St Nicholas [serial] . the island of Hispaniola ; and whenat last he sighted a vessel in the distance, it wasnot long before he and his men had made uptheir minds that if they were to have any sportthat day, it would be with what might be calledmost decidedly a game fish, for the ship slowlysailing toward them was a large Spanish vessel, and from her port-holes there protruded themuzzles of at least twenty cannon.
