At length he paused, choking sen

no answer. Whence came that look
IN her eyesl He had seen II before IN
a seagull lying behind a boulder with
broken wing.
He looked az her, amazed. Then
the pain Ia her eyes was blOtted out
by binding tears. She drew from her
bosom a scrap OF paper and pebcil,
and. hastily writing a few words,
thrust the paper Into Donald's hand.
He read In haze:
Poor Greta Is deaf and dumb, and.
alas cannot understand your words
A lump rose IA Donald's throat But
soon great JOY surged over him. I'M

Capt Hogemann OF the Kronprin-

We could get no perceptible sound
through the starboard receiver. As we
approached the lightship the sounds
became palmer until they were quite
distinct. At 1917 O'Clock the sounds
were the plalaest. and because OF this
we felt it was safe to assume the light
vessel was directly opposite us.
AT II :25 o'clock the bells OF Haaks

distant. The sound came family az

that he regards the test as severe one.
