CHAPTER VI.
Bulqer's Heart and Jerry's Shirt.

1t was after midnight when Jerry
went to his narrow bunk. For AN hour
or more he tossed about with a
nervousness that was almost chilling
In a moment of his widest emotion
he half determined to attempt an es-
cape from the old vessel. but an after.
thought assured him that the willy
captain had planned to keep him under
watch all the time.
Before he finally tell asleep he was
reconciled TO bis fate, and Just before
his uneasy mind found temporary re.
lief he was experiencing, in a degree,
the sensation of actually yearning for
the climax to this phase of his ex-
traordinary adventure.
He was on deck at the first gray
tint OF dawn. Here and there mem
bers of the small crew were sleeping
in blankets that served as both beds
and coverings. The old boat was
moving along at what seemed to him
snailpace. The shore was barely
visible. Jerry was standing against
the railing, his eyes fixed on the dim
streaks In the east. when Capt. Bull
ger came on deck.
