"I'll need both my hands free Hold It as low as possible. .Now, heie goes !" 1 did not pra audibly, but a prayer was in my heart us I released my grlo on the lug and took the plunge The first chair crumpled beneath my weight, but by good luck the second held Just long enough to enable me to glip the latch of the door and cling tight The slant of the deck gave ono groping foot piecnrlnus purchase on tin threshold, although water swept nearly to my wnlst. and for a moment 1 tottered there, helpless to do more than meiely sus tain my poxltlou. The noise made b this struggle must have been beard within, for I became nwaie of water'splashlng, and a list pounded the door. "Help: N that you, Mr Seelcy?" "No," 1 answered, netted to new effort by the sound of her voice, nnd the knowledge that 1 had Indeed located tho tight spot and found her slill alive. "This is llollls. Is the door locked?" "Yes, Mr. Seoley has the key ; you must bo quick the water Is already abovo my waist " "No time for keys, then," I said "Stand back until 1 cut u wov In Thinvv your light down, Mi'C.um ay, that's better!" Th,. Lite b of the door was rorwniu; i could cPng to it and have my right hand free Willi which to wield the lutein t. keep ing both feet wedged on the thteshold. The light was the merest glimmer, yet sulllclcnt to reveal the paneling or the dooi. and I lucked at this lleicely. exerting the full strength of my arm Whatever the wood might have been, It was no light pine A dozen blows, however, spllnteied the upper i,.innl and then I ent the keen blade ensh'ng downwind, gouging out great .hunks and splinters until a Jagged passage had been made sulllclently laiga for the passage of a body. 1 could see nothing within; the darkness was intense und the gill must have drawn back to escape In Jiuy. and hence was invisible. The water was deeper In the cabin than In the pass-ago without, and now came pouring forth thintigh the opening, di eliciting me neatly o the nnnplts MtCann called In warning. Ills Voice CI.Ki.eil Willi u leriur lie tviiiiu nv longer control. "Walt, I'll be there In u minute!" 1 shouted back, my only fear lest ho desert us The bulkhead still held; this tin rent was water which had found other entrance; no doubt it would oventuall lnciease In milium nnd sink the vessel, yet there was still ampin time for Us to escape. There 'would be no Midden plunge whlto that bulk head held. "Are von nil ilKht. Miss Vera?" I asked anxiously. "Wheie are you? Can you see me?" "Yes; I am clinging to the berth." Her voice was excited, but clear. "The water Is up to my shoulders. Is the opening sulll clent?" "For you 1 think, If you can make It alone. I should have to knock out another panel to get tluough niyse.f." "Theie Is no time for that, and no need. I'm coming now ; watch out " Our two bodies so obscured the faint glow of the lantern dangling from MeCann's hand ibove that I could see nothing, yet 1 man aged to gi apple her arm and thus assist In dragging her Into tlie Jugged opening. The inter singing l the sodden loll of the doomed vacht. and now dammed by her body poured over us both In suffocating volume, but the. stiugglo was only for :i moment, and then I had the girl safely clasped In my arms, her head elevated well abovo the lecedlng Hood. "Now. grasp tho rug," 1 ordeied, nu I thrust Iter light form upward. "It will help j on creep up the slope of tho deck. Creep on back. McCann. with the lantern; never mind me I'll ilnd a way out." She possessed sumclont nerve unu strength tor tho effort. There was no hesitancy, no wold of protest. Silently. Inch by inch, she fought her way nft, her feet slipping on the wet planks, but her fingers gripping desperately at the sustain ing cloth. I could see only the outline of her revealed ngainst the gleam of tho lantern, as McCann clambered upward In advance. My struggle was to keep my own feet In that torrent of water; It was deep ening rapidly, and there seemed to be a. more violent surge to the hull as though the sea without was growing disturbed. I could hear the giounlng of the, bulkhead ti. the strain, nnd iculized that the timbers could not long hold against the immense weight. I could pcrcelvo nothing, save the faint radius or light above, now nearly obscured bv tho two forms ciceplng upward, and the water, surging back und forth from wall to wall, uheady Mapped me in the face. Yet I clung there, my hand gripping tho Jagged edge of the hole In the door, my feet still flnnlv planted on tho sill, until assured both the others had attained tho after cabin safely. Then I sprang for tho lower end of tho tug, and went up, hand over hand, reckless of the strain, my one desire to get out of that black hole again Into the open air. Suddenly the fear had come Into my heart: not until then Had I pausea io iiium effort had obscured all conception of dnnger; but waiting there In that black hell, tho creaking of timbers In ..ly ears, tho water clutching at my throat, tho full horror of It overwhelmed me with sudden terror. My God! Surely we could not have accomplished all this, and still be doomed to dlo like rats in a noie. ai iei we must reach the open deck, and have a chance to fight for life under the Btars. Yet once I had uttalned the dabln, alt this left me. Ghastly as the wreck of that Interior appeared, the wider space brought back to me the seaman's courage. There was liSSe yetl an opportunity to fight. McCann hnd dronned the lantern on the overturned piano, and was urging the girl forward toward the stairs. i Terror made him obvious to everything Axeent a mad desire to eucape. but she was glancing i - ".. -.... for me I clambered to my knees amid the litter of furniture, and snatched up the light barely in time to keep It from smash ing on the deck. "I am nil right," I called confidently. "Get outside both of you as quick as you can." Never in all my Ufa have I experienced the tame sense of relief as when I stumbled otif of that companion on to the open deck, .- f.n the night air In my nostrils: yet not until then did my brain truly grasp a desperate nature or our situation, Be ow fighting fiercely for her life, my whole attention had been -centered on the one ohlect. but now tha whole horror lay out Snr.iVd before me In all Its hideous details.

It was not a star It was far loj closo to tho horizon beyond doubt It was a masthead light on the steel monster which had run us down. 1 held tlie lantern behind my body, and stared out through the void at tho faraway spoilt It was no more th.ui a phi prick, bniely visible across miles of open water, and growing fainter each second, I read tho whole moaning, despair clutching my heart, Tho vessel had waited nnd picked up tho Esnieinlda's floats; believing she, then bad on boaid all who lived, she hud lesumed her voyage. A mall boat, no doubt, running on schdulc, every minute of delay meant loss (o the owners, and the captain would never lie bv until morning Sup posing he hail leseued all lives, he cared nuthlng for the sinking hulk.

It was a thirty-foot climb, but tho tall stanchions made a fair ladder, giving good hand anil foothold, al though occasionally the hulk beneath us lolled so heavily In the sea as to bring us to a pause, clinging gihnly to tho tuned tope in older to letulu our balance. Tvvlco I thought the doomed yacht was actually going down, us under the Mow of some swell she leaned heavily to slaiboaid. giv ing glimpse of Ihe black water Just below where vvn clung so desperutelv.

It was hi liken amidships nnd useless, but jammed under u tliwurt lay a man's body; the gleam of light tested on the upturned face and I tecognlzed with honor the fe.i tliles of Fosdlek. Sickened, covering mv eyes with one aim, I clung to the shattered lull, com pletely unnerved. The struggle to control niVMif, to get a new grip, could not have lasted a moment. Tho volco of tho girl aroused me luought me hack Instantly to manhood. "Mr. llollls, the dory Is still hero'" I swept the lantern about, confused and unable to locate tho sound McCann was douching against the cabin, hut tho woman, aided by the Hag locker, had crept oft and now leaned out over tho stern rail and was pointing eagerly down Into the black wuter. 1 worked my way cautiously for vvatd to where sho 'clung, the lantern swung overside. Its small ling of light giv ing mo view of the whole uptllted stern. The water within the yacht must have heen steadily rising, for wo weto already so deeply submerged that only tho upper half of tho screw was visible, together with u small section of the rudder. Tho dory, wljlch had evidently been left trailing astern, was actually ulloat, although halt tilled, and her oars, Jammed securely under a thwart, wero still In place, Tho position of tho vessel, the water logged condition of the smaller craft, told me at a glanco tho whole story. What was left of the ciew of tho Esmeralda, together with those guests who had lived to attain tho deck, had made their escape In the two missing boats they would hold twenty ouch and weie strong and seaworthy. No doubt tho smashed one theie had been low ered lirst, but the tacklo Jammed, and In tho wreck Fosdlek had been killed Tho others had clambered aboard the two left, leaving hhn crushed behind They hnd no need of the dory, which at that time was In ull probability perched high and dry on the uptllted stern, wheio launching wai Impossible. Since then tho yacht had been steadily sinking; had, perhaps, assumed a different position as it thus became more deenlv submerged. Tho light' dory, Btlll held fast by Its painter, had slid down tho wet planks back into the sea. shipping some wuter as It came down stern on, but re maining buoyant enough to remain afloat. So fur as I could perceive not a scam was opened, and every ounco of water had swept In over tho gunwales. The sight of the little craft, stunch nnd buoyant, bobbing about Just below us In the glow of light, brought back my courngo. mVBassC HlKS rm Twj?wvjmr'w fzm f"V VWX I - "J , f- ' fl. i T 'HiMfMm V . .
