not repress a feeling of delight and
satisfaction as he told himself that in
the very beginning of the fight that
was to follow he and his mates had
gained the first advantage.
AS the action of that nights events
became more and more accelerated Will
bur could not but notice the change in
Moran. It was very evident that the
old Morse fighting blood of her was all
astir-brutal, merciless, savage beyond
all control. A sort of obsession seized
upon her at the near approach Of bat
tie, 4 frenzy of action that was check
ed by nothing, that was insensible to
all restraint. At times it was impossi-
bic for him to make her hear him, or
when she heard to understand what he
was saying. Her vision contracted It
was evident that she could not see dis
! tlnctly. Wilbur could no longer con-
celve of her as a woman Of the days
of civilization. She was lapsing back
to the eighth century again-to the
vikings, the sea wolves, the berserk-
ers.
"Now you're going to talk!' she cried
to Hoang as the bound Chinaman sat
upon the beach, leaning his back against
the great skull. "Charlie, ask him if
they saved the ambergris when the
junk went down-if they've got it

Chinese but the beachcomber only
twinkled his vicious eyes upon them
and held his peace. With the full
sweep of her arm, her fist clinched till
the knuckles whitened, Moran struck
him in tie face.
Now will you talk?" she cried Ho-

his shoulder and set his jaws. He did
not answer

Later on in the afternoon Moran and
Wilbur saw 4 small boat put off from
the junk and make a landing by the
creek. The beachcombers We're taking

before evening, but the beachcombers

teeth as she and Wilbur were cooking

board-our loot too. 1t goes against
the grain
The moon rose considerably earlier
that night, and by - o'clock the bay
was flooded with it's electrical white
ness. Wilbur and Moran could plainly
make out the junk tied up to the kelp
ofshore. They had slept but short
time when Wilbur was awakened by
Moran shaking his arm.
'"There's something wrong out there"
she whispered wrong with
the junk. Hear 'em sQuealing? Look,

cts their turn now.''
Wilbur could see the crank junk,
with its staring red eyes, high stern
and Prov, as distinctly as though at
monday. AS he watched, it seemed as
if great wave caught her suddenly
under foot. She heaved up bodily out
Of the water, dropped again with a
splash, rose again and again fell back
into her own ripples, that, widening
from her sides, broke crisply on the
sand at Wilbur's feet
Then the commotion ceased abrupt
~. The bay was quiet again. An hour
passed, then two. The moon began to
set. Moran and Wilbur, wearied of
watching, had turned in again, when
they were startled to wakefulness by
the creal1 of oarlocks and the sound of
boat grounding in the sand.

Wilbur, Moran and Charlie had
drawn off little from the Bertha
Millner's crew. The latter squatted in
line along the shore-silent, reserved,
looking vaguely seward through the
night. Moran spoke again, her scowl
thickening:
