organized labor influence. The
White House. 1t is said has been
bombared by kilograms and
letters from manufacturers and
influential people from all parts
Of the country and it has been

The threat of capital to 60 into
politics and to make its influence
felt just as organized labor has
been threatening through Mr..
Gompers to do, has been potent
in convincing the administration
that there might be some good
reason for the contention Of the
conservative manufacturers OF
the country.

CHAPTER XII.

C~1APTAIN SELOVER received as
III his due the most absolute and
~ implicit obedience imaginable.
~ When he condescended to give
an order in his own person, the men
fairly jumped to execute it. The mat
ter had evidently been thrashed out
long ago. They did not love him, not
they, but they feared him with a
mighty fear and did not hesitate to
say so wildly and often when in the
privacy of the forecastle. The pre-
vailing spirit was that of the wild
beast cowed but snarling still. Pull
and Thrackles in especial had a great
deal to say of what they were or were
not going to do, but / noticed that
their resolution always began TO run
out of them when first foot was set to
the companion ladder.
One day we were loafing along, ev-
erything drawing well and everybody

was but just beyond the full, so l sup

know of my presence, for he came and
stood within three feet of me without
giving any sign. The companion was
open. In moment some door below
was opened also, and a scrap of con-
versation came up to us very clearly.

H~ tURlNO tne next rev days the
I'M crew discussed our destination.
lAEI Discipline, while maintained
- strictly, was not conventional.
During the dog watches often every
man aboard would be below, for "a
that period Captain SelOver loved to
take the wheel in person, thick cigar
between his lips, the dingy checked
shirt wide open to expose his hairy
chest to the breeze. In the twilight of
the forecastle we had some great sea

while Handy Solomon held forth, his
speech punctuated by surly specula-
lions from the niger, with hesitating
deep sea wisdom from the hairy Thrac-
kles or with vouminous bursts of
fractured English from Perdosa. Pull
had nothing to offer, but watched from
his pale green eyes. The light shifted
and wavered from one to the other as
the ship swayed; garments swung; the
empty berths yawned cavernous.

the desperate men who had beaten off

over. enrag ed as always when his
precious deck was soiled, would not
listen. Finally the Mexican grew sui
ky and turned away as though refus-
ing to hear more The captain there
upon felled him to the deck and began
brutally to kick him in the face and
head.
Perdosa writhed and begged, but
without avail The other members
of the crew gathered near. After q
moment they began to murmur. Final
" Thrackles ventured most respectful
ly to intervene.
You'll kill him, sir" he interposed,
Hes had enough"
Had enough, has he?" screeched
the captain. well, you take what's
left
He marked Thrackles over the eye.
There was breathless pause, and
then Thrackles, Pull, the niger and
Perdosa attacked at once.
They caught the master unawares
and bore him to the deck. l dropped
at once TO the ratlines and commenced
my descent Before | had reached the
deck. however, SelOver was afoot
again, the four hanging to him like
dogs. In moment more he had shak-
en- them off, and before l could inter-
vene he had seized a Delaying pin in
either hand and was haZing them up
and down the deck.
| "Mutiny. would you?" he shrilled.
You poor swabs! Forgot who was
your captain. did We? We'll, it's Cap
tain Ezra Selover, and you can lay to
that! 1t would need about eight IA
Thorn of stuff like you to tie me down"
He chased them forward aud he
chased them aft. and every time the
pins fell blood followed. Finally they
dived like rabbits into the forecastle
hatch. Captain Seloyer leaned down
after them.
"Now tie yourselves up" he advised,
"and then come on deck and clean up
after yourselves He turned to me.
"Mr. Eagen, turn out the crew to clean
decks"
l descended to the forecastle, follow

The latter had taken no part i'll the
affair. We found the men in horrible
shape. what with the bruises and cuts
and bleeding freely.

To this he received no reply. The

After this taste of his quality Cap

made good time. but for a long while
nothing happened. Finally the mo
