BY EDWARD J. CLODE ? < ? a 1 ? /TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT' With his hands grasping the taut and lu one Menus irresponsive media u ism of a steering wheel governed by steam a Bailor can "feel" the move ment of his ship. a seaworthy vessel lielng a llriiiK thins, obedient an a doc ile horse to the least touch of the rein. But lu the unlikely event of fortune favoring Courtenay to the extent of giving him an opportunity to see the earning danger it was essential that the ship should have a certain radius of action apart from the direction and force of the ocean stream. The two sails were helpful, and It was to as sure himself of their efficiency that he put the helm to starlsiard. The Kan sas obeyed with an answering roll to l>ort, showing clearly that she wis traveling a little faster than the in rushing title would take her unaided. He brought her head back to nor'east again and glanced over Ills shoulder at the ship's chrovometer. It was a quar ter to 1. Two hours must pass before he would discern the first faint streaks of light. At any rate. If be wcr? spared to greet the dawn It would lie right ahead, and, as a few seconds might then lie of utmost value, that was a small point in his favor. Yet, two hours! Could he dare to hope for so long a respite? How could the ship escape tlie unnumbered fangs which a Btorm torn land thrust far out Into the Pacific for Its own protection? lie was quite sheltered from the wind and spray in the chart house, and all at once lie became aware of a burn ing thirst. There was water in a de canter close at hand, so lie indulged lu a long drink. That was wonderfully vivifying. I In n ins iniiiil turned long lngly to tobacco. For the llrst tlmo In bin life lie broke the strict rule of the service In which lie had been trn IikhI and smoked a cigar vvlillo on duty. Now and again lie spoke cheerily to the dog: "Well, Joey, here we are: still got a bark lu us!" or "You ami 1 must have our names on the admiralty chart, Joey?'Channel surveyed by Captain Courtenay and pup; details uncertain.' How does that sound, old chap?" And again: "I suppose your friend. Miss Maxwell, Is asleep by this time. If she calls you Joey, do you call her Klsle? 1 rather fancy Klsle as a name. What do you thinkV" To all of which the dog, who had found a dry corner, would respond with a smile anil a tail wag. The long wait In the darkness would have broken many a man's nerve, but Courtenay was not cast In a mold to be either bent or broken by fear. When his cigar mm not lu Ills uioiilh he whistled, he hummed snatches of Hongs and delivered short loot tires to Joey on the absurdity of things in gen eral cud (he epccJ.1l ridiculousness of Mich a might? combination of cl.'cuni stanecs centering on one poor ship as liad foreg.i there 1 to crush the Kansas. Ever sin c he was nrotscd from sleep by the stopping of the screw his mlnU had dwelt on the unprecedented naturo of the breakdown. Kvon before he dis covered Its cause he was wondering what evil chance had contrived to crip ple the engine at such a moment?In the worst possible place on the map. "Joey," he said suddenly, his thoughts reverting to a chance remark made to him In Valparaiso by Isobcl's father, "what did Mr. Faring mean by saying there was a dilliculty about the Insurance?" Joey gave It up, but bo cookiMl bis cars and looked toward the door. Christobal entered. "Boyle wl'l reoovor." he said when j he had wiped the spray off his faoe. j "He had a narrow escape. The knife ] Just grazed the spinal cord. The shock to the dorsal nerves Inducv'l toni|K>rary paralysis, and that rather misled me. I He is much better now. Uui>r ordinary ] conditions he would be able to Ret | i about iu a few days. As It Is, he will probably live as long as any of us." i Christobal waved a hand toward the , external void, lie was not sailor1 i enough to realize the change In the i weather. i "That is good news," said Courtenay. "I thought you would like to know. , How are things up here?" "Better. The barometer has risen an Inch in less than two hours. Possibly , nearness to the land has some effect, but wind and sea are subsiding." "You surprise Tiie, yet that is uoth- | lng. I have had several surprises to- | night What is the position? Of i course we must hit the South Ameri can continent sooner or later. Can you fix an approximate time?" i "We are making about six knots, 1 fancy. If we are lucky and avoid any stray rocks we should see daylight be fore we reach the coast. That Is our sole hoi>e. The ship Is in a powerful tidnl current, and it Is high water at G:30 a. m. At a rough estimate Han over island is twenty knots distant. Now jou know all. The outcome is mere guesswork." "Why did the furnaces blow up?" "I was cross examining Joey on that point when you came In. lie reserved his opinion. My own view Is that, by accident or design, some explosive sub found Its way Into the coal." "Shem, Ham ai I Jt4ifccth! Explosive -substance! Do you mean dynamite or ?gunpowder or that sort of thing?" ".Something of the kind. That is oni.v a supposition, Imt when 1 whisper ed It to Walker he agreed." "Walker! Is he the man who speaks bo nueerly ?" "If j ou ever go to Newcastle, don't put It that way. I told him to take Miss Maxwell to her cabin. Did he do so?" "Ye*. I have not seen her since, ho I assume that the hromlde plus the wine was effective. Well. I must re turn to my patients. Can I net you anything? I am storekeeper, you know." "No. thanks." "Nothing to eat or drink?" "Nothing. I shall ho ready for a square meal when I am ahle to come below, not before." Chrlstohul smiled. Though lie was a brave man, he thought such persistent optimism was out of place Neverthe less he eould emulate Courteliay's cool ness. "I.et me know when you are ready I am an excellent cook," he said. Then the captain of tlx- Kansas re sumed his smoking and humming, with occasional glances at the clock and the compass and the barometer. At 12 o'clock lie felt the ship slipping from under the wheel. The compass show ed that she was heading a couple of points eastward. He helped her and telephoned Instantly to Walker: "do forward and try If you can make out anything. Ueport to me here." "Aye, aye. Kir!" carno the reply, ami anon Walker appeared. "It'H main thick ahead, air, but I think we-aw |>aHsiu? ail Island to port," said he. "I thought bo. You had better re main here, Walker. We have not long to wait now for the dawn, and four eyes are better than two." Walker Imagined that the skipper was ready for a chat. "Things are In a dweadful mesa tie low, sir. I can't make head or tail of the smash." "Well, that must wait. Don't talk. Keep a sharp lookout." The engineer could not guess that the captain's pulse was beating a trltte more rapidly witli a certain elation. They were undoubtedly passing White Horse Island. It revealed Its presence by deflecting the treuieudous sea river which ferried the Kansas onward at such a rate. In fifteen or twenty min utes Courtenay expected to lind Indica tions of a more northerly set of the tide, and he watched the compass In tently for the first sign of this return to the former course If the ship cross ed the current one way or the other she would certainly be driven ashore on some outlying spur of the lslaml or detached sunken reef; heme lia must actually guess his way. wisome thing of the acquired sense ct the blind, because the slight chance ulti mate escape for the ship i:nd her occU [lauts rested wholly on the assumption that some ocftau byway was leading her to a deep water Inlet, whero It might be possible to drop the r.achor. In eighteen minutes or t-jreacouts the needle moved slightly. Coi-rtena? Mice more assisted the ship v/i.'h tiia helm. She steadied herself, aad tJa jompnps pointed due northeast sgain. Walker, though an engineer, knew enough of navigation to recoju're tho apparent impossibility of tlij captala Being able to steer with any real knowledge of Ills surroundings. The wheel twisting therefore savored of magic. Hut his orders were to look ahead, and he obeyed. Soon he thought he could discern an Irregular pink crescent, with the eon rave side downward, somewhere In the blackness beyond the bows. Speedily It was Joined by two others equally Irregular and somewhat lower. "Captain, d'ye see you?" he asked In n voice tremulous with awe. "Yes. That Is the sun just catching the summits of snow topped hills. It not only foretells the dawn, but Is a sign of flue weather. There are no clouds over the land or we should not nee the peaks." Kre long a silver gray light t>egan to litipcl the gloom. The two silent watchers first saw It overhead, and the vast dome of day swiftly widened over the vexed sea. The aftermath of the storm spread a low, dense cloak of vapor all round. The wind had fallen so greatly that they could hear the Rong of the rigging. Soon they could distinguish the outlines of the heavy rollers near at hand, and Courtenay lielleved that the ship In her passage encountered in the water several nar row bauds of a bright red color. If tills were so. he knew that the phe nomenon was caused by the prawn like crustacea which sailors call "whale food." a sure sigu of deep wa ter close to land and. further, an indi cation that the current'was still flow ing strongly, while the force of the sea must have been broken many uilles 1 to westward. Suddenly he turned to Walker. "I)o you think you could shin up to the masthead?" he asked. "I used to be able to climb a bit, sir." "Well, try the foremast. I'p there I am fairly certain yon can see over this bank of mist LHin't get luto trouble. Come back if you feel you can't man age it If you succeed, take the best observations possible and report." j Courtenay was becoming anxious uow. If lie dareil let go the wheel lie would have cllml>eU the must himself. Walker set about hi* mission lu a businesslike manner, lie threw off tit* thick coat and lioottj and went for ward. Halfway ii'i t.ie must there was a ro|>e ladder for the i <e of the sailors when adjusting pulleys. The rest of the Journey was not dlffl cult for an athletic man. and Wnlker was quickly an Indistinct figure 111 the fog. lie gained the truck all right and Instantly yelled something. Courtenay fancied he said: "Sly God, we-ah on the wocks!" Whatever it was. Walker did not : wait, but slid downward with si:'-h s|>eed that It was fortunate the rig giug barred bis progress. And then, even while Courtenay was shouting some explanation, a great black wall rose out of the deep on the port bow. it was a pinnacle rock higli as the ship's masts, but only a few fi-et wide at ana level, and the Kansas ?sped past tills ugly monitor as though It were a buoy in a well marked chan nel. Courtenay heard the sea breaking against It. The ship could not have been more than sixty feet distant, a I 'M\j Qod, wc-<ih on the wockal* little more thun her own beam, and he fully expeeted that sliw would grind against Home outlier in the next in stant. Hut the Kansas hail a charmed life. Slitt ran on unscathed anil seem ed to he traveling in smoother water after this escape. Walker's dark skin was the color of parchment When he reached the chart house. "Captain," he said weakly, "I'll do owt wi' engines, but I'm no good at this (tame. That thing fairly banged me. l>id je see it?" "Did you see land?" demanded Cour tenay imperatively. His spirits rose with each of these thrills. lie felt that it was ordained that his ship should live. "Yes, sir. The-aw's hills, anil big ones, a long way ahead, but I'm no' goln' up that mast again. It would bo suicide. I'm done. I'll nev-ah fo-got you stone ghost?no, not if I live to be ninety." CHATTER VIII. FOItTCNK has her cycles, wheth er for good or 111. The Kansas, having run the gantlet of many dangers, seemed to have earn ed an approving smile from the fickle goddess. A slight but perceptible veer ing of the wind, combined with the in creasing power of the sun's rays, swept the ocean clear of its storm wraiths. Soon after passing the pillai rock Courtenay thought he could luakt nut the unwavering outline of moun tainous land auilil the gray mists. A few minutes later the waves racing alongside changed their leaden hue to a steely glitter which told hlra the tog was dispersing. The nearer blue of the ocean carpet spread an ever widen- j tug circle until it merged into vivid green. Then, with startling sudden ness, the curtain was drawn aside on a panorama at once magnificent and r. mazing. Almost without warning the ship was found to be entering the estuary j of a narrow fiord. Gaunt headlands carved on a titanic scale out of the solid i rock guarded the entrauce and already shut out the more distant coast line, ltchlml these first massive walls, ev erywhere unscalable and rising in sep arate promontories to altitudes of i>er haps 4iHI feet, an inner fortification of precipitous mountains tlung its gla cier clad peaks heavenward to Im mense heights-heights which In that region soared far above the snow Hue. But If the crests of peak upon peak were clothed In white their bases wore a pirment of different texture. Save on the -eaward terraces of stark rock, with their tide marked base of weed covered bowlders, the densest vegeta tion known to mankind imposed ev erywhere a first barrier to human prog ress far more unconquerable than the awesome regions beyoud. Pine for ests of extraordinary density cram-, uied each available yard of space uu- [ til the ttve growth yielded perforce to j hardier Alplue inosa and lichens. This ! lower l>elt of deepest green ranged from 500 to 1.000 feet in height, as' conditions were adverse or favorable, and waterfalls abounded. Courtenay, after an astounded glance at the magnitude and solemu grandeur of the spectacle, had eyes for nauglit save the conformation of tLie channel. The change in the w ind was caused, he found, by the northerly headland thrust ing Its giant mass a mile or more westward of Its twin, but he quickly dlscoverel from the the laud that the hitter was the protecting c?|* of the Inner waterway, lit- rcasom-d, therefore, that the deep w ater channel (lowed close to the uortll eru shore until It wan Hunt; off by the releutleM ruck a to seek (he easier In let beblm! the opposite point. He did uot know yet whether the ship was entering some unknown atralt or the mouth of a narrow landlocked bay. If the latter, the presence of the distant glaciers and the nearer tor rents warned hint of a possible bar on w hich the Kansas might be lost w Ithin j Right of safe anchorage. Not Inspired guesswork now, but the sk.il of the pilot, wan needed. This crossing the bar In broad daylight was as great a trial of nerve in Its way as the earlier onward rush in the dark. Wind and sea had abated so sensibly that the I'acitlc rollers raced on un broken. and It was no longer a suiter human task to make one's voice heard along the deck. So the captain aroused Walker with a sharp order: "<io and see if the donkey boiler has a good head of steam. We may have to drop the streilui anchor quick and both bower* as well. If Tollemactic Is doing his work properly, go forward and keeii a sharp lookout for broken water. Clear off the tarpaulins, and be ready to lower away the Instant I I slug out." Walker, w ho had been gazing s]>ell Isiund at (he majestic haven opening | up before the ship, hurried 011 his er ! rand. He found Tollemache seated on I an upturned bucket. In which the tacl- I | turn one had Just washed Ids face and 1 I hands. "Have you seen It?" demanded | Walker gleefully, while his practiced I eyes took in (lie state of the gauges as he overran a number of oil taps I with nimble lingers. "Seen what?" asked Tollemache without removing his pipe. "The land, my bonny lad. We-ah wunnln' wight In now." "We've been doing that for hours." "Yes, but this Is dlff'went. The'aw's a Hue wiv-ah ahead. Have ye ev-ah seen the Tyne? Well, just shove Sooth sheels au' Tynemouth a few hun dred feet high-ali an' you've got It Now, don't twy to talk or you might cwack yo' face." With this Parthian shaft of humor he vanished toward the forecastle, whence the ubiquitous donkey holier through one of its long arm? would shoot forth the stockless anchors at the touch of a lever. Toilemache, who had already glimpsed the coast, stroll ed out 011 deck and bent well over the side In order to look more directly ahead, lie could see one-half only of ? the view, but that sufficed. "A respite," he growled to himself? "penal servitude instead of sudden death." And Indeed this was the true aspect of things, as Courtenay discovered when he had successfully brought the ship past three ugly reefs and drop | ped anchor in the backwater of a small sheltered bay. He speedily abandoned the half formed hope that the Kansas 1 might have run Into an ocean water way yvhlch communicated with Smyth | channel. The rampart of snow clad hills had no break, while a hasty scru tiny of the chart showed him that the eastern coast of Hanover island had been thoroughly surveyed. Vet it was | not in human nature that lie should i not experience a rush of joy at the 1 thought that by his own efforts he had saved his ship and some at least of i the lives intrusted to his care. lie i | was alone when the music of the j chains In the hawse pipes sounded In his ears. The Kansas had plenty of room to swing, but he thought it best ( to moor her. Believing implicitly now j that he would yet bring his vessel in-1 to the Thames, he allowed her to be carried round by the fast flowing tide until her nose pointed seaward and she lay In the comparatively still wa ter inshore. Then he dropped the sec 3kd anchor aud stepped forth from the chart house. His long vigil was ended. Some of the cloud of care lift ed from his face, and he called cheeri ly to Joey. "Come along, pup," he said. "Let us sample I>r. Christobal's cookery. You have shared my watch; uow you shall my breakfast. We have both earned it." It was In his mind to knock loudly on Elsie's door and awaken her. I Therefore he was dimly conscious of a feeling of disappointment when he saw her in company with Christobal leaning over the rail of the promenade deck and evidently discussing the! weird beauty of the scene spread be- i fore her wondering eyes. They hoard | Courteuay's approachiug footsteps al-: most as soon as he gained the deck. Instantly she ran toward him, with hands outstretched. "Let me be the first to congratulate you!" she cried, her cheeks mantling1 with a rush of color and her lips quiv ering with excitement. "How wonder ful of >ou to bring the ship through all those awful reefs and things! No; you must not say you have done noth ing marvelous. Dr. Christobal has told me everything. Next to Provi dence, Captain Courtenay, we owe our lives to you." Courtenay felt it would hurt her were he to smile at her earnestness. Hut he did say: "Surely it is not so very remarkable that I should do my best to safeguard the ship and such of her passengers and crew as survive last night's or deal." "1 shall never understand how I came to fall asleep." said Elsie. "I remember feeling very tired. 1 sat down for a moment, and that ended it The next thing I heard was a rapping on my door and I?r. Christobal's voice bidding me hurry if I would see the entrance to the harbor." The two ineu exchanged glances. Courtenay nughcd so pleasautly that It was good to hear. "Vet there wan 1 up aloft. inaiifMl I verlug the ship In the tirin fultti tfcut I Or. Chrlfctobal was busy In the cook's ? galley." said he. "Aa. we have news for you!" cried Elsie. "One of the poor fellows u ho j was knocked on the head during that terrible tight for the boats was the ' waster cook himself. He Is better now, and breakfast can be ready In five minutes. I'll go aud tell him " | She ran off. and Joey 8caui|)ered by | her side, for he knew quite well where l the kitchen lay. "Bromide is useful at times," mur mured ChrlMobai, watching Elsie un til she had <llsa|>[>cared. Then he turn ed to Courteuay. "I suppose you have seen nothing of the boats?" "So sign w hatever. And 1 could hardly bine missed them If they were here. They may have escaped, but 1 doubt It. The sea ran very high for a time, and the Kansas scraped past so many reefs that it was almost Im possible for each of the three boats to have done the same." "Even if one or more of them reach ed land there is small likelihood that they would turn up in this particular bay*'" "That Is true, especially if they used their sails The Chileans who got away in the lifeboats would know suf tlcient of the coast to make a northerly course, while my parting instructions to .Malcolm were to keep to the north all the time." "1 wish now that poor Isobel Baring aud the others had not left us." said Christobal sadly. Courtenay was about to say some thing, but checked himself, lie was not blind to the aspect of affairs which Tollemache had summarized so pithily. It might yet be that those who remain ed had more to endure. Then Elsie summoned them to breakfast, which was served on deck, us the salon had been temporarily converted Into a hos pital. weiore sming aown courtenay paid a brief visit to Mr. Boyle. Christobal told him not to allow the pounded man to talk too much, complete rest for a few hours being essential. But Boyle's pallid face lit up so brightly when the captain stood by bis side that it was hard not to Indulge him to some extent. "Huh," be si.id, his gruff voice strong as ever, "Christobal was not humbug gin' me when he assured me you were all right. Where are we?" "In a small bay on the east of Hano ver island. I have not taken any ob servations yet, and there is no hurry, old chap. You'll be out and about long before we move again." Boyle smiled and closed his eyes. "I heard the anchors go, and then I knew that all was well. You're the luckiest skipper afloat. Iluh. the bloomin' Kansas was lost not once, but twenty times." "Are you in pain, Boyle?" asked Courtenay, plnc'ng a gentle hand on his friend's forehead. "Not much. More stiff than sore. It was a knockout blow of its kind. 1 can just recall you haulin' me out of the scrimmage and' "It will be your turn to do as much for me next time. Try to go to sleep We'll have jou on deck tomorrow." Courtenay noticed that there were only four other sufferers in the sa lon. Three were firemen injured by the explosion. II > had a pleasant word lor each o. liicm. The fourth was a sal)or, either asleep or uucjn scions, and Courtenay thought he rec ognized a severe bruise on the man's left temple where the butt of his re volver had struck hard When he r'turned on deck h?> learn i-ii that two other members of the crew, in addition to the cook, were able to work. Walker had set one to clear up the stokehold. His compan ion, a fireman, had relieved Mr. Tolie mache. Indeed, the latter had gone to his cabin and was the last to arrive at the feast, finally putting in an ap pea'auce In a new suit and spotless linen. Christobal protested loudly. "I thought this was to be a workers' meal," he said. "Tollemache has stol en a march on us. He is quite a Bond street lounger in appearance." "Dirty job stoking," said Tollemache. "I seem to have been the only lazy person on board during the night!" cried lilsie. "Do you know what time it is?" ask ed Courtenay. "Xo; about 10 o'clock, I fancy." "It is not yet half past 4." The blue eyes opened Wde. "Are you In earnest?" she demanded. lie showed her his watch. Scarce four hours had elapsed since she had waited In the captain's cabin, amid the drenching spray and tearing wind, while he took Isobel and Mrs. Sonier ville and the shriekiug maid to the boat. The corners of her mouth droop ed. and tears trembled on her eye lashes. She sought furtively for a handkerchief. Knowing exactly what troubled her, Courtenay turned to Christobal. "This island ought to be Inhabited." he said. "Can you tell me what sort of Indians one finds In this locality?" Christobal frowned perplexedly. "1 fear I do not know much about them," lie said. "Behind those hills there one sees a few canoe Indians. 1 have heard that they are somewhat lower In the social scale than the aborigines of Australia." "Are they?" said Courtenay. He looked Christobal straight In the eyes, and the doctor returned his gaze as steadily. "That Is their repute. They live mostly on shellfish. They do not con gregate In communities. A few fami lies keep together and move constant ly from place to place." "They are cailed the Alaculof. They use bows and arrows with heads cb<p WO.IAN SNATCHED FROM THE JAWS O:-' DEATH. i .
