Yet that was no time to Judge him
for a minor fault. O'Rourke herded

the woman stood above the captain.

CHAPTER XIV.

Mrs. Prynne, reused out of her semi
stupor by O'Rourke's cry, with tome
return Of her habitual clearness of
thought, stepped to the companionway
and called for her maid.
O'Rourke passed a hand over his
eyes, and brought It away black with
blood. but was no more than half
aware OF this. Dazed and heart-brok-

childlik and loglike sleep that was
ever his. Dravos. below. his ears deaf
ened by the mighty chant of his en-.
gines, had been no more conscious of
the drama on deck than had Danny.
ORourke caught the boy with hands
that gripped his shoulders cruelty, and
shook him awake, then methodicaIly
booted him up the steps to the deck.
Once here, Danny came to his prop
er senses and fell with a will to the
tasks O'Rourke set for him. With Co
cile he lifted the unconscious captain
and bore him down to his berth. then
left him to the ministrations of mis-
tress and maid and returned to throw
overheard the last corpse, that OF the
lascar whom the serang had set to
Stay the adVenturer from behind.
O'Rourke himself proceeded to the
bridge, where he found the helmsman
still at the wheel. soberly keeping the
vessel on her course. The circum-
stance at the time surprised him; but
1t afterwards was developed by dint
OF cross-examination OF the remainder
Of the crew that the serang had spe-
cially exempted Quick and Dravos
from the general massacre, they being
held necessary to the navigation OF
the ship. He had likewise put strict
injuctions on the helmsman not to de-
sert the wheel. whatever the tide OF
battle, whether for or against his
brethren. The stabbing OF Quick
seemed to have been accidental, oil
necessary under circumstances unfore
seen.
AS a matter of fact, the remainder
of the lascars were thoroughly coweC
and proved unbelievably docile for the
balance Of the trip.
Thus It was that the voyage of thu
Rance from Alden to Bombay wa
pushed through without further fatal
ity. To the lrishman. however. mus

sardonically, his eyes fixed upon the
woman who had set at naught his
plans
O'Rourke tried to call a warning to
her, for It was plain that she was ap-
palled by what she had done, needless
of all but the man she had killed; but
It was az If the bullet that creased his
temple had temporarily p ralyzed

Powerless Che believed), he watched
the serang gather himself together,
like some gaunt cat, and spring; in
two strides he would have been upon
the woman and the night had been
crowned with its most pitiful crime.
Yet in midair, O'Rourke saw the man
falter and fall back. dropping the
kris ami clutching frantically at moth
ing.
Stupidity the adventurer saw the
smoke trickling from the muzzle OF
his own revolver and knew thrt, some
how, he had managed to pull the trig-
ger. His heart leapt in his breast, so
keen was his gratitude. Trembling
in every limb, he essayed a second
time to fire and put a final period to
the serang's career. But his shot
went wide and the cylinder damned
so that the hammer would not rise
a second time. With an oath he let
go the rail and attempted to bridge
the distance between himself and the
lascar, who was now at a considera.
BILE distance Keeling away toward the
rail-
But his overtaxed strength, Slapped
by loss of blood, failed him; and mall
ice infused new vigor into the serang,
new power to accomplish his final
fiendish act
Grinning with anguish, the man
leapt away from O'Rourke, staggered
and. Jerking back his arm, flung the
Pool Of Flame from him with all his
might.
" hourKe paused, petrlned with do
SPAR. The great stone. glinting in
the moonlight like the very heart OF
fire, described long and flaming arc
and the sea leapt up with
hiss to welcome 1t and 1t was gone.
A bitter cry broke from the Irish
mans lips; he made for the man,
whom he would gladly have killed
with his bare hands. But again he
failed. The lascar. perhaps guessing
his intention, was at the last too quick
for him.
BY supreme effort the gaunt &C.
rang seized the rail. lifted himself up
on 1t, and dropped over the side, fol-
lowing that to win which he had CIV
en- his life.
