Martin disappeared in the direction OF
the forecastle, and when Mr.. Arbuckle
saw him emerge a little later he went be-
low.

carefully down by the manropes. These
were two short. fancifuly covered ropes,

was a Salvation Army man, and shipped
in this vessel. She told that, but she
didn't know that he was TO meet his father
and be driven insane. Look at your work,
you hell-hound. Look at your work.
Mr.. Arbuckle descended quickly. The
ropes and steps were very slippery, but
this may not have been the reason of
his hurry The demented youth looked
down and gibbered. The man in the
boat said nothing. When Martin cast
off the painter, he shipped the oars and
pulled shoreward.
He was not back at midnight; he
came at / O'Clock, when the flood tide
had gathered force, and the vessel was
failing up the harbor with the side lad
der on the offshore side. He hailed as
he approached. but the anchor watch,
looking down from the poop rail, did not
answer the order to take the painter,
so he pulled to the steps and essayed to
climb them with the painter In his
hand. But steps and man ropes were
still icy. He slipped, scrambled, lost the
painter, and the boat foated stern
ward, found himself In the water, hold
ing on to the end OF the after manrope,
with the side ladder tantalzingly close,
but not within reach.
The tide was strong and held him
away from the ladder The water was
icy cold and his teeth chartered Utter
ing an angry curse, he pulled himself
up-high as his strength would enable
him-and with less of his body immersed,
he swung toward the ladder; but, strong
man though he was, he could not support
so much of his weight and water-soaked
clothing with one hand, even to catch
the ladder with the other. With finger
nails scraping the coveted steps he Slid
down the rope, and barely held on at
the end. Again and again he tried, only
to fatigue himself in future.

groaned, Pm cramped. I've got the

His voice was weak now, and he saved

like voice echoing on the shore:

He sank faint and hungry among tho

And they laid him sad and lonely within

tered the man, as the singer ended the
verse. His eyes were closed now, and
while the boy hummed the melody softly.
he repeated to himself the words of the
consul at Callao:

Kill come back to watch us die"
Something brushed him and he opened
