The year has marked the accomplishment
Of numerous public improvements of a

fact which, indeed, the robbers appreciated
quite as well as did the mutineers.
Lofty Rankin was taken wholly by sur
prise by the robbers assault. He had not
dreamed that the outlaws would resort to
so desperate an expedient that of taking
the Venture by storm. 1t was not till the
engineer and his assistant had been made
prisoners, reducing the mutineers' fighting
force by two, that he realized the possibility
of the robbers being successful in their de-
sign.
Without waiting for the word, the. mutt
neers rallied about their leader the instant
they knew what was going on. There were
but seven of the school-boat defenders
now, all told; for Mcpherson could not leave
the wheel.
Prompt as were the rebel students, how
ever, they were not quick enough to trustrate
the robbers. As they crowded into the gang,

the rascals came tumbling out.

only exception being Lofty, who carried the
cutiass which had been taken from the loyal
boatswain of the Venture when the vessel
was captured. Ihe weapons taken from the

From the ward-room these five men had
made their way to the fire room through the
same hatch as had the commander.
ignoring the two stokers they clambered up
the perpendicular ladder to the engine room,
overcame the two engineers. and then began
beating on the engine room door. "Open up and

'fWell, did I ever!" calculated Lofty, SO
angry that he could scarcely articulate:
And then he, in turn, threw down his wea-
pom and strode aft. ,,
II thought you'd come to your senses, .
said Ricketts,, savagely Gamble, open 1na5 ns,S

drive these fellows below and give them

In moment it was done. Lofty's COM
panions, alarmed at the fierce expressions OF
Ricketts's henchmen, did not even walt Ior
the command, but as soon as the hatcn was
removed they marched down the companion
stairs.
Lofty evinced determination to stand nus
ground, but when the Detwilers advanced
upon him, his courage also failed him. >,
"You needn't lay hands on me! Don
you dare touch mel" he protested, backing
up. -, -
His foot struck the combing Of the hatch'
and he retreated sullenly down the stairs.
Before the hatch was put. on, McPherson
was brought from the wheelhouse, and lastly
came the two prisoners who had been tied
together-in the engine-room
Mcpherson had witnessed, from the wheel
house, everything that occurred on deck.
The sight Of Rickettss revolver. backed by
the mans red and angry face, had cowed HIM
almost as completely as>it had the Ventures 8

was in daze. He looked at his followers,

minute without speaking. Then, to the sur
prise and anger of the others, Lofty broke
out into a storm of reproaches. He accused
them of base cowardice.
"You're set of ninnies, to allow your
selves to be intimidated by one man; for IL
was Ricketts, and his revolver that you were
afraid Of" he declared. >,
"Certainly it was" responded Guipe, coolly.
'1f you're hero enough to tackle an angry
you're more of hero than l am. As Tor
me. I'd rather be a live ninny than dead
hero"
While the discussion went on and waxed
momentarily warmer, Mcpherson went up the
comnanion- stairs and examined the hatch
cover. AS he expected, it had been securely
battened down. McPherson did not doupt
cabin had been as securely closed IL was
useless to think of apeing the robbers tlcK'
and escaping by way of the freroom-
He looked doubtful, but determined, when
he returned to the ward-room. The run
aways there were still wrangling.
"See here!". he said, don't you fellows
think it's about time to quit that and think
of some way to get out OF TINS scrape- we
must find some plan to outwit these desper-

shaking his head, rebellously. "Pve got
more confidence in the robbers, as navi-
gators, than l have in you and Lofty, any

take better care of the boat than You could. ;,
"Do you refuse to do duty!' demanded
"Do duty? OF course I do. Aren't you
