CHAPTER XIII.
In Which We Sail Due South.


AS sank down into the recosses of
cushioned chair in the cabin, my
spirits at lowest ebb, / glanced up al
the telltale compass-we were already
headed due south.
Those days and nights following,
while serving to bear us continually
deeper into the immense eXpanse OF
water that concealed the mystery
awaiting us in the great South sea,
contained little of incident directly re
la,ing to this narrative. Day following
day that same wide circle of the sky
came down to unite with the circle of
the waters. 1t was almost as though
we remained motionless, "a painted
ship upon a painted ocean; only the
figures on the paper, the pins on the
chart, the sharp stem cleaving the
waves asunder, and the oily wake
astern leaving us aware of steady
progression through this trackless
desert of the sea.
We passed somewhat to the west
ward of Juan Fernandez, so far
out that only with a glass from the
foretop could the distant peaks be
dimly dec!phered in blue, misty blots
against the sky. Already Tuule had
banked the fires, and spread the Sea
Queens canvas, reaching to the west
ward to get the most possible out Of
the fresh breeze. The Sea Queen
changed motive power and appearance
as il by magic, the square yards hid
ing the jauntiness of her keel, and
concoaliag the rake of her masts, the
white sails believing out before the
wind, sending her swooping forward
through the water like a great bird
leaning over until at times her lee
rail was all awash with white foam
and her forward decks glistening with
spume.
Tuttle drove her recklessly, holding

slid open the door of the charthouse
and looked in upon us.

he said, shortly, "and I need TO doctor

in obedience to his gesture.

he returned, grimly. The result will
be the same in any case. Well, De
Nova, what are you waitin' for?'

Tuttle's solemn Countenance broke
into the semblance of grin.

sounds without. "Sacre, l wonder

We both sat, breathing hard from
our late eXertions, listening anxiously,
yet with vastly differing emotions,

prove capture, or, at least, that some
chance discovery by the officer visit
ing us would result in the release of
