She was ene of the clerks employed In checking out the cargo and ether materials (tolled by the committee of ten, as the lenders In thlc strfgulnr rnterprlse were called. Captain Trigger having- protected against the dismantling; of the vessel and the con fiscation of Its cargo which was as far as he could go announced that he would abide by any aatlr factory plan te salvage the property. He required an official, documentary report, hewevr. In which every Item removed was account ed for, with Its condition and value set down and sworn te by responsible per sons. The purser, Mr. Cedge, and First Officer Mett rcpresent'd ,the captain In this operation, while the censlgntcs were properly taken- care of by Michael O'Mallty Malene, the lawyer: James K. Jenes, (he promoter, and Moses Bleck, the rubber Importer. It Is unnecessary te deal further with tills feature of the situation. Suffice It te say, the , trans trans ecteon If It may be se denoted was managed with the utmost regularity and formality. Elderly men and women were chosen for the clerical work which this rather laborious undertaking entailed. nn tlie crett of th loftiest hill there as established a permanent observation and signal station. Near the top a seit of co i Inntlen dugout and snanfv wni constructed Dy eraer 01 v.upmm "isi til day and night, week In and weeic ifJ, watches were kept similar te these maintained en beard ship. While the entire company, high and low, worked with a seal that eventually rnulted In a state of geed-natured though Intense rivalry. In skill and ac complishment while they were gener ally cheerful and courageous there web a profound Inck of gaiety. In the eyes of each and every one of them lay the r,er-anlehlng shadow of anxiety nti eternal unspoken question The hardest. fiercest faces were a wistful expressien: the broadest smlle revealed a touch of sadness Over all, however, the surpass ing spirit of kindness and generosity presided. Calamity had EOftcned tne ncaris m the same crucible, that hardened the hands. The nrrognnce of the strong mellowed into consideration for the taki wisdom and culture wnt mind in hand with Ignorance and brawn ; malice and rancor left the hearts of the lowly and met hnlfwsv the di-mirtlng Inso Inse lerc of the lefty! fellowship took root wid throve in a field ilch with geed tuts. The heart of man was master ke, the brain Its.humble eervnnt Landever1 worked hard, doggedly. Te til e 'twnrd nppearances h hnd re slimed himself.. te the inevitable.. He affected a Bttlrt of camaraderie and Eced humor that deceived many. Down i his heart, however, he wae bitterly rebellious. He despised these pcople as aclait' In his estimation, all creatures he worked for a living were branded with the obnoxious Iren of secialism: re ten went se far as te belle, e that tley were, after a fashion, anarchists I His coneeptlon et anarchy was rather far-reaching; It took in oerythlng that was centrai y te hid notion of a satlsfac ttry distribution of wealth. He believed that every man who worked for a wage itas at heart rn enemy te law and order He regarded the wage-earner as en whose hand Is eternally against the employer, absolutely without honor, Jus tlce or reason. The werklngman was for self, always self and. te Landever that war anarchy, The thought that people men and women of the lower classes possessed physical and mental qualities similar te these possessed by himself, even In a modified form, was net only repugnant te him but Incredible. They had nenu of the IVner emotions such as love, for Inst ' Me reuld net conceive of n laboring man loving his wife and chil dren; it wasn't natural! He pictured the home-life of the lower classes as nothing sheit of Indecent! there couldn't be anything fine or noble or enduring In the processes of birth, existence and Ceath as related te them. Nature took its course with them, and society as represented by the clasB te which he belonged provided for the Utters they cast upon the world. In a word, Abel Landever's father and grandfather and neat-grandfather had been rich men be- xere mm. He despised Captain Trigger for the simple reason that that faithful, gallant sailor was an empleye of the company in which he was a director. . It meant nothing te him that Captain Trigger time of fine, hardy, valiant stoek: It meant less te him that he was a law unto himself aboard the Domine. Ter. when all wnn said and done. CftD- tnln Trigger worked ler Just se much money per month and doubtless luted the men who paid him his wage. On baanl the lernlne as wns the case ll all ether vtrels en which lie clio.se te "all the banker eat nt the captain's tnhle. But he did net consider that te de a distinction or an honor; it was hlx due.
