"We blubbering. -The Lyre. The Rule oi the Road. The cargo steamer Ampihion was frumming through the fog off Tilla- mook Head on the Oregon coast. The skipper was stamping back and forth on the bridge, volubly imprecating disenthornement on the weather god. telegraph, which pointed, rules and regulations, to “Full Speed. to the third officer. The latter refused to commit himself. Finally his supe- rior glanced at the clock under the hood, listened for an auswer in the night to the bellow of the siren, and said: “I guess we'll let her go. If we can keep up the gait we can make Astoria by the morning tide, and there's no shipping to be afraid of to night. Half speed’s all right for the lower coast, but up here there's no need of losing time that way.” From the note of indecision in captain's voice the third mate thought that encouragement was wanted. But ne stared into the blind haze that hid from view the very wash from the cutwater, and only grunted. “I don't why we shouldn't bit her along,” the skipper went on jras- cibly. “We aren’t more than a good thirty from the light, and when we got off there we can slow down and crawl in by daylight. I ain't a coward to lay her to when there's no need.” “Shall 1 keep her at full speed?” the mate asked. Well, I wouldn't slow down yet awhile. Maybe if it gets much thick- er, and I ain't on the bridge, you bet ter let her down to half speed tell the engineer to d of revolutions.” The watch officer served on several no new thing in his onscientious captain graph at half speed, slow, and warn the too lite rally more, for tl and the see Just rop her a « obey any revolutions indicator id not pe hefore stood quit iety to get moreover pe t ran down anvtl to the The from speak] hief eng SAy3 ame mate, The where at full replied. “The skippe this fog” Zineer, “Yes, he wants to get in thick weather to be steaming twelve” “Bad coast, too.” sistant, flirting his champing eccen “It's always steers,” the chief “They don't like Petersen's all right, he hasn't been on this coast as as I have, or he wouldn't be driving her in this muck.

Btrikes me the skipper is run. ning big risks.” “Yes, he’s reckless tonight. I'm pretty well used to young chaps with hot-headed notions, but the older he grows the less I like the captain who boasts in port that he never went half speed. Sooner or later he gets a les son. Sometimes the engine room pays for it. Mostly, I might say.” The younger resumed his rounds through the machinery, his light hand on a bearing, a swift touch on a driv. ing rod, a squint at an ofl cap, a turn on a valve. The swerving bedplates, the thundering cylinders far above, the clacking pumps, the whirring shaft sang about him as he went, Sud- denly the steady roar of the huge en- gines was dulled. The hard pressed thrust blocks ceased their shrill ery. The plunging piston rods slowed up. the lower beat of half speed. But the assistant hand noticed one strange thing. He quickly joined his chief, and looked at the dial of the tele. graph. ed his inquisitive glance with a low “I don't know what the deck means.
