So Suarcz spoiled a pretty bit of n>
inauee by his ruffling agitation over
some bawl of savage frenzy, for Cour
tenay of course would have laughed
away the girl'a protests that she was
usurping another woman's place.
If the confident demeanor of the pad
dling warriors in the canoed were des
tined to lie Justified, the Kansas was
in a parlous state. Iler vast biuk and
sheer walls of steel did not daunt
them. They came on steadily against
the rapid current and spread out Into
n crescent when within a few hundred
yards of the ship. Then three men,
crouching in the bows of different ca
noes, produced rifles hitherto Invisible
and bei;an to shoot. The bullets rlco
< betted across the ripples, and (.'our
tenay taw that the savages <11.1 not un
derstand the sighting appliances. They
were aiming point blank at the ves
s?el in so far as tlie.v could lit' said to
aim at anything, and the low trajee
tory caused tin- flint straight sliot to
rebound from the surface of the water
and strike a plate amidships. The loud
clung of the metal was lulled Ity the
Alaculofs with shoilts of delight.
The long range firing was kept up
for several minutes, much to I'ourtc
nay's relief, as Suarcz was certain
that the Indians' stock of cartridges
did not amount to more than 400 at
the utmost, 'l'he canoes crept gradual
l.v nearer, anil bullets began to strike
the ship frequently. One glanced off
a davit and shuttered a couple of win
dows In the chart house. This lncl
<lent aroused even greater enthusiasm
than the lirst blow of the attack.
There was renewed activity among
the paddle winders. Two canoes were
not fifty yards from the most souther
ly floating mine. Courtenay <#>in
ineneed fo haul In the flack of one
among the half dozen thin cords. He
turned to tell Snare/, to be ready for
the duty which had been intrusted fo
him when Ills glance happened to trav
el toward the mouth of the bay.
Then he learned (he significance of
that column of smoke on the northern
point. A fleet of at least forty earn mm
was advancing on the ship from flic
sen. Tide and paddles were swinging
the small craft along at a spanking
pace. They were already much near
er the vessel than the first batch of
Indians, who hail very cleverly con
trived to enlist the attention of the de
fenders while the real attack was de
veloping without let or hindrance, it
was a smart ruse worthy of a race of
higher attainments ,'i.ui the trlls'
which Is ranked lov In the human
scale. The newcomers abstained from
tiring or stone slinging. They were
gathering with the speed and silence
of vultures.
Two mines protected the front of the
Kansas, uml several canoes had passed
them. Indeed, Conrtena.v soon found
that some of the assailants were al
ready screened by the ship's bows, but
the larger number were clustered
thickly round Tollemnche'a Infernal
innchines. It was well that a cool
headed sailor was called on to deal
with this emergency. The captain of
the Kansas even smiled as he appre
ciated the full meaning of flie trick
which his adversaries had tried to play
on him, and the man who smiles in the
face of danger Is one to be depended
ou.
The six cords were numbered. ITe
dropped No. 1_\ which he was holding,
and seized Nos. 1 and 5. He drew
them In, hand over hand, as rapidly as
possible, but wag careful not to sacrifice
a smooth tension to undue hurry, in a
few seconds two deafening rejtorts
spilt the air, the glass front of the
chart house shook, pieces of the broken
panes rattled on the floor, several
scraps of iron, bolts, nuts and heavy
nails fell off the decks and hatches,
und a tremendous hubbub of yells
came from the maiu body of Indians.
A couple of heavily charged dynamite
bombs had burst in their midst, deal
ing death and destruction over a wide
area. Several canoes near the float
ing platforms were torn asunder and
sank, while men wen- killed or wound
ed out of all proportion to the nutulwr
of craft disabled.
Courtenay at once picked up the gov
erning cord of the mine which he was
about to fire In the first instance, lie
felt that the Alaculof flotilla would act
In future on the "once bitten twice
shy" principle where those Innocent
looking little poles showed above sea
level, and he must strike fierce blows
while the opportunity served. The
nine canoea on the south were not clus
tered around the bomb In the same
tnanner as the others, but they wen
near enough to sustain he ,-y loss, and
their frlg'itened crew* h..l ceased to

fore part of the vessel. Ills shotgun
was lying on the table. lie took It up
and faced forward again. Several
canoes were scurrying past and away
from the ship as fast as the current
and many arms could propel them. '

Courtenay wheeled round on Snare/.. I
"Now!" he cried, pointing to a speak

put the megaphone to his mouth and
roared after the discomfited enemy ?'
threat of worse things In store If they ]
dared to come near the ship again. A*
be used the Alaculof language, the
sounds he uttered were the most ex-1
traordinary that Courtenay hail ever
heard from a human throat a coin- ]
pound of hoarse, guttural vowels and!
consonants ending in a seiies of click*
?and the stentorian power of his lungs
must have amazed the Indians.
Courtenay saw that the two fleets'
were comblnhi : forces about Tsui yards,

Kansas was still trumpeting forth her
loud lilare of dctlance he ran down the

tiny garrison of the port promenade

lie raced across to starboard and
fouud that by unfortunate mischance
a Chilean tlreman In Tollemache's de
tachment had been shot through the
brain. The poor fellow was prone ou
the deck It was only too evident that
a doctor's skill could avail him naught,
so Tollemache hail decided that ho
should not be taken below. The Inci
dent marred an easily won victory.
Courtenay was assured In his own
mind that none of the men had been
injured, seeing that he and Suarez, who
occupied the most dangerous position,
were untouched. This fatality was a
mere blunder of fate, and It grieved
him sorely.
Even while he bent reverently over
the unlucky Chilean's body the deafen
ing vibration of the fog horn ceased
and he heard Elsie's glad cry from the
salon:
"Oh. my, here comes Joey! That
means that Captain Courtenay has left
the bridge."
The girl's Joyous exclamation, her
prelude to a paean of thanks that the
dreadful necessary slaying of men had
ceased, was a strange commentary on
the shattered form stretched at tho
commander's feet. Among the small
company on board it had been decreed
that one at least, after surviving so
lnuuy [icrils, should never see home
and kin again.
lie gave orders that the dead man
should be carried to the poop to await
a sailor's burial. Then he turned and.
with less sprightly step, descended
the main companion. In the salon he
found Elsie and Christobal watching
the stairs expectantly. The girl had
the dog in her arms, and Courtenay
perceived for the first time that Joey's
off fore paw had been cut by the broken
glass which littered the floor of the
chart house.
"Thon the attack has rea'.ly failed'/"
was Klste's greeting. "I saw some of
the cauoes turn and scurry away. That
was the first good sign, and then Joey
came."
"You saw them?" repeated Courte
nay, his bent brows emphasizing the
question.
"Yes. I was looking through one of
the ports. Was that wrong?"
"Which one?"
She pointed. "That one." said she,
wondering that he had never a smile
for her.
"Then you must ol>ey orders more
faithfully next time. A man was shot
dead by a stray bullet not three feet
above your head."
She paled, and her eyes fell before
his stern gaze, which did not deceive
her at all, for she read the unspoken
agony of his thought.
"1 am sorry," she murmured, "not
so much on my own account, though I
shall 1* more careful In future, but
lieeause some one has suffered. Wbo
Is It?not one of onr own people, 1
hope?"
"A fireman. 1 think his name Is
Gama. You have hardly seen him, 1
fancy, but I regret his loss exceeding
ly. It must have been the merest ac
cident."
The captalu of the Kansas was cer
tainly preoccupied or he would never
have failed to Inquire the extent of
Joey's Injury. Nor would either he or
Elsie have forgotten that Chrlstobal
was not "one of our own people,"
though the girl might protest hotly
against any Invidious twisting of the
phrase.
The Spaniard missed uothlng of Cour
tenay'g solicitude for Elsie's well be
ing nor of her shy confusion. Chrls
tobal was under no sort of doubt that
unless another "accident" Intervened
he hail lost all chauce of wiuulng this

CHAPTER XIV.
ON his way hack to the deck the
captain encountered Suarez.
The Spaniard led the Englls*
man toward one of the |>eep- j
holes In the canvas screen. Sure
enough, the canoes were making off
toward Otter creek, lu the niarvei
ously clear light It was easy to see
the threatening arms held out toward
the ship by a few men who stood up
right. Kveu their raucous cries were
yet audible. Courtenay was glad he
had not missed this demonstration of
hatred. It argued the necessity of con
tinued watchfulness.
The general attitude of the crew w as
one of real annoyance that the fight
had not been carried on ut close quar-1
ters. The Kansas bore tokens In plen
ty of the battle. Many bullets and ar
rows had struck the ship, the canvas
was torn In several places, a number
of port lights were broken, and tho
open decks, fore uud aft as well as
the spar deck, were Uttered with
stones. He picked up some of these
missiles, man's earliest and latest pro
Jectlle. They were round and heavy.
A few liore the red streaks of oxidized
Iron; some appeared to be veritable
lumps of ore. though the action of wa
ter had made them "smooth stone out
of the brook." He showed one to Tolle
mache, who seemed to possess a good
deol of out of the way knowledge, and
the latter instantly pronounced the

specimen to lie "almost pure coppet
veined with silver.
The captalr taw to the reverent bur
lal of poor I'letro Gauia, entered full
details of the tight lu the ship's log j
and helped Walker to search the sus
pected coal for a further supply ot
dynamite, as the utility of the surface
mines had l>eeu demonstrated beyond
a doubt, lie thought it possible, given
the necessary time, to rig a devle?
which would be practically invisible.
A fresh set of dummy poles, which
the Indians would probably avoid in
the event of a second attack, might
deflect the canoes into the area of new
mines laid at sea level.
Their utmost diligence brought to
light no further supply of the explo
sive. Evidently the prepared lumps
of coal, each containing a stick of dy
namite, which were placed in the
bunker at Valparaiso had t>eon convey
ed on board by one man, so It was
i more than likely there was not auoth
I er ounce of the stuff on the ship except
the three specimens first discovered. |
These, water soaked and useless, were
locked In a drawer in the chart house.
While scrutinizing the bunker Courte
i jiay found a grimy piece of paper,
| crushed into a ball and amalgamated
i with coal dust by means of the glue or
J other substunce which had been used
for making the bombs intended for the
I destruction of the furnaces. lie ex
| amined it carefully, believing it had
; the appearance and texture of car
i tridge paper. He placed It in his pocket
| and, while changing his clothes before
joining the others at supper, came on
j It again with a certain surprise. He
' plunged it into a basin of hot water,
and It yielded its secret It was the
outer wrapper of a stick of dynamite.
It bore the circular stamp of the manu
facturers, the Socledad Anonyma de
las Coetms del Paclflco. This in Itself
meant nothing. The same company
probably supplied hundreds of mines
with the five pound boxes In which
dynamite Is packed, and if the stamp
were the only clew none could pos^Iy
i say when or where It had been Issued
for use.
But miners are apt to be careless.
I Men accustomed to dynamite will han
dle It with an astouudlng disregard for
danger, and here was a case In point.
ISoine Spanish overseer, evidently at r,
loss for a memorandum tablet, had
scribbled hieroglyphics with an Indeli
ble pencil ou this particular wrapper.
It was clear that the figures and ab
breviated words referred to the de
velopment of a cross heading and the
I position of certain lodes, but Courte

nout'ern hemisphere, vivid and bright,
though less familiar than those of the
north, were reflected in the hlO"'.; li
ter. The ship was so still, the ?cr
ruuudings so peaceful, save for the
plash of tin; waves created by the
breeze, that he was almost startled
when a soft Vulce came from the low
er deck:
"Where In the world bare you beeu.
Captain Courleiiuy 1 Joey Is fretting
Tor you. and I have carried lilm all
over the ship In vain search."
Ilia heart Juui|ied with gladness. El
nie was a walling him at the loot of the
companion, lie sure lie wad by her
side without needless delay. The dog
wriggled in her arms, so she said:
"1 don't think be ought to run abou.
llis dear iiiile paw is rather badly cut

on the deck."
"I hope not, for our Chileans' sake,"
laughed Courtenuy. "I heart] Mr. Ho. le

were hard at work when I went to my
cabin."
"Oh, is that where you hid yourself?
No wonder I could not tind you. O.
course Joey knew where you were
Homt stupid of me!"
"I'lease don't call yourself names.
Elsie. Vou dou't deserve them. And,
by the way, may 1 address you by >our
Christian name? It slipped out today
unawares. Not that 1 feel like apolo
gl/.lug, because 1 dou't. There are
times when the heart speaks, not the
guarded tongue."
Luckily tl% darkness covered the hot
blush which leaped to her cheeks. She
gave a nervous little laugh and strove
desjierately to parry this wholly un
expected assault.
"I shall be delighted if you always
call me Elsie. It sounds friendly, aud
I think our circumstances warrant a
true friendship."
"Excellent! I suppose you know tha',
my name is Arthur?"
"Yes, but I had no notion of that
sort of exchange. You are the captain,
aud a very serious sort of captaiu at
times. I feel like a little girl when
you look at me and tell me uot to be
naughty, so 'Elsie' sounds all right,
but 1 simply dare not call you 'Arthur.'
Just imagine what a sensation it
would create lu the salon! I should
feel creepy all over. And hadu't we
better be"?
"Elsie," said he, with a tender note
In his voice which thrilled her like a
chord of exquisite music, "I want to
tell you something. The knowledge is
forced on me that there is another man
on (his ship who wishes to make you
Ills wife, but I, too, love you. and I sec
iso reason why I should stand aside foi
any man on God's earth until you'tell
me with your own lips that you prefer
him to me."
"Oh!" gasped Elsie and "Oh!" again,
but not another word could she utter,
she who had been so voluble a moment
ago. The bittersweet pain of bearing
this sudden avowal was almost over
powering. Her ideals of honor and
truth were shocked, but she was a wo
man as well as an idealist, and she was
stirred to the depths of her soul by the
knowledge that she had won the man
whose love she craved.
"I want you to listen to me. Elsie."
he said, with a passionate inteusity
that stilled the rising storm in her bos
om. "Dr. Christobal may have plead
ed his own cause already. It is not
for me to cavil at him for doing that,
but I cannot lose you without a word.
Whether you marry him or me or nei
ther of us. I shall love you forever. 1
want you to know that. It is no new
discovery to tne. I think my heart
went out to you when I carried you in
my arms through the gale, and since
that hour you and 1 have bad experi
ences denied to most men and women
ere tliey reach the conclusion that they
are fit mates for the voyage of life. Do
you feel that, sweetheart? Have we
known each other ten days or ten
years?"
His face was very near to hers now.
Ills nrm was around her neck. It was
quite dark where they stood in the
shadow of the bridge. He could not
see the tears In her eyes, but he heard
her broken answer:
"Are you?quite?fair?In using such
words to me?"
"Fair, Elsie! Fair to whom?"
"Because- oh, how can I tell you?
Are you free to?to speak to me In this
way 1"
"Elsie, I am pledged to no other wo
man, if that is what you mean. Who
lias been telling you otherwise?"
"Noone. Indeed?Indeed, I alone am
lo blame. Vou will be angry with me.
l>it I could not help It"
She could say no more If she had
uttered another syllable Just then she
would have broken down completely
Courtenay placed Ills hand under her
j chin and lifted her unresisting lips to
his. He kissed her twice and laughed
softly, with a glad confidence that sent
a wave of delight coursing through El
1 sle's veins.
"Sweetheart." he whispered. "I am
sure you would not have allowed me to
speak so plainly if you were going to
send me away. Now. I don't want you
to bind yourself irrevocably tonight
That would certainly not be fair. I
don't know why 1 e ?> to lie angry or
what It mm you couldn't h p. ami I 1
don't care a red cent. All I want to
know Ik tills?if the Kansas brings n*
both back to tbe outer world once
more, bare I as good a chauce of win
ning your love as any otber mau?"
"But I must tell you. I could not
look you In tbe face If you did uot bear
It. When I was left alone In your
cabin tbe second time and tbe sea
came In, a packet of letters fell out of
some clothes which I picked up from |
the floor. There was oue from your
sister. I hardly knew what I was do '
Ing. but I saw her name, 'Madge,' and ?
I rea/1 a few words on tl?e half page
abore her signature."
Ills left arm was now so well esyib '
llshed that Ills hand touched her cheek. !
and he found It wet with tears. I
"What wild conceit has crept Into
your pretty little head?" he cried In
, amaze, unconsciously raising his voice
; somewhat. "A letter from my sister!
; She is the most straightforward wo- ,
! man breathing. I assure you. Never a
| line has she written to me which could
! bear any construction such as seems
| to trouble you. Why, on the contrary.
Madge has often chaffed me for being
so like herself In giving no thought to
matrimony."
"It is horrid of me to persist, but I '
| owe it to you to tell you what I saw
She alluded to your 'affianced wife'
ami said that "under no other circum
stances.' whatever they were, would
1 she receive uer."
Then Cou:!enay laughed again, and
Klsie found it was absolutely essentia!
' if Joey we.'o not to be crushed that
i her head should bend a little forward.
' with the obvious result that it rested
on Courtenay's shoulder
i "I must show you the whole of that
! letter," he cried, "and the others which
I are tied up in the same bundle. You
will see me blush, I admit, but it will
not be from a sense of perfldy. But
there is one thing you have forgotter
Elsie." And his voice dropped to a
tense whisper again. "In telling me
your secret, which is no secret, yo.
have given nie my answer. Your heart
must have crept out a little way to
meet mine, dear, or tn.v sister's words
would not have perplexed you. So
that is wuy you have avoided me dur
ing the past few days! But there!
Now, Indeed, I am not acting quite
fairly. It is unfair to ask you to con
fess when I want you to wait nntil we
win clear of our present difficulties be
fore you decide whether or not yo:i can
find it to your liking to make a poor
sailor man happy."
Joey was a highly accommodating
dog under certain conditions. He had
curled up so complacently that Elsie
fouud she could hold him quite easily
with one arm. So the other went out
In the darkness until it rested timidly
?n her lover's disengaged shoulder.
"It Is easy to confess that which
is already known," she murmured.
"Whether we are fated to live one day
or fifty years, it will be all the same to
me, dear."
She lifted her face again to his and
would have returned the kisses he
gave her were it not that they lost
their one sided character this time.
There was a chance that Joey might
have been partly suffocated, though to
all appearance he meant to die a will
ing martyr, had not Suarez leaned
over the upper rail and asked in his
grating accent if he heard the senoi
captain's voice below.
