carried her left arm in strip Of white
silk which pended from her neck. The
soldiers fOcked ABOUT her end were
prOiuse with congratulations.
Excuse me, there is Sankala, our
brave little heroinel'' said Captain
Budlong and left Hazel and rushed to
grasp the hand of the orphan.
The men broke away at the ap-
preach of the commander. Captain
Budlong was full OF praise for the girl,
inquired about her wounded ann and

"May have the next waltz after
this one-pardon me Mr.. Laphamw
said the captain turning to Sankala's
escort after making the request Of her.
"Dan doesn't waltz" replied San
kala.

captain for the music was just sarting
up and the dancers were beginning.
Certainly" replied Sankala as Dan
nodded his approval.
When the waltz was over Captain
BudlOng escorted Sankala to q seat
near Hazel Seadog. Sankala spoke TO
Hazel but the latter took no notice OF
her. Captain Budlong saw 1t but

''She 10 only one OF our employees
and do not recognize her as a social

dog venom expressed in her voice and
eyea.
Captain Budlong looked sharply at
his companion. His first lieutenant
relieved Sankala's embarrassment by
leading her to another portion OF the
room. Dan Lapham was engaging q
number Of fishermen at another por-
tion Of the house by telling them Of
the result Of the peace commissions

The dance continued until nearly
midnight without farther incident when
a messenger rushed in, almost out Of
breath. and announced that Old Sea-
dog was dying.
"Ringwold, too, has collapsed and
is at the house Of Seadog," said the
bearer Of bad news.
Captain Budlong hurried away with
Hazel and Dan and Sankala followed.

The clash finally came. The boats
came together like 80 many battering
rams. Curses arose loud over the
calm waters. The boats surged back

these.
