(Then, under breath: 'Haud up your
heart Jacd there's precedent for it,
!; Remember Naaman bowed himself in
the house of Rimmen. I" "There is but
one God, and Raloo Singh rose from the
dead to be hi' Prophet"
"Let HIM go-he is one of US! Wah
Gooroop' shouted his desiples.
Hadji Hanna put yellow and black
turban on Patterson's head, and bound
round his waist the mystic knotted cord
This lad too" said Patterson, push

Again the shout of "Wah Gooroo." +"
was raised.
"Sons of the unbelievers, saved by
Heaven from doom of thy race your
lives are given back to you!" exclaimed
the corpselike chief. "Hadj Hanna,
put on this younger convert the turban
and the cord; these converts will help US
with the accursed vessel"
THE gabblin, skate,p muttered Pat
terson; and then he shouted like mad
man the watch wo1d, "IYah GoorOO"'
till he was out of breath.
"Slay below here until we have prov
ed your fidelity" said the chief, rising !;
''you shall wait on ourselves. and help
to steer the vess4l. Kamlee still cries
for victims. "Come, Hadji Hanna-come
my deCiples-come, and let US Perfect
the work"
AS he uttered these words, he left
the cabin, followed by the other fanatics.
Hadji Hanna stayed for a moment be-
hind. "Beware!'' he said with a hand
on he throat of either lad-''any treach-
cry and you die by my hand. You are
now the followers of the great Son of
Heaven, Baloo Singh. l place two
armed men on the cabin door; if yon
move from the door they shoot you both,
and fling you 10 the sharks" As he ut
tered these threats. Aadi Hanna's blood
shot eyes glared on the two Survivors.
The next moment the door closed, Pat
terson leaped up and huggod Jack in his
arms. 'God guide and protect u.s." he
cried, "and forgive me for telling the
blackest and biggest lie man ever utteri
ed! The accurseG seed of Satan, the
ravin' God -forsaken blasphemers, the cut
throa sont of Belial; but I'll be even
with them. Quick, Davis; help me with
this table, that may see out of the sky
| light what they are doing. Eh, man,
Just hear them! They've found one of
our poor fellows up in the rigging, and
they're worrying him as terriers do a
rat"
In moment the ready lad was on the
table, and with his eyes cautiously rails
ed TO the level of the glass. He was
silent for moment, but his hands was
clenched, and the prespir 'tiOn dripped
from hl$ brow. There was sound of
heavy body dragged over the deck, then
sound of shattered glass.
ooh, what's it, dear Sandy! Do tell
me. Oh, what dreadful things are they
doing!' said Jack.
Patterson replied in low voice, and
with face glued to the glass; ut Is the
stewart, Jack. They've tied him to the
mast, and they're peIting him with cham
payne bottles. He is streaming with
blood and his hands are Clasped. Hear
the cries Now one of them steps up
with drawn knife-O merciful FaIh.
'er! l dare not look again"
As he uttered his exclamation, Pat
terson leaped down from the table, and
set himself on a chair, and his his face
with his hands. "Jack," said he, at last
looking up, "as live by breads it would
be doing a duty to set fire to the vessel,
and burn these wretches. 1t had been
better for US to have cursed their prophet,
and died holy martyrs like Mr.. Jobsen."
mo, no, dear Sandy" said Jack cud-
ding himself near him. "Think of Da-
vid. God has not saved US without a
good purpose. There's many lowering
morning, you used to say, that brings on
fine day."
"Ye're right, ye're right, BARN"
said Patterson. "Come and kneel down
and pray the Lord Jebovah--who put
to flight the armies of Assyrians, whose
set the stars to fight in their courses
against Sisera, who made the Red Sea
like birdlime for those awful rascals,
the Egyptians-to give our hand strength
and our brains wisdom to beguile these
children of Belial."
The cruel massacre had been but toe
complete. Two sailors only were left,
and they stood by the wheel, with six
armed men with drawn sabres to guard
them. The firemen below were to man.
