ARD, driving his sloop farther
and farther into the tumbling
Atlantic, had troubles of his own,
which, in man of less balance and
determination, would Danish all
thought of passing events on beach
or billow far from his thoughts.
After the tongue lashing he had
taken from Casco, he had put out
to sea mechanically, with some
thing as near hopelessness in his
heart as he had known in the COM
paratively short space of his life
and, curiously enough, with the
same thought working in him that
Life Saver Welsh had voiced on
the beach at Ships Bottom.
why not keep on going?"
There was no mortal reason why he
should return to the empty cabin
on the bay shore. His sole posses
sions he had with him-the sloop,
double-barreled duck gun which
lay on the thwart beside him, and
the clothes he wore; nothing else
but-his love for Molly Barnes.
Gloomily he stared inshore,
where the white lifeboat was put
ting off to intercept the Nancy Lee,
now looming large in the south.
Easy to see through Casco's game!

He too saw the squall following
the Nancy Lee: but Skipper
Bunker had the reputation of being
weather-wise as an old gray mule.
That didn't bother him.
With his skilful handling, it
would be an easy matter to work
the sloop down for a last glimpse
of the girl he loved, when Casco
took her off. But Hazard hesi-
tated. He was sailor. with full
knowledge about coasting schoon-
ers, and the erratic handling of the
Nancy Lee puzzled him. Still. no

vice.-anyway, as stepping stone
to better things, with the Revenue

had come home to Hazard that,
guilty or not, requital had fallen
on him: with opportunity before
him to carve out his own career,
he was blocked at the outset by a
record of i'll deeds, not of his max
ing. but no less drastic in their
aftermath.
Even as Casco spoke, it all
flashed through his mind. As the
big life saver turned away with
shrug of his massive shoulders,
Hazard spoke, quietly as he had
received the stroke of fate.
"You mean I'm not to see Molly
Miss Barnes-again?
Casco swung on him savagely.
"My wife's sister is not for such as

indoors, and Hazard, inwardly
