CHAPTER X.
Once! Twice! Thrice!

The cabin, of course, was empty. The lieutenant had as yet enjoyed no opportunity for inspecting it, and now that he had. the chance, he hesitated He would not have stood upon cere- mony moment had the conditions been other than they were. He would have made direct for the captains stateroom; and afterward have ex- amined the others.
 But the presence on the ship of the captains daughter complicated mat ters. She might be in her dead fathers cabin, or she might be in some other, and after the experience of few moments ago, he hesitated about intruding upon her grief where ever she might be. Yet it was clear ly necessary for him to examine the ships papers, and if it had not been, the desire that possessed him for a further acquaintance with the young woman who had so charmingly mas queraded in mems clothes would have urged him to action.
 By way of preliminary, he coughed once, and again more loudly. So far as he could observe, there was no re- sponse. Possibly he had not been heard above the natural noises of the straining ship in the high seas.
 Grown desperate, he stepped toward the door of the captains cabin, or at least what in ships of that class was usually the captains cabin, and tapped lightly upon it. After waiting a mo- ment for a response and receiving none, he opened it, only. to be con- fronted by very surprised and angry woman in some disarray of clothing He had time to mark, however, that
Imperial Valley press., 1910-12-24

to see more of that young lady, and he realized that the presence of an- other man behind a thin bulkhead would effectually bar any condolences or other conversation, and put a damper upon an acquaintance which bade fair to relieve the tedium of what would probably be an otherwise event less voyage to England.
 And the more he thought of it the less he liked the idea of any future relationship whatsoever between Mr.. Owen Conant and Miss Susan Hub- bell. It went distinctly against his sense of the universal fitness of things that woman so beautiful, and so ac- complished in so strange way, should be wasted upon such a seadog-gruff, unmannerly, and uncouth-as the mate.
 He had met and been thrown in the society of women of the highest so- clal station all his life, but he had never seen anyone of precisely the characteristics of this American girl, and he was eager to know more of her. With that end in view, he turned presently, after observing the course and speaking word or two with his young subordinate, and re-entered the cabin.

When we reach England he will be tried for murder, and have no doubt he will be hanged, as he deserves. Did any of you men see the blow?
 Many of them had, but they an swered not word. In one sense the boatswain, by braving the lieutenant, unified their antagonism to England, which was even greater than their hatred of the mate.
 You will give me your word about this, sir," continued the lieutenant to the mate, although you refused it in the othef case'
 And for what?" cried the New Englander.
 That you will refrain from doing him any harm, and that you will keep him well guarded"
 "I'll keep him well guarded" was the bitter enswer.
 And your hands off him?"
 "Oh, very we'll" said the mate re- luctantly, for even he could. see that the orderly course of the law was the best; q give you my word. I'll do him no harm. You've no objection to bread and water for him, though, have you?"
 None whatever" answered the lieu tenant. But remember, hands off" .1ll remember. Have you heard what caused the whole trouble?"
 q have heard something about it. He was mutinous, and was fogged and out of revenge"-
 That's not quite all," returned MT COnant. He offered a deadly insult to the captains daughter It was her who repulsed your boat attack over the stern, and in the darkness this hound ran up on the poop, seized her loved her"
 DO you know, MT. Conant," said the lieutenant quietly-he was very quiet young man, as a rule-"I am all most sorry that you gave me your word to keep your hands off of him."
 q can take it back if you want me to" returned the other promptly
 "No," said the lieutenant "The law must deal with him, but I sometimes find the law very irksome thing"
 The boatswain opened his mouth to speak.
 The lieutenant turned on him in fury.
 Not a word!" he roared, with a sudden burst of passion. "If I con suit my inclination you would be swinging from that yard-arm I am saving your life, and it behooves you 10 be silent. Go forward all, now Good morning, MT. Conant, a pleasant voyage to you, and may you find the forehold agreeable"
 Somehow the rough, ill-tempered mate had got on the edge of the Eng fish officers nerves in turn for all his polite way of dealing with him, and he was glad to see him go forward. Indeed, he would not have offered him choice of places of confinement, but would have had him locked in his cab in, had it not been for Miss Susan fubbell

GET TITLE TO TOWN.
Realty Company Noe Ozcner
of Record of WOOdmere.

In point of intricacy. the passing of title
to the entire town of Woodmere, Long
Island. just closed between the seller, r. L.
Burton, and the new owner, the Woodmere
Realty Company, is said to surpass any
similar transaction in many years
The property comprises $40 acres and
large number of beautiful houses. For
sixty days a corps of engineers and sur
veyors has been at work measuring dis
tances and angles The large force of the
Title Guarantee and Trust Company at its
branch office III Jamaica has devoted prac-
tically it's entire energies to this transac-
tion for some time. and the actual closing
of the deal, after all the papers had been
drawn, began on December II and has
taken about ten business days.
One novel feature OF the transaction was
that the purchasing company gave back no
fewer than 1S1 separate mortgages on the
property, for a total of 81 1769, 500. All OF
these mortgages are for five years, at AZ
per cent, and have been made to facilitate
future transfers of the property in smaller
parcels
The transferring of titles by the Wood
mere Realty Company to various purchas-
ers to whom it had sold plots and dwelling
houses since ii contracted to buy the prop
erty, about two months ago, was begun
yesterday. These resales have involved 665
lots as well as four houses. the sites of
which made additional 151 lots. Aside
from two large purchases by realty com
panies, these properties have been taken
by twenty-six individual buyers at valua-
tion of nearly S1.100.000.
Extensive development work at Wood
mere will be begun in the near future. A
contract will be awarded within few
days calling for between S350,000 and $500 600
worth of dredging in Woodmere Bay and
Mill Creek The creek is to be converted
into a 200-foot waterway, with depth OF
fifteen feet. 1t will also be Strengthened
and extended northward 10 within a short
distance of Broadway. Woodmere. Incl
dentally, this work will result in the recla-
nation of about 100 acres of land.

boro Corporation is holding and developing
considerable property in Long Island city

Negotiations for this property have been
under way for some time There was some
little trouble experienced in securing some
of the parcels from the various owners, but
the deal was effected after terms on the
largest part had been agreed on.
The property is five miles from the Penn

for home sites and ii is the intention of
the greensboro Corporation TO develop it at
once.
Edward a. MacDougall, of the Queens
boro Corporation, said yesterday in regard
to the purchase:
1T is a little premature to discuss the
character of the development as title has

a small part of the number Immediately

Those persons who have not closely fol-

in Fourth avenue have no adequate idea
of the transformation which the avenue is
bound to undergo in a year or two. IT is
q significant fact of these operations that
they are all huge enterprises, covering
