is very frightened"
There il no accounting for the work
ings of mans mind. Courtenay, at
no time lady's man, most certainly
had other matters to attend to just
then Yet here he was thinking only
of a woman's comfort. His dismal
forebodings were banished by a rush
of absurd delight at the thought that
he would have an opportunity of speak
ing to her occasionally. What brave
girl she was! What wife for a sail
or! In truth, these were mad notions
that jostled In his brain when his life
and hers were not worth an hours

the ladder.

Courtenay was on the starboard side.
He heard yell of dismay from the

tenay felt rather than heard that she
was speaking to him. Without further
ado he picked her up in his arms and
deposited her, all flushed and breath
less, in the shelter of the fore salon
hatch. If she were SO anxious to see
her friend the doctor, he was deter
mined she should not be disappointed.
"No time for explanations" he said,
while she tremblingly clutched at a
rail which gave support down the
compan1onway. "Dr. Christobal is be-

A pungent smell of iodoform came
to them up the hatchway. Joey, who

and was now few steps down the
stairs, crept back, awed.
"At least let me ask DR.. Christobal

A Bad Leaning That Way.

At Emerson's dinner table one day,
saws the New England Magazine,
there was mention of a woman we'll
known as lion hunter; and, in speak
ing a. her, Mrs. Emerson used the
word "snob." Mr. Emerson objected,
the word was too harsh; he didn't like
that ugly class of words beginning
with "sn." His wife inquired how he
would characterize the lady. 4 should
say,-very slowly-"she is a person
having great sympathy with success"

erwise she lay there like beaten
thing, oddly resembling the living but
almost unconscious men stretched on
the mattresses in the forward salon.
Courtenay did not experience the
least fear of death Emotion of any
sort was already dead In him. He
found himself wondering II an unex-
pectedly strong current setting to the
southeast had not upset his reckoning,
If there were any broken limbs among
the occupants Of the salon, If Elsie
had been injured by being thrown
down into his cabin. He looked at his
watch. 1t was past II. In four hours
there would be dawn. Dawn! In as
many minutes he might see the day
that is everlasting. All, perhaps not
even four minutes! The Kansas, with
SILVER, lifted to the embrace of
heavy sea, lurched to port and settled
herself more comfortably. The deck
assumed an easier angle. Now 1t was
possible to walk. There were no rocks
here, at any rate. Courtenay at once
jumped to the conclusion that the pow
erful current whose existence he sus-
Dected had cut out for itself ieep
water channel toward the land and the
ship had struck on the silt of its back
wash. Anyhow, the Kansas was still
living. The lights were all burning
steadily. He could detect the rhythmic
throb of the donkey engine. He felt
it like the faint beat of pulse. In
her new position the ship presented
less of solid wall to the onslaught Of
the sea. The tumultuous waves began
to race past without breaking SO fierce
". Had she started her plates? Were
the holds and engine room full Of wa

were already drowning beneath his
feet. And when next she moved the
vessel might slip away into the depths!
A man rushed by, or tried to do so.
Courtenay recognized him as leading
stoker who had temporary charge Of
the donkey boiler and seized him
wrathfully, his eyes ablaze.

Courtenay relaxed his grip, and for

stuck to his post. fearing the mad
captain more than death.
A mob of stewards and kitchen
hands came in a torrent up the salon
stairs. Courtenay met them, a terri

Utilization OF Tidal Power.

Almost simultaneously expert
ments have been made at Hamburg
and I'm Italy for deciding the ques-
ton whether the movements on the
surface OF the sea could not on q
large scale be fructified as sources
of power for electrical works. The
German engineer Herr Pein has just
founded a limited company called
'Wasserkraft Anlagen" (Waterpow-
er Iustallments) at Hamburg with
view OF using the regular coming
and going out of the tides as moving
power. At the beach near Groden
at the mothe of the Elbe river works
are in the course of construction
that will supply the necessary powIr
for the electric light of that place
and CuXhaven aud for the electric
tramway as WELL The patents taken
ont in the coarse of his experiments
are based on a principle that II Is
said will allow the delivery of cleo
tric current considerably below the
current rates. This system derives
its principal advantage from the reg
ular reiteration of the motions used
but II can, of course, be applied only
on spots where as stIong tides are
available as in the German ocean.
For fructifying the irregular
movements of the sea water, the
waves. an Italian major of the gen.
eral STAFF of the army. Signore Ra-
velh, has invented an apparatus 10
which he has given the name of
"Maremotore. After testing II on
the coast OF Liguria, where there
are no tides, he took his patents out
in all the countries of Europe and
America. His apparatus consists of
an inclined plane with rails stretch
ing well into the deep sea- Carts
that move on these rails are TO be
lifted up by the pressure of the
waves and TO fall again by their owr
weight. Thereby pumps are set Ia
motion accumulating water that by
IFS overflow will supply the moving
power for electrical or compressed
air machines. Another method af
utilizing the waves has been alreadyl
in practical use Gin a small wayfl
for about seven years. But moored
