Twenty minutes later tliey heard
the engines and knew the ship would
quickly be on her way. Aylmer and
Maine returned to work and Jane
presently faced the drizzle of ashes
from above andn.o ent deck. The
w
engines were' quickening and a wake
of foam began to widen astern as
the Iguana gained speed. ' -
Then the terrific thing happened,
while the little steamer was as yet
coo near the island to say whether
its destruction would entail her own.
They were perhaps thirty miles frpm
Table Top when, like the curtain of
a theatre, the cloud which enfolded
it rose to the sky and the mass be-
came 'visible. For a moment it
glared like a mighty bonfire spouting
flame to the zenith, then, convulsed
to the core, it moved, was lifted, as
it seemed, upward and immediately
sank into the sea,
One moment its towers and ram-
parts beetled blazing on the horizon
and the next it toppled in a huge
welter of fire and foam leaving a
mighty whirlpool and tide -race to
mark its descent and creating a vol-
ume of immense sound, that after the
passage of some . seconds, crashed
upon their ears.
It was then that Costa set about
to save his ship and took the only
course to do it.. Maine had already
guessed at what rust quickly come,
but the captain was ahead of him
and knew it would be inevitable. He
also' believed that no other soul on
the ship shared Isis knowledge. There-
fore, with rare presence of mind he
addressed his crew and explained a
coming manoeuvre that in their ig-
norance they might think madness.
He could not talk aloud, but spoke
to. his mate, Ricardo • Palma.
"When you fling a stone into a
pond there rises a wave," he said,
"and that wave' will speed on until
it reaches the banks of the pond. Now

himself by his lifelong practice of
finding faults and flaws with every-

each has a physical disability.
