We’ve biscuits enough to keep -us going for another •ten days. We’ve only io keep this up, and we’ll strike land—we can’t miss'!” They took it better from Salt than fi’om Trennie, They had taken a grudge against Trennie, fostered by Kelly, the big shock-headed A,B.; some of them said that they should liave rim for the South Shetlands altogether and finding themselves irretrievably * lost in the Wedell Sea, Kelly kept up an. undecurrent of complaint. The men began to say that Trennie should ration out more biscuits because the work on the oars was becoming impossible. Kelly put it about that Trennie and the quarermaster were taking a largei' share themselves. “That fellow Kelly is a mischief- maker,” said Colonql Kingslake to Salt. "He’s causing trouble; and if the men are going to fall out now we’re done for!” “I don’t think Kelly is all there,” said Salt. “He’s mentally sub-stan­ dard with a streak of malice be­ sides, If their morale was better, the others wouldn’t listen to him.” Trennie complained that he couldn’t keep hold. His eyes glared aggrievedly in his tortured face, “They ought to know me,” he said. "I’m doing my best. I’xn fed to the teeth myself, ready to lie down and chuck it all. Everything ,is on my shoulders—navigation, dis­ cipline, rations.” That night, after dark, while Kingslake and Mr. Mills were among those taking their turn on •the oars, there was a sudden com­ motion forward—a sound of scuff­ ling, a mingling of oaths, and muffled protests. Bridget, wakeful, with a dull sense of misery, of being able to endure no longer^ sat up in time to see the young steward, Connors, ■ come scrambling aft, out of the night, "It’s Kelly and some of the fel­ lers.” he said, talking to Salt over her shoulder. "They say Trennie’s got another keg of rum in tbe locker and they’ve downed him and the quartermastei* to get the key,” "The devil they have!” Trennie’s voice broke out in out­ raged remonstrance and was as quickly smothered. The women woke from their uneasy stupor with exclamations of fear. Salt rose and picked his way forward between them. The whole boat was in con­ fusion; some of the men dropped their oars, others were still row­ ing, trying -to keep her on her course. Trennie was down in the bilge, and fwo men were sitting on him, while Kelly and two others, with- a lantern, were trying -to the locker in the bows -open, quartermaster lay in the bilge either dead or unconscious. » Trennie had evident drawn ^automatic with which he. was armed, but had had no heart to use it, and liad given it up to his attackers. One of the men holding him down, had it in his hand, barrel pointed Skyward, fol*,.safety’s sake, while he tried to suppress Trennie’s efforts to get up. • Salt, coming suddenly out of the darkness, saw the gun. before him waving about against the glow of the lantern. Before anyone saw him he had leaned over and whip­ ped the thing away< “Come away from -that locker!” he roared, standing back. Every­ thing came to an abrupt halt, full of hard breathing and muttered blasphemy, whjile Salt stood there, gun levelled, back to the engine, and told -them to let Trennie -get up. voice rafts out. “And I mean busi­ ness. Is Higgs dead?” “Kelly bashed him,” said one. Somebody held the lantern, over the quartermaster’s face, ed silly—he’s all right!” The man who had had gun burst out; “They got and we want it,” “All right,” said Salt. “Open that locker!” After a hesitation of surprise, the man with the key fitted it in the door and opened it. er yawned black and wide. “is there any rum Salt, TWO gently, “No!” “Knock- Trennie’s that rum The lock- in it?” asked searched, dili- their heads, murmur at a state anybody, crouching of the men then shook A disappointed went up, and a boot kicked down the locker door. “Who told you there was rum In It?”’ The chorus of angry growls was immediate, “Kelly! It was Kelly said so. He said Trennie and Higgs was holding out on us!” Trennie, sitting up on a side seat, panting and holding his bat­ tered head, said “Curse you! Curse you all!” and burst .into tears. He seemed to have arrived beyond holding out on Salt looked at Kelly, gorilla-like in the bow, “It seems to me, Kelly, -that you’re bad for the rest of us. If you don’t like this boat, you can get out -of it—” Kelly cut him short with a yell: “You can’t put it across me. You know where 'that rum is!” With a wild gesture and a shout of "Come on, boys!” he launched himself bodily along the boat at Salt. The gun cracked deafeningly. Kelly brought up short, staggered and went down in -the bilge, writh­ ing with a bullet in 'his shoulder. The men, accepting the inevitable, utterly sobered now, "stared aghast. A tall lad with matted red hair, cried out: “We’re goin’ 'mad, that’s what it Is! We’re all goin’ mad!” Next day Salt was in com­ mand, and Trennie, reduced to a state of nervous breakdown, had! only sufficient stength to take a sight and check the position of the boat. . There • was also the problem of Kelly; the bullet had to be extract­ ed from his shoulder, a job which Mr. Mills undertook with -the aid of his wife, who had been a nurse. His nerve seemed to have gone he rambled and whined incoherently, concentrating -his attack on Tren­ nie, but he seemed to bear no malice' against Salt for having defended himself.

If yam give your ration away, theu I shall have to give you an extra one and that’s unfair to everybody!” His peremptory voice lashed her. Memories burled be­ neath ten -days’ intolerable suspense rushed upon her. Her nerves obey­ ed an ungovernable impulse. His face, flowering a few feet from hers, infuriated her. She struck at it. wildly. The smack startled everyone’s at­ tention. Salt turned white, drew back without a word and clambered forward, Mrs. Garforth was saying weakly: “Bridget, how can you Bridget!” Joyce clutched her arm with weak fingers, shaking her. “How dare you hit him, how dare you hit him?” Bridget passed her hand over hex’ eyes in a dazed kind of way. she said was that. It Salt her. "I’m sorry I spoke to you as I did.” “We’re all getting to the end of oui’ tether,” Bridget replied, mois­ tening her cracked, dry lips. "I think Grimson is really ill,” she added, Salt crouched down beside Grim­ son. - “She’S got so terribly thin,” Brid­ get said. “She’s lost more weight than the rest of us. You said you had a little condensed milk left in reserve for emergencies. I think she needs it as much as any of us could.” Salt nodded,« and scrambled his wary way forward again; he re­ turned a few minutes latex* with a tin cup of condensed milk and wa­ ter. “Cheei’ up!” he said to Grim­ son, “Here’s something good for you!” Bridget put it to Grimson’s lips. Grimson opened lack lustye eyes and looked about her, saw the cup, and drank with a desperate greed. “You were right,” Salt said gent­ ly, as Bridget gave the cup back to | him. “Sorry I went for you, should have told me before, not I locker, given your ration away. You need it,! don’t you, quite as much as the rest of us?” Bridget, staring at him, began to tremble all over. Her eyes filled With tears, hex’ lips shook and she could say nothing.

Muscles straining, Ups biting back cries of fear, the men struggled to keep the boat in clear water. Then they were through the breakers; there was a beathing space while the tide hurled them on towards the mouth of the inlet. But soon if. was obvious that they were being thrown, irresistibly to­ wards the south shore of the inlet where the waves were crashing on rocks -set like black teeth in a foam­ ing jaw, “Keep her clear! Keep her clear!” the men’s voices howled in the wind like a cry of despair. But there was nothing that en­ gine or oars coixld do against that driving wind and a seven-knot tide­ race. The sea flung the bo^t against a smooth side of rock, she almost capsized, then fell back and drifted in the trough of the seas, alongside the rock, waiting for the next It came sweeping in, lifted the boat level, with the rock again. “Jump!” roared Salt. “Jump for the rock everybody!” The ablest of them, as .Well as the wounded Kelly, were already leaping and scrambling on to the surface of the rock, beyond which lay the fell lag With Salt’s help she pushed Grim­ son over the side, and the quarter­ master caught her and dragged her up. The side of the boat, flying up, taught- Grimson’s foot, crushing it against the sharp-surfaced rack, Grimson screamed and Bridget screamed too. ■ But Grimson’ was up, and was on the rock; the men had pulled Ma­ dame Dupre after her, The other women had already jumped, Salt and Bridget were still in the boat. Salt had scrambled forward to You I the last of the biscuits from other rocks and a clear way to stony beach. Again the boat back. Bridget was still in it try- to help Grimson to her feet.

Everyone had rheumatic pains in their limbs, and some were suf­ fering acute abdominal pains as well. The fifty pounds of condensed milk they had had on board was gone, and they were reduced, to bis­ cuit only. Salt had -cut down their ration of that, and water they could' get in, from the frequent rain. What he said went. When it was, possible, he let the improvised sail carry them, if it would keep them on their course, But when rowing was necessary, then they must row. He drove them to the oars with scorching words. He tied an oar into the rowlock, and row­ ed himself with one hand. The. weather was bright and fine and great glassy blue billows rolled out of the south-west. Let it only keep fine for another day! Grimson was very weak. Brid­ get’s efforts to keep her cheerful had failed at last. She felt as though the soul had been ground Out of her, she Was no longer Brid­ get, but like an animal without sense or feelings........ When the quartermaster came round with the biscuit ration at nine o’clock, Bridget took it, but she felt sick. She decided to keep it until later. Grimson, lying on a side seat, ate hers, and began to complain afterwards. “Only that bit all day! I’m that hungry, it’s a pain in my inside!” Bridget gave her her own piece of biscuit. GrimSon, too ill to un­ derstand, took it and ate it. A shadow fell across them, and Bridget, looking up, saw Salt there. “What’s this?” “What is what.” said Bridget. “Was that your ration you gave to Grimson?” His face was twitch­ ing with nervous strain, “I didn’t want it. She said she was still hungry.” x “Weil, kindly keep your own ra­ tion to yourself, We have only a few pounds of biscuit left; I can only - give out so much to each of you.” “Grimson is ill, she needs it more than I do.” Bridget hated his over­ bearing manner.

What’s happened?” The A.B. was standing up, point­ ing; the boat was mounting a swell, lifted him into outline against the sky. "Look! It’s land! Gor blimey— look!” Straining their eyes, in the north­ west, they could see them, the snowy tops of mountains glimmering in blue. CHAPTER XXVII An Inhospitable Shore "Yes, it’s land,” said Mrs. the A young couple who had receiv­ ed many valuable wedding presents established their home in a suburb. One morning they received in the mail, tWo tickets for a popular show in the city, with the single line: “Guess Who sent- fchem.” The pair had much' amusement in trying to identify the donor, but failed in-.Q the effort. They duly attended the theatre, and had a de­ lightful time.

Standing off as best they could from this appalling" prospect, with tfie engine running on the last of the fuel way that they in the tanks, they nosed their south.

None Of them had any clear I knowledge of how far they were 1 from the nearest settlement, suppos­ ing they survived the dangers of an immediate landing. Their best course, therefore, was to round the False Cape and make for the Beagle Channel via Ponson- by Sound. ‘‘For Heaven’s sake!” cried Con­ ners, the steward, “Let’s land where we can, Don't go looking for places—that devil of a wind will get us Again and blow us away1 to hell!” "The wind isn’t blowing us away,” said Salt. It’s blowing us on those rocks over there, it's going zto bash us to pieces if we don’t keep clear.” "It’s no good, Mr. Salt, we can’t go on, We’re that weak now, we got to try for that creek.” “The ch-anees are that we’ll starve to death, To try foi* the Beagle Channel is our best hope,” Salt told them. “We're sick of this boat,” called out another seafrian, “We ain’t no good, Mr, Salt. The engine will go In another hour.
