witness the coming of. the racers on
that day secured evidence against fully
two hundred "sooners," and steps have
already been taken legally to prevent
them securing title to the lots which
they obtained in an unlawful manner.
Still there are hundreds if not thousands
of legal claimants upon whose lots from

shouted to the men in her.
Meanwhile the two pilots left alone
in the Holland were in an ecstasy of
rage at their own hopelessness. They
could do nothing until the second boat
returned. and though barely half an
hour had elapsed since the skiff had left

childish impatience. He was too strong

the long rows Of sand dunes below the
cape and the great white beacon blazing
high above them. Strangely enough. no

were all of the crew left ON board. seemed
to forget their suffering fellow country

Up and down, each time farther to

could look up. The girl was staring at
