the elew lines showed that the men
were not handling the canvas After
tho crew aud officers had wondered for
some time what was the matter, there
was a moment OF comparative quiet in
the storm, and there came down from
the masthead the sound Of a struggle.

the waves. He aimed his blows at
Hansen's stomach. Darkness over

life and death until they were lassOed,
