PART IV.
CHAPTER XVn.
Narrative continued rt the
doctor - the jolly-boat-s last
TRIP.
This fifth t rip was quite different from
any of tJie others. Iu the first place, the
little gallipot of u boat that we were in
was gravely overloaded. Five grown
nien, and three of them—-Trelawney,
Redruth and the captain—over six feet
high, was already more than she was
meant to carry. Add to that the pow-
ier. pork and the bread-bags. The
gunwale was lipping astern. Several
times we shipped a little water, and my
breeches and the tails of my coat were
all soaking wet before we had gone 10U
yards.
The captain made us trim the boat,
and we got her to lie a little more even-
ly. All the same, we were afraid to
breathe.
In the second place, the ebb was now
making—a strong ripplingcurrent run-
ning westward through the basin, and
then south'ard and seaward down the
straits by which we had entered Ln the
morning. Even the ripples were n dan-
ger to our overloaded craft; but the
worst of it was that we were swept out
of our true course, and away from our
proper landing-place behind the point.
If we let the current have its way we
should come ashore beside the gigs,
where the pirates might appear at any
moment.
"1 canno-t keep her head for the
stockade, sir." said 1 to the captain. 1
was steering, while he and Redruth,
two fresh men. were at the oars. "The
tide keeps washing her down. Could
you pull a little stronger?"
"Not without swamping the boat,"
said ke. "You must bear up. sir, if you
please—bear up until you see you're
gaining."
I tried, and found by experiment that
the tide kept sweeping us westward un-
til I had laid her head due east, or just
about right angles to the way we ought
to go.
"We'll never get ashore at this rate,"
said I.
"If it's the only course that we can
lie, sir, we must even lie it," returned
the captain. "We must keep upstream.
Yon see, sir," he went on, "if once we
dropped to leeward of the landing-
place, it's hard to say where we should
get. ashore, besides the chance of be-
ing boarded by the gigs; whereas, the
*vay we go the current must slacken,
and then we can dodge back along the
shore."
"The current's less a'ready, sir," said
the man Gray, who was sitting in the
fore-sheets; "you can ease her off a bit."
"Thank you, my man," said I, quite as
if nothing had happened; for we had
all quietly made up our minds to treat
him like one of ourselves*
Suddenly the captain spoke up again,
and I thought his voice was a little
changed.
"The gun!" said he.
"1 have thought of that," said I, for I
made sure he was thinking of a bom-
bardment of the fort. "They could
never get tflie gun ashore, and if they
did, they could never liaul it through
the woods."
"Look astern, doctor," replied the
captain.
We had entirely forgotten the long
nine; and there, to our horror, were the
five rogues busy about her, getting off
her jacket, as they called the stout
tarpaulin cover under wfhieh she
sailed. Not only that, but it (lushed into
my mind at the same moment that the
round shot and the powder for the gun
had been left behind, and a stroke with
an ax would put it all into the posses-
sion of the evil ones aboard.
"Israel was Flint's gunner," said
Gray, hoarsely.
At any risk, we put the boat's head
direct for the landing-place. By this
time we had got so far out of the run
of the current that we kept steerage
way even at our necessarily gentle rate
of rowing, and I could keep her steady
for the goal. Dut the worst, of it was
that, with the course I now held, we
turned our broadside instead of our
stern to the "Ilispaniola," and offered a
target like a barn door.
1 could hear, as well as sec, that,
brandy-faced rascal, Israel Ilnnds,
plumping down a round-shot on the
deck.
"Who's the best shot?" asked the
captain.
"Mr. Trelawney, out and away," said
I.
"Mr. Trelawney, will you please pick
me off one of those men, sir? Hands,
if possible," said the captain.
Trelawney was as cold as steel. He
looked to the priming of his gun.
"Now," cried the captain, "easy with
that gun, sir, or you'll swamp the boat.
All hands stand by to trim her when he
aims."
The squire raised his gun, the rowing
ceased, and we leaned over to the other
side to keep the balance, and all was so
nicely contrived that we did not ship
a drop.
They had the gun, by this time,
slewed round upon the swivel and
Hands, who was at the muzzle with the
rammer, was, in consequence, the most
exposed. However, we had no luck;
for just as Trelawney fired, down he
stooped, the ball whistling over him,
and it was oue of the other four who
fell.
The cry he gave was echoed, not only
by his companions on board, but by a
great number of voices from the shore,
and looking in that direction I saw the
other pirates trooping out from
among the trees and tumbling into
their places in the boats.
"Here come the gigs, sir," said I.
"Give way, then," said the captain.
"We mustn't mind if we swamp her
now . If we can't get ashore, nil's up."
"Only one of tlic gigs is being
nincned. sir." 1 added, "the crew of the
other most likely going round by
shore to cut us off."
"They'll have a hot run. sir," re-
turned the captain; "Jack ashore, you
know. It's not them 1 mind; it's the
round-shot. Carpet bowls! My lady's
maid couldn't miss. Tell us, squire,
when you sec the match, and we'll hold
water."
In the meanw hile we had been mak-
ing headway at a good pace for a boat
so overloaded, and we had shipped but
little water in the process. We were
now close in; 30 or 40 strokes and we i
should beach her; for the ebb had al- our party by a score of years; and now,
ready disclosed a narrow belt of sand sullen, old, serviceable servant, it was

was no longer to be feared; the little The squire dropped down beside him

eyes. The ebb-tide, which had so j ing like a child.
cruelly delayed us, was now making
reparation, and delaying our assail-
ants. The one source of danger was
the gun.
"If 1 durst," said the captain, "I'd
stop and pick off another man."
lbit it was plain that they meant
nothing should delay their shot. They I
had never so much as looked at their
fallen comrade, though he was not
dead, and I could see hiui trying to
crawl away.
"Ready!" cried the squire.
"Hold!" cried the captain, quick ns
an echo.
And he and Redruth backed with a
great heave that sent her stern bodily
under water. The report fell in at the
same instant of time. This was the
lirst that Jim heard, the sound of the
squire's shot not having reached him.
When the ball passed, not one of us
precisely knew; but I fancy it must
have been over our heads, and that the
wind of it may have contributed to our
disaster.
At any rate, the boat sunk by the
stern, quite gently, in three feet of wa-
ter, leaving the captain and myself,
facing each other, on our feet. The
other three took complete headers, and
came up again, drenched and bubbling.
So far there was no great harm. No
lives were lost, and we could wade
ashore in safety. Hut there were nil
our stores in the bottom, and, to make
tilings worse, only two guns out. of
live remained in a state for service.
Mine 1 had snatched from my knees and
hold over my head, by a sort of instinct.
As for the captain, he had carried his
over his shoulder by a bandoleer, and,
lib
1 going, doctor?" he asked.
"Tom, my man," said 1, "you're go-
ing home."
"1 wish I had a lick at them with the
gun first," he replied.
"Tom," said the squire, "suy you for-
give me, won't you?"
"Would that be respectful like, from
me to you, squire?" was the answer.
"Howsoever, so be it, amen!"
After a little while of silence, he said
he thought somebody might read a
prayer. "It's the custom, sir," he add-
ed, apologetically. And not long after,
without another word, he passed away.
Iu the meantime the captain, whom
1 had observed to be wonderfully
swollen about the chest and pockets,
had turned out a great many various
stores—the British colors, a Bible, a
coil of stoutish rope, pen, ink, the log
book, and pounds of tobacco. He had
found a longisli fir tree lying felled and
cleared in the inclosure, and, with the
help of Hunter, he had set it up at the
corner of the log house where the
trunks crossed and made an angle.
Then, c limbing on the roof, he hud
with his own hand bent and run up
the colors.
This seemed mightily to relieve him.
He reentered the log house and set
about counting the stores, as if noth-
ing else existed. Hut he had an eye
on Tom's passage for all that; and as
soon as all was over came forward with
another flag and reverently spread it
on the body.
"Don't you take on, sir," he said,
shaking the squire's hand. "All's well
with him; no fear for a hand that s
been shot down in his duty to captain

three had gone down with the boat.1
To add to our concern we heard voices
already drawing near us in the woods
along shore; and we had not only the
danger of being cut off from the stock-
ade in our half-crippled state, but the
fear before us, whether if Hunter and
Joyce were attacked by half a dozen
they would have the sense and conduct
to stand firm. Hunter was steady,
that we knew; Joyce was a doubtful
case—a pleasant, polite man for a valet,
and to brush one's clothes, but not en-
tirely fitted for a man-of-war.
With all this in our minds, we waded
ashore as fast as we could, leaving be-
hind the poor jolly-boat, and a good
half of our powder and provisions.
CHAPTER XVIII.
NARRATIVE CONTINUED BY THE
DOCTOR-END OF THE FIRST DAY'S
FIGHTING.
We made our best speed across the
strip of wood that now divided us from
the stockade, and at every step we
took the voices of the buccaneers
rang nearer. Soon w e could hear their
footsteps as they ran, and the crack-
ing of the branches as they breasted
bit of thicket.
I began to see we should have a brush
for it in earnest, and looked to my prim-
ing.
"Captain," said I, "Trelawney is tin-
dead shot. Give him your gun; his
own is useless."
They exchanged guns, and Trelaw-
ney, silent and cool as lie had been since
the beginning of the bust le, hung a mo-
ment on his heel to see that all was
fit for service. At the same time, ob-
serving Gray to be unarmed, I handed
him my cutlass. It did all our hearts
good to see him spit on his hand, knit
his brows, and make the blade sing
through the air. It was plain from
every line of his body that our new
hand was worth his salt.
Forty paces further we came to the
edge of the wood and saw the stockade
in front of us. We struck the inclos-
ure about the middle of the south side,
and, almost at the same time seven mu-
tineers—Job Anderson, the boatswain,
at their head, appeared in full cry at
the southwestern corner.
They paused, as if taken aback, and
before they could recover not only the
squire and I, but Hunter and Joyce
from the block-house had time to fire.
The four shots came in rather a scat-
tering volley; but they did the busi-
ness; one of the enemy actually fell,
and the rest, w ithout hesitation, turned
and plunged into the trees.
After reloading, we walked down the
outside of the palisade to see the fallen
enemy. He was stone dead—shot
through the heart.
We began to rejoice over our good
suceess, when just at that moment a
pistol cracked in the bush, a ball whis-
tled close past my ear,and poor Tom Red-
ruth stumbled and fell his full lengthon
the ground. Both the squire and I re-
turned the shot; but as we had nothing
to aim at, it is probable we only
wasted powder. Then we reloaded, and
turned our attention to poor Tom.
The captain and Gray were already
examining him, and I saw with half an
eye that all was over.
1 believe the readiness of our return
volley had scattered the mutineers once
more, for we were suffered without
further molestation to get the poor old
gamekeeper hoisted over the stockade
and carried, groaning and bleeding,
into the log house.
Poor old fellow, lie had not uttered I
one word of surprise, complaint, fear, |
or even acquiescence, from the very
beginning of our troubles till now,
when we had laid him down in the log
house to die. He had laid like a Trojan
behind his mat tress in the gallerj-; he
but it's a fact.
Then he pulled me aside.
"I)r. Livesey," he said, "in how many
weeks do you and squire expect the
consort?"
1 told him it was a question, not of
weeks, but of months; that if we w ere
not back by the end of August, Blandly
was to send to find us; but neither
sooner nor later. "You can calculate
for yourself," 1 said.
"Why, yes," returned the captain,
scratching his head, "and making a
large allowance, sir, for all the gifts of
Providence, 1 should say w e were pret-
ty close hauled."
"How do you mean?" I asked.
"It's a pity, sir, we lost the second
load. That's what 1 mean," replied
the captain. "As for powder and shot,
we'll do. Hut the rations are short,
very short -so short. Dr. Livesey, that
we're perhaps as well without that ex-
tra mouth."
And he pointed to the dead body un-
der the fiag.
Just then, with a roar and a whistle,
a round shot passed high above the
roof of the log house and plumped far
beyond us in the wood.
"Oho!" said the captain. "Blaze
away! You've little enough powder
already, my lads."
At the second trial the aim was bet-
ter and the ball descended inside, the
stockade, scattering a cloud of sand,
but doing no further damage.
"Captain," said the squire, "the
house is quite invisible from the ship.
It must be the fiag they are aiming at.
Would it not be wiser to take it in?"
"Strike my colors!" cried the cap-
tain. "No, sir. not. I;" and, as soon us
he had said the words, I think we all
agreed with him. For it was not only
:i piece of stout, sea manly good feeling;
it was good policy besides, and show ed
our enemies that we despised their
can n on ad e.
All through the evening tihey kept
thundering away. Ball after ball flew
over or fell short, or kicked up the sand
in the inclosure; but they had to fire
so high that the shot, fell dead and
buried itself in the soft sand. We had
no richochet to fear: and though one
popped in through the roof of the log-
house and out again through the floor,
we soon got used to that sort of honse-
play and minded it no more than
cricket.
"There is one thing about all this,"
observed the good captain; "the wood
in front of us is likely clear. The ebb
has made a good while; our stores
should be uncovered. Volunteers to go
and bring in pork."
Gray and Hunter were the first, to
eome forward. Well armed, tihey stole
out of the stockade, but it proved a
useless mission. The mutineers were
bolder than we fancied, or they put
more trust in Israel's gunnery. For
four or five of them were busy carry-
ing off our stores, and wading out with
them to one of the gigs that lay close
by, pulling an oar or so to hold her
steady against the current. Silver was
in the stern-sheets in command; and
every man of them was now provided
with a musket from some secret maga-
zine of their own.
The captain sat down to his log, and
here is the beginning of the entry:
"Alexander Smollett, master: David Live-
sey. ship's doctor: Abraham Gray, carpcn-
mate: John Trelawney, owner; Jonn
Hunter and Richard Joyce, owner's serv-
ants, landsmen—belnf? all that Is left faith-
ful of the ship's company-with stores for
t^n days at short rations, came ashore this
day, and flew British colors on the Ior-
hou.se In Treasure Island. Thomas Red-
ruth. owner's servant, landsman, uhot by
the mutineers; James Hawkins, cabin-
boy—"
And at the same time I was wonder-
ing over poor Jim Hawkins' fate.
A hail on the land side.
"Somebody hailing us," said Hunter,
who was on guard.
"Doctor! squire! captain! Hallo,
Hunter, is that you?" came the cries.
And I ran to the door in time to see
Jim Hawkins, safe and sound, come
climbing over the stockade.

Washington, July l.'l. Then- is ap-
prehend ou to-day that the Spaniards
may have succeeded in evacuating tin-
town before the American lines were
completed, and that when the Amen
cans enter the city it will be found
empty, with perhaps nothing more
| than a desperate rear-guar.l of
Spaniards left to protect aud con-
ceal the retreat of the main
body of troops. There were several
indications of .some such move, which
is supposed to have been in progress
for the past three or four days. Gen.
j Shatter reported under date of Sunday
| that the Spaniards evacuated a small
j town on the west side of the bay, one
I of the suburbs of Santiago, while the
; Associated press dispatches yesterday
I referred ti) the departure of a body of
Spanish troops from Santiago towards
I Ilolguin. Of course, these facts are not
conclusive that the town has been
evacuated by the Spanish army, but
the fact cannot be concealed that there
is some apprehension entertained that
the main result of the investment of
Santiago, aside from the important
achievement of driving the Spanish
squadron to its destruction, will be
the inheritance by Gen. Shaftar «>f
several thousand wounded Spanish
soldiers and many more thousand bun
grv mouths in Santiago.
Gen. Miles who arrived at Siboney
on the Vale yesterday, made the fol-
lowing report to Secretary Alger to-
day:
Arrived at noon. Had consultation with Ad-
miral Sampson and with lien. Shatter by tele-
phone. Troops brought from Tampa, Charles-
ton and New York arrived and leaving for the
front. Line of Investment being extended.
.Miles.
Gen. Miles has not taken and will
not take charge of the operations now
being conducted against Santiago. He
is simply in his capacity as command-
ing general of the army, to look over
the field and ascertain whether the
operations are going along as they
should.
The naval officers regard their part
in the operations at Santiago as at an
end practically and are looking around
for new worlds to conquer. Theireyes
arc turned to the cast and they are
rushing preparations for the dispatch
of Commodore Watson's eastern squad-
ron. This is decidedly a more attract-
ive cruise from a naval point of view
than the demonstration proposed
against San Juan de Porto Rico, which
is understood to be the next number
upon the programme, but which the
naval authorities believe will not
amount to much because of the easy
reduction of the defenses.
Every ship in Watson's squadron has
been prescribed the very latest charts,
not only of the coasts of Spain and of
the Mediterranean, but of track
courses that will take them clear to
the Philippines. In addition to this
the few officers assigned to the vessels
of this squadron, but not yet aboard,
have received orders from the depart-
ment to go to their ships at once.
Swrctary AIrit'« Opinion.
Washington, .Inly 13. —At the cabi-
net meeting to-day telegrams from
Gen. Shatter were read and discussed,
no new plan of campaign was consid-
ered or important orders given. (Jen.
Shatter's report that he had the city
of Santiago completely invested was
received with much satisfaction, as
there bad been so>ne apprehension
that the Spaniards were contemplat-
ing a night evacuation. Secretary
Altfer, on leaving the cabinet meeting
said that although Shafter's line on the
west was thin in places, be had no
doubt that it was sufficiently strong
to repel any attack the enemy was
capable of making at this time. It
was the secretary's opinion that the
Spaniards were now completely cut
off" from outside aid and it was now
only a question of prompt surrender
or a tight which would result in their
capture. It was Secretary Alger'*
opinion aS well as that of other mem-
bers of the cabinet that the Spaniards
would surrender rather than take the
risks of a general assault.

Siboney, July 12, via Jamaica, July
13.—Gen. Shatter communicated by a
signal with Rear Admiral Sampson,
requesting the latter to cease firing.
Then the general sent Gen. Wheeler
into the Spanish lines, under a Hag
of truce, with a message to Gen.
Toral, the Spanish commander,
demanding the unconditional surren-
der of the city. Several hours elapsed
before any reply was received from
Gen. Toral and then he sent a message
to Gen. Shatter to the effect that the
matter was of such great importance
that he had been obliged to refer it
to the Madrid government aud that he
would send his final answer as soon as
he could receive instructions from
Madrid. It was late in the afternoon
and Gen. Shatter gave orders to all
the troops to g< as much rest as pos-
sible and be prepared to resume the
attack at any moment.

filled with joy at finding her mother. The

mother's own words. She said:
"On the 28th of Sept., 18JH1, while in the
