broad target of her sails offered him an infinitely better chance of crippling her than hecould hope to achieve by a shot aimed at her hull of which so little would be presented to him. If he could th* injure her sailing power, it would afterwards be tlieirs to elect whether to be content to escape. or whether to stay-to tackle her with the advantage of unimpaired mobility From the wardroom ports astern, crouching beside one ot the brass stern-chasers which had moved his scorn, Monsieur de Bernis watched the pirate racing after them and rapidly lessening the gap between. ’I hus an hour passed, counting from the moment when the Centaur had gone about. The Black Swan was overhauling its prey even more swiftly than Monsieur de Bernis had reckoned possible Very soon now she was less than half a mile astern, and Monsieur de Bernis judged that they were within range. He sent the wardroom gunnerforward, to warn Purvey to stand ready, and waited in growing impatience for Bransome to put up his helm But moments passed, and still the Centaur held to he< course,

maintenance of a ladies' rest room in the city mnl numerous other minor activities. The presentation of the play and the annual mer-chant-teachers basket hall game arc the only two sources of revenue which the dub has.

I "We don't want money,” the bandits told their victims "All we want is good used cars.'' Tell the owners they can have them back in 10 days. We’ll be through with them by then."

as if Bransome had no thought but to continue running. Then from below the pirate’s beak-head came a white bulge of smoke, followed half a hcarf-beat later by the boom of a gun. A shower of spray was flung up by a round shot, taking the water fifty yards astern of the Centaur. To de Bernis this was like a call to action, and so he judged that it must be to Bransome. Quitting his observation post, he sped forward to the gun-deck, where the matches glowed in the gloom, as the gunners blew upon them. And there he waited for the Black Swan tc come into view of the larboard gunports. In the cabin above, that single : shot had disturbed the complacency . of the watchers on the stern-locker. They stared blankly at each other in their uneasy surprise, the soldier vehemently desiring his vitals to be slabbed. Then Miss Priscilla sprang to her feet, and together they went or. deck to seek an explanation. , They were allowed, however, to i go no farther than the waist, where they were met by the grim faces i of the mustered seamen. They • needed no other confirmation of r their fears that here all wap not well. They received it, nevertheless, . in the order to return at once be- . low, roared at them by the Captain , from the quarter-deck. i The 'Major’s face empurpled Re spoke between remffnstrance and • indignation. “Captain! Captain!” And then he added the question: “What is happening here?" , “Trouble is happening!" he was . fiercely infornted “Take the lady out of it- Get below decks, where she’ll be under cover.” The Major threw a chest, and advanced a step on legs that were stiff with dignity. “I demand to know. ” he began. And there the thunder of another gun interrupted him. This time the spray from the shot rattled against the timbers of their larboard quarter. “Will you stay until a falling spar or worse strikes you across your foolish head? D’ye need to be told that we’re in action? Get the lady under cover, man.” Priscilla tugged at the Major’s red sleeve. She was very white, and undoubtedly afraid. Yet ail that she said to him was: "Come, Bart. We

embarrass them. Take me back.’,’ Despite simmering resentment of the tone the Captain had taken with him, he obeyed her without further argument. The suddenness of this troubling of their serenity bewildered him. Also, although Major Sands was brave enough ashore, he experienced here a daunting clutch at his heart from his sense of helplessness on an element that was foreign to him and in a form of warfare of which he knew nothing. Nor did the presence of Miss Priscilla help to encourage him. The sense of responsibility for her safety increased his discomfort. Before he had reconducted her, • seaman standing by had muttered to him that they were being chased by that scoundrel Tom Leach. Back in the great cabin, staring ■ once more from her stern-ports at . the oncoming enemy, the Major dissembled his dismay with the laudable aim of reassuring Miss Priscilla. He strove to quiet her alarm with assurances in which he, himself, had no faith. And at the same time, on the quarter-deck, de Bernis, who in ■ furious impatience had come up from below, was demanding to . know what Bransome might be waiting for, and peremptorily or- ! dering him to reef his topsails and bring the Centaur up to the wind . so that her guns might come into I action. ■ “You’re surely mad," the Captain ! answered him, “She’ll be upon us before we can get under way ; again.” v “That’s because ye’ve delayed overlong already. Ye’ve increased the risk. That’s all. But we mutt . take it. We stake all now upon my ■ chance to cripple her sailing power. Come, man! There’s no more time to lose. Never mind reefing. Put up i your helm, and leave the rest to . me.” Between an instinctive reluctance to a manoeuvre that was a pure gambler’s throw and resentment ; aroused by the Frenchman’s hectoring tone, Captain Bransome was perversely indignant. “Get off my quarter-deck!” he roared. “Do you command this ship, sir, or do 1?” (To Be Continued) Copyright, 1932, hy Ratad Sabatini Distributed by Kina I’catutM Syud’-'atr inc.
