again, and, in fact, did not think Of him in

attention. Suddenly somebody cried to
him that the Captain had tried to shoot the
man at the wheel. The first mate hurried
on deck, where a sailor told him that the
Captain had snapped off the revolver,
whereupon the man at the wheel ran away.
Going for the wheel Mr.. Wiggess could sse
