'That s haret to saj, sir, oft hand I haven't been shipmates with them, or with any o' this crew long enough jet to sl?e 'em up. but there ale a few men forward who don't chum none with Liverpool's ciowd Olson would know 'em better than I " "Well, tho sooner w learn exactly how we stand In this matter tho better. I'll relievo jou as soon na I have a bite to eat." "V es. sir, and the course?" "Xnr'eust bv east. There has been no ob servation ta'.-en for three days. Masters tells me but that ought to keep us outside the regular steamer lines Half-speed, and n good lookout forward'' In spite of its general dlnglncss of paint and furnishings, the main cabin had a look of cozinees and comfort ns 1 entered from tho black gloom of the decks Tho table had been set for four, the swinging light above gleaming over a whlto table cloth, and nn abundance of food Uascom and Miss Vera occupied seats on onn side, whllo Olson, washed and brushed Into a slate of rare discomfort, sat nlono opposite No doubt tho fellow would have greatly pre fetred being forwaid, and was so embar rassed as to scaicely glance up at my en trance A slim narrow-chested man, hlb weak mouth partially concealed bv n strag gling moustache, and who answered to the name of Dade, acted as steward: but tho bov, Moon, was doing most of the work. I drew out the single vacant chair and eat down "Well " I said pleasantly, breaking the rather awkward silence. "I do not exactly know where wo are going, .but we are on our way" Olson's ejes wandered to the telltale compass overhead, but his mouth was full and he made no attempt to speak. Bascom glanced from the girl's face across at me Inqulrlnglj. "You have cnosen our couroo wien, jur. Hollls?" he asked "Hardly, at least only for temporary purposes. Yos, milk and sugar, Dade one Is enough. You see I have no observations jet and I must find what charts are left on board. Remain nfter supper, Mr. Olson, and we will examine Captain Hadley's stateroom together" "Yes, sir," he mumbled gruffly "But surely we are under way," Bascom Insisted "Half-pced, and heading nor'eaat by east, which should tako us out of the usual course of ships In these seas. By tomorrow noon I hope to know our exact position, and also the disposition of the crew," The sea Is rising, I Judge." "There Is every promise of a rough night, but nothing to worry over, Dade, why did you set the table only for four? There Is another passenger aboard?" .ha has lefused to mess aft, sir," nh. he has! Well, possibly, I may have something to say as to that. Did he give any reason?" Dade endeavored to hide a jrln. i'Not exactly a reason, sir," he aniwered softly, SHOW r&. ir 1- r? 3AT Ur wa but when Dade departed on nn errand for ward, decided I might Just as well discuss tho situation frankly "I am beginning to fear," I said qulellj", "that Mr I'crgus McCnnn Intends to make us all tho trouble possible, nnd Is even now behind most of tho dissatisfaction on board Do jou know anj thing definite, Mr Olson?" Tho mate paused In his eating, with knife and fork uplifted ' You mean tho man who came aboard along with j-ou nnd tho lady, Blr?" he asked "Exactlv; his name Is McC.ann " "I hid not hcaid, sir Mny I ask If he Is rich'"' 'Quito so, be wan a guest on the jacht INmcralda Now th.it I havo answered these question Mr. Olson," and I stared Into his rather emotionless face Intently, 'perhaps jou will bo kind enough to nil swer mine " "I would know what I talk," ho returned stubborn! j 'This man never spenks to me at all, sir. Tho only tlmo I seo him was when ho come over the nldo. but I hear plenty talk among tho men. That was before I was made olllcer, sir; no ono saj a word to me since He, this Mister Mc C.ann, ho offers $10,000 to bo put back In New York." 'So, that's his game! Who brought the word forwaid?" "Cookie, I think, sir. Anjhow ho be gun to talk first, and then Liverpool Red, nnd a fellow called Jim White slipped Into the gallej- to mako sure of things." "And McCanu satisfied them that he actually had tho money?" "Ho suro did, sir I overheard Jim Whlto say tint he had n belt on him with more moncj- In It than they d ever seen bo fore In all their lives Tho damned fool I beg jour pardon.
