PLANTATION or of apology. With him
this had been but a part of the days
work. He saw neither sentiment nor
humor in the episode.
From the crows nest of the Bedford
Castle a week later the lookout stared
down upon white expaase that
stretched beyond the horizon. At dawn
they began their careful search. feeling
their way eastward through the open
lanes and tortuous passages that sep
arated the foes. now laying to for the
northward set OF the fields to clear q
path before them. now stealing through
freer waters.
Captain Peasley did all the~navigat-
ing in person, but eventually they were
hemmed in so closely that for a day
and n night they could do nothing but
drift with the pack. In time. how
ever, the winds opened a crevice
through which they retreated to follow
the outer limits farther eastward TN
Ill they were baked again.
Late one evening they discerned
smoke on the horizon. and the next
mornings light showed a three masted
steamship fast in the ice a few miles
to the westward.
That's the Juliet" Big George in
formed his companions. "one Of the
North American Packers association
tenders"
''She was loading when we left Seat

for this business. If we don't look out
he'll beat us in after all"
What good will that do him?'
Clyde questioned. The fish don't bite
Il mean run-for sixty days yet"
Emerson and Bait merely shrugged.
To Cherry Malotte this had been a
voyage Of dreams. for once away from
land Boyd had become his real self
again-that genial. irrepressible self
she had seen but rGrely-and his man
ner had lost the restraint and GOODNESS
which recently had disturbed their re-
latiOns. OF necessity their Cramped
environment had thrown them much
together, and their companionship had
been most pleasant.
Two days after sighting the Juliet
they raised another ship. one Of the
sailing fleet which they knew TO be
lowering in the offing. and then on the
9TH of the month the capricious cur
rent opened a way for them Slowly
at first they pushed on between the
foes into a vast area Of slush ice.

as a country mill pond. The lookout
pointed a path out of this. into which
they steamed. coming at length to
clear water, with the low shores of
the mainland twenty miles away.
At sundOwn they anchored in the
wide estuary of the Kalvik river, the
noisy rumble of their chains breaking
the silence that for months had lain
like a smother upon the port

hand on Cherry's arm. Presently the
captain crossed to them and said:
Wonder seems to be q launch max
ing out. See. I wonder what's up.
BY Jove! They're signaling"
The two boats were drawing together
rapidly, and soon those on the bridge
heard the faint but increasing patter
of a gasoline exhaust. Carrying the
same speed as the Bedford Castle, the
launch shortly came within hailing
distance. The cyclopean eye of the
ships searchlight blazed up, and the
next instant out from the gloom
leaped a little craft. on the deck of
which a man stood waving a lantern.
She held steadfastly to her couuse, and
a voice floatod up TO them:
Alloy! What ship"
"The Bedford Castle. cannery tender.
for Bristol bay" Peasley shouted
back
The man on the launch reIinquished
his lantern and. using both palms for
a funnel, cried more clearly now:
"Hcave to, We want to come
aboard"
With an exclamation of Impotence,
the commanding officer stepped to the
telegraph, but Emerson forestalled
him.
Wait. They're after me, captain; it's
the Port Townsend police. and if you
let them aboard they'll take me Off"
Turning. the skipper beloved:
"Who are you?"
Police,
what did 1 tell you?" cried Emer-
son.
What do you want?"
"One of your possengers-Em Emerson.
Heave to. You're passing us"
That's bloody hard luck. Mr.. Emer-
son: can't help myself" the captain
declared. Put again Boyd blocked him
as he started for the telegraph.
Il won't stand it, sir. It's 4 con-
spiracy to ruin me"
But, my dear young man
Don't touch that instrument"
From the launch came cries of grow
ing vehcmence. and a startled murmur
of voices rose from somewhere in the
darkness of the deck beneath.

ly. But the other held his ground,

THREE CHURCHES HOLD REvI-
Walls.

Because of Shorter church, Zion
Baptist church and Bethlehem Bap-
tist the spiritual temperature of
Denver has gone upwards so several
degrees. Already the effect of the
meetings have been felt and the
places SO often frequented by the
loungers and followers of pleasure
only have shown the effect by the alb
sence of the familiar faces. Converts
are very numerous, back sliders have
shown eager interest in coming again
and taking up the cross and following
the Lowly Nazarene, while yet there
are many sin-sick men and women
who display an anxious disposition TO
live better lives. They complain they
are sick in the heart with sin and are
eager to try Jesus as the Doctor.
Zion Baptist church is holding pow.
erfully strong meetings while the
many new converts added to Shorter
last Sunday night speaks for itself.
Bethlehem began her meetings. last
Sunday and the spiritual fire is being
felt.
