through her brain. and shrek was

There was fierce rush. In which

A strong hand dragged her to her feet.
1t was Coke, swearing horribly. She
saw Hozier leap against the flood of
men.

heard him say. and he sent the leaders

to the captain, "There's chance IL we
can swing her clear"
Then the ship struck, and they were
all flung to the deck. They rose, some
how, anyhow, but the Andromeda, ap-
parently resenting the check, lifted
herself bodily, tilted bow upward and
struck again. A mass Of spray dashed
down upon the struggling figures who
had been driven a second time to their
knees. There was a terrific explosion
in the after hold. for the deck had

have missed him. And now, while the
vessel lay with straight keel in the set
Of the current, the national emblem of
Britain, with the Andromeda's code
flags beneath, futtered up the main
mast.
There are many imaginable condi-
tions under which Coke's deed would
be regarded as sublime; there are none
which could deny his splendid audac-
ity. The soldiers, who seemed to be
redoubled their efforts to hit the squat
Hercules who had beloved at them
and their fellow artillerists from the
bridge. Bullets struck the deck, lodged
in the masts, splintered the roof and
panels Of the upper structure, but
not one touched Coke. He coolly made
fast each flag in it's turn and hauled
away till the union jack had reached
the truck; then, drawn forward by a
hoarse cheer that came from the fore
castle. he turned his back on the ene-
my and swung himself down to the
fore deck.
AS he numbered along the deck he
mopped his face vigorously with
pocket handkerchief, and this homely
action helped to convince Iris that she
was mistaken In thinking him mad.
His words. too. when he caught sight
of her were not those of q maniac.
"Wel. Missy" he cried. "wot'll they

a thumb backward to indicate the un-

the after part of the ship.
The girl looked at him with an air
of surprise that would have been COM

She knew with q vague detiniteness
that death was near, perhaps unavoid-

that she or any other person on board
need feel any concern about the view

unaided to the side of the ship and
glanced ahead.

She felt herself clasped in HoZier's
arms and knew that he was climbing.
After few breathless seconds she
realized that they were standing on
the forecastle. where the captain and
many of the crew were clinging to the
windlass and anchor and cable and
| bulwarks to maintain their footing.
| Below, beyond stretch of unbroken
deck, the sea ragged against all that
was left Of the ship. The bridge just
showed above the froth and spume Of
sea level. The funnel still held by its
stays, but the mainmast was gone and
with it the string of flags.
The noise was deafening. overpower-
ing 1t sounded like the rattle of some
immense factory, yet voice was audi
bic through the din. for Hozier was
telling her not TO abandon hope. as the
fore part of the ship was firmly
wedged in Il cleft in the rocks. They
might still have chance when the
tide dropped.
SO that explained why it was so
dark where Il few moments ago all
was light. Iris pressed the salt water
out of her burning eyes and tried to
look up. On both sides of the narrow
triangle of the forecastle rose smooth
overhanging walls. black and dripping.
They were festooned with seaweed,
and every wave that Curlpl Up between
the ships plates and the rocks WAS
thrown Lack over the deck. while
streams of water fell constantly from
the masses Of weed. She gasped for
breath. The mere sight of this dismal
cleft with its superSaturated air space
made active the choking sensation of
which she was just beginning to be
aware.
IL cannot brcathe"' she sObbed. and
she would have slipped Off into the
welter Of angry foam beneath had not
Hozier tightencd a protecting arm
round her waist.
"Stoop down." he said.
She had dim knowledge that he
unbuttoned his coat and drew one of
its folds over her head. Ah. the. bless
ed relief of IT, Freed from the sitting
showers Of spray. she drew deep
breath CT two. How coed he was 10
her! How sure she was now that If
he had been spared by that disabling
shell he would have saved them all.
Bent and shy0udcl as she was. she
could see quite clearly downward. The
ship was breaking up with inconceiv-
able rapidity.
Iris heard CHASTITY yell from be-
Meath. and an errie face appeared above

fright and drink. He scrambled up. a
pitiable object. A couple of rats ran
over his body. and as ench whisked

TO return they had to use the un-
happy chief officer ms q causeway, and
the poor wretch's despairing cries were
heartrending. He was clinging for
dear life to a bolt in the deck when
Coke joined hands with Il sailor and
was thus enabled to reach him. Coke
pulled him up until he was lodged in
safety in front of the windass.
