AS the German officer stammered
out these last words, a young girl en-
tered the room hurriedly, like child

short, blushing and dismayed by this
unexpected presence. Comte Mont

that slight, imperturba BILE smile.

several days later, and again the grum-
bling in the forecastle could be heard
when the watch below had turned in
and gathered about the dimly lighted
mess table.
The morning Of Dec. came with q
whirl of sleet and squalls in quick puffs
from the northwest. 1t was the fore
runner Of an awful gale, which COM
menced early in the morning Of that
date and lasted until the vessel drift

No one could remain on deck during
the day and night of the 9TH, for the
seas ran 80 high and furiously that the
decks were constantly filled with water
to the rails, the galley drenched and
even the cabin flooded.

and under the increased strain aloft

the wind almost dead astern. But soon
the breeze shifted. 1t came in sharp,
jerky puffs from all points Of the COM
pass, flinging the yards around and
tanning the fOreyard in Il mess Of gear
which had tangled up in the forerig-

On either beam. a distance Of half g.

strange freak of nature, bowled along
at a seventy-knot rate, tearing the
ocean into a mass of white. choppy seas,

the ship, with only an occasional breath
Of wind which could be caught in the

A succession Of heavy surges followed
the blow, every inch Of their onward
march contested bitterly by a cross
fire OF angry waves that had followed
in the wake Of the north wind.
The voice Of the captain was drowned
by the singing Of the rigging and the
chatter Of blocks and the sharp intona

warning drifted aft and was repeated
