CRASH! A SHELL STRIKING THE BASE OF THE FUNNEL REDUCED IT TO ATOMS	Frontispiece

RIGHT AHEAD CAME A HUGE BATTLE-CRUISER

A NOOSE WAS ADROITLY THROWN OVER HIS SHOULDERS AND JERKED TIGHT

THE SHOT CAUGHT THE DECOY-BEARER JUST BELOW THE KNEE

BEFORE CERVILLO COULD RECOVER FROM HIS ASTONISHMENT HE WAS FLOORED BY THE ATHLETIC SUB

HALF-A-DOZEN SEAMEN, HEADED BY THE RENEGADE ENGLISHMAN, BURST INTO THE ROOM

THE PIRATES RUSHED FOR THE BOATS

AFTER A QUARTER OF AN HOUR'S SUSPENSE THE "INDEPENDENCIA" GAINED THE OPEN SEA

HE STRUGGLED DESPERATELY TO THROW HIMSELF ONCE MORE INTO THE SEA
