The stove had false bottom and from
the cavity in it he brought forth three
heavy sacks which l saw contained
coins.
Wastrow had watched these pro.
ceeding with eyes that were mar
| rowed to my Sits. l could see that
he was interested, and 1 didn't like
the cupidity and cunning which showed
in his entire face.
Parlow had logged his sacks down
the companionway and started for the
launch, declining the assistance that
Wastrow offered him, and he was in
the act of stepping into the launch
when there came a spiteful crack and
puff of smoke from somewhere back
in the timber, and bullet pumped
into a stanchion beside him, to which
the launch was tied.
1t was no time for hesitation, so
we three jumped into the launch and
Wastrow cut the rope which moored
us to the steamer. The surviving
members of the gang were returning,
and we had no desire to be trapped on
the dismantled steamer. In trice
Parlow had started the engine and we
were headed away from the Davy
Jones. Bullets sang all around us,
and although we returned the fire, the
pirates were hid away in the timber,
and there was small chance of silen-
cling them. We tore through the water
with bullets skipping and ricocheting
about us on every hand until we
turned the bend in the slough Not
until then did we draw a full breath
or feel that we were out of danger
from the murderous bandits hid back
in the thick timber.
1t was an uneventful cruise back to
the city, it having been decided that
it was better to return there and send
out a strong party to recover the
stolen boat, than for us three to at
tempt it. am sure that Parlow didn't
sleep a wink on the return journey.
for whenever l was awake / saw him
huddled down upon the ironbound box
into which he had surreptitiously
slipped the sacks of money that he
had taken from the bottom of the
stove
1 was dog tired when we reached
port late the next afternoon, so left
the river-men aboard the launch after
offering to help Parlow carry his box
to place of safety, an offer which he
declined.
That was the last ever saw of eth
er of the river-men.
Parlow was found dead, floating in
the river some months later
Wastrow, who had disappeared, was
suspected of the murder, but he was
never apprehended.
l don't know what became of the
ironbound box, but the Dayy Jones
never went on another cruise. The pi-
rates burned it clear to the keel where
1t was tied up in the isolated lake.

channel on both sides with eyes that
overlooked nothing, and at the discov-
cry of new sign of the boats having
passed that way, they would nudge
each other and exchange glances that
BODIED no good for the thieves. Par
low was especially noticeable for the
steely glitter of his eyes, and l read
murder in them as plainly as l have
ever seen it in box-car letters on the
front page of yellow journal.
We must have travelled a mile or
more, when, just as we darted around
a clump of willows and saw a stretch
of open water doomed ahead, there
was a spiteful report far down the
lake, and a rife ball sung over our
heads. 1 had been under fire before,
but it happened so suddenly that l
ducked involuntarily. But not so with
Parlow and Wastrow. They seemed
to hail the attack with a fiendish de-
light, and saw them stick their rifles
farther out of the open window and
sight carefully down the barrels.
Our course was changed slightly,
and as the PROV of the boat swung
to the right in obedience to the rud-
der, 1 saw the Davy Jones tied up to
gigantic cypress tree at the farther
side of the lake. We headed directly
for it, and there were several more
shots from its direction, and one bull
let pumped into the woodwork Of the
cabin and sent a shower of splinters
about my ears. Over the bowed heads
of the two river-men l could plainly
see the steamboat, and on it's lower
deck l saw three men, each firing at
US with a repeating rife. We were
now less than 200 yards distant from
them, but neither of my companions
had replied to their fire. Our progress
was slow, and we made an excellent
target, as the sullen crunching of bull
let's through the woodwork and the
splintering of glass indicated
As coolly as if he were giving some
direction about the running of the
launch, heard Parlow mutter to his
companion:
You take the one on your right side
and I'll take care of the one on mine.
You say when"
Wastrow Immediately grunted his
understanding, and although he didn't
say when" he said something that
caused two fingers to curl about two
triggers. There was a loud report
from their rifles, sounding like a
single shot, and / saw two of the men
on the steamer crumple up like sere
leaf, stagger step or so, and fall to
the deck. The third man turned to
run, but he had only gone far enough
to permit of the fiinging back of a
lever and hasty taking of. sight be-
fore 1 saw him pitch forward in re-

lows rifle.

way, just as IL he had been shooting
