"Halt!" cried Ruggedo, as the pirates made a dash for their small

boats. "Halt! And don't forget I'm captain here. There'll be no gun work unless I call for it."

"Cuckoo, cuckoo, cuckoo!" mocked the yellow bird, darting out of

Clocker's head, for it was exactly three o'clock. And while the pirates,

muttering and glowering, fell back in line, Ruggedo calmly read the Wise

Man's message.

"Enlist these newcomers in your army by trick or stick," advised

Clocker, "and afterward we will steal their ship and treasure." Ruggedo nodded and thrust the paper in his pocket. Then, handing the ebony stick

to the Wise Man, he motioned for him to keep the pirates in order while

he went down to confer with the captain of the strange boat, who was

already stepping ashore. The pirate ship, which might have' frightened

the visitors away, was hidden behind a jutting cliff.
