and lonesome, and turned away,
not as thankful as | should have

But in the meantime a boat hal
been lowered from the steamer,
and presently it came dancing over
the waters towards us. In the
stern sat an officer in uniform: the
boat was rowed by four men, while
two others with rifles in their
hands knelt in the bows. They

said something. Then looking up
at us he said suspiciously:

CHAPTER XIV.

vi course we LOOK S0OC every
chance we got. but for some time
the enemy was very wary. Then,
growing desperate, they advanced
in formidable body and attacked
us with vengeance Indeed, they
seemed to fear us nothing, and
came so close that for corner work

terribly exciting moment, and
we fired briskly; but when it was
all over, and the enemy had again
retreated, the smell of smoke blew
across the aperture and entered
the wheelhouse. looked at Hay

there was no mistaking its mean

breath. | had not the courage to
turn to Ethel. Indeed. l hoped she
did not know, though know she
must, and that very quickly. In
fact, even as | thought, the low
cracking of the woodwork reach
ed me. She stirred and came to-
wards us.
What noise was that, Frank"
Noise, dear?' he repeated,
weakly.

was all one, anyway.
Then he arose and was about to
open the door when suddenly he
stopped. Coming back to the win
ddow and putting his hand to his
ear, he listened intently. Then we
all heard noise like the distant
sound of a foghorn. In a second or
so it came again, this time clearer.
"a steamer" said Frank; and
he turned and took the girls hand
in his.
Thank God! Oh, thank Cod"
The fire meantime had caught
well, and the cracking of the
flames was now louder and angrier
than ever. But above it all came
the hoarse roar of the whistle, and
we knew that we were seen, and
that the ship was bearing down
ON US.
But the wheelhouse was rapidly
filling with smoke, and the fire had
already licked its way through the
damaged panel of the door. So
without more ado Frank rushed
out, an old bit of sailcloth in his
hand, while I stood at the window,
prepared to shoot on sight. But
the enemy gave no sign of their
presence and presently Hayling
poked his head in, crying: Come
out! They're gone"
And gone they were. AS we
stepped out on the deck we saw the
canoes making for the island as
fast as they could go, while upon
the other side of us lay a big
steamer, not more than a mile
away. l gripped Hayling by both
hands, which were blackened and
burnt with the fire, and his hard
face broke into a happy smile.
Ethel leant on the rail, and burying
her face in her arms, wept for JOY
Frank went over to her, and
gently laying his hand on her
shoulder, said:
Cheer up, little sister, It's all
right now"

ing AMI crying at the same time;
