CHAPTER XVI.

''Let us hope that the inevitable is not
yet for us, Miss Muir" said Mr.. Guy,
bowling to her. II am certain that the
Scarborough cannot sink Immediately.
Her hold is constructed in separate COM
partments, and, even though the bows be
blown off Of her, she can float for some
hours. Let those madnen have the boats;
there will still be time for us to construct
a raft"
For the moment Miss Muir and Dun
more were left alone. Mrs. Gimp was
motionless in her chair, with her head
bowed forward, as though paralyzed with
fear.
"Have you tried to arouse her!' said
Dunmore, pointing to Mrs. Gimp.
ooh, Mr.. Dunmore, she is dead!' ex-
claimed Miss Muir.
"Yes," said Dunmore, hastily testing
the pulse of the motionless figure, and
then drawing the young woman to one
side. 1.-THE shock must have fatally ac-
tolerated the action of the heart. Heaven

Without another word, he gathered his

she replied.
Eastwood, Mackenzie and the second
officer came toward them.
"They are building life-raft,' said Mr..
Guy. "The engineer has got together a
few of the crew who have remained
faithful, and is confident of being able
to construct and provision a raft before
the ship goes down. Han'
A cry from the sea caused them all to
hasten to the starboard bulwarks, whence
they were just in time to witness an adj
ditional catastrophe. The cowardly sail
ors had succeeded in launching two boats,
and now these were seen filing with
water and going to pieces a few rods
away. Cries of distress came from the
scene, and the moonhghted sea was pres
emily dotted darkly with the heads Of
swimmers, endeavoring to make their
way back to the sinking ship.

first bell-tOne dieu away before the ex-
plosion of the dynamite followed. Or,
rather, there must have occurred series
of three or four explosions. The first
was terrific one, filling the hold with
lurid lights, bursting like confined thun-
derclip, and hurting the blackened and
mutilated bodies of the groom, the pur-
ser and one other man up through the
hatchway as though seyerally shot out Of
a gun.
Then followed two conclusions, and
these were instantly succeeded by deep,
roaring, rending sound, as though the
bottom of the sea were being torn up; the
ship cracked and shivered to her utter
most bolt and rivet; the captain and first
officer were stricken dead at their posts;
the air was filed with rushing smoke
and fame and flying fragments; and all
was death, ruin and despair!
The ship almost instantly began to set
tie at the bows, and only a small portion
of her upper works, directly aft, appear
ed to have remained unshattered. In this
portion Of the deck the frst-cabin pas
sengers were grouped at the time of the
explosion.
Dunmore, assisted by Mackenzie, Dash
wood and the Frenchman, rushed to one
of the quarter boats. They had just COM
pleted an examination by moonlight,
which showed the boat to have been
hopelessly disabled by the force of the
conclusion, and were about to cross the
decks for the purpose of inspecting the
other boat, when a terrified mob of sail
ors, many of them also badly scorched
and wounded, came rushing aft to take
frantic possession Of anything that would
float.
Dunmore rushed to his state room,
which was fortunately an upper one and
near at hand, and reappeared with re-
volver in his hand, with which he sec
onded the officers efforts nobly
Back, you cowardly hounds!' he
shouted ''The boats must be kept for
the women and children. Back, say,
back!'
The crew, most of them Lascars, re-
coiled an instant, and then responded
with an Infatuated yell:
''Let them have their way, Mr.. Dun
more!" at length whispered the officer.
''They won't listen to reason. If the
boats are not already disabled, it were
madness to put to sea in them without
provisions"
Dunmore wheeled upon him like lion
at bay, his eyes flashing, and even his
hair and beard seeming to bristle with the
fierce energy that possessed him; but
glance showed him that Mr.. Guy was
as brave as he, only more collected, and
he partly Gained himself by great eff
fort.
whats to be done?" he exclaimed.
Nothing now. Come aft"
Miss Muir arose, calm but very white,
as they approached the taffrai near
which she had been sitting.

said she, quietly. II am resigned to the
inevitable, but am yet willing to do what
