SYNOPSIS
CHAPTER .XI: After a fruitless
search, 'Yuen confronts Dick and
Rose. He threatens to torture
Rose. Dick stalls him off. Finally
Tucu decides that the treasure Is
only a figment of old Captain Bed_
ford's imagination. Taking Dick
back to the lugger, he and his
crew leave the schooner.
CHAPTER XII
The gale was stiffening every
minute, and the work of getting
under way was hurried. With al-
most bare poles the lugger would
have great difficulty in standing
up hi the wind and rough sea. A
giant wave swept the deck. With
a yell Dick tried to save himself,
but with his arms tied behind his
back he was as helpless as a child.
He rolled over and over, and was
saved at the last minute by Black
Burley, who jerked him back in
the nick of time.
"Cut these ropes," Dick splut-
tered, "and give me a chance. An-
other wave like that will finish me."
Captain Tucu nodded to his mate.
"Cut 'ern an' take him below."
Dick waited his chance. He lead
definitely decided to trust bis life
to the sea again and to try to
reach the schooner. Better die
battling with the elements than sail
away with the black pirates. He
stood a moment, stretching his
limbs, and watching the heaving
seas. Another wave, smaller than
the first, but big enough to give
1•iim an excuse, swept over the bow
of the lugger and rolled aft.
* * *
allr When it struck him, he gave an-
other yell, as if calling for help,
but instead of resisting the mass
of green waters he plunged straight
into them and assisted them in
carrying him overboard. Black
Burley made a grab for him with
his Tong arms, but Dick ducked in
time to elude them.
Shaking the brine out of his eyes,
he began swimming, holding his
head as high out of the water as
he could. He made no resistance
to the waves, but swam with them,
striving to keep on- their crests for
better observation. A light twinkl-
ed out of the darkness, but he
wasn't sure whether it came frons
the lugger or the schooner.
He conserved his strength as
much as possible, swimming easily
and treading water every time he
was swept on the crest of a wave.
Prom this pinnacle he had a wide
glimpse of the sea; but the dark-
ness now shut out everything, and
neither the lugger nor the schooner
was visible.
"I've missed it," he groaned once.
"I should have been there before
this." •
In the midst of his bitter reflec-
tions his hand . caught something
that startled him.
It was a watersoaked rope!
His mind nimbly leaped from
despair to hope. He clutched
eagerly at the mass of slimy` ropes
that before had been sea monsters
and slippery eels. Now they were
life lines flung out to help him.
Their continued lashing and twist-
ing were real and substantial. He
was not dreaming.
He began clawing at them, pull-
ing himself frons one mass of rig-
ging to another. When his hands
came in contact with a floating
spar, and it bobbed up and nearly
smashed his face, he laughed in
glee instead of cursing. If he could
crawl up the wreckage to the
schooner's deck he would be safe.
Again and again the waves broke
his hold and flung him back, jerk-
ing the ropes from, his hands, and
casting hien hopelessly adrift; but
a succeeding comber would restore
them to him. 'He grew more cau-
tious, climbing upward' between
waves, and holding on for dear
life each time one swept over his
head.
* * *
In this way he slowly pulled
himself up the mass of wreckage
until, between waves, he was out
of the water. Then: came the bat-
tering of his body against the side
of the schooner.
Finally a giant wave carried him
clear over the rail and dropped him
heavily on the deck where he lay
sprawled for some moments, gasp-
ing for breath, and groaning from
tre effects of tre teriffic struggle.
The crests of the surging waves
reached him even here, but they
no longer had the power to use
him as a battering ram. By cling-
ing to a deck stanchion, he could
resist then and recover his wind
and strength.
When he finally raised his head
and looked around the wave -swept
deck, lie had a queer feeling that
all his efforts had been in vain.
The schooner- was abandoned, with
him as the only living being aooard.
A little startled by his discovery,
he began crawling in the direction
of the cabin. If Rose and her father
were aboard he would find them
there, for the wet, slippery deck
was no place for them, and they
could not hope to navigate the
derelict on such a wild night.
* * *
When he reached the head of
the companion, a welcome ray of
light came through the open door
of the cabin, bringing joy and re-
lief to his tortured mind. Rose was
below with her father, watching,
hoping, and praying or stoically
awaiting their fate.
Dick staggered to his feet and
started down the steps; but be-
fore he had taken one, sounds of
a muffled commotion halted him.
Craninghis bead forward, he lis-
tened, peering intently through the
murky gloom until his eyes came
to a focus on something lying half
across the threshold witr a little
Start of surprise, he recognized the
body of one of the two Caribs left
behind on the schooner.
A reddish clot of blood in the
middle of the forehead told him
where a bullet had entered and
brought his life to a sudden end.
From inside the cabin came the
lo',v, shifting sound of a word-
less conflict, with the combatants
struggling back and forth in a dead-
ly embrace, their breath coming
in short; wheezy gasps.

The second Carib had disarmed
Rose, and with one powerful hand
pinning her against the wall he was
trying tb encircle her waist with

rage, Dick sprang at, the brute,
catching him by the neck, and with
a jerk wrenched his head back.
Then looping an arm around the
neck he pried the head backward
until he could get a strangle hold
on the windpipe.

man, with a head as hard as a
battering ram, and arms and legs
as thick and solid as tree trunks,

ntioy School
Lesson
The Church Reaches Out
Acts 16: 11-15, Phil: 2: 5-11,
Golden Text. — 1 n do all
things in him that strengthened
me.—Philippians 4; 13.
Paul's Obedience
Linder the direct guidance of the
Holy Spirit Paul is called to preach
in Macedonia. The promptness with
which Paul responded to the guid-
ance of God, no matter how it
came is worthy of careful and
constant imitation. In such prompt
and exact obedience is found one
of the greatest secrets not only of
a happy, but an efficient life.
If we respond at once to God's
leadership, the way becomes clear-
er and clearer. If we falter, the
guiding light grows dimmer and
dimmer until it goes out in corn-
Plete darkness, and we are left to
grope our way alone.
Jesus, the Man
Paul knew Jesus as we all must
come to know Him, that is, by the
revelation of the Spirit.
Jesus is shown to have the
"form of God" an expression which
asserts the eternity of His Person
and His Deity," Jesus is also de-
scribed as "equal with God." In
order to become a man Jesus laid
aside the glory which He had "with
the Father and , took upon Himself
man's nature. This seas necessary
for Him to be received as a man
among men. But in assuming man's
nature He dirt not pal take of man's
sin. Jesus came in the form of a
man to lie a servant of all men.
Sharing With Jesus
The exhortation in verse 5 is
that we shall share the humiliation
Jesus suffered: we shall be humbly
His servants and the servants of
mankind; we shall seek to save the
lost by seeking to bring them to
Jesus Christ, their only Savior.
We are to have the mind of Jesus
Christ in the sense of true faith,
obedience to God, love for the
Word of God, faithfulness in prayer
and longing for God's holiness.
Chemical Bombs
To Fight Fires
Chemical bombs weighing 450
pounds will be used to attack for-
est fires in Australia this summer.
Royal Australian Air Force planes,
which previously have been used
only for spotting purposes, will
carry the bombs on routine forest
patrols. These plans were revealed
at the opening of the Victorian
Forest Commission Fire Fighters'
camp, when the opinion was ex-
pressed that the bombs would be
effective if dropped on fires when
first detected. The burst will cover
an area of 400 square yards, bombs
being dropped from 300 feet.
Big Pay Roll
The Canadian National Railways
with an average- payroll of 100,000
is the largest' employer of labor in
Canada: With annual purchases as
high as 100 million dollars, it is
the, biggest individual buyer of
materials in the Dominion.
Sunshine Oils
This is the period of the year
for starting children on Cod Liver
Oil again. Without sunshine or
fish liver oil, healthy bone and
tooth development is not possible,
say the health authorities. The use
of fish' liver oils for children, par-
ticularly in winter, is recommended,
in the booklet "Canada's Food
Rules", available through the De-
partment of Health and National
Welfare.
Lunch Boxes
Lunches to "take out" should
consist of more than a mere sand-
wich. Advice to those making up
"box lunches": Put in a raw car-
rot sticks, fresh tomatoes, cooked
or prepared fruit, in a covered paper
container, and a bat or cold drink
in a thermos bottle. These will
add variety and food value to the
lunch.

Says Rheumatic Pain
Runs in her Family
But Safeguards Health
With Kruschen
Many people seem to think, because a
complaint runs in the family, that there
is little they can do about it. On the
contrary, all the more reason for taking
steps to avoid it. Especially if that
complaint is rheumatic pain. Read how
one woman keeps free from it:—
"Rheumatic pain runs in my family.
My father suffered very badly with it.
I have been taking Kruschen Salta, off
and on, for about seven years, a little
morning dose, in my first cup of tea.
Kruschen is a great help, in keeping
rheumatic pain out of my shoulder&
My general health is very good. I am
57 and can do a day's work with anyone.
I would not be without Kruschen."—
(Mrs.)
ruschen."—(Mrs.) A.B.B.
The whole secret of Kruschen is in its
action upon the organs of elimination.
Kruschen helps these organs to remove
from the body the acid deposits which
give rise to rheumatic pain. So try the
Inman' dose of Kruschen for the next
month or so. For rheumatic pain, take
half to one teaspoonful in hot water Grab
thing in the morning. Two sizes: 25c and
75c at your drug store.
