CHAPTER X.
PREPARATIONS.
A new life was about to dawn for
Mrs. John Allaire. While there was
absolute certainty as regards the death
of her child, this was not so in the case
of her husband. Might not John and
his companions have survived the wreck
of their ship and have taken refuge on
one of the numerous islands of the
Philippine, the Celebes or the Java
seas? Could it not be possible that they
had been restrained of their liberty by
ome native tribe and were without any
means of escape? This was the hope to
which Mrs. Allaire was henceforth to
cling with a tenacity so extraordinary
as to bring about in San Diego and else
where a change of opinion as regards
the Dreadnaught
There were frequent consultations at
Prospect cottage, which, rich as she
now was, Molly had not been willing
to leave. Capt. John had left her there
on sailing away—he should find her
there on his return. She resolved to
make not the least change in her mode
of life until her husband was once more
back in San Diego. She was determined
that the same simplicity should charac
terize her style of living: that she would
spend nothing additional except as
called for by her expeditions and her
charities.
The important task to which Hollis
ter and Capt. Willis first turned their
attention when in consultation with
Mrs. Allaire was to fix upon the course
which had been followed by the Dread
naught. It was necessary to establish
this with the greatest exactitude possi
ble. The house of Hollister & Co. had
shipped goods by this vessel to the
Indies with instructions to touch at
Singapore, for which port she also car
ried a consignment of merchandise.
Now after getting away from the Amer
ican coast the probabilities were that
Capi. John had passed in the neighbor
hood of the Hawaiin archipelago or
Sandwich islands. After leaving the
Anson archipelago the Dreadnaught
had no doubt taken the direction of tho
Mariana and the Philippine islands,
thence through Celebes sea and Macas
sar strait to the Java sea, which is
bounded on the south by the Sunda
islands, in order to reach Singapore.
The strait of Molucca, which is formed
by the Malay peninsula and the island
of Sumatra, opens on the west into the
bay of Bengal, in which, outside of the
Andaman and Nicobar islands, there
was no place where the .Trecked crew
could have found refuge. Beyond all
doubt, John Allaire had not reached
the bay of Bengal, for inasmuch as he
had not touched at Singapore, and this
was now known to be the case, it must
be that he had been unable to get l>e
yond the limits of the Java sea and
the Sunda islands.
As for supposing that the Dread
naught instead of following tho May
lasian route had attempted to reach
Calcutta by threading her way through
the difficult passes of Torres strait
along the north coast of the Australian
continent, no good seaman would have
dreamed of such a thing. Capt. Willis
Insisted that Capt. John would never
have taken such a rash and uncalled for
step as to expose his ship to the dan
gers of this route. The idea was not to
be indulged for a moment, and it was
resolved to confine the search solely to
the route already marked out as the one
most likely followed by Allaire.
The fact is that the Caroline, Celobes
and Java seas are filled with thousands
of islands of all size 3, and there it was
that the crew of the Dreadnaught, if
they had survived the wreck of their
vessel, might be living on some desert
isle or be held in bondage by some
tribe. Having agreed upon these points,
It was resolved to send an expedition to
the Malaysian seas. Mrs. Allaire then
made a proposition which to her mind
was of greatest importance. She asked
Capt. Willis if he were inclined to take
command of the expedition.
As the Flying Cloud had been laid up
by Hollister & Co., Willis was on the
waiting list, and therefore, although
taken unawares by this proposition of
Mrs. Allaire, ho didn't hesitate to
place himself at her disposal, condi
tioned upon the consent of Mr. Hollis
ter, who gladly accorded It, and
thanked Willis for accepting.
"I'm only doing my duty," replied
Willis, "and everything in my power to
find the survivors of the Dreadnaught
shall be done. If Capt. John is alive—"
"John is alive!" exclaimed Mrs. Al
laire, in a tone positive enough to si
lence the most incredulous.
Capt. Willis now began the discussion
of several points calling for settlement.
To ship a crew worthy of this expedi
tion would not be a difficult matter.
But there was the question of a vessel.
Of course for such an expedition as this
the Flying Cloud was in no wise suited.
It was not a sailing vessel which a wise
navigator would choose in order to un
dertake such a task, but a steamer.
At tha* moment there were lying in
the bay of San Diego several steamers
suitable for such an enterprise. Mrs.
Allaire commissioned Capt. Willis to ac
quire title to the swiftest one of the
lot and placed the necessary funds at
his disposal. A few days sufficed for
this transaction. Mrs. John Allaire be
came the owner of the Davitt, the name
«f which was at once changed to the
Molly's liope, a most appropriate name
under the circumstances and one of
good augury.
It was a screw steamer of nine hun
dred tons burden and constructed with
very commodious coal bunkers, which
would enable her to run long distances
without recoaling. Rigged like a three
masted brig and carrying a largo spread
of canvas, her twelve-hundred-horse
power engines would easily enable her
to attain a speed of fifteen knots an
hour. Under these conditions of speed
and tonnage the Molly's llope, which
was a (food sailer and easily handled,
answered all the requirements of a pas
sage through confined seas, filled with
islands, islets and reefs.
It need hardly be said that Mrs.
Allaire did not remain inactive while
these preparations were making. She
cooperated with Capt. Willis in work
ing out every detail, using her fortune
with a free hand, not being willing to
neglect the smallest matter which
might contribute to the success of the
expedition.
By July 17 the Molly's Hope was ready
to put to sea. Mrs. Allaire went on
board in the morning in order to exact
a last promise from Capt. Willis to do
everything in his power to discover
traces of the lost ship. She had no
doubt in her own mind that he would
succeed. They would bring John, they
would bring his crew back with them.
In a tone of such profound conviction
did she repeat these words that the
crew broke out in applause. Every man
on board was infected with her deep
faith, as were the friends and relative*
who had come to bco the Molly's ilop«
RTTTLTCR, PA., FRIDAY. NOVEMBER 11. 1
Turning to Mr*. Allaire and Andrew
Hollister, who stood by her side, Capt.
Willis cried out:
J "In your presence, madam, and in
yours, Mr. Hollister, in the naffe of my
• officers and my crew, I make solemn
oath not to be discouraged by any dan
ger or any fatigue in my search for
Capt. John and the men of the Dread
naught. This vessel which you, madam,
have fitted out, bears the name of Mol
ly's Hope. I shall take care that she
deserves it."
"With the aid of God and of the de
votion of those who put their faith in
Him!" exclaimed Mrs. Allaire.
"Hurrah! Hurrah! for John and Mol
ly Allaire!"
These cheers were taken up and re
peated by the vast assemblage gathered
on the wharf.
The lines were now cast off and the
Molly's Hope, under the pressure of the
first revolutions of her screw, moved off
away from her moorings and headed for
the narrows. She soon left the cape on
the southwest and steaming boldly out
to sea disappeared from the gaze of the
thousands who had collected to wish
her Godspeed!
CHAPTER XL
THE FIRST ATTEMPT TO rtND CAPT. JOBS.
After a run of twenty-two hundred
miles, the Molly's Hope came in sight of
Mount Kea towering fifteen hundred
feet above the islands of Hawaii, which
is the most southerly of the Sandwich
islands. In addition to five large
islands and three small ones, this
group contains a number of islets
upon which there was no need of
searching for traces of the Dread
naught It is quite evident that this
shipwreck would have been known
long ago if it had taken place on any
one of the numerous reefs of this archi
pelago, not even excepting those of
MedoManon which are only inhabited
by countless numbers of sea fowls.
The Sandwich islands are in reality
THE STAUKCH STEAMEII MOLLY'S norE
SIGHTED THE MARATOUBAS ISLANDS.
quite densely populated, Hawaii alone
having a hundred thousand inhabitants,
and had the Dreadnaught be" i wrecked
on these coasts the news of the disaster
would most surely hava been sent to
Washington by the American commer
cial agents resident on the islands.
Anyway, four years before this,
when Capt. Willis spoke the Dread
naught, the two ships met to the west
ward of the Sandwich group. Molly's
Hope now continued her course to the
southwest across this wonderful ocean
which well merits its name during the
several months of the warm season.
Six days later the fast steamer had
crossed that imaginary line running
north and south by which geographers
separate Polynesia and Micronesia.
Capt. Willis had no reason to search
this western portion of the Polynesian
waters, but beyond them, the Micro
nesian seas swarmed with islands, islets
and reefs which it now became the
perilous duty of the Molly's Hope to
search for traces of a wreck.
On August 22 they touched at Odia,
the largest of the Marshall group, vis
ited by Kotzebue and the Itussians in
1817. This group is spread out over a
space thirty miles east and west by
thirteen miles north and south and
doesn't contain fewer than sixty-five
islets or attolons. Although the Mol
ly's Hope might have taken on a supply
of fresh water in a few hours from this
island, yet she prolonged her stay for
five days.
Lowering his steam launch Capt.
Willis was able to convince himself that
no ship had been lost on these reefs
during the four years just past. They
noticed some drift wood along the
shore of the Mulgrave islands, but it
was only the trunks of fir trees, palms
and bamboos used by the natives in
building their pirogues, and had no
doubt been caught in the ocean cur
rents. Willis learned from tho chief of
Odia island that since 1872 there had
only been a report of one wreck on the
eastern attoolns and that was an Eng
lishbrig, the crew of which had later
been taken off.
Once outside of the Marshall archi
pelago the Molly's Hope turned her
head towards the Caroline islands. On
his way, by means of his steam launch,
Willis made the circuit of Ualan island
but without any results. On Septem
ber 3 he entered that vast archipelago
known as the Caroline islands, taking
for tho headquarters of his operations
tho island of Yap which is one of the
five hundred islands making up the Car
oline group. From this point the cap
tain pushed his investigations in all
directions.
The devotion of his men was beyond
praise. Not a murmur was heard on
account of the dangers and fatigues
connected with the task of exploring
these countless reefs and passing
through these narrow channels, the
bottoms of which bristled with coral
laceous growths. Besides, the pleasant
season was now over, and there were
already reminders of those terrible
gales which send so many ships to the
bottom. Every day the ship's boats
searched for creeks and coves Into
which tho currents might have cast
soma bit of the wreck. In all these ex
sursions the men were well armed, for
it was far different work from the
search for Sir John Franklin which
took place on the uninhabited shores of
tho Arctic regions. Most of these islands
were inhabited, and Capt. Willis in
variably made strenuous efforts to es
tablish friendly relations with the na
tives, but, in spite of his overtures, he
lometimes met with hostile demonstra-
Hons, in which several of his men were
wounded.
It was from this point that Capt.
Willis made his first report to Mrs.
Allaire, but as all his labors had pro
duced no results it was resolved to con
tinue the search further west.
On the second day of December the
Molly's Hope reached the Philippines,
seven hundred miles to the westward
of the Caroline group. Those islands
were discovered by Magellan In 1521
and are the most important of the
Malaysian archipelago. Capt. Willis
did not touch at any point on the coast
of Luzon island, llow could it be pos
sible that the Dreodnaught ever got so
far north in the China sea when she
was sailing for Singapore? For this
reason Willis preferred to make the
island of Mindanao the center of his
operations, which island, lying in the
southern part of the archipelago, must
necessarily have been passed by Capt.
Jqha In order to rpqeh thy J&yajetK _
Molly's steamer was now anchored in
the port of Zamboanga, the residence
of the governor, to whom and to whose
subordinates Capt. Willis first applied
for information of any vessel wrecked
on the coast of Mindanao, but so far as
the Spanish authorities were concerned
they reported that no such disaster had
tal&>n place within five years.
Bui these reports did not cover the
independent portions of the island in
habited by savages against whom the
charge of cannibalism had been sub
stantiated and who would naturally
make every effort to conceal the facts
1 of any such disaster on their coast.
Many of these Malays follow the avoca
tion of corsairs, and are ready to pursue
any luckless merchantman driven into
i their waters to escape the galea. Whom
they capture they destroy, and whether
sucu baa been the terrible fate of Capt.
John and his companions was some
: thing which would never come to the
! ear of the governor. Capt Willis didn't
j hesitate to penetrate into these won
j derful forests of tamarind, bamboo,
| mangrove, ebony, mahogany and iron
j wood in order to reach the interior vil
i lages in the hope of finding some bit or
; shred of proof that the Dreadnaught
| had gone to pieces on these reefs or
I that some one or more of her crew had
I fallen into the hands of these islanders.
The exploration of the Philippine
archipelago lasted two months and a
half, after which Willis made a search
through tL«! Bassilan group to the
south of Zamboanga, and then sailed
for the Sool'X) archipelago, which he
reached Febrj\ry 25, 1880.
This is a veritable nest of pirates, and
the jungles of the many islands lying
between Mindanao and Borneo are alive
with savages. But one port is ever fre
quented bv vessels crossing the China
sea and Malaysian basins, and that is the
port of Bevoan. Here the Molly's Hope
cast anchor. Willis scattered presents
with a lavish hand among the inhab
itants of these Islands, but nothing that
was brought to light served in the
slightest to clear up the mystery of the
Dreadnaught. Although the steamer
had coaled at Mindanao, yet at the end
of this cruise her bunkers were pretty
well emptied. However, there was ap
parently enough left to enable her to
cross the Celebes sea and make the port
of Banjermassin in the southern part
of Borneo.
In spite of the fact that the Celebes
sea is shut in like a lake, it is visited by
terrible wind storms, and in the night
of February 23 to 29 a gale of great im
petuosity overtook the steamer, rolling
up a violent sea and emptying hundreds
of tons of water upon her deck and
flooding her hold, but her compart
ments resisted the strain and kept the
water from reaching her engine rooms,
a piece of great good fortune, for her
fires once extinguished and screw ren
dered useless she would have been pow
erless to make head against the gale.
Neither captain or crew lost their
self-possession for a moment during the
long hours of this terrible night. On
the morning of March 2 the staunch
steamer, Molly's Hope, sighted the Mar
atoubas islands off the coast of Borneo.
A fortnight was devoted to ransack
ing these waters for some proof that
the Dreadnaught had perished in just
such a gale as had overtaken the steam
er; but although rich presents were dis
tributed among the chiefs nothing was
forthcoming.
"It is very possible," said Capt. Willis
to his mate one day, "that the destruc
tion of the Dreadnaught was due to a
sudden attack of a number of piratical
craft, and this would account for our
not having been able to discover any
trace of her. These pirates make no
beast of their exploits, and when a ves
sel disappears they have but to lay it to
the fury of the gale."
"You are right, captain," replied the
mate. "These waters swarm with
pirates, and we must redouble our vig
ilance in passing through Macassar
strait."
"Very true," answered Willis, "but
there's no chance of their being able to
overtake us. Not so P sailing vessel.
With irregular and shifting winds a
sailing vessel is more or less at their
mercy. But so long as our engines are
in working order we shall have nothing
to fear. Still we can't be too careful."
For two months, from March 15 to
May 15, Capt. Willis busied himself
making a close search of the eastern
coast of Celebes island. The fantastic
outlines of this island have led some
geographers to compare It to a huge
tarantula, but the very fact of this bent
and twisted coast line makes it a favor
ite refuge for pirates.
Whenever the ship's boats were occu
pied in searching the coves and inlets,
Capt. Willis lay to as near the coast as
possible with steam up, ready at a mo
ment's notice to cover their retreat.
Having once traversed the strait, all
danger was at an end, for the southern
part of Celebes Is under Dutch rule.
Macassar being the capital city, and
here under the guns of Fort Rotterdam
the Molly's Hope came to anchor on
May 17.
If Capt. Willis had thus far discov
ered no trace of John Allaire and his
crew of the Dreadnaught, he was now
destined to get at last some positive in
formation on the subject of the route
which the Dreadnaught had followed.
It was this: On May 3, 1875, that clipper
ship had been signaled ten miles out
from Macassar, heading towards the
Java sea. One thing was now certain:
shc had not perished in tho terrible
waters of Malaysia. It was beyond
Celebes and Borneo, that Is in the Java
sea, that Capt. Willis was called upon
to continue his search, not relaxing
his efforts until Singapore had been
reached.
In a report sent to Mrs. Allaire from
this extreme point of Celebes island. Wil
lis communicated to her this important
piece of information, at tho saino time
promising to keep her posted as to the
results of the search which would now
be confined to the Java sea and the Sun
da islands.
Willi.< had fixed the meridian of Sing
apore as the western limit of tho ex
pedition, and on his way home intended
to explore the western shores of Javu
sea, and mako search among the chap
let of islands which shut it in on
that side, then after passing in umong
the Moluccas regain the Pacific and re
turn to America.
The Molly's Hope left Macassar on
May 28, and .crossing the strait at its
lower end, made the port of Banjer
massin. This is the official residence of
the governor of Borneo. Most scrupu
lous examination was made of the ship
ping records, but no mention of the
Dreadnaught could be found There
was but one explanation. Capt. John
had kept out to sea in crossing this
body of water.
Ten days later Capt Willis cast an
chor in the port of Batavia at tho west
erly end of the island of Java This is
the capital of the Dutch possessions in
Oceanica. The governor general was
not able to give Capt. Willis a glimmer
of light on the possible fate of the
Dreadnaught In the opinion of the
marine authorities at Batavia, tho
American three-master had been over
taken by a tornado which had caught
her with all her sails set and sent her
to the bottom with every soul on board.
In support of this opinion they cited a
number of like cases, in which no tid
ings had come from tho doomed vessels,
and no bit of the wreck hail ever been
cast ashore.
In leaving Batavia the Molly's llope
put the strait of Sunda on her port side
and soon sighted the islands of Kllliton
and llanka. Formerly the approaches
to these islands were infested with pi
rates, who frequently attacked vessels
touching hero for cargoes-of iron and
tin; but the marine police have succced
iiUS Pes? J2.
there was no roaeon to conclude that
the Dreadnaught and her crew had
fallen victims to sea robbers at this
point.
Continuing her course toward the
northwest, the steamer kept up her
search among the islands along the
coast of Sumatra. On June CO the
southerly end of the Malay peninsula
was sighted, and the Molly's Hope short
ly afterwards put in at the port of Sin
gapore.
As the engines called for repairs, Capt
Willis waa obliged to make a stay of
two weeks in this port, which is situat
ed on the southerly side of the small
island of the .same name. This little
island, however, aince the English first
selected it as a naval and commercial
station in 1818, has steadily increased in
importance, a fact due to its admirable
situation on the line of trade between
America and the Indies.
It will be remembered that it was at
this port that the Dreadnaught was to
land a portion of her cargo before pro
ceeding to Calcutta. It will also be
remembered that the American clipper
■hip never entered this port. However,
Capt. Willis profited by his forced so
journ here to investigate the circum
stances of every wreck that had been
reported within late years.
From the very fact that the Dread
naught had been signaled off the port
of Macassar and that she had never
reached Singapore, It became necessary
to assume that she had been wrecked
somewhere between these two points.
True, there was another position to
take, and it was that Capt John had
left the Java sea ana run out into the
Indian ocean through the strait of
Lombok or strait of Sunda. And yet
why should he have done this, in
asmuch as he was bound for Singapore?
Such a supposition hail nothing to sup
port it.
By August 25 the steamer was ready
for sea, and Capt. Willis, by coasting
along the Simoa islands, left no point
unvisited. One after the other he made
thorough search on Madura, Bally,
Lombok and Sumbawa islands. The
Molly's Hope had great difficulty at
times to keep herself from being caught
in the violent currents flowing through
the different straits opening into the
Indian ocean, currents so strong that a
ship is carried along even in the teeth
of the monsoon. It will be readily un
derstood that a sailing vessel would
find It almost impossible to escape fro:n
one of these impetuous swirls to the
southward.
After leaving Flores island Capt.
Willis continued to skirt along the
chain of islands shutting in the Flores
and Banda seas on tho south, but no
tidings of Capt. John and his com
panions, no trace of the beautiful clip
per ship, rewarded their efforts. Nat
urally the crew of the Molly's Hope
felt the depressing effect of this long
and fruitless cruise. But, however, it
was too soon to give up all hope, as the
search was really not yet completed. It
was possible that Capt John, instead
of entering Macassar strait after leav
ing Mindanao, hat! chosen the Molucca
passage and had entered the Java sea
through the Banda and Flores seas.
But the time was running down and
the logbook of the Molly's Hope con
tinued to make no mention of any trace
or tidings of the lost vessel. Neither
at Timor nor among the three groups
which make up tho Molucca archipela
go did Capt. Willis come upon any bit
or shred of information which might
point to the fact that the ill-fated clip
per had been lost in these waters.
When the search steamer had reached
the island of Gllolo the circle was com
plete. Capt. Willis had made the
rounds of tho eastern archipelago, he
had ended the task which had been as
signed him.
Havincr taken on the necessary sup
plies of provisions and coal, the Molly's
Hope on January 0 was headed for
home. Thus ended the year ISBI,
the sixth since the Dreadnaught had
last been heard from. It was not until
January 23 that the steamer was
sighted at the signal station of San
Diego.
The Malaysian campaign had lasted
nineteen months and in spite of the
prodigious efforts of Capt. Willis, sec
onded by the admirable devotion of his
officers and crew, the mystery of the
Dreadnaught remained as dark and
deep as ever.
CHAPTER XII.
BTIT.I. ASOTHEH TEAR.
There had been nothing in the letters
received from time to time by Mrs. Al
laire to give her any encouragement
that the expedition would be crowned
with success, and even the receipt of
the letter announcing the search about
to be made among the Moluccas did not
serve to raise her hopes.
The moment she learned that Capt.
Willis had arrived, she proceeded on
board accompanied by Mr Hollister.
A glance at Willis' face told her that
the concluding portion of the search
among the Moluccas had not been pro
ductive of any results. Having given
a cordial grasp of the hand to the cap
tain, she advanced toward the crew
which stood respectfully awaiting her
appearance on deck.
"I thank you, Capt. Willis," she said,
calmly and buoyantly, "and I thank
you, my friends. Your devotion touches
me. You have done all that I could
expect. You have not been successful
and perhaps you despair of ever being
so; but Ido not. No, I feel confident
that I shall yet see Capt. Allaire and
his companions. My trust is in God.
He will not let it come to naught."*
There was a wonderful tone of as
surance in these words. They bespoke
an extraordinary energy; they expressed
so eloquently the firm conviction of tho
speaker that her husband would yet be
found that their effect was startling;
and yet, while every person present
listened with respect bordering upon
veneration to this rare woman, he could
none the less bring himself to think
that her soul's yearning would ever b«
satisfied.
And yet perhaps her audience would
have done better to throw itself with m
firm reliance upon that instinctive
knowledge with which nature often en
dows woman. While man is unable or
at least unwilling to form deductions un
til he has first subjected facts to actual .
and logical examination, woman,thanks
to her powers of intuition, is often en
abled to make astonishing forecasts of
the future. It is some kindly instinct
which acts as her guide and imparts un
to her prophetic lore. Who could say
that the captain's wife would not some
day be right and &11 the world wrong?
She and Andrew Hollister were now
conducted to the cabin of the Molly's
Hope, where Capt. Willis gave them a
detailed account of the expedition.
CAPT. WILI.IS GAVE TIIUM A DETAILED
ACCOUNT OF THE EXPEDITION.
Maps of Polynesia and Malaysia were
unrolled upon the table and he was thus
enabled to trace out step by step, frx>ia
island to island and port to port, tho
route followed by the steamer.
"Permit me, Mrs. Allaire," said Wil
lis, "to draw your attention to this j
rewl Tho Prtwiaawrht wsa atca ivr 1
the last time off the Motherly end if
Celebes island on Mar 3. 1*75, that is
about seven weeks after leasing San
Diego. Since than we have had no
tidings of her. Therefore, as she
reached Singapore, we are to the
conclusion that she was lost in the Java
sea. How? There are two theories:
The first is that she went down in a
gale or after a collision, leaving no
trace of her existence: the second is
that she went ashore on the rvefs and
was completely destroyed by the pir-vtes
to cover up their crime And vet, a
either of these last two cases it is ia
possible that there shouM not have
been some debris, some S- isut. *• nw
bit of scrap of her cargo to survive her;
but in spite of oar efforts we have cot
been able to find any actual proof of
her destruction."
Hence Capt. Willis inclined to the
opinion that the Dreadnaught had been
struck ami destroyed by oae of those
tornadoes so often let loose in irresist
ible fury upon those waters, for. as re
ganls the theory of collision, it was
very rare that both vessels g<> down—
one survives to tell the storv
Capt. Willis* conclusion was. although
he didn't express it. that all hope must
be abandoned.
So thought Andrew Hollister. too,
He bent his hrtd, he wra!d not bear
the inquiring look which Molly fi<«ed
upon him.
"No! Nof she exclaimed. "the Dread
naught did not go to the bott ra. John
and his men hare not perished:""
And Molly con tinned to question Wil
lis concerning the minutes' details of
the search, encouraging, discussing,
combatting. It was not nntil after a
session of three hours that she rise to
take her leave.
"Shall I proceed to put the Molly's
Ilope out of commission?" asked Willis.
"By no means, captain," was the an
swer. "I hare no intention to discharge
you or your crew. Who can say that
another cruise will be as barren of re
sults as this has been? Will yon retain
command of the steamer?"
"1 would do so willingly, Mrs. AW
laire. but I belong to the Hollister con
cern; possibly they may need my serv
ices."
"Don't let that stand In your way. my
dear Willis," said Mr. Hollister "I am
only too happy to place you nnder Mm
Allaire's orders.™
"Be it so then, Mr. Hollister. My
crew and I will stick to the Molly's
Dope."
"And, Capt. Willis," said Molly, "hold
yourself in readinem to sail at any mo
ment."
