in the lee of a huge rock. which reminded
him Of Mont st. Michel In Normandy, ex-
cept that it was about half again as
high, and three times as long and that
there were no buildings OF any kind upon
it. nor, indeed. the least sign Of human
habitation.
The morning was fine; in the east the sun
had just risen, and was flooding the grim
rock with a rosy light. Except this rock,
no trace of land was visible as far as the
eye could see. Alongside the steamer was
moored sailing-boat with two masts, but
provided also with thole- pins, and sweeps
for rowing. The sails were furled, and she
had evidently been brought to the steam
ers side by means Of the oars. Into this
craft the crane was lowering boxes, bags
and what-not, which three or four men
were slowing away. The mate was super
intending this transshipment, and the cap
tain, standing with his back against the
deck-house. was handing one by one GER
tain papers, which Lermonton took to. be
bills of lading. to young man who signed
in a book for each he received. When this
transaction was completed, the young man
saluted the captain, and descended over the
ships side to the sail boat
Good morning captain. At anchor, I
see" said Lermontoff.
NO, not at anchor. Merely lying here.
The sea is too deep and affords no anchor

Where are all these goods goingY'
The captain nodded his head at the rock.

Then you lie to the lee of this rock, and

There's no lighthouse said the captain.

Yes. In a way. They keep a lookout

The prince laughed.

enforced voyage was merely a convenient
method of getting himself out of the way.
After lunch a dismal drizzle set in that

which drove Lermontoff to his cabin. and
that room being unproyded with either
window or electric light. the prince struck
match to one of the candles newly placed
on the washstand. He pushed the electric
button summoning the steward, and. giving
him some money, asked IL there was such
thing as piece OF stone on board, carried
as ballast. or for any other reason The
steward said he would inquire, and finally

CHAPTER XIV.
A Voyage Into the Unknown,

After the captain left him, Lermontoff
closed and bolted the door then sat down
upon the edge of his bed TO mediate upon
ing on shore somewhere, and looking at his
watch saw it was just II o'clock. 1t seemed
incredible that three-quarters OF an hour
previously he had left the hospitable doors
of friend, and now was churning his
way in unknown steamer to an I'M
known destination. 1t appeared impossible
that so much could have happened in forty
five minutes. He wondered what Drum
mond was doing and what action he would
take when he found his friend missing.
However, bordering over the matter
brought no solution OF the mystery, so, be-
ing a practical young man, he cast the sub
tect from his mind, picked up his heavy
overcoat which he had flung on the bed.
and hung 1t up on the hook attached to
the door AS he did this his hand came
In contact with a tube in one of his pockets,
and for a moment he imagined it was his
syringe he had purchased that evening
from the chemist This set his thought
whirling in another direction. He took
from an inside pocket one of the bottles
of ozak examining it under the candle
light wishing he had piece of rock with
which TO experiment. Then with yawn he
replaced the materials in his overcoat pock-
ct took off his boots, and threw himself
on the bed. thankful Il was not an ordinary
shelf bunk, but generous and comfort
able resting place. Now Katherine appear
ed before his closed eyes, and hand In hand
they wandered into dreamland together.
When he awoke 1t was pitch dark in his
cabin. The candles. which he had neglect
ed to extinguish. had burned themselves

CHAPTER XIV.
"a Home on the Rolling Deep, "

For once the humorous expression had
vanished from Capt. Kempt's face, and
that good-natured man sat in the dainty
drawing room of the fiat a picture of per-
plexity. Dorothy had told him the story Of
the nihilist. saying she intended to pur-
chase the yacht. and outlining what she
proposed to do with II when ii was her
own. Now she sat silent opposite the gen
ial captain. while Katherine stood by the
window, and talked enough for two, some
times waxing indignant and occasionally
giving, In terse language. an opinion Of
her father, Is the blessed privilege OF
every girl born In the land Of the Free while
the father took the censure with the
protesting mildnsss of his nature.
My dear girls. you really must listen to
reason. What you propose TO do is so
absurd that 1t doesn't even admit of argu-
ment. Why, It's filibusterins expedition,
as Walker of Nicaragua. Do you imagine
that retired captain of the United States
navy IL going to take command of a pi-
rate craft Of far less legal standing than
the Alabama, for then We were at war.
but now we are at peace. Do you actually
propose to attack the domain of friendly
country! Oht' cried the captain, with a
nightly explosion of breath, for at this
point his supply of language entirely gave

persisted Katherine.
Not know about it, With crew of men

back to New York? Not know about 1t?

Il believe every syllable he uttered. The
mans face showed that he was speaking
the truth.
but, my dear Kate you didn't see him
at all, as l understand the yarn. He was

Dorothy smiled sadly.

Where are you taking me. captain? ?"
1T is forbidden that 1 should answer

1T is also forbidden that I should go on

The general said that you were not to be

1T is easy to jump into the river and
perhaps swim ashore.

Then you are going down the river?"

displeasure cloudng his brow. feeling that
he had been led to give away informa-
ton which he should have kept to him
self.
You are not going up to Schlusselburg,

II told your highness that I am not al

Yes, excellency."
Did the general say you should not al
low me to see the letter tonight?"
NO, your excellency; he just said, DO
not trouble his highness tonight, but give
him this in the morning
"In that case let me have it now"
The captain pulled a letter from his
pocket and presented it to the prince. 1t
contained merely the two notes which Ler-
monitor had written to Drummond and to
the car.

put on his boots. While engaged In the
