mnko sure of what Tony wns doing down In
tho engine room: then, apparently satisfied,
swung to firm footing on the deck of the
passage, flashing his light nft
Tho radius was smnll, nnd his glance
must have revealed nothing strange, for tho
fellow whistled softly ns he advanced. His
cold callousness to the fate of the men
whom ho supposed to be helplessly confined
In the rapidly sinking hulk angered me, a
sudden rage almost causing me to give ut
terance to an oath.
He was almost at the stateroom door be
hind which wo were hiding before ho even
noted the absenoe of the wooden bars which
had confined the prisoners. He stopped, a
look of amazement on his face, the lantern
swung higher to throw tho light forward.
Before he could move a limb I had stepped
forth Into the radiance, the muzzle of my
revolver held within three Inches of his
eyes
' Doo't drop your hands, Dugan," I said
sternly "Not an Inch, you brute Here
Leayord, take the lantern from him Move
quietly, all of you Now. Olson, If there
is a sheet in there, or anything you can
make a cord out of, bring It to me yes,
take the lantern a minute. Good! that will
answer; now, lads, make It strong1 a
sailor's knot."
Dugan sputtered and swore under his
breath, but the shock robbed him of all
power of resistance. I never saw a more
amazed look In a man's eyes. He stared
at us as though we were ghosts raised from
the grave to haunt him.
"Any one below beside Bapello?" I asked,
gripping his shoulder so as to make him
look at me. "Answer now, or I'll tako
means to make you."
"No."
"No, what, you fool! You are speaking to
tho captain of this ship."
"No, sir." , ,
"That's better, you were the last two men
left aboard, I tako It It was your Job to
open the sea-socks?"
He nodded sullenly as I dug the revolver
deep into his cheek.
"Vou dirty murderer, where did you leave
McCann? Twist his neck, Leayord, until
ha finds his tongue."
cabin after the girl Tony was the only one
left In the engine room, and I was sent
along to see that he left the cocks open."
"The boats were all over the side, then?"
"Yes. sir."
"How many of them?"
"Four."
"Where were they?"
He set his teeth, but the pressure ot Lea
yord's fingers compelled an answer.
"Three o' 'em had got away, lyln" maybe
a hundred jards out, and the fourth was
still at the ladder, waltln' fer us to come
over the side.
"This Isst one was McCann's boat? Who
were In It?"
"I didn't look over to see, sir"
"Maybe not, but ou know Just the same.
The men were nil pkked for the boats, Olve
the names "
"Well, thar wus Liverpool. White. Dubois,
Tony nn' inself. tho nigger, Watson, nn'
let s see Joe Sachs"
' Seven w Ith McCann nnd the girl nine ;
not overloaded surely, but quite a picked
compnny, worthy their chief. The other
bonis held more?"
"About twelve men each, sir."
l-esyord's eves met mine In silent under
standing He wns seaman enough to In
stantly grasp the purpose of this unequal
division tho lighter boat would bo the
better sailor, the easier operated In a heavy
sea
"Which boat was It you fellows chose?"
ho asked
"The port-quarter boat."
"I thought so. Whatil w e do with Dugan,
sir?"
"Thow hint Into the bosun's bunk, and
then nail up the door Weil give him n
dose of his own medicine More lively;
there's nnother Job waiting us on deck."
CltAPTKH XXXII
We Capture the Ship
THEY wero In no way gentle nbout It.
yet the vvork was noiselessly done, and
with snllor-llke thoroughness Dugan under
took to curse, but was so Instantly gagged
that only the first muffled word reached me
In tho passage Masters held the lnntern,
while tho two mates refastencd tho door,
driving home tho nails with tho Iron bar.
The moment this was sccute I was ready for
tho ncrt net
"Ulvo tho lantern to Olson, Masters
You've (rot to look after tho engine room,
nnd leave us to attend tbe deck iob.
There'll be thse sea-cocks to see to first,
nnd Then keep enough fire under the hollers
for steerage-way. Down with you, nnd don't
pav any attention to whatever wo do"
Heavy ns he was ho went down the iron
rungs of the ladder like a fireman answer
ing a call, and the three of us who wero left
behind In tho passage stared Into each
others facos, barely visible In tho dim
radius of light
"What next, sir?" asked Leayord ejix
lously "There's only three of us now, an
fortv-threo o' them "
"One less you're counting Dade, and he's
safe enough The boy Moon Is of no ac
count, nnd I Imnglno thero nro twenty men
out In those boats who havo no heart In
this business They'd bo with us now If
they had any chnnce Isn't that so, Olson?"
"Yns. sir but they won't likely glt no
chance "
"True enough; yet It Is something to
know that McCnnn nnd his gnng cannot
count on them cither. If it comes to a fight.
As things stand It Is all a matter of luck
and nerve Three of the boats, with thirty
six men In them, are afloat and far enough
nway. If It Is a dark night, bo that the ship
Is little more than a shadow Those lads
will see nothing of what takes placo on
board. There aro only six In the boat hang
ing to the foot of tho lader, with McCann
left nlone on deck Wo ought to bo able to
handle that bunch"
Leayord dug thn Iron bar ho held Into
the deck planks, savagely.
"What did yor tell Masters to only keep
up enough steam for nteerago-way for, sir?"
ho asked bluntly.
