CHAPTER XII (Continued.)

“What is the land ?”’ I asked one of the corsairs, pointing shoreward.

“Thou shalt know soon enough,” he eraried, and concluding the fellow was right, questions.

Meanwhile the unloading of the brig went on apace. A score of small boats lay round her to receive the rlunder, and some thirty or forty men swore on her decks and ravaged her held. They quarrelled incessantly, shouting, pushing, kicking, brandish- ing knives and cutlasses and pouring out curdling maledictions and threats that to a less fervid race could mean nothing short of an instant to revel in blood, but never staying the main operations to settle personal disputes.

when he has leisure for prayers out- side, loud talker about the duty of

obedience to God and the prophet, he:

is the very flower of brigands and bandits when he can securely iay hands on another man’s goods. Nor

does he heed discipline more than re- ligion, for whatever deference he may profess for authority pillage transforms him into a rebel.

No sooner had the band about got to work than it was a howling, disorganized mob, regardless alike of leader, order, and unity of interest.

Civilization teaches the value of con- certed action. The barbarian lacks the art to understand the use of combina- tion in crime. The art and policy of a judicious division of spoils are be- yond him. Consequently in that scene of clamorous contention each rogue simply seized and made off with what he could gather, defending his booty with tooth and claw after the manner of his fellow-savages, the wolf and tiger. Standing idly by I took a grim delight in noting how they thwarted and hindered themselves, and what time and energy ihey devoted to boot- less scuffling.

As the cargo diminished the struggle grew hotter and the hubbub louder. Curses and recriminations rose shrill and fierce, faces were black and swol-

len with avarice, eyes abiaze with anger, and I really thought the thing would end in a flood of gore. ‘““Wouldst thou have all, O son of a dog, and leave none to me ?” “TIT will let thy life out ere parting with an} ounce weight to thee.” ‘*May Azrael

(the angel of death) seize thee and drag

thee to perdition, thou foul thief.’ “Ca- | lamity make thy leg bare.” ** May scorpions eat thy heart out, thou w™n- just man.” “Malec (the keeper of Hades) have t -eternally in his keep- ing.” ‘May thy hands rot for their greediness, OQ most wicked of robbers.” “Mayest thou seethe in the fiery flood,” such were some of the cries with which ! the pillagers carried on their scramble.

In the midst of the strife, when the tumult was at its height, and the com- nanv so intent on clutching and tear- ‘from each other that they had ni eves for nything else, suddenly thers rang out a startled cry that sent bur- dens roliing on the deck and hands gripping in girdles for pistol or blade.

“Enemy, enemy !” yelled a man who chanced to look out to sea, and sure enough there, less than a tenth ‘ I Ligue off, were two lars’ boats fu! of men coming swiftly toward us un- der the combined impulsion of sail and oar. Perhaps a sixth of a leagu¢ beyond these rode at an ‘hor a vess¢ of strange rig and build, from wi ; it was plain they had come.

The crew on board the Bird of Para @ise acted with the valour of surprised thieves Evidently of the mind that half a loaf is better than no bread, many of them leaped into the boats alongside and tried to make off with what booty they had manage i to se cure. But before they could get away the strangers were among them, and in a twinkling half the boa S$ were floating keel up. It was surprising to eee the rapidity with w hich boat after boat canted over and emptied = tents, human and inanimate, into the sea A push, the touch of an oar, a jerk on bows or stern seemed to do it. But skill always gives an idea ef ease, and it was plain the present

performers were playing familiar parts.

puaying nide anda seek about tne masts.

At this signal of surrender weapons were put up with a promptness that would have astonished one entirely ig- norant of Arab ways, and with one ac- cord all hands—first-comers and last alike—fell to the old game, only that now instead of being lowered into boats the goods were thrown into the sea, which was soon quickly mottled with bales and boxes. It did not take long to relieve the brig of her cargo, and as soon as the last bale was over- board the robbers followed it to con- tinue the scrimmage outside.

For who remained on the brig there was no lack of entertainment. There was exhilaration, amounting at times to ar leasurable excitement, in watching the nimbleness and straits of the combatants, and the frequency with which booty changed hands. The incidents were often such as would

me

have made a crowd of spectators on shore roar with delight. Now there would be a knot of men inextricably

entangled as it might seem, and just as you thought the lot must go down together, a lucky boat would dart clear. Then there would be exciting pursuit and capture, or the runaway, giving all its attention to its pursuers, would rush into the clutches of a skirmisher lying in wait on the outskirts.

Again a cluster of boats would be locked into a sort of pontoon bridge, which would sway and rock for awhile, till in the energy of the action it would suddenly tilt or careen, pitching men and goods into the water. Or again two men wrestling would lose their balance and turn over like re- volving buoys, to come up blinking, spluttering, and streaming at the mouth as if they were automatic pumps. Then, shaking themselves roughly like a

couple of drenched dogs, they would probably close again to repeat the same diverting performance. Thus the sport went on with endless variéty of incident, and no bloodshed that I could see to mar the enjoyment.

By degrees the combatants drew away from me, for besides the ten- dency of such a battle to spread the ebbing tide was carrying the wares out to sea, making it necessary tod fol- low them. It was clear the last-com- ers were getting most of the spoil. A few of the others, dodging and watch- ing their chance, managed to make off, carrying freight for ballast, but the frequent trips to and fro between the centre of war and tthe anchored ship told where most of the plunder was going.

There are no reapers with a tithe of the energy and speed of pirates. In spite of the time wasted in useless contention, in spite of races, captures, somersaults, and the thousand and one egregious hindrances, indulged in as might almost appear from a spirit of sheer frivolity, the harvest was quickly gathered, and very soon the only float- ing objects to be seen were the ship

with her boats near at hand, and in the distance other boats running for

life with the tide.

As the diversion declined my mind naturally reverted to my own miserable condition. What was to become of me? Was I to be left to my own de- vices with a stranded ship and no commons? And if so, what should I do ? Should I make my way ashore and risk the savageness of man and beast or remain on the brig to await develovments ?
