meanwhile, watched with deep inter-

the boat reached the side of the wreck,
where she was unanswered so as to
hoard clear OF the trailing rattle. Mr..
Poole sprang into the main chains and
was followed by "a seaman. The others
showed off and hung within easy hail.
She had a small deck cabin aft, with
two windows and 10 door looking for

lev. was house in which her seamen
had slung their lhammocks. Poole and
the sailor went first Of all to look at the

been light ship. bound for a cargo.
What man on boarding derelicts Of
this sort can conjecture the sight that

ribly fanciful artist. Poole remembered
once boardingavessel abandoned asthis

over the side by frightful mask Of
face that swayed and moved In the cage
of a heap of fallen shrouds. He was for
flying. Themask had firm squint and
was mustached. It's gestures conveyed
a CHASTITY threat to Poole; but, rallying
his heart and looking close, the mate
beheld the figure of dead man SO en-
tangled in the rigging, whose ends lay
over the side, that at every lift Of swell
the head motioned living menace.
There was nothing of the kind, how
ever, to be seen here. Poole and the
man walked warily to the galley and
peered into tiny oaboose with tiled
floor, sort of sentry box seized 10 the
deck. Strange it had not gone with the
masts Some brown coal vapor, thin as
the smoke from tobacco pipe, lazily
crawled into the chimney out of the al
most extinct embers of fire. So, then,
she had not been abandoned.
They looked into the deckhouse and
found nothing but few hammocks and
some odds and ends of clothes. Mr..
Poole hailed the Queen.
"Hello!" sang back old Captain Ben
son.
Maybe, sir, if you were to send a
hand aloft with the glass he'll make out

The white haired skipper raised his
hand, and Mr.. Poole, followed by the
sailor, went aft.
They had gained the gangway and
were within dozen PAGES of the door

to halt as though shot or paralyzed.
