the fact that he was now almose lying
on the door, against wlich, moment

ing continued, accompanied by bumps
and slidings, giving him very much
the same sensation that he had once
experienced in a building that was be-
ing shaken by an earthquake. The
waves, over which she had but now
been leaping with long free strides,
pounded against her with terrific and
angry violence.

dry above the level of the ocean. Four
rats were swimming about in the cabin
their bewhiskered noses thrust above
the water, a look of fright and conf

Cling little eyes. They made triangu-

table and looked up at him. Once,
when considerable area of the divan
rose clear, through greater list than
usual, one of them started for the
spot, quickly followed by the others,
side by side. They all scrambled up

washed off, when the ship pitched
again to starboard.

waded over toward the portfolio. The
rats swan to him and he looked about
for something with which to beat them
off, as he remembered that rats. when
cornered, will attack a man. But these
had no intention of biting, though
they came SO close that they even
bumped their noses against his legs.

about in rather dangerous confusion
