/, companied by from six to ten rifle
men. If they were trying to set fire to
the boat, or merely to light it up SO
that they might pot at it's occupants
from the safety of the darkness, 1t
soon became evident that their scheme
was not destined to prove highly sue
cessful. The men, for one thing.
made themselves plainly visible for
an instant or so while they were
scratching their matches and applying
the burning arrows to the string
They kept shooting now, sporadical-
ly. First here and there and then in
some other spot red, fitful light
would CLEAN for an instant, dyeing
patch in the river blood-red by its
radiance, and revealing wild, saw
age-looking Mongolian, armed with
great bow and culver, who flicked into
view for moment and as soon was
swallowed up again by darkness.
Hardy, not understanding the gen.
erals orders, reasoned that he would
be pardoned for acting under his own.
If he were going wrong, he reflected.
1t would be easy to stop him. He
therefore held his rifle ready for ac-
ton, as man who is expecting
covey of quail to rise, and stood
watching the water, alert, tense, keen
as cat about to spring His chance
came soon, when one of those lights
flashed nearly in the direction of his
gaze and not far away. He threw
the gun to his shoulder and fired. He
could not see the sights, but he could
make out the object plainly, and ho
knew he should not go far wrong He
missed, for the Chinese. standing
about waist-deep in the water, fitted
the arrow to the string and discharged
it. The shot rang out loud and clear.
1t seemed to Hardy that he had never
heard rifle make such loud report
before. The general exclaimed
Monsieur Hardy, ah," and made no
further comment, SO the American
continued his shooting-once, twice,
three times. Meanwhile the attacking
party seemed to be approaching a lit
tie nearer, and they succeeded in lodg-
ing several of their burning missiles
in the woodwork of the boat; one ar
row in the rail. two in the side of tho
wheelhouse, and one in the hull These
they stuck and did no damage, for,
strange to say, the Chinese them
selves had ceased firing their rifles
And now Hardy had the inex.
pressible joy of killing one of the
attacking party. who fell backward
into the water with his blazing arrow
in his hand
I'm getting the knack of It," he
muttered: Il shall be able to do il
more frequently now. Perhaps /,
alone, can stop them"
A moment later he heard sudden
shouting, the sound of running feet,
snarls of rage and the splash of heavy
bodies falling into the water party
of Chinese, that had crept down from
above in rowboats. was attempting to
board, and the Bouriats and crew
were repelling them savagely with bay

had no rifle, but he seized a stout
boat-hook, shod with sharp iron
point, and sank on his knees, shout
ing:
They shall never get my Chulia."
On came the wild line, splashing
through the water, which was now up
to the horses knees. When they had
traversed about one-third of the dis
tance. they stopped and deliberately
took aim. The general spoke sharply
to the princess. who sat down on the
deck behind the barricade. At this
moment the brigands fired and several

general stood erect, without flinching,
repeating some order to his men. His
voice sounded affectionate, almost
caressing.
Hardy raised his rife and measured

nodded at Hardy. The American ad-
justed his pince-nez and raised his
rife to his shoulder. 1t was a long
shot, but he had done better in the
Adirondacks at deer. His nerves were
good and his muscles as tense as
steel. Just as he was about to press
the trigger. the chief swung his rife
about his head. pointed at the boat
and came plunging on again. It was
q more difficult matter now, as the
man was In motion. Yet he was q

out looking around, that this was the
princess.

whispered. "the general has COM

Smulders dropped his boat-hook to
the deck, and running up to the Amer

pink palms.

sobbed.
There was, indeed, no further at.
tack on the part of the Chinese that
afternoon, and at night, before the
moon arose. the besieged received an
important recruit. A man heard
shouting from the Russian side was
allowed to approach and come on
board. Hardy could not see his face,
as lights were not allowed on deck,
but he thought he recognized the
voice, even though 1t was speaking

CHAPTER XIV.
Burning Arrows.

On deck all was silence, save for
the whispering, bubbling and plash-
ing of the treacherous Amur, or the
occasional cry of some lone water
fowl, high overhead, following the
course of the river. Hardy, coming
above after his interview with Roman
off, found the general on watch. Two
of the men also were awake, and were
listening and peering into the dark
ness with vigilance that proved that
they understood that their own lives
as well as the lives of all on board,
depended on their alertness. The
American also listened and watched,
straining his eyes to see if, here and
there in the darkness, darker forms
could be seen of the foe stealthily ap-
preaching.
Hardy had not been standing on the
deck more than 20 minutes, when he
felt hand laid lightly upon his arm
1t was so dark that he could not dis
tinguish the outline of the form stand.
