CHAPTER VIII Continued I CREPT forward, scarcely Jarring the frail craft, and was beyond the Jury mast before the fellow had aroused sufficiently from his knlfo play een to note my ap proach. He stared at mo Insolently, leav ing the keen blade trembling In the plank. Nn doubt he bad expected some such call, and had decided on his course of action. The expression of his face defiant, sneer Ing ns ho stared back scowling Into my eyes, told me Instantly what he proposed doing. He wns armed; he would show me who was ,to glvo orders. "McCann." 1 began, wasting no tlnm In preliminaries, lifting msclf on ono kneo nnd facing him, "the young lady sas ou took ndvantage of my being sound asleep to help yourself to biscuits, Is that so" "Well, what If I did? I was hungry." "So nm I ; so no doubt Is the lady, for the matter of that Hunger Is no Justifica tion for stealing You wero not starving; you received exactly the same share wo did. Mote than that. I have assumed com mand of this boat because I am the only one on board knowing the ways of the sea I told you plainly what you were to do. and I propose to enforce m orders. Not another bite will be given you today or tomorrow." "Is that so?" he drawled, a wicked smile revealing his teeth "You must think jou nro dealing with a foronutt hand It takes snmethlng besides threats to run me, Mr. Robert Hollls" "Threats are not my stock in trade; what ever lesson you are duo for ,ou ore liable to get. I'nderstand this clearly, for l shall not lepeat It. you obey my orders or take the consequences." He hnlt arose to his feet, but I forced h1m back on to the thwart none too gently. His face was red with palon, bis eyes maleotent "Damn you ' take your hands off me '." bo snarled. "No blustering sea bully Is going to make me Jump at the crook ot his finger. You touch me, again and I'll show nu who I am, you big brute Me take, orders from you? Why, hell, !'e pot more money In New Yoik than you oxer saw." "If you owned the Bank of England It would mean nothing to me. You will do what I say or I'll mnko you" "You will" how?" "No matter how; I've trained more men than you to obedience In my time, and nl ways found a way." "Huh! the bucko-mate business, hey?" be sneered. "Well. Just try that on me, If you think it safe. I'll show you" His hand darted back toward his hip poc ket. but I was looking for the movement and ready. His fingers had bnrely gripped tho butt of his weapon when my clinched fist crashed Into his face I have struck harder blows, for I was not poised to put my whole weight behind It. yet tho man went oer ns though floored by itn ax. and lay huddled In the bows quiv ering like a Jelly fish. I Jerked the revolver from the grip of his hand, dropped It Into my pocket, wrenched the open knife from the wood In which It stuck nnd closed the blade. "Get up now, you fool," I ordered sharply. "Oh, yes. you will." and I gripped him by the collar and lifted him roughly to his knees. "That Is likely to be the last time you will ever attempt to pull n gun on me. Make another movement. McCann, nnd I'll throw you overboard. Now listen: You are no Wail street broker nt present; you aro merely n foremast hand, and I'm your master- You belter get that Idea Into your head right away. You take your orders from me and you Jump when I speak or I shnll take pleasure In breaking cery bono In your body. Do you understand.tbat?" I doubt if he could see out of one eye, but thc other exhibited a terror almost pitiable, "Y yes" "Say sir. when you speak to inc." "Yes .os, sir." "You'll keep to this end of tho boat here after; whether I am asleep or awake, you stay forward of tho Jury mast." t'HAI'TKR IX nn SKJHT A TRAMP THi; one blow, coupled with the loss of his wcopons. bad so completely cowed the feltow that I scarcely gave him another thought Ho had been bully all bis life, protected by wealth nnd position, but had sense enough to realize that these things did not count for ery much alone with me in an open boat at sea, No doubt ho would hate me and plan rnenBe, but for the present, at least, there would bo little' onportXinlty for those plan's to nssumo defi nite form. Onco safely ashore, and amid his own kind, ho would scheme to crush me" but until then I could Ignore his very existence, except to enforce my orders. I crept back to the stern and took tho steer ing oar, the girl's eyes meeting mine qucs- tlonlngly- , "I could not see all that occurred, because of the sail," she said. "You disarmed the m!"Yes I have his revolver In my pocket, and tho knife also. He will mnko no more trouble; the fellow Is an nrrunt coward, but no less dnngoious on that account. Come we will divide n biscuit between us, nnd then it will bo your turn to lie down " "But doesn't McCann have any?" "Ho has had more than his share al ready I'M offer him n swallow of water that's all. I imagine the way his head feels, he has forgotten all about being hungry." "You had to strike him?" "Slightly; a mere tap of sea discipline," .i t danced at my knuckles. "He was armed, you know, and I could chances. There Is no harm done, tako no Come ; are you not tlrod enough to rest?' She glanced up Into my face. "You will call me at midnight, if I fall asleep?" , , "If 1 feel worn out then, and the sea keeps as It Is, or no worse. There, take my coat for n pillow. 'No, really I shall not need It; this Is an ideal summer night. Did you ever see the sky more glorious with stars?" "They only make It appear more lonely, and fearful." she said thoughtfully. "I never reallied before the awful Immensity of this vast ocean. Why. do you know. I thought of It as covered with ships, yet we have floated all night and all day long, without glimpse (of either smoke or sail ; nothing to stare at, hour after hour, but sea and Bky." "We are out of tho tiack of ships." "But do you still believe we will find one?" "I have every faith In the world," I an swered heartily, determined to conceal my doubts. "If the weather holds pleasant we should b far enough south -by morning to be In the North Atlantlo lane between New York and Liverpool. We are fully fifty miles now from where the Esmeralda jvent down, and there must be ships aplenty In these waters. Of course. I can only guess at our position) but I know within a few miles of where we are. Lie down and rest. Miss Vera; there Is no' sign of any tnrm brewing, and tomorrow you'll prob ably have the deck of a liner under your J" i her head. She rested theie motionless, her face shadowed by ono arm, nnd xery soon her tegular breathing convinced mo she slept like a tired child I looked nt her shadowy llgtire; then forwnid to.whcro Mc Cann hung silent In tho bows. It wns a dieitry picture, that little, cockleshell, toss ing up nnd down on tho sutges. tho vast ex panse of black, limitless water on cither hand, and overhead tho ludnlle spaces, (lock ed with glittering stnis. It seemed ns though some spectral hand clutched nt my throat as 1 stared about, tho diear deso lation Ktlpplng me like u delirium of fever. What If wo should not overhaul n ship? what If some evil fate would penult of our floating on unseen? It was all guesswork where wo were; we might bo leagues vet from familiar waters, for I bad no guide except sun and stars, and a vague mcniorv of our position tho noon before tho yacht sank And there were few- eatubl., i,i,.nir left, nnd barely n cupful of tepid water. The thought of what the end might bo nearly crazed Ine as I sat there alone in the silence and doom I cntild plctuie thoe llnnl hours of despair, ns we lay starved nnd helpless In the ungulded boat, thc glil mercifully unconscious, perhaps, nnd Mc Cann a Klliberlng Idiot. My God! I must stop thinking I must be a man for her sake; nje. and return my self-control, so ns to do n man's work to tho end. Tho wind strengthened, not blowing sieniiiiy. nut in little puffs from the cast I trimmed the makeshift of a sail as best I could, knowing It would bo useless to mouse McCann for such a sailor's Job. nnd headed our course to west of south, ns Closely as I could Judge dliectlon bv the stars, An hour later we were bowling along nt a fair rate of speed the little dlnghv laylng down to It. the black water lapping her port gunwale, and u line line of foam stretching astern She was n crank crnft to control with n heavy steering oar, ami J had small faith In the lashings of inv Im provised must, which might go bv the 'board, nt nny minute The action nnd tho anxletv were the very tonic I needed, however, nnd my mind cleared with the struggle. At midnight the wind was nt Its height, and I did not call the girl, us I dared not trust her to steer the crnft through such rough water. She slept undisturbed, not even changing her position, u mete dim out line nt mv feet. Forwatd McCann hail stowed himself uw.iy beyond the bow thwart, and I could see nothing of him under the bight of the still I was the only one awake in the leaping boat, lighting Its desperate way through the black waters under the dull gleam of the stars With straining e.ves I held on forgetful of all else except duty, thrilled and exhilarated by this life nnd death struggle with the sea. Oc casionally a slapping wave showered me with salt spiny, nnd once we shipped n bucket of wnler amldshlp, jet all In all the lahoilng dinghy proved herself a fair sea boat, nnd I held nn grimly, driving her through tho smother until tho dawn gave mo view acmss thc gray expanse. McCann being llrst nroused, crept out of his hole and seated himself where he could staro back at me. One eye was completely closed nnd encircled with a black ling, and, after a minute, he began to bathe the bruise, dipping up water from oveislde with one hand. Ho did not speak, nor did I offer to address him He had pioved such a despicable poltioon that my deslro as far ns possible wns to avoid all possible con tact The sun had begun to show nbove tho horizon before tlie girl finally nwoke nnd sat up In the bottom. of the boat, staring about her with wide-open eyes, ns though startled by tho change In the aspect ot the sea. Finally she lifted herself to the nearest thwart and greetcc mo reproach fully. , "You have let mo sleep all night, nnd lying on your coat. Why, you nre wet through." "Nothing but a dash of salt spray; tho sun will dry me out In an hour." I ex plained "Their was no reason why I should dtstuib you. Miss Vera, for the sea has been running too high to permit of your handling the boat " "But you must be tlrecj nearly to death." "Far from It, and we aro to be blessed with another day of sunshine. Perhaps by afternoon thc sea will have gone down nnd I can get a nap. Are you ready for break fast?" , My explanation dhr not satisfy her; I could read that In thc expression of hor face, but she made no further protest. "There have been no ships nothing has happened dining tho n:ht?" "Not so much as h shadow to arouse suspicion ; but I hopo much from these horns of daylight " "You believe we nro now In tho track of any ocean steamers?" "To tho best of my Judgment we are close to the lane of Inward-bound liners. Of course. It Is mostly guess work, but I have a sailor's Instinct." She drew out the biscuits from tho locker, broke ono In two, and handed the half to me. Still clinging to tho bag, her glance fell upon tho slouching figure of McCann In the bow, nnd then hor eyes sought my fatn questioning!. "You are not going to offer him nny?" "Ho deserves none, ho has already had more than both of us togelhir How many nro left?" "Seven fit to eat. But " she hesitated, yet went on bravely enough, "please, ho Is not accustomed to being depilved of food, and Is really suffering. Let him have my share, for 1 am not .at all hungry t" uly I nm not." "I shall Insist on your eating," I said, nlmot Blemly. "Your tihare Is little enough to sustain life. If It comes to .a cholco between saving you and that miserable thing yonder, my course Is taken, However. I giant your request now, although 1 doubt If ho shows even grati tude. McCann !"

You owe this to the lady- cutch It now," ' He picked tho half biscuit up from the bottom of tho boat, where It fell nt his feet, and began nibbling nt it. like n famished dog. There was no sign of thankfulness In his nctloii, and ho continued to glare nt us with ono cyo open In sullen Insolence. Anger overcame tho small mensure of sympathy I felt .for tho fellow. "You see, Miss Vera." 7 said bitterly, "ho Is too much of ti brute to even ap pieclato your kindness. Tho fool even Imagines I nm nfiald of him, nnd do not daro enforce my -orders. Them Is only one way to handle his kind." ''Vet t nm not sorry, Mr. Hollls." she nnswered softly, "r could not bear to think of him sitting there all day with nothing to cat.' Because f do not like the man, Is no icason why I should wish to see him suffer." The ircollenllons of that foreuoQii are not altogether distinct In my memory. 1 was weary nnd sleepy, yet dared not desert tho steering oar, for the sea ran strong, nnd the wind struck us In sharp gusts. The shining water, sparkling under Jho sun's rays, blinded my eyes, and altogether I was In no mood for nssumlng a cheei ful ness of demeanor 1 wns far from feeling. Yet I dare not confess tho truth and add to tho despondency nf the girl besldo mo who o.vei never seemingly lcfi the lino of the hoilzon ; yet who, ns the ICHdon hours slipped by without reward, begun to droon perceptibly, nnd ply mo with questions I found haul to answer. We talked little, for our stock of common place wns completely exhausted, and our mlnd'i centeied only upon ono thing tho possibility nf rescue. Indeed, her palpnble efforts nt cheerfulness hurt mo more than her silence, they were so plainly nssumed. and, when she glanced up nt me, I could perceive tho lines of hopelessness in her face nnd the pleading of her eyes. There wns nn coward In her nature, no shrinking; never hail I been companion with a braver soul, yet she already realized fully the desperation of our situation, nnd no .words of mine brought comfort or lasting confi dence McCann icmnlned like ono stupe fied, never changing his posture. Ho had turned his bark upon us and faced forward, but whether to keep watch or doze I could tint dctoimlne, for his body wns slouched down Into utter shnpclessness. Tho sun bhued down upon us out of a clear sky, glistening along the foam of racing waves, but ns noon nppioached tho southern sky became misty, tho clouds In creasing In density until wo could see only n few bundled yards beyond our bow- It was not a storm cloud, and brought with It tin fear of disaster, but completely blotted out the hoilzon nnd gnvo a dark, sullen gloom to tho surrounding waters I had permitted tlie boat's head to fall off and. with barely steerage way, the makeshift of a sail (lapping against tho mast, wo rose and fell on the giant surges. It must have been 3 o'clock when Mc- Cnpn suddenly gave vent to a startled roar, stialghtenlng to bis knees and pointing straight ahead Into the smother I stared, but saw nothing except the grotesque forms assumed by tlie vv lilt ling mlt, but Vera leaned out over the side, shading her eyes. "What Is It?" 1 asked sharply. "Mako a report, man '." "A ship vender!" bo shouted, hut with out turning his bean "I saw It plainly enough, but It has gone now." "I seo It. Mr Hollls!" tho girl cried ex citedly "Right out there through that lano of mist It's u big steamer!" "Straight ahead?" "Just a little this way there! you can see her now!" I did. a mere glimpse, Instantly obscured, but visible again a moment Inter. The fog seemed to drift apart. leaving a broad lane, nnd In the very center nppenrcd the steamer, looking a mammoth to our eyes and al icady so close that my tlrst Impulse was to hnlt. Rut before I could put this Into execution McCann was on his feet, gesticu lating wildly. ' "Now, damn you." he shouted, "put us on board there nnd I'll show you who I nm. You brute. I daro you to put us on board." "Sit down !" I ordered. "Now, keep still nnd stand by with that rope. I'll put you aboard all right, but until I do you will obey what 1 say or go Into the water."
