Ibis grasp upon the sirou,ls and plunged

CHAPTER NNNi1.
"I'IECt,S OF EIGHT"
Owing TO the canting of the vessel
the masts hung far out over the Wa
ter and from my perch on the cross
trees | had nothing below me but the
surface of the bay Hands, who Was
mot so far up, was, in consequence,
nearer the ship, ald tell between me
and the btilwarks. He rose once to the
surface in n lather of foam and blood
and then sank again for good. AS the
water settled could see him lying
huddled together on the clean, bright
sand In the shadow OF the vessei's
sides. a fish or two whipped past his
body. Sometimes, by the quivcring OF
the water, he appeared TO move a 1T
tie, as II he We're trying TO rise. But
he was dead enough, for all that, being
both shot and drowned and was food
for fish In the very place whore he had
designed my slaughter.
j was no sooner certain of this than
] began TO feel sick, faint and terri
fed Tho hot blood was running over
my back and chest The dirk where it
had pinned my shoulder to the mast
seemed to burn Hike Il hot iron; yet 1t
was not so much these real sutferings
that distressed me. for these, 1t seemed
to me. | could bear without a mufinur.
it was the horror had upon my mind
of falling from the cross trees into
that stll green water beside the body
of tho coekswaip.
