The Survivors.

the floor Of the saloon heaved up in
the center with a mighty crash of
rending woodwork and iron. Men and
women, too stepefied to sob out a
prayer, were pitched headlong into
chaos. Iris, torn from the terrified
grasp of her maid, fell thru a corridor,
and would have gone down with the
ship had not a sailor, clinging to a
companion ladder, caught her as she
whirled along the steep slope of the
deck.
He did not know what had hap

preservation he seized the nearest sup
port when the vessel struck. It was

left arm and clasp the girls waist as
she fluttered past. BY idle chance
they were on the port side, and the
ship, after pausing for one awful sec

The man was not prepared for this
second gyration. Even as the stair

open hatchway, and swept off into the
boiling surf. Under such conditions
