brave navigator and his sweet

of hardship and danger on the

There was tightening of Elsie's lips

The count might serve as foil. but
the real quarry now was the captain.
That very night there would be a
moon And the sea was calm as a

Suddenly they both heard an excit-

rush of feet along the deck. Courte-

There was an instant's pause Their

again. "Next time shoot to kill"
With terror in their eyes, with
blanched cheeks, they rushed to the

fired, and what had given that tense
ring to Courtenay's threat?
Venturing a little farther, they gain

long way beneath, near an open hatch,
half caste Chilean was lying on his
back. He had evidently been wound
ed. Blood was flowing from his leg
1t smeared the white deck. The officer
who had climbed down so speedily
from the bridge was directing two 9th

the chief officer, Mr. Boyle, was
stanching deep cut on his chin with

The girls were gazing wide eyed al

Courtenay approached.
"Better go below" he said quietly.
II am sorry this trouble should have
happened, at the beginning of the voy-

Elsie drummed an impatient foot on

Isobe closed her eyes lazily, but she
opened them again when she heard
her friend say:

"Ventana was a determined wooer

"He-he pestered me with his atten

The steward returned. He was 6

One Of the interesting features of
the stay of the editors In Newport News
