Sir Henry Morgan--Buccaneer _Frontispiece_

PAGE

With the point of his own sword pressed against the back
of his neck, he repeated the message which Morgan had
given him (_see page 39_) 41

Their blades crossed in an instant ... There was a
roar from Carib's pistol, and the old man fell (_see
page 87_) 89

Morgan instantly snatched a pistol from de Lussan's hand
and shot the man dead (_see page 138_) 139

Alvarado threw his right arm around her, and with a
force superhuman dragged her from the saddle (_see
page 217_) 215

The moonlight shone full upon her face, and as he stooped
over he scanned it with his one eye (_see page 267_) 269

... he reached the summit--breathless, exhausted,
unhelmed, weaponless, coatless, in rags; torn, bruised,
bleeding, but unharmed (_see page 332_) 333

... he threw the contents at the feet of the buccaneer,
and there rolled before him the severed head of
... his solitary friend (_see page 412_) 413

Hell had no terror like to this, which he, living,
suffered (_see page 443_) 441

"To our next meeting, Mr. Bradley" (_see page 44_) 25

There was one man ... who did not join in the singing
(_see page 49_) 45

Carlingford had risen in his boat ... and with
dauntless courage he shook his bared sword (_see
page 91_) 81

The high poop and rail of the Spaniard was black with
iron-capped men (_see page 121_) 115

"Wilt obey me in the future?" cried the captain (_see
page 143_) 128

"Are you in a state for a return journey at once, señor?"
he asked of the young officer (_see page 173_) 161

"The fault is mine," said Alvarado (_see page 183_) 174

Early as it was, the Viceroy and his officers ... bid
the travelers Godspeed (_see page 200_) 200

During the intervals of repose the young man allowed his
party, the two lovers were constantly together (_see
page 224_) 218

But de Lussan shot him dead, and before the others could
make a move, Morgan stepped safely on the sand (_see
page 239_) 241

"Slay them, O God! Strike and spare not!" (_see
page 281_) 265

"What would you do for him?" "My life for his," she
answered bravely (_see page 289_) 283

"Hast another weapon in thy bodice?" (_see page 319_) 321

Quite the best of the pirates, he! (_see page 351_) 347

By an impulse ... she slipped her arms around his
neck ... and kissed him (_see page 366_) 354

"Treachery? My lord, his was the first" (_see page 378_) 370

"'Tis a certificate of marriage of----" (_see page 400_) 385

"God help me!" cried Alvarado, throwing aside the
poniard, "I cannot" (_see page 386_) 387

"I wanted to let you know there was water here.... There
is not enough for both of us. Who will get it?
I; look!" (_see page 436_) 437

"Harry Morgan's way to lead--old Ben Hornigold's to
follow--ha, ha! ho, ho!" He waded out into the
water ... (_see page 444_) 445
