III Halstead' sent one of the quarter
masters below for Mcpherson, andin
" few minutes he appeared in the door
Way. CHANGING along the deck to see
That no one was within hearing, the
seaptain closed, the door and said: !,
Mac, I've known you and,Stevens SO
long that I thought you should be bet
Yer acquainted with each other. We
Stvere talking Of the voyages you and
" have sailed together, and thought
a like to have you join with US in q
little speculation. Whether there will
ne much of anything in it or not we
cant say; in fact, it wouldn't be fair to
raise your anticipations by going into
the particulars. But we are willing to
agree that if the scheme should be
successful we'll do what's right.
glguess you know me prettywell, and'I'll
s|answer for Stevens. Now, are you will
ling to help us With no more of an eN-
Asplanation than that?"

slfaariners DOT in this part o. the warld,

Il That's what l thought you'd say,
MAS. Now, it seems to me necessary
THAT Stevens should get to Guajan as
if soon as he possibly can. He will go
slashore there and start things moving.
whether we will be able to commune

Istdoubtful; but if we don't, you and l
81 have got to put it up for another voy-
a age out here when we see Ramirez. If
a the compania happen toihave the other
4 boat ready, it'll be no fool of job,
4 either. The question just now is, how
iare we going to change our course

Movement? With some ironclad,

McPherson's idea seemed practic;
and plausible. There was no questio
whatever that padre of sufficient
h good standing could smooth owe
about anything he pleased, and, if a
obligation to himself were part {
II the regularity, it seemed very likel
that he would see there were no quel
tions asked. While we were discussin
the matter, couldn't help mention
