1he ship slowed perceptIbly. and
Hozier busted himself with the lead
which a sailor was swinging on the
starboard side from the small plat
form Of the accommodation ladder.
Iris did not know what was said. but
the queer figures repeated to Coke
seemed to be satisfactory. HeadIands
and hills crept nearer. The rocky
arms of the island closed In on them.
A faint scent as of sweet grasses
reached them from the shore. Iris
could see several people, nearly all Of
them men in uniform, hurrying about
with an air of excitement that betok-
ened the unusual. Perhaps a steamers
advent on the south side OF the island
was novelty.
Now they were In fairly smooth
roadstead. The remnants Of the gale
were shouIdered away from the ship
by the towering cliff that jutted out
on the left Of the bay. The crew were
mostly occupied in clearing blocks and
tackle and swinging two Iifeboats out
ward on their davits.
"All ready forrard?" roared Coke.
Hozier ran to the forecastle. He found
the carpenter there. standing by the
windlass brake.
"AII ready, sirF' be cried
Coke nodded to him.
Give her thirty-fve," he said, mean
Ing thereby that the anchor should be
allowed thirty-five fathoms of chain.
The turbulent current was surging
across the bows with the speed of a
mill race, SO Coke brought the vessel
round until she lay broadside with the
land and headed straight against the
set of the stream. 1t was his intent to
drop anchor while IN that position and
help any undue strain on the cable by
an occasional turn Of the propeller.

of rending iron and an instant stop

into the noise Of the blow came a loud
report from the land, but. that In its
turn was drowned by the hiss of steam
from the exhaust.
Coke appearedsfo be dumfounded for
an instant Recovering himself, he
ran to the starboard side, leaned over,
looked down at a torn plate that
showed its Jagged edges just above
the water line and then lifted blaz-
Ing face toward point halfway up

carried him into the forecastle, where
she found some Of the crew who had
scurried there like rabbits to their bur-
row when the first shell crashed into
the engine room.
Iris fine eyes darted lightning at
them.
"You call yourselves men," she cried
shrilly. "yet you leave one Of your
officers lying on deck to be shot at by

when, If ever, he reappeared.
A bullet struck the front frame Of
the chart room, ana several panes OF
glass were shattered with q fearful
din. That decided her. Coke, If he
were not killed. would surely be driv-
en- out. She sprang to her feet and
literally ran down the steep ladder to
the saloon deck. Through the open
door of the officers mess she witnessed
another bizarre aot-an act quite as
extraordinary In its way as Cokes
jump over the steersman's body. In
the midst Of this drama of death and
destruction Watts was standing there,
with head thrown back and uplifted
arm, gulping down tumberful Of
some dark colored liquid, draining 1t
to the dregs, while he held black
bottle 10 the other hand.
Then from somewhere she heard a
gruff voice:
"Hev' We shut Off steam, Macfar-

the answer.
So some of the men were doing their

Even now, at the very gate of eternity,

thought brought ray Of comfort.
She was about to look for the speakers
when bullet drilled hole In panel
close to her side. She began to run
again, for terrified glance through
the forward gangway showed that the
ship was quite close to the land,
where men In blue uniforms, wearing
curlously shaped hats and white gait
ers, were scattered among the rocks,
some standing, some kneeIing, some
prone. but all taking steady aim.
