our quarry an old man, my cousin had
twice to rate me for the elaboration of
my movements. We peered about
amongst the lurking shadows, with the
thunder of the seas hammering on the
iron sides without. Now and again a
heave of the ship would send us stag
gering apart, to bring up amongst I'M

want of sleep that had tangled my
nerves, but l knew in my heart that if
l were suddenly to catch a sight of those
wicked eyes staring out from the gloom
before us, l should shrek and run like
hysterical schoolgirl.
But Marnac was not there. The CRATE

He took the light from my hand and
stopped to examine something at his feet.
1t was a steel cylinder, about eight feet

In the patch of grey daylight above us

There was pause, filled with much
whispered talk from above. Then the
red head of our friend Tim Blake came
thrusting into the picture. He seemed
much distressed at the situation.

He opened the door cautiously, peeped
In, and then flung 1t wide with a great
oath. Tts cabin was empty!
Yet there was no doubt as to his man
ner of escape. In the middle Of the
flooring there capped little hole, with
a heavy square of wood lying beside it.
On examination We found that this en-
trance had also been barred by graf

hinges, disclosing a wooden ladder, the
foot of which was indstinguishabls In

Captain Lamb is trying to prevent the

argues that the question OF pure and
wholesome meat products cannot by any
fair method be made subject OF parti-

It is believed that the committee will

Should this action be taken there is little
