On the eleventh day out, Rainey went below In the middle of tete after- noon for 111s senhnots. In the mala cabin he found Simms seated in a chair with his daughter leaning over him, speaking to her In a harsh, com- plaining voice. . "No, yon can't do a thing for nu'," he was saying. "It's this sciatica. I've got to get Carlsen."

According to his own annnnnvelnent ('arisen was de- liberately neglecting the father of the girl he was to marry end at the sante time slighting the captain to his own men.

"An' I've got a card or two up my sleeve," The storm blew out, and there came n spell of pleasant weather. Simms was still 000110041 to his cabin. ICxcept for observations and the de- tails of navigation, ('arisen left the schooner to Rainey. They were well off the (oast, out of the fogs, appar- ently alone upon the lonely ocean that ran sparkling to the far horizon. It watt warm, there was little to do, the sailors, as well as the bunters, spent most of their time lounging on the deck. Lund bung over the rail, smoking, or paced the deck, always close to Rainey. The manner in which he went about the ship was almost un- canny. Except that his arms were generally ahead of him when he moved, his hands, with their woolly covering of rod hair, lightly touching boom or rope or rail, 11e showed no hesitation, made no mistakes. When the breeze was steady he would even take the w'11(el and steer perfectly by the "feel of the hind" on his cheek, the slap of it In the canvas, or the creak of 1110 rigging to tell him if he leas holding to the course. And he took an almost chIldieh delight in pro- claiming his prowess as helmsman.

"Probably plenty aboard soine- w'here," said Carlsen, "but I don't know where they are, You boys have got me beaten on rifles end shotguns," he went on, producing from 1ls hip pocket a flat, effectIve-looking auto- matic 1110(01 of 110avy ett.liber, "How are you on small arms?"
