He voleyed out into the night Q message dada reef is the only charted reef within POO miles of our present posi- ton. Could you send 200 miles tc- nightg
 Harling shook his head. T don't think we could, sir. And 200 mtles for yacht would be impos- sible. Wait minute"
 He sprang to the key again and with firm, emphatic strokes drove an i'm perative message.
 Whats that?' asked the captain.
 '4 asked for his radius of communi- catioll-how far he could send,'' ex- plained Harling. He waited moment, and than the receiver began again its nervous. frightened clicking.
 The face of the listening operator frightened.
 Sixty miles," he exclaimed, translat- ing the clicks. @Why, we must be within forty miles to get him at all tonight. But we are going toward him. We might now be within thirty miles,
 The captain shook his head.
 .sYes, but where?" he said. "It may be in any position. Anywhere within forty mile reach, ahead or on either beam, and tonight we can scarcely see a quarter mile with the search light.''
 Again the receiver began a wild tattoo. The light went out of Har- ling's face as he listened. Then he turned almost piteously to the captain.
 He says they're breaking up, sir. For Gods sake'- The clicking stopped suddenly. The two men in the wireless room looked at each other, and slowly each saw the horror grow in the eyes of the other. receiver stayed still. "They're gone," said the captain softly at last, and outside the wIrefesk
 room the wind roared triumphantly, while the big waves pitched the ship about in the teeth of the gale. Harling dropped back into chair. Gone! he muttered stupidly "Gone!" And then, to his plain imag. ination, there came the picture of the yacht breaking up and the thirty going down to death in the sea. Perhaps they might be closer; they might be almost on them. Perhaps there was still time. And then the thought, Sup. pose there are women, too, on board, ? came to the young operator. Harling sprang to his feet. No, noy' he yelled loud above the storm. sThey shan't be gone! We will save themw He sprang to the key and desperate. ly, rebelIiously, volleyed out into the night message of cheer and hope .We're coming. We'll save you yet Where are you? Hang oni'' The captain laid his hand gently or
 the young fellows shoulder.

The foo1r' he gasped. eff he's
 breaking up, why is he wasting time that way?' And then his own message volleyed out into the night: What reef? Send position Quick In panicky clicks the answer came back It was the same idiotic raving of fear crazed man.
 "I'I reward you. I am B. IT. Pinck- 1 ney and rich. Have thirty on board. Will reward handsomely
 Again Harling drove out the short demand for the position of the wreck ed yacht Then, as he waited for re- ply, he seized the captains telephone a second time.
 'Tt's the yacht Irvessa, captain. She reports going to pieces. There's g frightened fool at the key-E. H. Pinckney. Can't even get his position. Pm doing my best, sir, but Pinckney's
 lost his nerve completely. If they. had a man at the key. we might get some thing"
 He hung up the phone to listen in | disgust and despair to Pinckney's ravings driven out through the storm. There was no chance for Harling to send. The man at the Irvessa key kept pounding, with no sense to his
 messages. As the Mongolian operator waited for a break to cut in the cap
 tain, driven by the force of the wind, fairly burst into the little wireless room. '.sWell.'' he snapped, s'what is it now? :? Have you got the position of the IT.

 Harling shook his head in disgust. q can hardly make out what he says, captain. His sending is awful.
 He's good operator, too. believe, only he's lost his nerve completely But as nearly as can make out''-he listened moment anxiously tits a little better now. He says Irvessa,
 bound for New York from Porto Rico,
