this English jest but only by of the fact that

CHAPTER
NINETEEN
The Devil to Pay
and No Pitch Hot

Jarvis the engineer had finally succeeded in
packing his shaft bearings, accomplishment
y highly approved of by Girard, in view of the
fact that his specially ordained equinox seemed
every moment to increase in violence. The Sptfre,
with the faithful Horsehair toing after her began
to wrgge and plunge her way in the general direction
of New York, being steered by compass only; for
in the last few hours of scudding cloud and driving
rain, all reckoning to exact locality merely
guesswork. AS Vada expressed it, they were sailing
by intuition.
ble and he who went outside by preference was, in
Girards opinion, either duck jackass; there
fore the party remained strictly within shelter.
Valda in her own state room attending to per-
sonal affairs and refusing to communicate with any
one. Morson-Brown in another state room
lying fat his back in bunk, with his hands and
feet securely bound, though Aunt Mary and Polly
had recklessly dsregarded discipline by approach
ing the prisoner without warrant and placing
two pillows beneath his curly head. The younger
of these ministerng angels would have also loosed
his cords as further mark of celestial tendency;
but the earthly Marcus Girard came in and thwarted
her. Thereafter the prisoners door remained open
and under the eye of the stony hearted warden.
Girard sat propped as well as NIGH; be in
cushioned angle of the main saloon that COM
manded view of the door in question, and was dis

cussing the future with Ormond.
He had conferred with that officer
of the law in reference to the dis
position of their captive, and had
made suggestion that caused his
listener to smile. The plan was this:
ON reaching New York, Ormond
~ and Tracy were to leave the
yacht quietly by boat or launch
and take their prisoner with
them, thus avoiding public notice
and undesirable notoriety for Girard
and his family. To this Ormond
agreed readily enough; but when
Girard offered to accompany the
trio to police headquarters and act
as witness, the courteous officer de-
INJURED. He appreciated the unset
fish desire far more than he could
express in words: but could not, he
said, even dream of putting his gen.
erous host to such deal of trouble
or cause him to be further incon-
venienced in the interests of the
law. No, Tracy and he were
thoroughly competent to handle
George C.. Brown; and as for the
missing gems, since they were imi-
tation and of no material value, it
mattered not a whit whether they
were found or not.
Touching this plan of action,
Marcus Girard might seem to be an
easy mark; for in all probability it
was just what Ormond wanted
and not only Ormond, but the other
two as well. If the three rascals
we're in collision, they would thus
leave the yacht unrestricted as to
their subsequent movements. On
reaching shore they would repair,
not to the bar of justice, but to
some other bar more healthy to
themselves, and there toast the bust
ness acumen of Marcus Girard in
humorous and profuse liquidity.
Therefore Ormond purred to
Girard's stockings, and almost
arched his back
Tracy was not present at this in
teresting interview; for all his ener-
gies, physical and mental, we're
bent on another occupation.
Truth to tell, but sad to relate, he
was seasick; and, in spite of the
many injunctions already impaired,
he failed signally in keeping his
blamed mouth shut This failure,
however, had the result of partially
acquitting him of the charge of

attendant upon Storm yet it had rather peculiar
effect on Morson-Brown He cursed Marcus Grard,
in audible tone of voice, then, very, very.
slowly he winked one eye.
Meanwhile the wind had increased into shrek:
for the storm had turned upon itself, or had done
something else which described technically by
the Captain-but cared just what. The tech
nicality, however. turned the electric SWITCH
to speak; for thunder began to boom and shout till
its rumblings played a mad accompaniment to each
succeeding crash, while the lightning began to blaze
and zip about, as if aimed by some drunken marks
man in frocsome desire to put the Horsehair and
the Spitire out of business
The transom impaired by Tracy's bullet was
broken in by the violence of the wind admitting
gusts of rain and cold salt spray which distributed
itself among the party with total lack of respectful
discrimination The lamps blew out and the main
saloon was Illuminated only by single swinging
lantern and the itful smears of lightning that
glared through the porthoes moistening group
of human faces with the dew of awe
CAPTAIN JOE had altered his course by several
- points, running before the wind and saving the
yacht far possible but his purpose had it's dis
advantages. In sliding up and down the rollers, the
Spitfre seemed possessed with determination to
stand first on her head and then on her tail; and,
while disportng in the former undignifed position,

ously with certain groanings and
raspings and grindings which
shook her superstructure from
stem to stern.
''Larris, bawled Girard through
brass speaking tube connecting
with the main saloon, what in
blazes is the matter with herr
She's racing, SIR" came the
Captains answer, by which he
meant that the propeller was
whirling in the air, and not in the
water, as the inventor of the con-
trivance had intended. We've
got to trust in God and Jarvis's
shaft packing on a seven-to-one
chance, Sir.
This was intended neither as
irreverence nor as a slur upon
Jarvis; but seven to one are poor
odds in any case, and, in this
particular case. they were exc

and it happened all in a lump.
Perhaps the shaft packing proved
Intellectual after all, or one of the
thousand other things known only
to nautical experts occurred; but,
according to general report, the
Spitfire stood longer than usual
on her head, and her propeller,
when relieved of water pressure
and whirling aimlessly in the air,
suddenly flew off somewhere in
the darkness and left the tail
shaft to spin at it's own discretion.
1t spun. Before steam could be
shut off the.ill natured machinery
began to buckle; and whenever
machinery engages in that par
ticular diversion, it is high time
to stroll out of the engine room.
There was a prolonged, magnifed.
rending sound analogous to that
observed by person having jaw
tooth extracted by an amateur.
Also, steam escaped with ghoul-
ish, whistling shrek, while the
stocking men made passing COM
ments on the unusual state of
things; and, as Jarvis himself
expressed it, 1T was some similar
to a Waterbury watch throwed
