he not going UP the ladder? There were
boats left, Ne had seen that. He could
fight for a place and be saved. He was
so young; not old like the mate and
captain. They must give him place.
All at once he loosened his hold and
ran bindly for the door. On the way he
tripped and fen heavily on his hands
and face, cutting and bruising them. He
lay half stunned for minute. moaning
from the pain then raised himself and
crawled the rest OF the way. He passed
through the door, and with feverfsh
haste shot the great iron bolts. The boy
was alone In his tomb. He leaned against
the buikhead. sick, sick TO death. Why
had he done this? He did not know.
They would be saved now. but he--O
God, no more light or life for him. His
poor dry lips moved convulsiveiy, and

This is one of the strangest outcomes
