.Ibe James had began to gather
headway; bnt as the whed was re
leased from the dead helmsman’s grip
her head fdl off, and she dropped
sluggishly into the trongfa of the seas
whlA surged over the shattered
waist, and one green hill of water
bnrst sqoarely on the poop, hurting
ns to the deck. Peter recovered his
footing before either Mnrray or I,
shoved the Easterling's body aside and
gripped the wheel in his own hands.
Slowly, the buoyancy all out of bet,
the Royal James swung around In re-
imonse to the rudder’s thrttt and lum
bered off before the wind.
The headland Moira had sighted
faded into the mist; but my great-
uncle shook his bead sadly.
*‘We are making wat«-,’’ be shouted
to me; "and the island is to leeward.
We can scarce weather it, and If we
do—"
A faint hall readied us from the
fo’csle.
"Land—"
And a rent In the storm-clouds
showed a second and lower headland
fair over our larboard bow.
Pecer started to put the helm down
to enable us to bear off as much as
possible and have whatevec chance
there was of clearing it; but Murray
caught his arm.  ’
“No, no, Peter!’’ Cried my great-
unde. "Head up! Head up! Tis
the North inlet 1 If we can pass in
to sta’b’d of that i^it we are safe."
“Ja," aqueaked Peter, and hla Iron
musdes forced the rudder over until
it neutralized the drive of the wind
and sea; and foot by foot the Royal
James made her southing; passed the
east spit with half a cable’s length to
apare and opened a narrow, bottle
shaped roadstead, with tree-clad
shores that offered protection from
any storm that blew.
The rain was still pelting down.
The surf was foaming on the outer
beaches; the wind whistled shrilly In
the rigging. Bnt to «s that prospect
was the fairest ever seen. Moira wnnif
to hff knees in prayer beside the ^d
pirate. My great-unde stuped to the
nil and bade the survivors of the
4xew get sofflcient sail on the ship
■to give ns .steeragewny. And I—I
«rted to shake Peter. He blinked at
fne solemnly.
"I t’ink Oott spoke ont londt to der

Iced like a sieve where the mlzzen-
st had thumped her side, and her
pper works were in splinters. In
[the fight with the Walrus and the
storm we had lost eight-odd men, but
more serious than this were the deaths
the two mates. Martin’s body was

lippose that he had been swept over-
The crew were apathetic and sullen,
tadlned to be mutinous and resentful
. of my great-uncle’s authority. For
'ythe_ first time they had reason to ques-
bis omnipotence, and It required
I display of biz ruthless temper
nee them to subjection—an ac-
ment to which he was aided
iderably by Ckiupeau, and I am
to admit, by Peter and me, who
not affoi^ to risk the brutal li-

"Get to work. Before you rest I
expect the malndeck to be deared and
staging rigged overside for resheath-
Ing and calking."
He drove them until midnight, then
sent them reeling to^thelr hammocks.
In tbe morning a systematic plan
of occupation was arranged. By Cou-
peau’s advice a handful of tbe more
amenable of tbe crew—mostly negroes,
Portuguese, Italians and Frenchmen
of the south—were organized as an
afterguard, and the remainder were
divided into squads headed by men
selected for skill at some special
trade. One squad were to overhaul
the sails and cut and sew from spare
canvas a suit for the new mizzen,
which a second squad were to hew on
the slopes of Sypgiass mountain and
transport to the ship. A third squad
were to repair all exterior damage to
the bull; a fourth were to recalk the
started seams; a fifth were to attend
to whatever Internal repairs were
necessary.
Coupeau was placed in charge of
the work aboardshlp, and the rest of
us carried Colonel O’Donnell’s body
to the top of a small hill east of the
head of the Inlet. There, In the midst
of a grove of pines, we laid him to
rest. ’Twas a noble situation for a
wanderer whp had never reached his
goal, with the clashing boughs and
the distant thunder of the surf to
sound a requiem until the end of time
and a view over green meadows and
dwarf woodlands to the white rim of
the beach and the blue sea, shining
In the sun.
resterday seemed years past. 1
blinked my eyes, looking from the
peaceful garb of nature to Moira’s
slim body huddled In prayer beside
the mound of raw earth amongst the
pine needles. On the edge of the grove
the men who had dug the grave were
playing a gatubling game with the
pine-cones. Peter leaned on a musket,
gravely compassionate.^ My great-
uncle, his eyes puckered in thought,
was staring out to sea. As I watched,
he twitched my coat sleeve and drew
me to one side.
"I shall leave you to amuse your
self as you choose for the remainder
of the day," be said. “'Tis for you
and Peter to safeguard the maid. 1,
must ascertain. If possible, what bath
become of Flint.”
“And then?" I asked.
“Then?" His eyebrows arched in
surprise. “Why, then, Robert, we
shall continue as we have done hith
erto."
“You must pursue this Insane
scheme?”
He was as patient with me as If
were a fractious child.
“ 'Tis no ’Insane scheme,’ but a
coup of high politics of fascinating
Import, my boy. I own to dlssap-
polntment it doth not appeal to you
more readily. What? Shall we cry
quits, simply because of shipwreck?
And after every move hath turped as
we plotted It should!"
I shook my head hopelessly, but de
cided to try again.
"Bethink you,” I argued, “the long
boat can speedily be made weather
tight. In her we might reach—”
“Put it from your mind,” he inter
rupted with a hint of iron In his voice.
“You little know me, Robert, If yon
reckon me one to turn back from what
I have begun—In especial, this mat
ter which consummates the ambition
of my life."
“But we—’’
This time the iron was uppermost.
“Boy, you are essential to my
plans. Much as I love yon, I— But
we'll not talk on that plane. I am
none for threats. Let it sufilce that
you are not to mention the subject
again."
He wheeled around and left me,
and with his escort of tarry-breeks
strung out behind him was soon bur
ied In the undergrowth on the lower
flanks of the hill.
Tbe sun was past meridian when
Peter and I induced Moira to aban
don tbe unmarked mound, and to di
vert her mind we led her on a tramp
to the shoulders of the Spyglass,
where a score of the James' men al
ready bad felled a giant fir and were
lopping the branches from the trunk
preparatory to removing tjie bark. In
^he forest near by we killed a mess
of birds, and Peter skillfully broiled
them over an open fire, and after that,
since she professed to enjoy the si
lence of the mountain side, we pressed
on, beyond bearing of tbe ringing ax-
blades, and finally came to the foot
of the steep pinnacle of rock which
was the lens of the Spyglass.
Here we would have halted, but
Moira had heard the story of the
watch the pirates maintained from
the summit, and she insisted 4on com
pleting tbe ascent, despite the late
ness of the hour. And we, because
we were for doing anything that would
please her tha1: day and relieve her
grief, consented.
It was more difficult than it looked,
and tbe sun was low In tbe west when
we reached the platform at the top,
stained and blackened by the beacon
Area tbat bad* burned there. But the
view was glorious.’ The Island was
spread out beneath us like a map on
a table, from the Foremast hill on
our left all the way soutlivrki^ «tong
the rocky spine of the weet coast to
Mizzenmast bill and a ca{iie to - the
west of that wbldi old. Mifittn bad
called HauIbowUne head. ^BiMward
the irregular shore' rim hoildk and
south to the Indentation of Captain
Kidd’s anchorage, the ^ tree -growth
matted and thick except- fw Several
savannas midway of the idimd and
the-silvery loops of two or tttee amnll
rivers.
We identified the inaata- '4^- the
James, rising above the headsmters
of the North Inlet, and the dpralng
in the trees north and east of . Cap
tain Kidd's anchorage that Wak the
site of the fort Flint had baUt. And
then Moira cried out:
“Oh, blessed saints, will that be a
ship? Do bnt see, Btriti! Ppter!”
She pointed eastward; and .there,
sure enough, was a ship,.or rathi^, the
tops’ls of a ship barely Hftipg over
the horizon’s rim. If It had apt been
for the fact that tbe sun’a -rain were
striking level across the"oom'^'fioor,
and so were reflected from tte sheen
of the canvas, we should, never have
seen it, not even with a glask ...
“Aye, 'tis a ship,” I said.
“Ja," nodded Peter. “It II Flint."
Moira shivered.
“Troth, and who would It be else?”
she demanded. “There'll be ho friends
of us come a-calling, I’m thlnlriug.^
“It might be a king’s ship—" I be
gan. r-- .
“No, then,” she denied, "if. i this
Island Is gone all these years~wlthout
the king’s ships finding track of '^ti,
'tis not like they will come upon It
sudden In this moment. ‘
“ Tis a ship Indeed,” I ai^ie«^.Un-
willingly. “Aye, a full-rlgged'
“Ja, a ship like Flint’s," sald'P^er.
We were silent for aa instant, .the
three of us, dazed by tbe'^soddaiiness
with which our whole outlpojt! oh-the
future bad been changed byi'tids piq-
expected loom of tops’ls leaguM'^iVay;
“He must, have weathe^ the
storm," I said ioolisbiy.
“And now the red fighting will be^p
all over again," cried Moirn^'-
soul, will there not have beejA/' doat^-
enough for this treasure? Bvell^ j^teoit
of it must be speckled with men's
blood.”
“We better tell Murray,” said Baler,
moving toward the Up of thq rock plat
form. V. - '
“But how could Flint be back so
soon?” I protested. “ ’Tis Impossible,
Peter. He could not-^”.
“He could, ja,” returned the Dutch
man Inperturbably. “Der storm was
by In two^ glasses—andt der ship is
yet maybe ten leagues off, ne^?”
We descended the Spyglass In si
lence. Twilight overtook us In the
forest at Its base, and we were obliged
to retrace our course with extreme
caution, so that eight bells rang from
the Royal James^so exact wqs the
restored discipline on that sttfanded
hulk—as we stepped from the trees
on to the shore of the North Inlet and
hailed for a boat.
My great-uncle met us at the gang
way, Immaculate in plum satin coat
and blue plush breeches, white silk
stockings and black pumps, silver-
buckled, his hair neatly tied with a
black silk ribbon.
“Well, well,” he greeted us, "you
have made a long day of It. I trust
you are not overtired, sweet?”
This to Moira.
“I have delayed sitting to dinner in
hopes that yon would be here. You
can see—’’ he waved an all-inclusive
hand—“that we have not been Idle
aboard the James. We begin to look
like a ship again, eh? Did you by
chance see the new mizzen?"
“You better come to .cabin,”
said Peter abruptly. - *
“I beg your pardon?" answer^ Mur
ray.
“We hgve gometbing to tell you,"
I said- “It cannot walt."'r . ■
His eyes plumbed mine, and I think
he kpew in that instant what our news
waA He clicked open his snuff-box
and dusted a pinch delicately into bis
nostrils.
“So 7’ he murmured. “Sets the wind
In that quarter!"
_And he offered Moira his arm with
the fine, stateJy dlumlty he achieved
to perfection, and the way aft to
the main cabin.
“You may place the viands upon
the table, Gunn,” he said to the stew
ard when we were seated. “We. i^ill
serve ourselves."
He turned to Moira.
“I recommend this fish. ’Tis fredi-
caught, and Sclplo—" the remaining
blackamoor—“is a master at such
dishes; he hath stuffed it, you see,
with; greens, he procured from the
woods."
“We have scant time to eat, let
alone'-to admire our food," I Inter
posed roughly. “From the peak of
the Spyglass at sunset we sighted the
tops’ls of a ship In the east.”
“i presume that you believe her to
be the Walrus?” he returned.
“Ja,” said Peter. “It Is Pilpt," -
“My faith, and who else would It
be7’ asked Moira.
“Doubtless you are right," he as-
s^ted. "Indeed, I do not question It.
Our examination of the northern and
eastern beaches today failed to dis
close a trace of evidence to Indicate
what had become of the Walrus, ap'd
had she sunk some wreckage must
have washed ashore. ^ Yes,- yes, my
friends,'our Ill-luck Is'stlU with us.
Flint rode out the storm. But that,
Robert, is no reason why we should
not secui-e tbe maximum of qatlsfae-
tion from this ,tasty meal—rhll . the
more partfculariy so when we con
sider 'tis like to be tbe last for some
days we shall eat in such comfortable
surroundings."
“You take it coolly!" I exclaimed-
“And why not? Tis a disaster, I
grant you, yet Irritation will not aid
me-^-redfew It/’ ■ ’»■- -
“Yon don’t stay here, neen?" said
Peter. '
“Quite right, friend Peter. The
Royal James in her present plight
would be a death-trap. I shall aban
don her tonight and shift to the fort
Flint was so obliging as to construct
for us by the anchorage."
“And toe treasure?" I asked.
He held up his wineglass to tbe
light and studied It reflectively.
“Obviously, we must be where the
treasure is," he returned at length.
“Or, If you please, put It the other
way round; The treasure must be
where we are. I foresee a busy night
for our people.”
Moira thrust out appealing hands
toward him.
“Oh, sir, why won’t ye Just be after
calling out to this ship when she
comes and bid them take what they
will and go? Sure, that would be
better than—”
“Tut, tut,” he rebuked her. "A
part of this treasure Is- to supplement
the eight hundred thousand pounds
Intended for your father’s friends—
and they, my lass, are King James’
friends. You are a good Jacobite, I
trust, and would not see our Caused'
deprived of a single doubloon that
might buy muskets in Lyons or sword-
blades in Breda?"
“Ah, 'tis little enough I feel for
KInV James or any of them toat will
have sent the padre to his doom!"
Idea of Submarine Warfare Is Ancient
Experimentally, of course, toe Idea
of the submarine goes back Into a
very remote past. Aristotle speaks of
some kind of submar&e vessel used
In toe siege of Tyre more than 2,000
years ago, and there are occasional
mentions of the Idea through history.
In toe Sixteenth century one cornea to
tbe bishop of Upsala’s claim to have
Invented a boat for scuttling ships
from below, and in 1626 Charles I
gave a Dutch inventor an order for
“boats to" go under water,” though
they do not seem to have been used
against the French. There were the
rudimentary and unsuccessful “tur
tles” of Bnsbnell In the Eighteenth
century. But an 111 fate pursued the
early inventors. Fulton’s submarine
was rejected by France, England and
America -in tum^ ond he set himself
to the more usual work ot designing
boat engines. Johnson’s submersible

Gemua Poorly Rewarded
The discovery of the correct posi
tion and physiological function of toe
heart, when announced by .^dreas
Vesallua, toe Belgian master of an
atomy, was received on the one hand
with cold skepticism, and on the oth
er with hot opposition. * Slowly,
grudgingly, the worth of it was rec-
bgnlzed. Reward, in proper measure,
was not given. But It provided the
stepping-stone enabling William Har
vey to discover the circulation of the
blood. '
Vesalius was a native of Antwerp,
his period being 1514-1564. At four
teen be waa a student of medicine In
Louvain; at twenty be was in Venice,
and the year following became public
demonstrator at Padua. In Bologna
he gained a professorship and In Pisa
a similar chair. At twenty-eight his

“Poor lass! Poor lass!” sighed my
great-uncle. *Tt hath been a trying
day- for her. We must be lenient."
“You should be down on your knees,
besieecblng her,, forgiveness, you who
wantonly, fragged her Into this dan
ger!" 1 snarled at him.
" ‘Wanton^,’ Robert?" he objected
mildly. “Certei^ you should know bet
ter by now. .My reasons were of toe
best, my motives of toe highest”
He -rang the silver bell in front of
him, and when Gunn appeared said—
“Send Cloupeau to me.”
Then he turned to me again—
“You, of all persons, Robert, have
least cause to censure me for Mis
tress O’DonnelTs presence.”
' “I have most 1” I retorted hotly. “I
am so unfortunate as to be related to
you, and therefore must be in some
measure a sharer of the obloquy at
tached to your deeds."
He wagged his head sadly.
“Words I What rash, unreasoning
words will not youth sponsor In Its
blind prejudices! Peter, I appeal to
you: Doth not my grandnephew. He
In hiy debt for my conduct In arrang
ing for him tbe opportunity to squire
our little Irish maid?”
Peter drained a glass^of brandy.
“You better not say any more, Mur
ray,” be grunted, “Neen! Maybe
you say too much.”
“I had supposed mysrif the model
of diplomacy,” protested my great-
uncle. • .
Peter’s little eyes twinkled behind
their protective rolls of fat *
“Ja. yqu pretty smart, Murray.
But der smart feller, he has to look
oiiidt or he gets too smart. Ja 1 Andt
when he gets too smart he Is in
trouble.”
Coupeau’s hideous mask of a face
toowed In toe companjonway entrance.
“Oui, m'sleu?” he growled.
“An, Coupeau," answered Murray.
“A strange sail approaches the island,
perhaps Flint perhaps another. To
us it matters not. We must entrench
ourselves ashore. The treasure and
sufficient stores for two weelfs’ so
journ will be shifted to the stockaded
fort on the hill north of Captain Kidd’s
anchorage. The men musj work aU
night again If necessary. Do you un
derstand?”
“Oul, m’sleu." replied the gunner.
And Coupeau clumped off down the
companionway. A moment later his
hoarse voice split the quiet of the
ship as he commenced to bark^orders.
“A stout fellow, Coupeau,” com
mented my great-uncle. “I have never
regretted the salvaging of him. But
perhaps it would be as well If we
went on deck and lent him moral
support.”
As a mater of fact, there was less
disposition than we anticipated on the
part of the crew to object to this
new labor. And the reason was not
far to seek. The transfer of ' the
treasure to the fort by the Anchorage
furnished them an opportunity to es-
tablsb an Intimacy of contact with
It they had not known previously, an
intimacy alluring, stimulating, dis
composing. True, they already had
transferred the entire cargqi of toe
Santlssima Trinidad once, had. re
moved the half of it from the Royal
James to the Dead Man's Chest, and
only two days since had broken out
the remainder for division with toe
Walrus.
Peter and 1, with Moira and Ben
Gunn and Sclplo, followed toe main
column of the evacuation about mid
night. Coupeau bad led the first
contingent, some of whom we met re
turning to the ship, to fetch a second
load of stores. My great-uncle was
to come after us with these and toe
remainder of the crew, leaving be
hind on toe Royal James only some
twentj’-odd men who had not yet re
covered sufficiently from wounds re
ceived in toe two actions with the
Santlssima Trinidad and the Walrus'
to permit of their removal, and who
were made as comfortable as possible
on the gundeck.
I noted uneasily that the groups
who passed us were talking eagerly
amongst themselves, with no appear
ance of the surliness to be expected
normally from any sailors put to ex
tra work, although they fell silent aa
soon as' they saw who we were.
‘They have never been drinking,”
I muttered to Peter.
“Neen,” he answered. “But they
get drunk on der treasure.”
“Do but see how it is a fell curse
upon all who touch It,” said Moira.
“Ah, blessed Virgin, toat it were all
in the depths of the ground wher^
God first planted it!”
