Under the Ban Of the Law
By J. C. Plummer


With the mate pulling him along by
the right arm and with the cook alter
nately launching and pushing his left
arm Capt. Buzbey kicked against
Jumps OF coal, stumped against rail
road ties and lodged lumber piles un-
til Covers wharf was reached. Then
the trio tumbled into a boat tied there
to and with lusty strokes the mate
and cook pulled towards the brig Iris
lying in midstream with her harbor
lamps cleaning in the murk.
Il card him when he fell and 1
card i'm gurgle when he goes IN
der" said the cook, his suppressed
voice trembling with excitement.
They alters gurgle when they're
drownin'," replied the mate, in the
tone Of an expert.
The skipper, a human paradox, in
asmuch as he sweated on the forehead
and s%huddered as to his body gasped
%anxiously, what in the name of Cord
will become of me?"
IF you're not took afore mornin',"
replied the mate, Il thinks I can work
it ali right"
"How?" inquired the skipper, with
interest.
Wei hide you aboard the brig and
when the OFFICERS come we'll say you
re not aboard and they can hunt all
they've a mind to. When we getc to
sea we may meet a vessel bound
around the Horn or we can slip you
off on n of the West Ingy islands
and say you fell overheard"
sThe galley locker" screeched the
cook.
What Of it; you bloomin' asst" in
luired the mate.
"E can 'ide in 1t. Coed ever think
of lookin' in a galley locker for a
MANI"
Bully" cried the mate, you can
lay out in that captain and nobody
can find you, and you'll be as comfort

with a wariegated quilt over you"
Lay in that box?' calculated the
skipper, ruefully.
Why, it's better than the peniten.
tiary,' retorted the mate.
Cor 'angin'," added the cook. Gang
ms a lawful DEATH"
The boarding of the brig was man
aged automatically by the mate. The
boat was pulled into the dark shadow
of the vessel and he and the cook
climbed on deck. There were only
two men on the brig, the others Of the
would be put aboard at day
break. One Of the men aboard was
sleepily keeping anchor watch and
him the mate sent into the ~forecastle
on some pretext. Quickly the skipper
was brought on board and as the cook
In the meantime had taken a variety
of tins and dishes out of the locker
Capt. Buzbey stretched himself out in
the confined quarters to the marked
discomposure of divers c~ockroaches
and one rat which fed madly along
the deck and plunged into the forecas-
tie. The cook then piled the tins. etc.
on top OF the locker. "A bloodhound
couldn't find i'm in there" he ejacu-
lated.
The remainder of the crew came on
board just as the east was cleaning
with a promise of the sun, but before
anchor was ordered up the mate whis.
pered to the cook.
I'm goin' ashore to find out what's
DOM"
He came back shortly with an odd
expression on his face and with reti.
impaired the news that the
body had not been found and there
was no immediate danger. Anchor
was raised and, pulled by the tug. the
Iris started down bay on her voyage
to Antigua.
To the laitical mind the head Of a
comet bears no proportionate value as
compared to its tail. The meeting Of
Capts. Buzbey and Hawker In Bonds
tavern may be likened to- the head Of
q comet-Of small Importance. The
fact that the two shippers quarreled
over their cups about some matter,
went out on the wharf still pickering
and that Skipper Buzbey in a fit Of
passion struck Skipper Hawker, who
fell overheard and was drowned,
forms the long and luminous tail to
escape the baleful light Of which Skip
per Buzbey had fed in the darkness
and had hidden In a cockroach haunt
ed box. The mate curtly told the
crew that the skipper was sick and
they interpreting the statement to
1een that the skipper was drunk,
were rather glad OF 1t and got under
way with a will. The skipper kept In

sunken, and then crept at nightiall
