the circle of the staterooms, until 1''

to my written message. I thrust It
through the narrow opening above the

within stole swiftly back to *my own
room. The action had not been seen,
and yet I had scarcely a moment to
spare. Before I could lather my face
the steward returned, bearing In his
hands tobacco and pipe.
Estada. however, remained away I
longer than I had anticipated he
would, and I was fully dressed and I
comfortably smoking before he came
down from the deck and crossed the
cabin to ray partially open door.
"The starboard watch has »be«i

charge of the deck, relieving L<?Vere.
I waited to explain the situation to
the men before you appeared. I sup

"Those black devils are apt to mis

hltu up the stairs to the deck. LeVere
was still on duty, and came forward
and shook hands at my appearance.
"ftuther glad I dldu't drown ^ou.'*'
he said, intending to be pleasant. "But

The father of the short story was

In Itself, practically marked the be
1 ginning of the short story. Boccac
Iclo was born about 1313. and his words
reflect the immoral—or unmoral1—
spirit of the times in which he lived,
and a majority of his tales are of a
character which wodld now land the

i cause of it—the "Decameron" has

cause," t answered, looking him
square la thfe eyes and determining
to make my position clear at once.
"Senor Estada tells me I am to re
lieve you. What Is..the course?"
"Sou'west by half sou'."
"Do you know your position?"
"Only In a general way. We have
held an east by south course since
leaving the capes, until an hour ago,
making about ten knots."
"Very well; I will figure It out as
best I can. There is nothing further
to report?"
"No, senor; all has heeu as It Is
now."
He glanced toward Estada, not
greatly pleased, I presume, with iny
bcusqueness, jet finding nothing lu
either words or manner from which
to evoke a quarrel. The latter had
overheard our conversation, but he
stood now with buck toward us look
ing out on the sea off the port quar
ter. His silent indifference caused
LeVere to shrug his shoulders and
disappear dowii the ladder on his way
below. 1 turned my face to the man
at the wheel—it was the giant negro,
Cocbose.
CHAPTER XV. I
The Cabin of the Namur.
Both huge, black hands grasped the
spokes, and it was evident that it re
quired all his giant strength to con
trol the bucking wheel. He was an
ugly-looking brute, the lower portion
of hlj face apelike and the wool grow
ing so low as to leave him scarcely
an inch of forehead. His eyes lifted
an Instant from the binnacle card to
glance at me curiously. They exhib
ited no flash of recognition.
Kor half an hour Estada hung/about
aft, apparently paying no attention to
me, and yet watching my movements
closely. There was little to be done,
but I thought it best to keep the watch
reasonably busy, so they might thus
learu that I knew my work. They
proved prompt and capable enough,
although I was eyed with some curi
osity when I first went forward, and,
no doubt, was very thoroughly dis
cussed behind my back. The idlers
amidships were a totally different
class—a mongrel scum, profanely
chatting in Spanish or swaggering
about the deck, their very looks a
challenge. However, they kept out
of my way, and I found no occasion
to interfere with their diversions.
After Estada left the deck the ma
jority amused themselves gambling. I
and as I had received no orders to I
Interfere I permitted the games to pro
ceed. Mendez Interfered only o»ce
on occasion of a brief fiuht. My only
Instructions from the Portuguese on
his going below was to call him at
once If a sail was sighted. Apparent
ly he was satisfied of my ability to
command the deck.
Xo occasion to call him arose dur
ing my watch. It was still daylight,
but with a purple gleam across the
waters, when LeVere arrived on deck'
for my relief. We were talking to
gether abaft the wheel when Estada
appeared in the companionwny.
"Every promise of a clear night," he
said, glancing about at the horizon.
"Better change the course two points,
LeVere; we are lying in too close to
the coast for our purpose. The table
call will come very shortly, Senor
Gates."
1 wasiieu up nastuy in my tsiate
rooiu and came out into the cabin
perplexed as to what might occur
within the next few moments. Yet
whatever the result there was no
avoiding it. My every move was one
of extreme caution.
Estada and Estevan awaited me. The
latter was all rigged out. and with
smooth black hair oiled and plastered
down upon his forehead. 1 never be
held a more disagreeable face, or one
which so thoroughly revealed the na
ture of a man. As I touched his hand,
at Estada's brief Introduction, it was
as if I fingered a snake.
( "This is your chair Gates, anu you
will find we live well aboard the Na
mur—wiue. women and song—hey,
Manuel 1 Why not. when all are at
command? Steward, you told the lady
| what my order? were. Then bid hef
[Join us."
We stood in silence, as Gunsaules
| crossed the deck and inserted a key
In the after stateroom door. Manuel
was grinning iu full enjoyment, but
, the expression on the face of Estada
I was that of griui cruelty. 1 felt my
, hands grip like iron on my chair back
I and my teeth-clinch in restraint. God,
[ but I would have liked to grip tty* fel
j low where he stood—all the bottled
up hatred In my soul struggling for
action. Yet that would only mean the
death of all hope, and I turned my
eyes away from him and stared with
the others at the opeulng door.
Out into the full light of the cabin
the woman came and baited barely a
step in advance of the steward, her
head uplifted proudly, her eyes ou us.
Never before bad I realized her beau
ty, her personality, as I did then. Her
posture was not that of defiance nor
of surrender; she stood as a woman
defending her right to respect, sus
tained by a wonderful courage. I
caught her glance, but there was no
recognition in it; not by the flicker
of an eyelid did she betray surprise,
and yet in some mysterious manner a
flash of intelligence passed between
us. It .was all iustantancous, for her
! gaze seemed to concentrate on ftstada
! as though she knew him as leader. *
J "You sent for me? For what?" she
I asked, her Spanish clear and well
1 chosen.
"To Join us at meal," he answered
unmoved. "It Is better than to remain
j fclone." -
^ "Better! You must have a st ranee
opinion of me to believe I would sit
with murderers and thieves."
"Harsh words, setiorita," and Estada
grinned grimly. "Yet I expected them.
There are many trades in the world
by which men are robbed. We only
work at the one we like best; nor will
I discuss tliut with you. However,
seuorlta. I can say that we have taken
no lives in this last affair."
"No lives!" in sudden, Incredulous
surprise. "You menn ray uncle lives?"
"If you refer to Fairfax—the one in
whose room the chest was hidden, I
can only reply truthfully that he lives.
One of my men struck him down, but
it was not a death blow. If that be
the reason of your disdain there Is no
cause. This chair is held for you."
"But why was I brought away a
prisoner? To be a plaything? A sport
for your pleasure?"
"That was but the orders of our
chief; we await his recovery to learn
his purpose."
"Sanchez! Was he your chief? A
pirate?"
"A buccaneer; we prey on the ene
mies of Spain. It was at Captain San
chez' orders we waited the arrival of
your vessel from England. He loved
you; he would no doubt have dealt
with you honorably; I have reason to
believe that to be his purpose now.
Nothing will change bis purpose. He
is that kind, and he has the power.
He determined that If you would not
conie to hlui by choice you should be
made to by force. You are here now
by his orders and will remain until
you consent to his purpose—all that
remains for you to decide is whether
you choose to be prisoner or guest
aboard."
"And If he should die?"
Estada shrugged his shoulders In
differently.
"Who knows?"
Her Hps tightened as though to hold
back a cry while one hand pressed to
the open door steadied her. There
was a look in the searching eyes I did
not like to see. It was a moment be
fore she could control her voice.
"I have heard them call you Estada.
Of what rank in this company are
you?"
"I am Pedro Estada, formerly the
first officer, now, by occasion of Cap
tain Sanchez' wound, in full commaud.
These are two of my officers—Senor
Gates, one of your own countrymen,
"Peace or War?"
and Manuel Estevan. And now that
( have answered your questions, what
Is it to be between us—peace or war?"
Her eyes dropped, and I could dis
tinctly note the trembling of her slen
der figure. When she slowly raised
her glance once more it rested on ray
face as though seeking approval, guid
ance.
"If there be only the one choice," j
she said quietly. "I accept peace. I j
cannot live locked in that room alonq :
haunted by my thoughts and memo- j
rles. If I pledge you my word, senor, I
am I to enjoy the freedom of this I
cabin and the deck?"
Estada looked at us, a shade of
doubt In his eyes. I made no sign, but
Manuel nodded.
"Why not?" he asked in his harsh
croak of a voice. "So long as we tic
at sia? What harm can the girl do?"
"Perhaps none; I will take a half
chance, at least. You shall have the
freedom of the cabin. So long as you
keep your word, while as to the deck,
we will consider that later. Prove you
mean what you say by joining us
here."
My recollection of that meal is not
of words but of faces. Estada's eye?
sought constantly the girl's face, r.nd
to my consternation exhibited nn In
terest In her personality which prom
ised trouble. I know n.<t whether she
noticed this awakening admiration,
but she certainly played her part with
quiet modesty. I believe that even
the Portuguese reached the conclusion
that she was not altogether regretful
for this adventure and that it was safe
for him to relax some degree of vigi
lance. His manner became more gra
cious, and long before the meal ended
his language had a tendency to com
pliment and flatter. I contented my
self with occasional sentence.;. The
young woman sat directly across from
me, our words overheard by all, and
as I knfew both men possessed some
slight knowledge of English I dare not
venture beyond commonplace conver
sation In that tongue. With quick wit
she took her cue from me, so that
' nothing passed between us, either by
word of mouth or glance of eye, to
arouse suspicions.
Believing the feeling of confidence
would be increased by such action, I
was first to leave the table, and it be
ing my watch below immediately re
tired to my room, noisily closing the
door after me, yet refraining from let
ting the latch catch, thus enjoying a
slight opening through which to both
see and hear. Manuel did not linger
Ions, making some excuse to go for
ward, but Estada remained for some
time, endeavoring to entertain. Ilia
egotism made a fool of the man, yet
even he finally became discouraged of
making her comprehend his meaning,
and lapsed into a silence which gave
her an excuse to retire. This was ac
complished 60 graciously as to leave
no sting, the fellow actually accom
panying her to the door of her state
room, bowing his compliments as she
disappeared within. The fool actu
ally believed he had made a conquest
and preened himself like a turkey
cock.
"Gunsaules, you need not lock the
senorlta In her room or guard her in
any way hereafter. She is permitted
to come and go as she pleases aboard."
Estada entered his own stateroom,
leaving the door ajar. When he came
out he had exchanged his coat for a
rough Jacket. Thus attired for u turn
on deck, he disappeared through the
companion.
