leant over the side and watched the oper-

Tit men in the lighter toiled like ants,
piiing up the sacks INTO bundles of six,
and fastening a rope around them, and
securing IT TO the chain of the crane
which was to hoist the sacks on board. As
fast as one bundle was lifted up and drop
ped into the hold another was got ready,
and so In a wonderfully short time the
lighter was emptied, A small tug which
had brought it towed it into the dark
ness, and at last everything was ready for
the start. The anchor was weighed and
the teamer set forth upon her daring

the traffic and not overlooked by any
building ON shore.
Within this inlet they found moored
the vessel that was to carry them 10
Crete. a little coasting steamer OF four
hundred tons, which had been hired by
the Government at a price proportion
ate to the risk it was to run.
There were no lights on the steamer
and none visible on land; only the stars
in the heavens shed their glory on :he
scene. In profound quiet the little
launch came alongside, and Vaughan
and Masalaki climbed up 20 the steam
er's deck and shook hands with the
captain. The captain, Koukcudakes,
appeared unable to speak English. and
his manner seemed somewha: uupro-
pitious. But the young nava, officer
explained to Vaughan that this was
due to the anxiety under watch ne was
and skilful seaman a native of the eel
ebrated little island of Hydraios, which
had furnished the Greek Navy with
some of its most famous officers
Hydraios was a privileged isle, and
along with two others 1t had borne a
considerable part in the War of indie
p~endence, as a recognition of which 1t
returned more deputies to the Chamber
than any other part of Greece.
AS soon as they were safe on board
Masalaki explained to Vaughan their
plan of operations. On the north coast
of the Isle Of Crete the map showed a
little peninsula jutting out from the
rest of the island, to which it was only
Joined by a narrow neck of land. This
peninsula called Akrotiri, was held by
a force of insurgents about a thousand
strong. The narrow neck of land,
however, had been occupied by the
troops of the Gpat Powers, and the in
surgents were consequently cut off
from their brethren on the island and
from all food supplies. The result was
that they were likely to be starved into
surrender unless help speedily came.
BY a system of light signals flashed
from island to island, across the Med
iterranean from Crete TO the main
land, they were able to communicate
their distress to the authorities in Ath-
ems, and it was in response to their ur-
gent demands for provisions that the
steamer had been equipped.
At n point. and only at n point,
there was a tiny harbour. For this
spot Captain K~oukoudakes was to
make, and should he succeed in run
ming the blockade he was to land his
cargo and return with all possible ex-
petition.
The loading of the steamer had been
a work of stealth, for Athens and Pr
raeus swarmed with spies, whether in
the shape of diplomats or newspaper
correspondents. who would be only too
ready to convey information OF the in
tended trip to the Powers and thus en-
able the steamer TO be intercepted by
the battle ships on the watch.
It was not till darkness had set in that
the lighters containing the -four which the
steamer was destined to convey to Crete
came alongside. Then two great iaring
lights were lit up upon the steamer. a
donkey engine was set to work and the
contents of the lighter were rapidly trans
