CHAPTER XVIII.


The coming of night found our stu
alton less promising thick veil OF

barometer was falling slowly, pres.
aging the approach of storm; yet

exception of these thickening cloud.

southwest, their wildness reflected in
the darkening sea. and the continuous
thunder of waves along the ice-front
blocking our passage. 1 visited the
engine and boiler rooms, ordered half
speed and prompt attention to signals,
took one last searching glance about
the dimming horizon, and finally
threw myself, without undressing, on
my bunk for brief rest below.
AS l lay there. thinking OF that wild
scene without, discovered sleep i'm
possible. Was i doing right thus to
hold on for further southing? MY
conscience was not altogether clear,
FOR | realized that 1t would be luck
rather than seamanship that would
take us through and bring us safely
out again. Only some mystery Of
Providence had thus far given us
passage, had held the wind TO anoth-
er point of the compass, beating back
the invading foes and yielding to us
an open sea. But would such fortune
last--a day, two days, more? We
could race northward with the ice, but
what about that vast field stretching
to the northwest? III by some shift of
wind it were to close in, the helpless
Sea Queen would be crushed like an
eggshel. AND Lady Darlington had
said she trusted me implicitly. Was |
showing myself worthy by thus push
ing the yacht deeper into danger?

ly for copy of the Scriptures, or any
book containing the burial service.
One might possibly have been discov-
cred hidden away in the locked chests,
but | did not feel authorized to break
these open on such quest, and so re-
turned to the deck with nothing to
guide me in the services to be con-
Quoted. The boatswain, assisted by
two seamen, had prepared the bodies
for their last long voyage, and while
the crew gathered in body on the
snow-covered deck, the dead, shrouded
beneath white sheets, were silently
borne forth from cabin and forecastle
and placed reverently upon planks
balanced across the rail.
/ should greatly have preferred
Lady Darlington to remain below dur
ing the ceremonies. There is much de-
preston about such burial scenes at
sea, especially so in our circumstances
and surroundings. But she insisted
upon being present, and so at the last
moment | returned to the cabin and
escorted both her and Celeste to the
deck. 1t was dismal, melancholy
scene, and | did not wonder at the
slight shiver with which her ladyship
glanced about. The swiftly descending

beneath the feet of the men, the bare
spars overhead; the low-hying, dun
colored clouds; the gray, tumbling
waters; the low growl OF the ice as
the waves battered its front; the ST.
lent semiciTcle of men standing mo-
tionless except for their shutting feet;
and those two white-draped figures ~ly-
ing extended across the rail-all COM
bined to form a grim sea-picture the
memory OF which can never dissolve.
Protected somewhat from the sharp
wind by the cabin the men had flung
aside their mufflers, so that their
weatber-beaten faces, most of them
heavily bearded. were plainly revealed.
| could not but be impressed with the
motley crowd as the lineaments Of
negro, Kanaka, and every variety Of
white degenerate were thus exposed.
Their uneasy, stunning feet, and the
Impotence depicted on their faces,
aroused me to the requirements of the
moment. | advanced to the rail, stand
ing beside the corpse of the mate.
Lads" ! said soberly, when we
bury shipmates at sea there is a
solemnity about the simple ceremony
unknown TO the land. Far away from
friends and home we give the body up
to the great ocean to keep for eterni-
~. Yet we are sailors, long accus-
toned TO the vicissitudes and perils OF
the deep; we have parted with ship
mates before in many seas, and not a
few among you look forward to the
time when comrades will be called
upon to perform a similar service of
respect over your bodies. Even now
we sail forward into great danger,
and none among us can prophesy what
the morrow may bring OF either life

"Dorman is the most dangerous man

alarm rang out.
"He has brains and cunning
which never sleeps. Hope Of escape
never leaves him and his every
thought is concentrated upon plans tc

Though vocalists of exceptional
merit, the glee club was unhappy in its
selections. There was a lack Of gin

asked the warden to request some
thing lively and prisoners who heard
him smiled approvingly.

Guards sprang to their feet, their eyes

hands on revolvers they watched those
who might be expected to lead an
