He had no suspicion that the mate
was at that moment gluing his eye to
a crack in the bullShead and vainiy try
ng TO get glimpse Of the paper OF
which he had heard the dying man
speak the night before. In his villain
Gus heart, he had sworn that Tom Scott
should never grasp the golden treasure,
but how to prevent him was the ques-
ton. Clearly he must obtain possession
OF the precious paper, but how was this
TO be done?
His peephole was too small TO enable
him to tell where Tom kept 1t, but as he
heard the lid of the chest closed he
drew long breath and muttered:
Its in his donkey! I'll find way to
have peep inside of IL before we get 10
Frisco. 1t would never do to trouble il
now. He'd suspect me the first thing of
he missed il. / must rig some kind OF
a derrick on him. that's surel"
For the next few days he cudgeled
his brains for some safe means of at
tanning his ends, but without success.
Then chance did what he had failed
to do.
Land ho!" was the welcome cry
from aloft one morning just after sun
rise, while the captain and second mate
were asleep, the mate was stumping
the deck and Tom, who had turned
out earlier than usual, was standing on
the topgallant forecastle watching a
school of fish play about the bows. lie

SHOWS my time" said the mate, un-
der his breath, as Tom went over the
foretop and began TO swarm up the
topmast rigging. He'll go clean up TO
the man on the gallant yard before he
sees it,"
The next moment he had stolen soft
ly down the cabin stairs, entered Toms
room and tried the lid Of the chest.
To his surprise II was not locked, and
there on top, half hidden by the sleeve
of an old coat, lay John Avery's belt be-
fore him. His fingers trembled as with
feverish haste he pulled il open, and
then a furious oath came through his
bristling beard.
The belt was empty
A rapid search convinced him that
the object he sought was not in the
chest, and hastily rearranging the arti-
cles as he had found them he closed
the lid and stepped out of the room tc
meet Capt. Coffin face to face in the
narrow passage.

CHAPTER H.-CoNTrNUED,


And now the roar of the storm could
be heard as the line OF foam swept on
over the darkened sea with frightful
velocity. Louder and louder came the
noise, and the surface of the water be-
hind the advancing line was like vast
force of the wind.
Nearer and nearer came the CHASTITY
line, while every man stood at his post
In silence. Suddenly the captain
roared:
Hard up your wheel! Hard up!"
The two men who grasped the spokes
had barely time TO obey the order when,
with shrek of wind and a rush OF boil
ing water, the white line struck the
bark and pressed her over until the
yards touched the surface to leeward.
The storm staysail and maintopsail
were rent TO ribbons, but the head sail
held, and, as the stanch bark slowly
righted, this caused her TO pay slowly
eff, and she gathered Roadway at the
same time. Slowly at first and then
with increasing speed she bounded
along before the hurricane.
And now the sea began TO rise in all
It's majesty. The masses of water
swept in wild waves before the hur-
ricane, their crests blowing off into
spray as they met the full force of the
wind. After several efforts the crew
succeeded in loosing few inches Of
the foretopsail, and for awhile this held
ctr NftfT
than usual and the sail was torn bod
lily from the bolt-ropes, disappearing
in the gloom like some huge white
bird.
There was nothing 10 be done but
run before the gale, and, after send
ing the mate and half the crew below,
the captain advised Tom and Avery TO
retire, which they did, somewhat re-
assured by the collected bearing Of the
skipper, who seemed 10 take it all as
a matter Of course, especially as the
wind was sending his vessel just where
he wished TO 60.
In this manner three days and nights
passed, until il seemed to Tom that the
world was made up of wind, waves and
darkness.
On the fourth morning the wind be-
gan 10 abate and the sun appeared, en-
abling the captain 10 ascertain his po-
sition. He found that the Seabird had
made IL knots an hour during the en-
tire period since the storm struck her.
which caused his satisfaction 10 show
itself In his round face Enthusiastically.
Sail was now made, and ten days later
the Seabird was sailing proudly on the
bosom of the Pacific, having rounded
Cape Horn with the greatest slant Of
wind" the old skipper had ever expert
enced. The vessels head was pointed
10 the north, and Tom began to com

to reach San Francisco

One of the principal riders of the

young man recently figured in a little

CHAPTER III.
81 GIVE MY SHARE no YOU"

Good luck and fair winds followed
our adventurers until they reached the
stormy Gulf Of California, where an nc
cident occurred which greatly affected
Toms future plans.
1t was an hour before sunset and the
two passengers were leaning over the
stern watching the water fly swiftly
under the counter, when loud shout
from aloft attracted their attention.
Looking quickly up they had barely
time to spring aside when a heavy block
struck the deck beside them with ter
rife force. A rope attached TO IL hit
Toms companion across the chest,
sending him backwards. His heels met
the wheel ropes and the next instant he
struck the water astern and disap-
peared from Toms sight.
II had all happened so quickly that he
hardly realized what had occurred until
Ae sailor aloft shouted:
"Man overboard Man overboardi"
With the promptitude OF n sailor the
man at the wheel sprang TO the rail and
cut admit the life preseryer, which was
always ready for use, and at the same
time the captain rushed on deck and
ordered the ship hove TO.
Then Tom tore of his coat and shoes
and leaped over the rail before the cap
tain could detain him.
Like most Cape Cod boys. he had
learned 10 swim at an early age, and a
pond In Merrivale had enabled him to
indulge in the exercise in late years. so
that when he came to the surface he
felt no anxiety for himself, although

Tom watched him bustling about the
deck and congratulated himself that in
short time he would see the last OF
the red-faced sailor who had brought
the only faint OF disgrace into his life.
Early that evening the Seabird was
anchored in the magnificent harbor of
San Francisco, and the long voyage was
over.

He made no mention of the singula

miner, but frankly told the captain o
the money he had received from tn
same source, and the latter prompt
gave him some good advice.
