Leslie. an American heiress, Lord Win
thrope, AN Englshman, and Tom Blake.
a brusque American, were passengers.
The three were tossed upon an unnhab-
tied island and were the only ones not
drowned. Blake recovered from drunk
en- stupor. Blake, Stunned on the boat,
because of his roughness, became hero
as preservcr of the helpless pair. The
Englishman was suing for the hand OF
Miss Leslie. Blake started to swim back
TO the ship to recover what was left.
Blake returned safely. Winthrope wasted
his last match on a cigarette, for which
he was scored by Blake. Their first meal
was "a dead fish. The trio started n ten
mile hike for higher land. Thirst at
tackled them. Blake was compelled to
carry Miss Leslie on account of weari-
ness. He taunted Winthrope. They en-.
tered the jungle. That night was passed
roostng high in tree. The next morn
ing they descended to the open again
All three constructed hats to shield them
selves from the sun. They then feasted
on cocoanuts. the only procurable food
Miss Leslie showed n liking for Blake
but detested his roughness. Led by Blake
they established "A home in some cliffs
Blake found a fresh water spring. Miss
Leslie faced an unpleasant situation

glimpse. But was not that enough?
"Of what use are such people as II"
she cried. THAT man may be rough
and coarse-even a brute; but he at
least does things-Tll show him that
l can do things, tool"
She fastened out around the corner
of the cliff to the spot where they had
spent the night Here she gathered
together the cocoanut husks, and seat
ing herself in the shade of the over
hanging ledges began to pick at the
coarse fiber. 1t was cruel work for
her soft fingers, not yet fully healed
from the thorn wounds. At times the
pain and an overpowering sense Of
injury brought tears to her eyes; still
more often she dropped the work in
despair of her awkwardness. Yet al
ways she returned to the task with re-
newed energy.
After no little perseverance, she
found how to twist the fiber and plat
it into cord. At best it was slow
work. and she did not see how she
should ever make enough cord for a
fish-line. Yet, as she caught the knack
more nimble she began to enjoy the
novel pleasure of producing something
She had quite forgotten to feel injured
and was learning to endure with pa
tience the rasping of the fiber between
her fingers, when Winthrope came
clambering around the corner of the
cliff
What is it?" she exclaimed, spring
ing up and hurrying to meet him. He
was white and quivering, and the look
in his eyes filled her with dread.
Her voice shrilled to a scream:
Hes dead!"
Winthrope shook his head

Yes; after we had fetched what We

bush all across the foot of the cleft
Really one would not have thought
there was that much dry wood in Sc

rill the grass and brush hared like

cleft far quicker than we had ex
