Luquin Trinquetaille touched at the different harbours along the coast, without meeting the pirate ships, which he was to announce to the commander by a shot from his swivel-gun.
Toward evening, just as the sun was sinking below the horizon, the black galley and the polacre arrived in sight of the isles5 of Ste. Marguerite, at the moment, as we have just said, when the chebec of Hadji issued from the road, in quest of the Christian7 galleys8, in obedience9 to the commands of Pog.
Captain Trinquetaille signalled the chebec, and set every sail to join it. The Bohemian slackened his speed and waited for him. The betrothed10 of Stephanette, by the aid of his telescope, recognised Hadji, who was commanding the little craft. The worthy11 captain of the Holy Terror to the Moors12 boiled with rage at this encounter, and had need of all his self-control not to attack the author of Stephanette’s abduction, but, faithful to the orders of the commander, he doubled the point of Lerol, and soon perceived the Red Galleon13 and the galley of Trimalcyon anchored in the bay, very near each other.
Thus having obtained an exact knowledge of the position of the pirates, he stood toward the black galley in order to announce this discovery to Pierre des Anbiez, while the chebec of Hadji was entering the bay under full sail.
When he arrived near the stem of the black galley and gave this information to the pilot, the latter, in obedience to the commander, ordered him to set back the sails of the polacre, and come on board.
Luquin obeyed, but was in despair to see that the chebec of Hadji, whom he was burning to fight, had escaped him.
The chevaliers had assembled on the deck of the galley, and, according to the methods of warfare14 of that time, had cleared the deck for action.
The rambades, which formed a sort of forecastle at the prow15, where the five pieces of artillery16 belonging to the galley were in battery, were already covered with coarse oakum cloth, several inches in thickness. This heavy covering was designed to deaden the effect of the enemy’s projectiles18.
In case the galley was boarded by the enemy, an entrenchment19 called a bastion had been erected20, which extended the entire length of the ship’s balcony, and reached to the height of the fourth bench of the prow.
This entrenchment was constructed of beams and crosspieces of timber, the spaces between being filled with old cordage and dilapidated sails. This construction, six feet high on the side of the stem, was only five feet high at the prow, toward which it sloped to the level of the rambades, and was designed to prevent the raking fire of the enemy’s artillery, sweeping21 the length of the galley.
The subordinate officers and soldiers were armed with steel helmets, buff-skin, and neck-pieces of iron. Matches ready for lighting22 lay near the cannon23 and swivel-guns; the masts had been hauled down and placed in the waist of the vessel3, as galleys never fight with sails up, but are sustained by their oars17.
The slaves who composed the crew looked on these preparations for battle with mute terror or sullen24 indifference25. These poor creatures, chained to their benches, were accounted only a locomotive power. The discipline of force, to which they had been subjected on board the galley, had, through its severity, given them the calmness necessary for confronting danger.
Their position was one of peculiar26 trial. The gagged and passive spectators of a desperate battle,—since during a conflict the crews were generally gagged by means of a piece of wood inserted in the mouth,—they were not able to deaden their perception of danger, or satisfy that instinct of ferocity which self-preservation always awakens27 in men at the sight of carnage, that enthusiasm or courage which demands blow for blow, and kills in order not to be killed.
Nor had these slaves any hope of the ordinary results which follow a victory. If their vessel was the conqueror28 they continued to row on board of her; if she was conquered, they rowed on board of the conqueror.
Placed during the action between the balls of the enemy and the pistols of their keepers, who killed them on their first refusal to row, the men of the crew only escaped certain death by exposing themselves to a death less certain, inasmuch as there was a possibility of missing the enemy’s balls, while the keepers fired their pistols into the breasts of their helpless victims. Under such an alternative the galley-slaves resigned themselves to their fate and continued to row.
In all cases, they were indifferent to victory, and not unfrequently were interested in defeat, since the conquerors29, Turks or Arabs, often delivered their own nationality. As to the renegades, all crews were alike to them. Hence, the convict-crew of the black galley knew only that they were about to do battle with the Red Galleon, and were utterly30 indifferent to the result of the engagement.
Preparations for the fight went on in the most profound silence. The calm, austere31 countenances32 of the soldiers of the cross showed that they found nothing unusual in these preliminary details. The chevaliers carefully inspected the different services with which they were charged; so seriously was every duty performed, that one might have thought the actors were preparing for some religious rite6.
At the stern, the assembled chevaliers made a rigid33 examination of the position of the two galleys commanded by the pirates.
When Luquin Trinquetaille arrived on deck, the overseer ordered him to attend the commander, who was expected there. Pierre des Anbiez, kneeling in his chamber34, was fervently35 praying. Since his departure from Maison-Forte, the gloomiest presentiments37 had assailed38 his mind. In the poignancy39 of his remorse40, he had seen a providential coincidence in his return and the frightful41 disasters which had just overwhelmed his family. He accused himself of having, by his own crime, called down the vengeance42 of Heaven upon the house of Anbiez.
His imagination, unnaturally43 excited by the violent emotions which had shaken his whole being, evoked44 the strangest phantoms45.
As he cast a serious yet fearful glance upon the portrait of Pog,—the Count de Montreuil,—which was hanging in his chamber, it seemed to him that the eyes of this portrait glowed with a supernatural brilliancy.
Twice he approached the frame to assure himself that he was not the sport of an illusion; twice he recoiled46 terrified, feeling his brow bathed in a cold sweat, and his hair standing47 up on his head.
Then he was struck with dizziness,—his reason forsook48 him,—he saw nothing more. Objects unnamable passed before his eyes with frightful rapidity; it seemed to him that he was being transported on the wings of a whirlwind.
By degrees he came to himself,—the aberration49 was past, and he found himself in his chamber on the galley, face to face with the portrait of Pog.
For the first time in his life he felt a dark and painful presentiment36 at the thought of going into battle. Instead of burning with that wild enthusiasm which characterised him, instead of thinking with a sort of ferocious50 joy upon the tumult51 of the fray52, which had so often stifled53 the remorse which cried aloud in his soul, his thoughts turned involuntarily to death and disaster.
He started, as he asked himself if his soul was ready to appear before the Lord,—if the austerities which he had imposed upon himself for so many years sufficed for the expiation54 of his crime.
Terrified, he fell upon his knees, and began to pray with fervour, beseeching55 God to give him the courage and the strength to accomplish his last mission,—once more to uplift the cross triumphantly56, and to rescue Reine des Anbiez from the hands of her ravishers.
He had scarcely finished his prayer when some one knocked at his door. He rose to his feet. The artilleryman, Captain Hugues, appeared.
“What do you want?”
“A man in a boat, sent by these miscreants57, wishes to make some terms with you. M. Commander, must I welcome him with a shot from my swivel-gun, or send him on deck?”
“Send him on deck.”
“Where shall I conduct him?”
“Here.”
Pierre des Anbiez thought he understood the nature of the desired interview. The pirates, holding Reine des Anbiez as a hostage, wished, no doubt, to make terms for her ransom58.
The artillery officer returned with the Bohemian.
“What do you want?” said the commander to him.
“Order this man to retire, monseigneur; your ears alone should hear what my lips will say.”
“You are very impudent,” replied Pierre de Anbiez, looking at Hadji, sharply.
Then he added, addressing Captain Hugues: “Leave us—go away.”
“Alone with this robber, M. Commander?”
“We are three,” said Pierre des Anbiez, pointing to his arms hanging on the wall.
“Do you take me, then, for an assassin?” said Hadji, with scorn.
The artillery officer shrugged59 his shoulders, and went out with evident regret, although the tall stature60 and robust61 figure of the commander, compared to the slender proportions of the Bohemian, ought to have reassured62 him.
“Speak, as I do not wish to have you crucified yet at the prow of my galley,” said Pierre des Anbiez to the Bohemian.
The latter, with his accustomed insolence63, replied: “When my hour comes it shall find me. Pog-Reis, captain of the Red Galleon, sends me to you, monseigneur. It was he who attacked La Ciotat that night; it is he certainly who has Reine des Anbiez in his power.”
“Enough, enough, wretch64, do not boast longer of your crimes, or I will have your tongue torn out! What have you come to demand? I am eager to chastise65 your accomplices66 and make a terrible example of them. If you come to speak of favour and ransom, hear well what fate awaits you and yours; let them try to defend themselves or not, they shall all be carried in chains to La Ciotat, and burned in the middle of the town hall square. Do you understand clearly?”
“I understand clearly,” said the Bohemian, with imperturbable67 coolness. “Pog-Reis will not object to your burning his crew.”
“What do you mean? That he will deliver his accomplices to me, if I grant him his life? It is natural that barbarity like his should hide an ignoble68 cowardice69. If that is his opinion, I am of another mind. The two captains of the galleys and you, all three shall be quartered before being burned, even if you deliver to me your accomplices bound hand and foot, to receive the punishment they deserve. So, go at once, and tell that to your confederates. Go! my blood boils when I think of that unfortunate city and my brother! Go! I do not wish to soil my hands with the blood of a bandit, and I wish you to warn your associates of the fate which awaits them!”
“I had nothing to do with the massacre70 in the city, monseigneur.”
“Will you finish?”
“Ah, well, monseigneur, Pog-Reis and the other captain propose a single combat to you and one of your chevaliers, two against two, with the Spanish sword and dagger71. If he is killed, you will attack his galleys afterward72, and easily capture them, as there will then be two bodies without a head. If you are killed, your lieutenant73 will attack the galleys of Pog-Reis. The desire to avenge74 your death will give new zeal75 to your soldiers, and no doubt they will offer Pog-Reis and his crew as a holocaust76 to your ghost. That need not change your plans in the least; only the captain of the Red Galleon will find himself face to face with the captain of the black galley. The tiger and the lion can thus defy each other.”
The commander listened to this proposition, as insolent77 as it was unheard of, in silence and astonishment78.
When the Bohemian ceased talking, Pierre des Anbiez, in his wrath79, could not resist seizing him by the throat, and crying: “What! you wretch, is that the message with which you are charged? You dare propose to me to cross swords with an assassin like Pog-Reis and one of his brigands80! By the holy cross!” added the commander, pushing back the Bohemian so violently that he stumbled to the other end of the chamber, “to punish you for your impudence81, I shall have you given twenty lashes82 on the chase-gun before handing you over to execution.”
The Bohemian darted83 the glance of a tiger at Pierre des Anbiez and gnashed his teeth together in rage, but seeing that he would be at a disadvantage in a contest, he restrained himself and replied: “Pog-Reis, monseigneur, counted on your refusal at first, and, to decide you, he instructed me to inform you that your brother’s daughter was in his power. If you refuse his proposition, if you attack his galleys at once, Reine des Anbiez and all the captives we have taken shall be instantly put to death.”
“Wretch!”
“If, on the contrary, you accept the combat and send your gauntlet as a pledge, Reine des Anbiez will be brought on board your vessel without ransom, as well as the other prisoners that Pog-Reis has taken at La Ciotat.” “I will never make terms with such murderers. Go!” “Think of it, consider it, monseigneur. Pog-Reis, if you attack him, will defend himself vigorously. If he is defeated, he will blow up his ship. You will have neither him nor Reine des Anbiez nor the other captives, while by accepting this single combat you can return the young girl to her father, and the captives to their city.”
“Be silent!” said the commander, who could not help reflecting that this proposition had its advantage, notwithstanding its audacious insolence.
“Finally,” said Hadji, as if he had guarded this last consideration as the most decisive, “a mysterious spirit wishes the combat that Pog-Reis proposes to you. Yes, this morning, after the attack on La Ciotat, Pog-Reis, exhausted84 by fatigue85, fell asleep and had a dream. A voice said to him that a single combat between him and a soldier of the cross to-day would expiate86 a great crime.”
These last words of the Bohemian struck the commander, and he started. Already he believed, in the intensity87 of his remorse, that his crime had brought upon his family the frightful evils which had befallen it. When he heard Hadji speak of the expiation of a great crime, he believed aiat the will of Heaven had been declared in these words, uttered by chance.
“What dream? what dream? speak,” said he to the Bohemian, in a hollow voice, as he was seized by a secret terror.
“What matters the dream to you, monseigneur?”
“Speak, I tell you, speak!”
“Pog-Reis was transported into the region of visions,” replied Hadji, with an Oriental emphasis. “He heard the voice of the spirit. It said to him, ‘Look!’ and he saw a woman in a coffin88, and that woman had been pierced to the heart and her wound was bleeding. And near the dead woman Pog-Reis beheld89 the vision of a soldier of Christ,—that vision was you!”
“I! I!” cried the commander, petrified90 with astonishment.
“You!” said Hadji, restraining his joy, for he saw that this story, prepared by Pog-Reis, accomplished91 the desire of the pirate.
Pog,—the Count de Montreuil,—judging of the religious character of the commander by the letters which the Bohemian had stolen from the watchman’s cabin, did not doubt that Pierre des Anbiez would be impressed by this dream, and thus be induced to decide in favour of the combat. The commander was all the more impressed by this account of the dream, inasmuch as he believed his crime had never been discovered.
“Ah, God wishes it, God wishes it,” murmured he, in a low voice.
The Bohemian continued without appearing to hear him: “The spirit said to Pog, ‘Tomorrow you will fight this soldier of Christ, one to one, and a great crime will be expiated92.’ Pog-Reis has committed great crimes, monseigneur, he has never felt remorse, the revelation of the spirit has touched him, and he wishes to obey it. He offers you combat. Take care not to refuse it. Christian, the God of all sends his dreams to all indiscriminately. It is by dreams that he declares his will. Perhaps, he chooses you, holy man, as an instrument of a great vengeance; you ought to obey. Perhaps in asking combat of you, Pog-Reis asks for death at your hands.”
The astonishment, the terror, of the commander can be comprehended. In these words, he saw a divine revelation; he thought he heard the voice of the Lord commanding this expiation, and, contrary to the prediction of the Bohemian, believed that the anger of Heaven had decreed himself to be the victim which should fall under the blows of Pog.
Finally, in accepting the combat, he assured the rescue of Reine des Anbiez; he would return a daughter to her father, and prisoners to their weeping families,—a last proof that divine justice desired to strike him alone, since it offered him the means of repairing the evils his crime had called down upon his own.
When we reflect that the constant remorse of Pierre des Anbiez, while it did not impair93 his reason, had predisposed him to a sort of religious fatalism by no means orthodox, but calculated to make a deep impression upon his earnest and gloomy nature, we may comprehend the crushing effect produced on him by the language of Hadji.
After a moment’s silence, he said to the Bohemian,
“Go up on deck, I will give you my orders.”
Then he sent for the overseer, and commanded him to conduct Hadji on deck, to watch over him, and to take him under his protection.
