the Doralno sailed from n South
American port and turned her glisten
in nose to the northeast. All told, there
were some 750 souls on board ; and there
yctrt stores that filled her holds from
end to end grain, foodstuffs, metals,
chemicals, rubber, and certa'n sinister
things of war. Her passenger list con
tained tho names of men who had
achieved distinction In world affairs
In finance, In buslrcas, In diplomacy. In
r, besides that less subtle pursuit
adventure men from both hemispheres
from all continents. It was a cosmopoli
tan company that sailed out to sea that
placid day, bound for a port 6000 milts
away. Her departure heavy laden,
from the South American port was
properly recorded In tho then secret an.
rial of a great nat'ons the world at
large, however, was none the wtsjtr. For
those were tho days when sly undersea
monsters of German descent wore prowl
Inr about tho oceans, taking toll of hu
manity and breeding tho curse that was
to abide with tholr progenitors forever.
Down through the estuary and Into
the spreading bay slid the big steamer :
breast the curving coast line shu drovn
her way for leagues and leagues, and
then swept boldly Into the vast Atlantic
desert
Four hundred years ngo and more.
Amerigo Vespucci had sailed this un
known southern sen In his doughty cara
vel! he had wallowed and rocked for
months over a course that the Doralno
was asked to cover In tho wink of an
eye by comparison. Up from the south
ho had come In an age when the seas ho
tailed were no less strango than the
land he touched from time to time : the
blue waste of sky and sea as boundless
then as now; the west wind dr'ft as
sure and unfailing; tho waves as savage
or as mild: tho star by which he laid his
course as far away and Immutable but
he camo In 1601 and his ship was alono
In the trackless ocean. i
The mighty Doralne was not alone;
the sailed a sea whose every foot was
charted, whoso every depth was, eounded
She sailed In an ago of Titans, While the
carael was a frolicsome pigmy, dancing
to the muslo of a thousand winds, buffet
ed today, becalmed tomorrow, but always
a mall on the face of the waters. Four
hundred years ago Vespucci and his
men were lost rt the wilderness of waves.
Out of touch with tho world were they
for months aye, oven yars and no
man knew whither or whence they sailed
nor whence they came, for thoso were
the days when the Beven seas kept their
secrets better than they keen them now.
Into the path traversed by the lowy
caravel steamed tho towering Dora.ne,
pointing her gleaming nose to the north
and east
She was never seen again.
Out from tho lairs of the great Amor
lean navy sped the swl.'test hounds of
the ocean. They swept tho face of the
waters with a thousand sleepless eyes;
they called with tho strango, myster ouo
voice that carries a thousand miles;
they raked the seas as with a fine-tooth
comb; they searched the coast of a con
tinent ; they penetrated Its rivers, circled
Its Islands, scanned Its rocks and reefs
and asked a stnglo question that had but
ene reply from overy ship that sa led the
'southern sea.
For months ships of all nations
searched for tho missing steamer. Not
to much as the smallest piece of wreck
ate rewarded the ceaseless quest. The
treat vessel, with all Its precious cargo,
had slipped Into its niche among tho
profoundest mysteries of tho sen. Camo
ine oay, mereioro, when tho secretary
or me navy wroto down against her
name the ugly sentence: "Lost w.th
an on ooard."
Maritime courts Issued tho decrees;
II. parceled estates, great npd

cash for the lives that wpro lost, and
went blandly about their business ; more
"an one widow reconsidered her

Pr from the face of the wnterc In thesu

iming so much as a trace behind was
"ic?nceivat)le. At first there were laloj
of the dastardly U-boats ; then came tho

Mott, the first ofTloer, reported to Cap

"Oerman?" inquired Cnptaln Trigger

"No. sir At least, he doesn't look It,

"That's what a great many Germans
are claiming these dnys, Mr. mott. wo
can't take any chnncoa, you know.
Where was he found?"
Mr. Mott clenred his throat "Ahem!
He wasn't what you might call found,
sir. As a matter nf fact ho applied In
person to thu chief engineer nbout half

snld he was perfectly willing to work
nut h's pawage home. Mr. Qrny had

whi't he line to say first hand."
"Very well, sir" Mr. Mott started
away, hesitated, rubbed his chin dubi
ously, and then camo back, "He's having
a bit of breakfast sir, and has asked for
the loan of Mr. Codge's razors"
"What'" roared thn captain.
"I Informed him ho would have to
appear before you nt once, sir, and ho
enld he hob quite willing to dq no but
would It be pis-lble for him to tidy up
a bit beforehand? I nm obliged to con
fess, sir, that I have never encountered
a more interesting stowaway In all my
career, which leads me to confess still
further that I gave urdrs to feed him
he hadn't had a mouthful to eat since
wo left port owing to the fact, ho says,
that his luggage shifted tho first day

cate It vlthnut a match, or something

Mr. fodgo agreed to let him take ono
