It appeared preferable to freight vessels at New York and to load them with the iron in bars; no less than sixty-eight vessels of 1,000 tons were required, quite a fleet, which on May 3rd left New York, took the Ocean route, coasted the American shores, entered the Bahama Channel, doubled the point of Florida, and on the 10th of the same month entered the Bay of Espiritu-Santo and anchored safely in the port of Tampa Town.
Rover, who knew he could depend upon the colored man in any emergency. "I hope you find Dick, and Tom and Sam," said Dora. "It was foolish for them to go off alone." "And don't let Merrick hurt anybody," pleaded Nellie. It was quickly decided that the party to go ashore should be composed of Mr. Rover, Bahama Bill, Aleck, and the three boys.
In the third, left unopened until the fleet had emerged from the Bahama Channel on the homeward voyage, were orders for the route to the Azores and the islands they should touch in passing, usually Corvo and Flores or Santa Maria.
"It's queer I took sick so quick," said Bahama Bill, an hour later, when he felt better. "What did you eat and drink?" asked Anderson Rover. "I ate a tongue sandwich one o' them was handed around awhile ago. I put it in my bunk room when I got it and ate it on going to bed. It made me sick the minit I downed it." "I ate one of those sandwiches and it didn't hurt me," said Fred.
"Well, he has led many others that way," answered Anderson Rover, remembering the freight robbers. "I am willing to do anything I can to make matters right," went on Wingate. "0' course you are, now you're caught," sneered Bahama Bill. "Can you tell us if the Josephine was coming to this spot?" asked Captain Barforth. "Is this the south side of the isle?" "Yes."
The Spaniards began the battle with less vivacity than their unworthy allies, but they continued it with greater firmness. The ARGONAUTA and BAHAMA were defended till they had each lost about four hundred men; the SAN JUAN NEPOMUCENO lost three hundred and fifty.
A becoming degree of tranquillity prevailed on board this prison ship, during my residence in it. On the 15th of September, we were all sent on board the Bahama prison ship, which lay farther up the reach. Here we found about three hundred of our countrymen, who received us with kindness, and many marks of satisfaction.
The Bahama Banks extend along its northern coast-line about fifty or sixty miles distant, where commences the group of many small isles known as the Bahamas, and of which we have already treated. On her eastern extreme, near Cape Maysi, Cuba is within about fifty miles of the western shore of Hayti, from which it is separated by the Windward Passage.
Off Hatteras the Dunham Castle labored heavily for twelve hours, and bad weather followed her clear into the old Bahama Channel. Not until she had thrust her nose into the narrow entrance of Neuvitas harbor did she wholly cease her seasick plunging, but then the weather changed with bewildering suddenness.
"Because we are depending, in large part, on what Bahama Bill has to tell, he's the worst yarn spinner I ever ran across." "It's true that he is a yam spinner," said Dick, "but behind it all father says he tells a pretty straight story of how the treasure was stolen and secreted on Treasure Isle."
