excuse him from duty, but gallantly,

her.” And he did, although, figurative
ly speaking, he was a dead man before
he went on the bridge, end days had
strung themselves into but few weeks
when he was ordereg home on slok
leave. He came up ut of his cabin
dressed In civilian clothes and was met
by the rear admiral, who extended him
a most cordial hand. A look of trou-
bled disappointment flitted across the
captain’s brow, but vanished when he
stepped to the head of the gangway
and, looking over, saw, not the launch,
but a twelve oared cutter manned en-
tirely by officers of the Olympia. There
were men In that boat who had not
pulled a stroke for a quarter of a cen-
tury. The stars and stripes were at
the stern and a capgain’s silken coach
whip at the bow, dnd when Captain
Gridley, beloved allke by officers and
men, entered the boat it was “Up

were common sallors that were to row
him over to the Zafiro. When hie sat
down upon the handsome boat cloth
