little platform at the foot of the side steps
an officer in long cloak was standing, with
a bright, bullseye lantern. The light daz-

The man who had scrambled into our boat
drew us close to the platform and held US
in that position.

to the JOY, where they might have the

ployed in the affair Nevertheless every
sense was on the alert to catch sign OF
movement in the still darkness that sur
rounded us.
The lantern bobhed up and down as the
boatnam scrambled from boat to boat until
he reached his wherry and pulled into the
shore, We got into the boat aud seated
ourselves in the stern The Waterman set
the lantern at our feet and pushed Off,

Nevertheless before we had gone couple
of yards we ran into something-what it
was could not be discovered, for by the time
Peter Mech had lifted up the lantern
nothing could be seen either ahead or along
side of us.
II lay it's them dangnation furriners

Englishman. he'd "a swore at US like a

He replaced the lantern and took the oars
again. For some time he rowed in silence.
then, after pause, he growled out some
particularly strong words in an updertone
and pulled with one oar only. The mutter
ing ceased, and he laid himself to both oars
with redoubled vigor Presently he paused
again, and with another outburst-of forcible
expressions tugged at one oar viciously.
After third repetition of this singular be
havior he said in reply to Gordon's question:

He caught up the lantern, and casting its
Hcat into be fort part of the boat he add
ed. with running accompaniment of eX
pletiycs:
"If didn't think sol It's them under
handed furriaeys plcyin this trick on us,
They're got line on us, a-towin us down"
Setting down the lantern, he scrambled
forward to disengage the grapnel by which
we were being towed, but before he had
time to accomplish this the boat in front
backed. struck our bow and ground down
aloncsid. uS The feeble glimmer of the
lantern was sufficient to reveal some dusky
object bearing down upon us, hand laid
on the side Of our boat and another
stretcit d our to seize the lantern, the figure
of the wa.ers IN kneelng on the thwart,
and his face turned in evaporation toward
the offensive "furriner." Then an oar
swept down and struck him on the head, a
man from the other boat truudled over the
side into odls. the lantern was snatched out
and dropped into The water, and wswere
left in utter darkness
The Waterman had fallen over with o

In the bottom Of the boat. All we heard

for an explanation, but he got no answer,

concluded that this signal was made from
the Shore aud faintspeck in the darkness
led me to think that we were nearing Fer
ryboat stairs. But as we approached it the
light took Il reddish glare, not to be mis-
taken for the light of gas lamp. The
whistle was blown again and replied to as
before, only this time it sounded quite
near, and at the same time white light
began to descend from the level of the red.
"This is the oddest thing in the world"
said Gordon in n tone Of perpleXity. THAT
must be ships light in front of us, and
the lantern is evidently coming down the
side"
Then understood the position Of affairs
Gordon was to be taken on board the Rus
sian vessel and not to the Mariners Joy, AS
Kavanagh had intended.
In a few minutes we were drawn along

Rudersdorf started up and said with saw

"The consequence Of refusal you know.

and all the rest. You expose yourself
even to torture. You may share the tate OF
Vera Ofromoff and a dozen Others"
The secretary went to the door and called
reluctantly, thought

tinued Rudersdorf in a tone OF self Justif-
cation. "Those orders are explicit, and We
must obey. We have taken proper precau-
tions, and if we are cheated the fault viii
lie with the minister for trusting kava-
nagh."
The same men who had taken Gordon
away came to the door.
"You have secured the prisonerS" asked
Rudersdorf
One of the men laid key ON the table as
he responded in the affirmative.
Take this lady down to Sophia Otchkin.
They will share the same cabin. Lock them
in and bring me the key. Keep the door

closely. Report any movement OF sus-
picious kind to me immediately"

waiting a moment for some sound to break
the silence THE governor told me should

"You are sure this is the place?" Gordon
asked
"Certain. There's the old boat" nodding
at an upturned boat hard by on the fore
shore, "and there's the beershop." nodding
to a glimmer of light across the waste space
opposite the wall "He must be down by
the water Wait here half IL minute. sir"
With these words he ran off along the
foreshore, and in a minute was lost to sight
in the fog
"Kavanagh must have crossed the river"
said Gordon. "and the person he promised
to station here TO meet MS has evidently

He hurried across the open space, and |
saw his figure against the light as he en-
tered the house by a swing door
There was moment of intense silence
and then heard long, distinct whistle in
the direction taken by the driver
Ny eyes were fixed upon the beershop
The thickness Of the night and the distance
prevented my making it out clearly. but it
seemed to me that there were two doors to
it-one on each side of the front, with its
two spears Of gas-and this was presently
proved to be the case by Il man slipping out
on the other side to that entered by Gordon
Another and another followed, all with
swift stealth Outside they stood together
for "A moment, looking gigantic in the fog

the shore, they started off at n run toward

must be IN the carriage, they kept as far
from it as possible. Nevertheless | saw
the three phantom figures file past and
disappear into the darker distance.
A few minutes elapsed, and Gordon came
quickly from the beershop, followed by a
man who carried lantern.
"l've found a man TO take us over. He
