There was a shoot Vug affray In ft New- York les taurant over some woman." "McCann shot him, and got away?' "Bought his way clear." "Ho Is rich then?" "Tho fellow has more money than you and I will ever lee. Mr Leayonl. He's In the nnlv Place now where It can do him ' The niate shook his head doubtfully, his eyes wandering toward the men nt the wheel. , "1 wish I was so cocksure of that, sir, ho said soberly. "There's some mighty bad blood forward on this ship, nnd It's my judgment we're not out of the mess vet bv a long ways. Those wo'.es have got a scent nf MeCnnn's gold, and they'll never leave the trail until they get It." "You mean Liverpool and White?" Well, they're tlm main guys, sir. But theie sue othcis ready t nough to follow "They have only McCann's word for his ability "to p.t " "Not thiin; the fellow has a belt on. with a bunch of the real stuff I have It from Dade. sir. that he's scattered a thou- tnd alreatlv. just to prove that he's got It," " "Hut .vou' don't think they would actually attempt" mutiny?" "They'io not calling It that, sir. It's the cargo nboaid, and your determination to land It safe at Hamburg, which Is going to make tho trouble. Thero Is only ono German in tho crew, sir tho rest aie all English and Swedes, except a couplo of nlggeis. The Swedes and niggers will do whatever the others tell 'em to, an' tho nigument forward, according to Dade, Is, that It'll bo no crime to capture this ship nnd run her into an English port. That's tho tnlk Liverpool and White are putting up in tho forecastle they naturally aim to hog all that money themselves, an' get off scot free. Red even suggested to Olson that he. corns In on tho schema nnd ncccpt a third " "What did Olson say?" "Well, sir. Olson Is all right Liverpool didn't come out snuare with the proposi tion, so that the second mato could knock him down ; he Just hinted at It easy like, and Olson told him politely to go to hell, an' later repoited It to me, But that shows us the way the wind Is blowing sir." "Tho men seem tpilet enough." "They'ro not ready yet, but' hell -will bieak looso presently, nccordlng to my no tions. AValt until they hear what has hap pened to McCann." "Well," I said deliberately, "we shall have to meet whatever comes, Mr. Leayord. I talked with McCann again this morning, and offered him his rreedoin aft If he would promise to keep away from the crew. Ho refused to accept parole, so I locked him up again. Do you suggest any other course?" "No, sir, I don't," he said slowly, after n pause for thought. "It's likely to amount to tho tamo thing either way we turn, but It's to our advantage to have that fellow In our own hands," Ho lifted his eyes In quiringly to my face. "This Miss Carrlng ton, now, by nny chanco Is she tho same lady those two men got to shooting about?" "No, blio wns not involved In tho quar rel. Tho fact Is she was only a young girl when she knew Bascom, nnd McCann had never met her personally until wo escaped from tho wreck of tho yacht together." "She was a passenger, also?" "In a way, yes." feeling no necessity for nny further explanation. "Sho was the owner's daughter." "Then she's ilch, too?" "Her father Is one of New York's multl millionaires. What difference does that make, Mr. Leayord?" "Nothing much, likely," ho answered, leaning against the rail, his eyes on the dis tant bank of cloud, "only maybe we might play money against money In this game, with a fair chance to win, I reckon gold, no matter where It comes from, would look good to those dovlU forward." "Scarcely a manly act on our part to suggest such a thing." "Well, I don't know nbout that, sir," he Insisted stubbornly. "I reckon old man Car rlngton would be willing enough to pay the price rather than have his girl left in the hands of those fellows. They'll be no lambs If they ever get control of tho ship.

If we. failed to uphold discipline nnd thoso unbridled ruff inns ome tditnlned control of the vessel? The th .ught staggered me. McCann even If he desired t-j do n md I blncerely doubted tho desire would he utterly helpless In the grip of Iho.-e mmo", spirits whom ho had unchained Tho would merely laugh at him Eton ,f through the Influence of hla wealth he ie tallied supremacy and a maasuie of , mint would not tho fellow himself tie his powrr for evil'.'

Nor did I doubt he had the subtlety to do this, antl play the part to absolute perfection The mnii' was not devoid of brains or the wavs of mrui refinement If. under the stress of danger and the hardships of unaccustomed environ ment, he had reverted to bin true type he still retained the veneer of outward form nnd could easily assume, If occasion war ranted, the seinhlatico of a gent eman To my thought he was tho inoxt to he feared of all those aboard, and the least to be trusted Long sea training had taught me how elllciontlv to tlenl with the others they were of a t.vpe easily understood, to ho mastered by stem discipline and driven to their duty; but this fellow Mct'ntin, wealthy lulncd by flatter), . controlled by 'unbridled desire, would never respond to such meth ods.
