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_)
