Forward also was another boarding party of the same sable hue, yet led by a white-faced man, with a livid, stern face. As tbe one who headed the first party of boarders faced Captain Pierre he shouted in ringing tones: \ “Hol Sir Sea Marauder, I have come for my schoouer, and I bring a rope for your neck!" It was Merle Monte, and his negro crew, and with the guns in the hold, the men hidden away, and chains out to check the speed of the beautiful brigantine, they had led Captain Pierre into a trap. So astounded was Captain Pierre, that Merle . truck bis sword from his grasp before he could use if, and knocked up the pistol aimed at him. ‘‘Seize him, Mezrak!” ‘Yes, master,’ and Mezrak threw himself upon the chief, ‘and the click, click of irons showed that he was secured, and then the amazed, panic-stricken pirates were swept along the deck and remorseless!y cut down, or sprung into the sea, preferring death by drowning than at the edge of the cutlass, And aft, a touching scene was transpiring, for Vance ‘Murell, who had rusbed on deck at the beginning of the fight, and thrown in the weight of his arm, now unlocked the com. panionway. and led forth Pearl, who threw herself weeping into the arms of her father. At once the two vessels were put away for New Orleans, and the Dragon swept up to the city with the Sea Marauder, as bad been Brandt, the Buccaneer, swinging in her rig- ring. Thus Merle Monte kept his pledge, and more, he saw bow dearly Vance Murell loved Pearl, and that she at least most kindly regarded him, and he yielded her to the young officer, though she had won his heart from the first. Aud at Monte Manor there was a double wedding, for Belle Denham was also made the bride of Captain Mayo Meredith, and to the two setae Morte Monte gave a golden souve- nir well worthy of his noble nature, which always sacrificed self for those he loved.
