ANTELOPEY
the mystery of the Antelope has been
cleared I'm afraid you're doomed to
remain a landsman to the end Of your
days." prophesied Gerard after they
had listened to the beating Of the rain
for awhile in silence.
"YOu wouldn't blame ME if you were
in the same fix as l am" retOrted
Captain Jack. refilling his pipe.
How can you prove it, old man?
You don't know yourself what hap
pened to the Antelope"

"You know F'leck sprang to the
pumps the first thing. but she was dry
as bone. 1t was more as if she was
being pulled down by some gigantic
force You know the man at the wheel
and the watch had disappeared entire
" when we reached the deck. and be-
fore we had time to get the rest OF the
men out Of the fOcas'le she was drawn
under and we had to jump for our
lives"
"And you won't take command Of the

third interest i'm her at your own price.
and she will be a gold mine to us in
the fruit trade 1t isn't because she's
a steamer instead of sailing vessel.

mo, no. It's merely because | can't
trust myself to take command OF any
vessel until ! am assured that the fate
| Of the Antelope and the unfortunate
men of my crew are not the result of
my own negligence"
"Your own word. without that of
| Fleck's. IS sufficient for me. Jack. and
tOu know that your testimony as well
as his has fully satisfied the board OF
inquiry that you are blameless."
Il want to be satisfied myself: until
then I will not have the nerve to take
command of the sQuarest scow that
ever cleared from any port" said Cap
4 tain Jack deciSively
/ "Of course | know you're right
Jack, but it's blamed shame. because
the mystery of the Antelope will never

Captain Jack made no reply. He

hearth and drew them together in q
