thoughts marshaling themselves with

many dramatic Incidents that they
failed to assume due proportion.
But quickly there came memories OF

knees, covered her face with her hands
and broke into passion of weeping.
With a look Of infinite pity he stopped
and would have touched her shoulder,
but he suddenly restrained the I'M
pulse. Something had hardened this
man. It cost him an effort to be cal
lous, but he succeeded. His mouth
frightened, and his expression lost Its
tenderness.

claimed, and there was tinge of stud

In the utter desolation Of the moment
she could not help marveling that this

mist. Then he tremblingly endeavored
to open the neck Of her dress. He was
startled to find the girls eyes wide
open and surveying him with shadowy
alarm. She was quite conscious.
'.Thnnk God!" he cried hoarsely,
"You pre- alive"
Her color came back with remarka-
BILE rapidity. She tried to assume sit
ting posture, and instinctively her
tune.
"How ridiculous!" she said, with q
little note of annoyance In her voice,
which sounded curiously hollow. But
her brave spirit could not yet command
her enfeebled. frame. She was perforce
compelled to sink back to the support
of his knee and arm.
"Do you think you could lie quiet un-
til I try to find some water?" he gasp
ed anxiously.
She nodded a childlike acquiescence,
and her eyelids fell. 1t was only that
her eyes smarted dreadfully from the
salt water, but the sailor was sure
that this WIS premonition of lapse
to inconsistencies.
"Please try not to faint again." he
said. Don't you think l had better
loosen these things? You can breathe
more easily"
A ghost Of smile fickered on her
lips. Mono" she murmured. my
eyes hurt me-that Ii all. Is there
any-water?'
He laid her tenderly on the sand and
rose to his feet. His first glance was
toward the sea. He saw something
which made him blink with astcnish-
ment. A heavy sea was still running
over the barrier reef which inclosed a
small lagoon. The contrast between
the fierce commotion outside and the
comparatively smooth surface OF the
protected pool was very marked. At
low tide the lagoon was almost COM
pletely isolated. Indeed he imagined
that only fierce gale blowing from
the northwest would enable the waves
to leap the reef, save where strip Of
broken water, surging far into the
small natural harbor,. betrayed the po-
sition of the tiny entrance.
Yet at this very point fine cocoanut
palm reared its stately column high in
air, and its long, tremulous fronds were
now swinging wildly before the gale.
From where he stood it appeared to
be growing in the midst Of the sea, for
huge breakers completely hid the coral
embankment This sentinel Of the land
had weirdly impressive effect. 1t
was the only fixed object in the waste
Of foam capped waves. Not a vestige
Of the Sirdar remained seward, but
the sand was Uttered with wreckage,
and-mournful spectacle considera-
BILE number Of inanimate human forms
lay huddled up amid the relics Of the
steamer.
This discovery stirred him to action.
He turned to survey the land on which
he was stranded with his helpless COM
panion. To his great relief he discov-
cred that it was lofty and tree clad.
He knew that the ship could not have
drifted to Borneo, which still lay far to
the south. This must be one Of the
hundreds of islands which stud the
China sea and provide resorts for Hal
nan fishermen. Probably it was In
habited, though he thought it strange
that none of the islanders had put IN
an appearance. In any event water
and food of some sort were assured.
But before setting out upon his quest
two things demanded attention The
girl must be removed from her present
position 1t would be too horrible to

Il do not want any action taken by

me to enter my protest against a re-

vertiser of the 18th inst

among others of a like nature, is put

Nov, the report of our proceedings,
80 far as my connection with them was
concerned, was, in parts, untruthfuL
and, throughout, unfair; and, more, it
was in violation of the courtesy which
the Advertiser owes the Commission.
Even if that paper has decided to
attempt without cause or provocation
to ridicule me i'm season and out of
season, when it comes in here to re-
port our proceedings, my official con-
nection with you gentlemen, should
protect me from its injustice and indie
cency.
with the exception Of its last re-
port the paper has treated my utter

now protesting, was made by one, Mr..

that such "A style of reporting would

columns of the Advertiser.
