TREASURE
OP THE SEA
By George E. Walsh
SYNOPSIS
CHAPTER VII, Dick tells the girl
his story and she in turn gives him
an account of himself, her father
and the ship.Her name, she reveals
le Rose Bedord. The crew deserted
in a storm and she and her father
*ere left alone on board.
For three days and nights the
' schooner had been buffeted about
by waves and wind, a plaything of
the sea, drifting without guidance
or direction. The chance of bring•
ing order out of chaos seemed an
insurmountable task for a woman.
and almost in despair Rose was
about ready to yield to the inevi-
table when the lugger appeared.
But her fighting spirit. in spite
of its low ebb, had not entirely de
serted her. The lugger's crew and
suspicious character had awaken-
ed a worse fear in her mind. A
fate more to be dreaded than drift-
ing helplessly around on a derelict
aroused her. In desperation she
determined to defend the schooner
against the Caribs,.selling her own
life as dearly as possible.
Dick Jordan's appearance as an
ally immediately stiffened her
courage. They discussed the situ-
ation calmly and practically on
deck after a refreshing cup of cof•
fee in the cabin with Captain Bed•
ford. "We have plenty of arms
aboard," she told Dick. "Father al-
ways carried a regular arsenal,"
"Three of us, then, well armed,"
he replied. "can put up a pretty
stiff fight."
"Two," she said. shaking her
head. "We 'must leave father out
of it I don't dare trust him with
a weapon. He might turn it upon
us in one of his wild moods."
* * *
Dick nodded, recalling the
friendly overtures the captain had
made to the boarding party
against his daughter's " wishes.
"Wouldn't it be ..safer to confine
hint to the cabin?" he asked after
a pause, "He would be safe there,
and out of the way."
"Yes, I thought of that." she
nodded, "We could lock him in
there. If things got desperate we
would retreat to the cabin That
would be our final stand. I'd like
father with me then."
"That's the only thing to do.
Where is he now?"
"Dozing below. IIe always
sleeps after taking a glass. I'll go
down now, and lock him in while
he's asleep."
Dick paced the deck restlessly
while sire was gone. The lugger
had dropped anchor at a safe die.
tante from the schooner. Every
thing was quiet aboard her. with
no evidence that another plan of
attack was brewing.
"Tutu will wait until it's dark,"
he mused. "Then under cover of
night he'll attack from several
quarters. That's his plan."
* * *
When Rose appeared again he
Meld her Ills belief, and she agreed
with him.
"You haven't such a thing as a
•gearchlight aboard. I suppose?" he
tueried.
"No," she smiled. "schooners
are not usually equipped with each
modern improvements."
"Well." glancing up at the sky,
"it's going to be moonlight unlit
one or two o'clock. After that it
will be black as ink. Until then 1
think we're safe."
"Then we'd better take turns
resting." she replied practically.
"I'11 take the first watch."
Their long vigil began the mo-
ment the sun set and the shadows
of night began creeping across the
ocean. Twilight was succeeded by
intense darkness. which brought
them to alert watchfulness. This
laeted for half an hour until the
moon came up and dispelled the
gloom. It cast a broad path of
white light that revealed every ob-
ject almost as clearly as in the day
time. The lugger lay directly in
this broad streak of light, enabling
them to see all that took place
aboard. It was better than a
search -light.
`If it would only last until morn-
ing,' Dick remarked, "we would
not have much fear in the way of
a surprise."
The night wore on without any-
thing happening. Their talk was
running into personal mattcra
when a cloud drifted across the face
of the moon. and temporarily dar•
kened the sea. They started up
with a jump. as if it were a sign
of trouble. Dick laughed after the
first shock.
"I thought the moon had gone."
he said. "It's only midnight, and
we have it with us a couple of
hours yet."
"I'm afraid not," she replied.
"Look at those clouds. A cloud'
night is almost as dark as a moon•
less one."
"Storm clouds, aren't they?"
She nodded and looked worried.
"Another storm now, she mut,
mured, "would about finish us."
* * *
The fear of another storm. how-
ever, was secondary to the danger
threat ening them from the lugger.
"We mustn't keep together."'
Rose whispered finally. "We must
divide the watch. I'll take the stern
and you the bow. We can meet o•1
our rounds and report."
It was the only sensible thing to
do, but Dick hated to be seperated
from her in the darkness. Besides
missing her companionship. ne
was afraid something might hap•
pen to her when he wasn't present
to lend his assistance. Suppose
the Cariba chose the stern for the
attack and overwhelmed her be•
fore he knew of her danger!
He made his circuit of the for-
ward deck a little hastily and reek•
lesely and found himself at the
meeting place long before she had
completed her round. When he
saw her finally emerge from the
gloom, he drew a sigh of relief,
"All well?" he asked.
She nodded, and after a few 013-
meats of pause she turned to re-
new her beat.

Paul's Conversion to Christ
Acts 26: 9-18; 1 Cor. 15: 8-10.
` Golden Text. Faithful is the

Saul, the Persecutor
A new heart marked the con-
version' of Saul, the Pharisee.'Per-
secuting every Christian, he could
reach, Saul "made havoc of the
church" in Jerusalem. IIe desired
and undertook utterly to uproot
and destroy Christianity.
Hearing of the vigorous church
at Damascus Saul secured from the
high priest at Jerusalem authority
to go to Damascus and arrest the
Christians in that city and bring
them to Jerusalem for trial.
The Lord allowed Saul to go far
in his mad career, but at the prop-
er time He put forth His hand and
saved the little flock at Damascus.
Saul, the Penitent
- The "light out of heaven" that
suddenly shone around Saul was
the light of Christ's resurrection
glory. It was about noon, but the,
glory of the light that surrounded
our risen Lord was above the
brightness of the sun.
What a moment of awful and
overwhelming shame it must have
been in Saul's life when it fully

In The First Watch
By William McFee
William McFee here tells of his
life in British tramp steamers as
third, second and chief engineer
until he left England for the United
States and a different way of life.
McFee was a marine engineer by
profession and choice. The sea was
his life, It «as what he wanted to
do. In his watch below he had time
to read, think and to write.
There were happy ships and
hard cases. We hear of days and
nights ashore, of skippers and
Briefs, of friendships made and lost,
of storms and quiet harbors, of the
endless problenitof coal, of break-
downs and leaky boilers. There is
the story of the mate and the
downy- faced young sailor, with its
amazing denouement; of the first
assistant Brown; of the girl in
Rouen; of the lady journalist in
Fleet Street; of Mme. Valerie's
dressmaking establishment in
Princes Park, Liverpool, and what
happened there when the ship came
back after a fourteen -months' voy-
age. -

Paul, the Apostle
A new life marked the consecra-
tio of Paul the apostle. Paul had
a deep sense of his own unworthi-
ness before God and of God's won-
drous grace toward him. He never
forgot that he had persecuted the
Church of God, but was ever grate-
ful for the privilege of recognizing
Jesus as his Saviour and Lord.
Paul, the once bitter enemy of
Christians, was so changed in
character and conduct that he rose
to a position of first importance in
apostolic piety and power.
The Grace of God bestowed up-
on him .was not in vain but stimu-
lating and effectual. By grace alone
he surpassed in amount and quality
of work accomplished all others
who had seen and served the liv-
ing Christ, Thus abundant labor
was wrought through abundant
grace.
