All day long of June 6 the Wolverine, baked by patches of mist and moving rain squalls, patrolled the empty seas without sighting the lost pchooner. ;The evening brought an envelope of A log again, and presently a light breeze came up from the north. Au hour of it had failed to disperse the mist when there was borne down to the warship a. flapping sound as of great wings. The flapping grew louder--waned-- ceased—and from the lookout came a hail. "Ship's lights three points on the sl taoard quarter." •'list do you make it out to be?" the query from below. teen light's all I can see, sir." a was a pause. ='here's her port light now. Looks -to be turning and bearing down on us, Ir, Coming dead for us"—the man's voice rose --"close aboard; less'n two ship's lengths away!" As for a prearrangcdgscene, the fog curtain parted. There loomed silently and swiftly the Laughing Lass. Down she bore upon the greater vessel until it seemed as if she must ram, but all the time she was veering to windward, and now she ran into the wind with a 'castanet rattle of sails. So close aboard was she that the eager eyes of 'Uncle Sam's men peered down upon her empty decks, for she was void of life. Behind the cruiser's blanketing she paid off very slowly, but presently caught the breeze full and again whit- ened the water at her prow. Forget- ting regulations, Ives hailed. loudly: "Ahoy, Laughing Lass! Ahoy, Billy Edwards!" No sound, no animate motion, came from aboard that apparition as she fell. astern. A. shudder of horror ran across the Wolverine's quarter deck. 'A wraith ship, peopled with skeletons, would have been less dreadful to their sight than the brisk and active desola, tion of the heeling schooner. "Been deserted since early last night," said Trendon hoarsely." "Sow can you tell that?" asked Bar- nett. "Both sails reefed down, ready for that squall. Been no weather since to call for reefs. Must have quit her during the squall." "Then they jumped," cried Carter, "for I saw her boats. It isn't believa- ble." "Neither was the other," said Tren- don grimly. A hurried succession of orders stop - aped further discussion for the time. tIves was sent aboard the schooner to dower sail and report. He came back ,with a staggering dearth of informa- tion. The boats were all there; the ship was intact—as intact as when Billy Edwards had taken charge—but the cheery, lovable ensign and his men had vanished without trace or clew. As to the how or the wherefore they might rack their brains without guessing. There was the beginning of a log in the ensign's handwriting, which Ives had found with high ex- citement and read with bitter disap- pointment. "Had squall from northeast" it ran. "Double reefed her, and she took it ;nicely. Seems a seaworthy, quick ship. Further search for log. No result. Have ordered one of the crew who is ,a bit of a mechanic to work at the brass bound chest till he gets it open. He reports marks on the lock as if somebody had been trying to pick it .before him." There was no further entry. "Dr. Trendon is right," said Barnett. "Whatever happened—and God only .knows what it could have been—it happened just after the squall" "Just about the time of the strange glow," cried Ives. It was decided that two men and a petty officer should be sent aboard the Laughing Lass to make her fast with a cable_ and remain on board over - 1.

One of them pro- tested brokenly that he was sick, Trendon after examination reported to the captain. "Case of blue funk, sir. Might as well be sick. Good for nothing. Qth- ers aren't much better," "Who was to be in charge2" "Congdon," replied the doctor, nam - Ing one of the petty officers. "He's my cockswain," said Captain Parkinson. "A first class man. I can hardly believe that he is afraid. :We'll see." Congdon was sent for. "You're ordered aboard the schooner for the night, Congdon," said the cap. tain. "Yes, sir." "Is there any reason why you do not wish to go?" The man hesitated, looking misera- ble. Finally he blurted out, not with- out a certain dignity: "I obey orders, sir." "Speak out, my man," urged the cap- tain kindly. "Well, sir, it's Mr. Edwards, then, You couldn't scare him off a ship, sir, unless it was something—something"-- Ile stopped, failing of the word. "You know what Mr. Edwards wan sir, for pluck," he concluded. "Was!" cried the captain sharply "What do you mean?" "The schooner got him, sir. You don't ma!:e no doubt of that, do .,u, sir?" The man spoke in a hushed voice, with a shrinking glance back of him. "W III you go aboard under Mr. Ives?" "Anywhere my officer goes I'll go and gladly, sir." Ives was sent aboard in charge. For that night, in a light breeze, the two ships lay close together, the schooner rifling jauntily astern. But not until morning illumined the world of wa- ters did the Wolverine's people feel confident that the Laughing Lass would not vanish away from their ken like a share of the mist. •• -_ CHAPTER V. HEN Barnett came on deck very early on the morning of June 7 he found Dr. Trendon already up and staring moodily out at the Laughing Lass. As the night was calm the tow bad made fair time to- ward their port in the Hawaiian group. The surgeon was muttering something wbich seemed to Barnett to be in a foreign tongue. "Thought out any clew, doctor?" asked the first officer. "Petit Chel — pshaw! Jolie Cell: - menet No," muttered Trendon. "Ma- rie—Maple—I've got it! The Marie Celeste." "Got what? What about her?" "Parallel case," said Trendon. "Sail- ed from New York back in the seven- ties. Seven weeks out was found dere- lict Everything in perfect order. Captain's wife's hem on the machine. Boats all accounted for. No sign of struggle. Log written to within forty- eight hours." "What became of the crew?" "Wish I could tell you. Might help to unravel our tangle." He shook his head in sudden, unwonted passion. "Evidently there's something crimi- nal in her record„' said Barnett, frown- ing at the fusty schooner astern. "Oth- erwise Otherwise the name wouldn't be painted out." "Painted out long ago. See how rus- ty it is. Schermerborn's work, may- be," replied Trendon. "Secret expedi- tion, remember." "In the name of wonders, why should he do it?" "Secret expedition, wasn't it?" "IIm-ah; that's true," said the other thoughtfully. "It's quite possible." "Captain wishes to see both of you gentlemen in the wardroom, if you please," came a message. Below they found all the officers gathered. Captain Parkinson was pac- ing up and down in, 111 controlled agi- tation. "Gentlemen," he said, "we are fac- ing a problem which so far as I know 1ji 1! i�tt gyp• 1� e.111111114 Rich and splendid streamers of light spiratect up tato the heavens. is without parallel. It Is shy intoe. tion to bring the schooner which we have in tow to port at Honolulu. In the present unsettled weather we can- not continue to tow her, I wish. two officers to take charge Under tbe cir- cumstances I shall issue no orders. The duty must be voluntary." Instantly every man, from the yet - mit Treudon to the paymaster, volun- teered. "That is what I expected," said Cap- tain Parkinson quietly. "But I have still a word to say. I make no doubt to my own mind that the schooner qas twice been beset by the gravest of perils. Nothing less would have driv- en Mr. Edwards from his post, All of us who know him will appreciate that. Nor can I free myself from the darkest forebodings as to his fate and that of his companions. But as to the nature of the peril I am unable to make any conjecture worthy of consideration. Has any one a theory to offer?" There was a dead silence. "M r. Barnett? Mr. Trendon? Mr. Ives?" "Is there not possibly some connec- tion between the unexplained light which we have twice seen and the double desertion of the ship?" sug- gested the first officer after a pause. "I have asked myself that over and over. Whatever the source of the light and however near to It the schooner may have been slie is evident- ly unharmed." "Yes, sir," said Barnett. "That seeans to vitiate that explanation." ' "I thank you, gentlemen, for the promptitude of' your offers," continued the captain. "In this respect you make my fluty the more difficult I shall accept Mr. Ives because of his familiarity with sailing craft and with (hese seas." His eyes ranged the group. "I beg your pardon, Captain Parkin- son," eagerly put in the paymaster, "but I've handled a schooner yacht for several years and I'd appreciate the chance of"— "Very well, Mr. rilcGuire, you shall be the second in command." "Thank you, sir." "You gentlemen will pick a volun- teer crew and go aboard at once. Spare uo effort to find records of the schooner's cruise. Keep in company and watch for signals. Report at once any discovery or,unusual incident, however slight." Not so easily was a crew obtained. Having iu mind the excusable super- stition of the men, Captain Parkinson was unwilling to compel any of them to the duty. Awed by the mystery of their mates' disappearance, the sailors hung back. Finally by temptation of extra prize money l complement was made up. . At 10 o'clock of a puffy, mist laden morning a new and strong crew of nine men boarded the Laughing Lass. There were no farewells among the officers. Forebodings weighed too heavy for such open expression. A11 the fates of weather seemed to combine to part the schooner from her convoy. As before, the fog fell, only to be succeeded by squally rain show- ers that cut out the vista into a check- erboard pattern of visible sea and im- penetrable grayness. Before evening the Laughing Lass, making slow way through the mists, had become separat- ed by a league of waves from the cruiser. One glimpse of her between mist areas the Wolverine caught at sunset. Then wind and rain descend- ed in furious volume from the south- east The cruiser immediately headed about, following the probable course of her charge, which would be beaten far down to leeward. • It was a gloomy mess on the warship. In his cabin, Captain Parkinson was frankly seasick —a condition which nothing but the extreme of nervous depression ever in- duced in him. For several hours the rain fell and the gale howled.

From a belt of marvelous, glowing gold, rich and splendid streamers of • Fight spiraled up into the blackness of the heavens. In all the colors of the spectrum they rose and fell — blazing orange, silken, wonderful, translucent blues and shimmering reds. Below a broad band of paler hue, like sheet lightning fixed to rigidity, wavered and rippled. All the auroras of the northland blend- ed in one could but have paled away before the splendor of that terrific ce- lestial apparition. On board the cruiser all hands stood petrified, bound in a stricture of speech- less wonder. After the first cry si- lence lay leaden over the ship. It was broken by a scream of terror from for- ward. The quartermaster who had been at the wheel came clambering clown the ladder and ran along the deck, his dngers splayed and stiffened before him in the intensity of his panic. "The needle! The compass!" he . 1...:,.t...a Barnett ran to the wheelhouse with Trendon at his heels. The others fol- lowed. The needle was swaying like a cobra's head. And as a cobra's head spits venom, it spat forth a thin stee blue stream of lucent fire. Then so swiftly it whirled that the sparks scat tered from it in a tiny shower. I stopped, quivered and curved itself upward until it rattled like a fairy drum upon the glass shield. Barnett looked at Trendon. "Volcanic?" he said. "'Mine eyes have seen the• glory of the coming of the Lord,'" muttered the surgeon in his deep bass, as he looked forth upon the streaming, ra- diant heavens. "It's like nothing else." In the west tbe splendor and the ter- ror shot to the zenith. Barnett whirled the wheel. The ship responded per- fectly. "I thought she might be bewitched, too," he murmured. "You may head her for the light, air. Barnett," said Captain Parkinson calmly. He had come from his cabin, all his nervous depression gone in the face of an imminent and visible dan- ger. Slowly the great mass of steel swung to the unknown. For an hour the un- known guided her. Then fell black- ness, sudden, complete. • After that ra- diance the dazzled eye could make out no stars, but the lookout's keen vision discerned something else. "Ship afire!" he shouted hoarsely. • "Where away?" "Two points to leeward, hear where the light was, sir." They turned their eyes in the (Urer. tion indicated and beheld a majestic rolling volume of purple light Sud- denly a fiercer red shot it through. "That's no ship afire," said Trendon. "Volcano in eruption." "And the other?" asked the eaptain. "No volcano, sir." "Poor Billy Edwards wins his bet," said Forsythe in a low voice. "God grant he's on earth to collect it," replied Barnett solemnly. No one turned in that night. When the sun Of June 8 rbse it showed an ocean bare Of prospect except that on the far horizon where the chart show- ed no land there rose a smudge of dirty rolling smoke. Of the schooner there was neither sign nor trace. CHAPTER VI. HIS ship," growled Carter, the second officer. to Dr. Tren• don, Os they stood watching the grewing smoke column, "i$a worse hotbed of rumors than a down east village. That's the third seri gull we've had oinoially reported since breakfast," As he maid, three distinct times the Wolverine bad thrilled to an ltnminent discovery, white) upon nearer Investf- gatlon had dwindled to nothing more than a floating fowl. Upon the heels of Carter's compiniut curve another hail. "Boat ahoy! Three points on the starboard bow." "1f that's another gull;' muttered Car- ter, "I'll have something to say to you, my festive tool:out" The news ran electrically through the cruiser. and all eyes were strained for a glimpse of the boat. The ship swung away to starboard. "Let inc know tut soon ns you ran "make her crit'" ordered Cartery. "ASO. aye, Sit," "There's certainly something there," said Forsythe presently, 'I can make out a speck rising on the waves," "Bit o' wreckage from Barnett's der- elict," muttered Trendon, scowling through his glasses, "Rides too high for a spar or any- thing of that sort," said the junior lieutenant. "She's a smail boat," came in the clear tones of the lookout, "driftin' down." "Any one in her?" asked Carter. "Can't make out yet, sir. No one's in charge though, sir." Captain Parkinson appeared, and Carter pointed out the speck to him. "Fres. Give her full speed," said the captain, replying to a question from the officer of the deck. Forward leaped the swift cruleer, all too slow for the anxious hearts of those aboard. For there was not one of the Wolverines who did not expect from this aimless traveler of desert spas at the least a Ieadfng clew to the riddle that oppressed thein. "Aloft there!" "Aye, aye, sir." "Can you make out her build?" "Rides high, like a dory, sir." "Wasn't there a dory on the Laugh- ing Lass?" cried Forsythe. /t On her stern davits," answered Trendon. "It is hardly probable that unat- tached small boats should be drifting about these seas," said Captain Parkin- son thoughtfully. "If she's a dory, she's the Laughing Lass' boat." "That's what she is," said Barnett. "You can see her build plain enough now." "Mr. Barnett, will you go aloft and keep me posted?" said the captain. The executive officer climbed to join the lookout. As he ascended those be- low saw the little tkaft rise high and slow on a broad swell. "Same dory," said Trendon, "I'd swear to her in Constantinople." "What else could she be?" muttered Forsythe. "Somethin' that looks like a man in the bottom of her," sang out the crow's nest. "Two of 'em, I think." For five minutes there was stiflness aboard, broken only by an occasional low voiced conjecture. Then from aloft: "Two men rollln' in the bottom." "Are they alive?" "No, sir. Not that I can see." The wind, which had been extremely variable since dawn, now whipped around a couple of points, swinging the boat's stern to them. Barnett, put- ting aside his glass for a moment, call- ed down: "That's the one, sir. I can make out the name." "Good," said the captain quietly. "We should have news at least" "Ives or McGuire," suggested For. sythe in low tones. "Or Billy Edwards," amended Car- ter. "Not Edwards," said Trendon. "How do you know?" demanded For- sythe. "Dozy was aboard when we found her the second time, after Edwards had left" "Can you make out which of the men are in her?" hailed the captain. "Don't think it's any of our people," came the astonishing reply from Bar- nett. "Are you sure?" "I can see only one man's face, sir. It isn't Ives or McGuire. He's a stranger to me." "It must be one of the crew, then." "No, sir, beg your parding," called the lookout. Nothin' like that in our crew, sir." The boat came down upon them swiftly. Soon the quarter deck was looking into her. She was of a type common enough on the high seas, ex- cept that a step for a mast showed that she had presumably been used for skimming about open shores. Of her passengers one Iay forward, prone and quiet. A length of sailcloth spread over him made it impossible to see his garb. At his breast an ugly protuber- ance, outlined vaguely, hinted a de- formity. The other sprawled aft, and at a nearer sight of him some of the men broke out into nervous titters. There was some excuse, for surely such a scarecrow had never before been the sport of wind and wave. A. thing of shreds he was, elaborately ragged, a face overrun with a scrub of beard and preternaturally drawn, surnlonnt- ed with a stiff dried, dirty cloth semi- turban, with a wide, forbidding stain along the side, worked out the likeness to a makeup. "My God!" cackled Forsythe with a hysterical explosion, and again "My God!" A long drawn, irrepressible aspira- tion of expectancy rose from the war- ship's decks as the stranger raised his haggard face, turned eyes unseeingly upon them and fell back. The forward occupant stirred not, save as the boat roiled. From between decks some one called out sharply an order. In the grim si- lence it seemed strangely incongruous that the measured business of a ship's lite should be going forward as usual. Something within ""e newcomer's coh- seiousness stirred t, that voice Of au- thority, Mechanically, like some huge, hideous toy, he raised first one arm, then the other and hitched himself halfway up on the Stern seat. Ills mouth opened. Iles face wrinkled. He seemed groping for the meaning of a joke at which he knew he ought to laugh. Suddenly from his lips in Sur- prising volume, means, rasping, yet With a certain rollicking deviltry fit to set the head a -tilt, burst tt chanty: "Oh, their eefrin was their ship, and their gravo It was the sea --- Blow high, blow low, what ease wet And the quarter that we save them wag to sink them in the *ea— bownreoen ±6t.4 e Coe- st of the high Btr4 Long drawn, like the mockery et it ORENIMIGNangereaMMEWSNIMMOINUOMMMIllsait ,mosil ettiontemo;wealallellataslIIsIl usrpW11➢11,1.11 674, \'egetratilGPreparation forAs- similating theFood and Reg the Stomachs cnfl i3oweis cf" o.A11yL';s..y uit�'�`'� Promotes Di ,estion,Chrerful- ness and fest:Contai ns neither Opiuni,Morphine nor Minc,ral.

"One of those cursed tunes you can't forget," said the surgeon. "Heard a scoundrel of a beachcomber sing it years ago. Down in New Zealand, that was. When the fever rose on him he'd pipe up. tlsed to beat time with a steel hook he wore in place of a hand. The thing haunted me till I was sorry I hadn't let the rascal die. This crea- ture might have learned it from him. Bowls it out exactly alike." "I don't see that that helps us any," said Forsythe, Iooking down on the preparations that were making to re- ceive the unexpected guests. With a deftness which had made the Wolverine famous in the navy for the niceties of seamanship, the great cruis- er let down her tackle as she drew skillfully alongside and made fast, pre- paratory to lifting the dory gently to her broad deck. But before the order came to hoist away one of the jackies who had gone down drew the covering back from the still figure forward and turned it over. With a half stifled cry he shrank back. And at that the ten- sion of soul and mind on the Wolverine snapped, breaking into outcries and sudden, sharp imprecations. The face revealed was that of Timmins, the bo's'n's mate, who had sailed with the first vanished crew. A life preserver was fastened under his arms. He was dead. "I'm out" said the surgeon briefly and stood with mouth agape. Never had the disciplined Wolverines per- formed n sea duty with so ragged a routine as the getting in of the boat containing the live ..tan and the dead body. The dead seaman was reverent- ly disposed and covered. As to the survivor there was some hesitancy on the part of the captain. win was inclined to send him forward until I)r. Trendon, after a swift scrutiny, sug- gested that for the present nt least Ise be berthed aft. They took the strati-, ger to Edwards' vacant room, where Trendon was closeted with him for half an hour. When he emerged he was beset with questions. "C'an't give any account of himself yet." Saki the surgeon. "Weak and not rightly conscious." "What ails him?" "Enough. Gash in his scalp. Fever. Thirst and exhaustion. Nervous shock, too, I think." "IIow came he aboard the Laughing Lass? Does he know anything of Billy? Was he a stowaway? Did you ask him about Ives and McGuire? How came he in the small boat? Where are the rest?" "Now, now," said the veteran chid ingly. "How can I tell? Would you have me kill the man with questions?" Ile left them to look at the body -0 the bo's'n's mate. Not a word had „a to say When he returned. Only the captain got anything Out of him but growling and unintelligible expres- kions, which seemed to be objurgatory and to express bewildered cogitation. "How long had poor Timmins been drowned?" the captain had asked him, and Trendon replied: "Captain Parkinson, the man wasn't drowned. No water in bis lungs." "Not drowned( 'rhefi hair came he by his deatb1" "If I were to diagnose it tender any other conditIO/he X should say that he had inhaled dam+es.'r 'then the two men stared at each tether for blatiitt Intoteney. ?tlteantime the Scarecrow was ehowing signs of re - "Take it yourself, ff you 117te," said Trendon. turning consciousness, and a message was dispatched for the physician. On his way he met Barnett, who asked, and received permission to accompany him. The stranger was tossing rest- lessly estlessly in his bunk, opening and shut-' ting his parched mouth in silent, pite- ous appeal for the water that must still be doled to him parsimoniously. "I think I'll try him with a little brandy," said Trendon and sent for the liquor. Barnett raised the patient while the( surgeon held the glass to his lips. The man's hand rose, Wavered and clasped the glass. "All right, my friend. Take it your- self, if you like," said Trendon. The fingers closet]. Tremulously held, the little glass tilted and rattled against the teeth. There was one deep, eager spasm of swallowing. Then the fevered eyes opened upon the face of the Wolverine's first officer. "Prosit, Barnett," said the man in a voice like the rasp of rusty meta). The navy man straightened up as from a blow under the iaw.
