She climbed up few rungs and bade
Deborah try the descent Deborah was

the little boat clear of the ship. There
were oars in the boat, which was not
too large for Ellen to row. She broke
them out cautiously and by a few
slow, steady but powerful strokes, she
soon got sufficiently far from the mer.

not caught her yet, and that her dis

The Unsuccessful Dash Of the Britain.

To say that Captain jeremiah Tug.
giles was angry at the difficulties in
which he had involved himself by at.
tempting to further the fight of his
compatriots is to put, 1t mildly. He
was entirely helpless, however. To
have attempted to brave ship-ofthe
line like the Britannia would have
been madness. The English levia
than could sail three fathoms to his

in his voice. two persons were seen

tion or respect. The ancient habit oi
authority was too strong and England
for years had carried matters with 9
high hand on the high seas.
Tuggles was man Of sense and
therefore he obeyed the imperious
mandate from the other ship. He sur
missed, of course. why he had been
bldden to heave to. His unlucky pas
sengers had caused this humiliation
to be put upon him and he cursed the
kindly impulse which had led him
to receive them. He did not send be-
low to awaken them. He would let
the people In the approaching boat
do that.
One OF the Britannia's cutters had
been filed with men and dropped

could not but admire the splendid
man.of-war stroke with which the cut
ter bore away from the brightly light
ed sides OF the liner and approached
his own darker ship. Presently. he
heard sharp words OF command from
the water below.
Way enough Oars"
The next moment the cutter softly
slid alongside the Flying Star. A sec
ond or two later figure appeared In
the gangway and stepped to the deck.
The visitor was followed by two 9th
ers. Captain Tuggles strobe moodily
aft on the quarterback. These visitors
were not guests and he had no desire
to extend to them any hospitality
whatsoever. In fact, there was no
one TO receive them and in the dark
ness. the decks looked to be deserted.
The second man who had reached
the deck. stepped forward. took the
first by the arm and walked aft with
an assurance born of familiarity with
ships and decks. They found Captain
Tuggies standing just forward OF the
miZzenbast.
