CHAPTER II.
Wv~~ hex the Sirdar parted amid
ships the floor of the saloon
heaved up in the center with
a mighty crash of rend lint
woodwork und trun. Men and women,
too stupefied to sob out a prayer, were
pitched headlong into chaos. Iris, torn
from the terrified grasp of her maid,
fell through a corridor and yoi Id have
gone down with the ship had not a
sailor, clinging t,. a companion ladder,
caught her us she whirled along the
steep slope of the deck.
He did not know what had happen
ed. With the instinct of self preserva
tion he seised the nearest support
when the vessel struck. It was the
mere Impulse of ready helpfulness that
Caused him to stretch out his left arm
stud clasp the girl's waist as she flutter
ed past. By idle chance they were on
the port side, and the ship, after paus
ing for one awful second, fell over to
starboard.
The man was not prepared for tills
second gyration. Even as the stair
way canted lie lost his balance; they
were both thrown violently through
tlw open hatchway and swept off Into
the boiling surf. Under such condi
tions thought Itself was Impossible. A
?erics of Impressions, a number of fan
tastic pictures, were received by the be
numbed faculties and afterward pain
fully sorted out by the memory. Fear,
anguish, amazement?none of these
?-ripId exist. All he knew was that the
lifeless form of a woman?for Iris had
happily fainted must be lield until
death Itself wrenched her from him.
Then there enine the headlong plunge
Into the swirling sea, followed by 1111
Indefinite period of gasping oblivion
Something that felt like n moving rook
rose uj) beneath his feet. He was driv
en clear out of the water and seemed to
recognize a familiar object rising rigid
and bright close at hand. It "was the
pinnacle pillar, screwed to a portion of
the deck which came away from the
chart house, and was rent from the up
per framework by contact with the
reef. lie se zed this unlooked for sup
port with his disengaged hand.
A uniformed figure la- thought It
"was the captain stretched out an un
availing arm to clasp the queer reft
?which supported tie sailor and the
girl, hut a Jealous wave rose under
the platform with devilish energy and
turned It completely over, hurling the
man with his Inanimate burden Into
the depths. lie rose, lighting madly
for his life. Now surely he was doom
ed. Iiut again, as if human existence
depended on naught mole serious than
the spinning of a coin, his l nccs rested
?on the same few stanch timbers, now
the celling of the inuulc room, and lie
"was given a brief respite. Ills great
est difficulty was to got his breath, so
?dense was the spray through which
he was driven. Even In that terrible
moment he kept his senses. The girl,
utterly unconscious, showed by the
convulsive heaving of her breast that
she was choking. With a wild effort
he swung her head round to shield her
front the flying send with his own
form.
The tiny air space thus provided
gave her some relief, and in that In
stant the sailor seemed to recognize
her. He was not remotely capable of a
'definite idea. Just as he vaguely real
ized the identity of the woman in his
arms the unsteady support on which
lie rested toppled over. Again he re
newed the unequal contest. A strong,
resolute man and a typhoon sea wres
tled for supremacy.
This time his feet plunged against
something gratefully solid. He was I
daahed forward, still battling with the <
raging turmoil of water, and a second ,
time he felt the same firm yet smooth j
surface. Ills dormant faculties awoke
It was sand. With frenzied deapcra
tion. buoyed now by the Inspiring hope
of safety, be fought IiIh way onward
iike a maniac.
Often he fell. Three times did the
backwash try to drag him to the
swirling death behind, but he staggered
blindly on. on, until even the tearing
gale ceased to be laden with the suffo
cating foam, and his faltering feet
Bank in deep soft white sand.
Then he fell, not to rise again. With
a last weak flicker of exhausted
*trength he drew the girl closely to
tilm, and the two lay clasped tightly
together, heedless now of all things.
How long the man remained pros
trnte he could only guess subsequently.
The Sirdar struck soon after day
break. and the sailor awoke to a hazy
consciousness of Ills surroundings to
find a shaft of sunshine flickering
through the clouds banked up In the
east. The gale was already passing
away. Although the wind still whis
tled with shrill violence. It was more
blustering than threatening. The sea
too, though running very high, had re
treated many yards from the spot
?where he had finally dropped, and Its
?urface was no longer scourged with
venomous spray.
Slowly and painfully he raised him
self to a sitting posture, for be was
bruised and stiff. With his first move
ment be became violently 111. He had
?wallowed much salt water, and It
was not until the spasm of sickness
bad passed that be thought of the girl.
"She cannot be (load." be hoarsely
murmured, feebly trying to lift .her
"Surely t'rorldcnce would uot desert
her after such au escape. What a
weak beggar I must be to give In at
the last moment! 1 am mire she was
living when we got ashore. What on
earth cun?I do to revive her?"
Forgetful of Ids owu uehlug limbs In
this newborn anxiety, he sank on one
knee and gently pillowed Iris' head and
shoulders on the other. Her eyes were
closed, her Hps and teeth firmly set?a
fact to which she undoubtedly owed
her life, else she would have been suf
focated and the pallor of her skin
seemed to be that terrible bloodless
hue which Indicates death. The stern
lines In the man's face relaxed, and
something blurred Ids vision. He wus
weak from exhaustion and want of
food. For the moment his emotions
were easily aroused.
"Oh. it is pitiful!" be almost whim
pered. "It cannot be!"
With a gesture of despair he drew
the sleei e of Ids thick Jersey across his
eyes to clear them from the gathering

mist. Then he tremblingly endeavored
to open the neok of her dress. He was
stnrt.el to Hud the girl's eyes wide
open and surveying him with shadowy
alarm. She was quite eonsei ius.
"Thank Cod!" he erled hoarsely.
"You are alive."
Iler color came back with remarka
ble rapidity. She tried to assume a sit
ting posture, and Instinctively her
hands traveled to her disarranged cos
tume.
"How ridiculous!" she said, with a
Utile note of annoyance in her voice,
which sounded curiously hollow. Hut
her brave spirit eould not yet command
her enfeebled frame. She was perforce
compelled to sink back to the support
of his knee and arm.
"lio you think you could lie quiet un
til 1 try to And some water?" lie gasp
ed anxiously.
She nodded a childlike acquiescence,
and her eyelids fell. It was only that
her eyes smarted dreadfully from the
salt water, but the sailor was sure
that this was a premonition of a lapse
to unconsciousness.
"Please try not to faint again," he
said. "Don't you think I had better
loosen these things? You can breathe
more easily."
A ghost of a smile flickered on her
lips. "No?no." she murmured. "My
eyes htiv me that Is all. Is there?
au.v -w;
He la he te iderly on the sand and
rose to is !vct. His tirst glance was
toward i t <e.. He saw something
I which ; ... c h :n blink with astonish
meat. A l.oavy sen was still running
over the lia rlor reef wlilch Inclosed a
small l.v i>: >11. The contrast between
the fletci 'munition outside nud the
comparai e!y smooth surface of the
protecte i >1 was very marked. At
low till tie lagoon was almost com
pletely i a.ted. Indeed he imagined
that ot a tierce gale blowing from
the not v est would enable the waves
to leap il e reef, save where a strip of
broken water, surging far Into the
small m.tural harbor, betrayed the po
sition of the tiny entrance.
Yet at this very point a fine cocoanut
palm reared its stately column high In
air. and Its long, tremulous fronds were
now swinging wildly before the gale.
From where he atood It appeared to
be growing in the midst of the sea, for
huge breakers completely hid the coral
embuukment. This sentinel of the land
had a weirdly impressive efTect. It
was the only tixed object In the waste
of foam capped waves. Not a vestige
of the Sirdar remained seaward, but
the sand was littered with wreckage,
and? mournful spectacle?a considera
ble number of Inanimate human forms
lay huddled up amid the relics of the
steamer.
This discovery stirred him to action.
He turned to survey the larid on whl .h
be was stranded with his helpless con
pauion. To his great relief lie dlseav
i
ore., that It vat lofty and tree clad.
He knew thai tl e si Ip could not have

that nine of the Islanders laid put In
an appearance. In any event water
and food of some s irt were assured.
Hut before setting out upon his quest
two things demanded attention. The :
girl must be removed from bcr present

, crmlt her tlrst conscious gaze to rest .
upon those crumpled objects on the j

she had managed to refusteu part of
her bodice.
"You must permit me to carry you a
little farther Inland," he explained
gently.
Without another word he lifted her t
In his arms, marveling somewhat at
the strength which came of necessity,
and bore her some little distance until
a sturdy rock jutting out of the satul
offered shelter from the wind and pro
tection from the sea and Its revela
tions.
"I am so cold and tired." murmured
Iris. "Is there any water? My throat
hurts me."
lie pressed back the tangled hair
from her forehead as he might soothe
a child.
"Try to lie still for a very few mln
utcs," he said. "You have not long to
suffer. I will return Immediately."
Ills own throat and palate were on
fire owing to the brine, but he first
hurried bnok to the edge of the lagoon.
There were fourteen bodies In all, three
women and eleven men, four of the
latter being l.ascars. The women were
saloon passengers whom he did not
know. One of the men was the sur
geon, another the first officer, a third
Sir John Tozer. The rest were passen
gers and members of the crew. They
were all dead; some had been peaceful
ly drowned, others were fearfully
mangled by the rocks. Two of the Las
cars, hearing signs of dreadful Injuries,
were lying on a cluster of low rocks
overhanging the water. The remainder
rested on the sand.
The sailor exhibited no visible emo
tion while he conducted his sad scru
tiny. When he was assured that this
silent company was beyond mortal help
he at once strode away toward the
nearest belt of trees. lie could not tell
how long the search for water might
lie protrn'-ted, and there was pressing
need for It.
When he reached the first clump of
brushwood ho uttered a delighted ex
clamation. There, growing In prodigal
luxuriance, was the beneficent pitcher
plant, whose large curled up leaf, sliup
ed like a teacup, not only holds a lnst
lng quantity of rain water, but mixes
therewith Its own palatable and nat
ural Juices.
With his knife he severed two of
the leaves and hastened to Iris with
the precious beverage. She heard him
and managed to raise herself on an el
bow. The poor girl's eyes glistened at
tlic pr >spoet of relief. Without a word
of question or surprise she swallowed
the contents of both leaves.
Then she found utterance. "How
odd it tastes. What Is It?" she In
quired,
But the eagerness with which she
quenched her thirst renewed ills own
momentarily forgotten torture. His
tongue seetned to swell. He was ab
solutely unable to reply.
The water revived Iris like a magic
draft. Her quick intuition told her
what had happened.
"You have had none yourself 1" she
cried. "Go at once and get some! And
please bring me some more!"
He required no second bidding. Aft
er hastily gulping down the contents
of several leaves he returned with a
further supply. Iris was now sitting
up. The sun Inul burst royally through
the clquds, and her chilled limits were
gaining some degree of warmth and
elasticity.
"What is it?" alio repented after an
other delicious draft.
"The leaf of the pitcher plant. Na
ture is not always cruel. In an un
usually generous wood she devised this
method of storing water."
Miss Ltonne reached out her hand
for more. Her troubled brain refused
to wonder at such a reply from an ordi
nary seaman. The sailor deliberately
spilled the contents of a remaining leaf
on the sand.
"No, madam." he said, with an odd
mixture of deference and firmness. "No
more at present. I must first procure
you some food."
She looked up at him in momentary
silence.
"The ship is lo t she said after a
pause.
"Yes, madam."
"Are we the only people saved?"
"I fear so."
"Is this a desert island?"
"I think not, madam. It may by
chnms> be temporarily uninhabited, but
fishermen from China come to all these
places. I have seen no other living be
ings except ourselves. Nevertheless
the Islanders may live on the south
side."
"It surely cannot be possible that the
Sirdar has gone to pieces?a magnifi
cent vessel of her size and strength?"
He answered quietly: "It is too true,
madam. I suppose you hardly knew
site struck. It happened so suddenly.
Afterward, fortunately for you, you
were unconscious."
"How do you know?" she Inquired
quickly. A flood of vivid recollection
was pouring In upon her.
"I?er?well. I happeued to be near
you. madam, when the ship broke up,
and we?er?drifted ashore together."
She rose and fat ed him. "I rernem
oer now. si.e cried hysterically. "You
caught me ns I wm thrown Into the
ocrrldor. We fell Into the sea when
the vessel turned over. You have saved
my life. Were It not for you I could
not possibly lu ve escaped."
S'. e g oil : ? hi::: more earnestly, see
ing that he l>ln lied beneath the crust
of s: It and s. a 1 that covered his fa e
"Why." she v ent on. with growing ex
citement, "you are the steward I no
ticed In the saloon yesterday. How
is It that you are now dressed us a
sailor?"
He answered readily enough. "There
was uu accident on board during the
gale, madam. I am a fair sailor, hut
a poor steward, so I applied for a
trunsf r. As the crew was short hand
ed, my offer was accepted."
Iris was uow looking at him Intently.
"You saved my life." she repeated
llowiy. It seemed that this obvious
Juct needed to lie indelibly established
tn her mind. Indeed the girl was over
wrought by all that she had gone
through. Only by degrees were her
thoughts marshaling themselves with
lucid coherence. As yet she recalled so
many dramatic Incidents that they
failed to assume due proportion.
Hut quickly there came memories of
Captaii. Uoss, of Sir John and Lady
Toxer, of the doctor, her maid, the
hundred and one individualities of her
pleasant life aboard ship. Could it be
that they were all dead? ThtyVot: in
was monstrous. Hut its ghastly signif
icance was instantly borue in upon her
by the plight in which she stood. Iler
lips quivered; the tears trembled in her
eyes.
"Is it really true that all the ship's
company except ourselves are lost?"
she brokenly detuunded.
The sailor's gravely earnest glance
fell before hers. "Unhappily there is
nu room iur uiniiii, ui< saiu.
"Are you quite, quite sure?"
"I am sure?of some." Involuntarily
he turned seawurd.
She understood him. She sank to her
knees, eovered her face with her hands
and broke into a passion of weeping.
With a look of infinite pity he stooped
and would have touched her shoulder,
but lie suddenly restrained the im
pulse. Something had hardened this
man. It cost him an effort to be cal
lous, but he succeeded. Ills mouth
tightened, and his expression lost its
tenderness.
"Come, come, my dear lady," he ex
claimed, and there was a tinge of stud
ied roughness in his voice, "you must
calm yourself. It is the fortune of
shipwreck as well as of war, you
know. We are alive and must look
after ourselves. Those who have gone
are beyond our help."
"Hut not beyond our sympathy,"
wailed Iris, uncovering her swimming
eyes for a fleeting look at him. Even
In the utter desolation of the moment
she could not help marveling that this
queer mannered sailor, who spoke like
a gentleman and tried to pose as her
inferior, who had rescued her with the
utmost gallantry, who carried his quix
otic zeal to the point of first supplying
her needs when he was in far worse
case himself, should be so utterly in
different to the fate of others.
He waited silently until her sobs
ceased.
"Now, madam," he said, "it i essen
tial that we should obtain some food.
I don't wish to leave you alone until
we are better acquainted with our
whereabouts. Can you walk a little
way toward the trees, or shall I assist
you?"
Iris Immediately stood up. She press
ed her hair back defiantly.
"Certainly I can walk," she answer
ed. "What do you propose to do?"
"Well, madam"?
"What is your name?" she interrupt
ed Imperiously.
"Jenks, madam. Robert Jenks."
"Thank you. N'ow listen. Mr. Robert
Jenks. My name is Miss Iris Deune.
On board ship I was a passenger and
you were a steward?that Is. until you
became a seaman. Ilere we are equals
in misfortune, but in all else you are
the leader. I am quite useless. I can
only help In matters by your direction.

so I do not wish to be addressed as
'madam' in every breath. Do you un
derstand me?"
''As you wish. Miss Deane." be said.
"The fact remains that I have many
things to attend to. and we really must
eat something."
"What can we iat?''
''Let us tud out." he replied, scan
ning the ue-.rest trees with keen scru
tiny.
They plodded together through the
sand In :!c:n p. Physic-ally they were
a superb couple, but in raiment they
resi ml.led scarecrows. Both, of course,
were bareheaded. T1 e sailor's Jersey
and trousers were old and torn, uud
the se i water still southed loudly In
his heavy boots with each step.
But Iris was In a deplorable plight.
Her hair fell In a great wave of gold
en brown strands over her neck tyid
shoulders. Every hairpin had vanish
ed, but with a few dexterous twists
?he colled the flying tresses Into a
loose knot. Her beautiful muslin dress
was rent and draggled. It was drying
rapidly under the ever Increasing pow
er of the sun, and she surreptitiously i
endeavored to complete the fastening
of the open portion about her neck.
Suddenly he gave u glad shout. "By
Jove, Miss Deane, we are in luck's
way! There Is a flue plantain tree."
The pangs of hunger could not be re
sisted. Although the fruit was hardly
ripe. they tore nt the great bunches
and ate ravenously. Iris made no pre
| tense in the matter, and the sailor was
I In worse plight, for he had been on
duty continuously since 4 o'clock the
previous afternoon.
At last their appetite was somewhat
appeased, though plantains might not
appeal to a gourmand as the solitary
Joint.
"Now," decided Jenks, "you must
rest here a little while. Miss Deane.
I'm going beck to the beach. You need
not be afraid. There are no animals to
harm you, and I will not be far away." -
"What are you going to do on the i
beach ?" she demanded. I
"To rescue stores, for the most part." i
"May I not come with you. I can be j
I of some little service surely?"
He answered slowly: "Please oblige {
me by remaining here at present. In j
less than an hour I will return, and j
I 4-K?,v nAehnna ?s.. ^SlI 44 ?-? ,3 ? 1 4._ 4.~ 2

She read his meaning intuitively and |
shivered. "1 could not do that," she j
murmured. "I would faint. While you
are away I will pray for theni, my un- ' j
fortunate friends." j
As lie passed from her side he heard i j
her sobbing quietly.
When he reached the lagoon he halt- 1 I
ed suddenly. Something startled him. ; i
He was quite certain that he had j
counted fourteen corpses. Now there <
were only twelve. The two Lascars' '
bodies which rested on the small group >
of rocks ou the verge of the lagoon had j
vanished.
Where bad they gone?
