The little man nodded anxiously. “It's a cinch,” he asserted. “And when it does swing the chances are ten to one I'll come In from the sou’ west. That's the prevailing wind round here at this season, you know.” “Well? Even so, i'll favor us up the Sound, won't it? Besides, we've got the motor. . . .” “That'll help a heap in case that fog comes down on us, won't it?" Apple. yard snorted in disgust, nodding to ward the bank of tawny haze that dis colored the horizon beyond the low profiles of Nashawena and Cuttyhunk, over the starboard counter. “Hadn't thought of that" “And yet you had the n¢:ve to re sent my suggestion that you needed a keeper!” Coast steered with his gaze fixed upon the compass on the engine-pit now his sole guide Insen- the fog grew more dense, that in time the mast was more or less indistinct and only a yard or so of pallid water was visible on either hand “V¥ineyard Haven tonight, chance?” he asked suddenly Appleyard shook his head decidedly Not unless we get a breeze still 80 “Then i “Only thing to do.

Menem- sha Bight would do us more com fortably—across the Sound, you know, a bit east of Gay Head.” “Why Menemsha Bight?” “Because there's an able-bodied and energetic fog bell at Tarpaulin, Take my advice. There'll be nothing but dead silence at the Bight, and It isn’t much of a run over there.” “You know best. How shall 1 hold her?" “Son'east.” “80.” Coast put the wheel over and brought the Echo round to that course, as indicated by the compass. Monotonously the chronometer In the cabin knelled the half-hours. About two bells (five o'clock) Apple yard began to fidget uneasily. He knocked out his pipe and, jumping up. trotted forward to the bows, whens, an arm embracing the mast, he remained for many minutes stubbornly peering ahead into dreary biankness, After a while he returned, discour- lift with the coil on Oh-—pifile!’ I've been Would an engine the cylin der before! hen course for several hours.” Prezactly ‘And you haven't are?
