savagoly. "ell learn wot for. Get up,

O'Rourke lay passive under the
storm of Holes profanity. He had
all but closed his eyes, and was watch
ing the pair from beneath his lashes.
Failing to elicit any response,
"'Asn't e moved?" demanded the cap
tain.

"Shammin'! Ere, I'll show i'm
'O'Rourke gritted his teeth and sup
pressed a groan as the toe Of Holes
heavy boot crashed into his ribs.
"Th' mons nae shamming," Denni-
son declared. Hes fair tainted"
Tainted hell" countered the cap
tain. Give is arm a twist. Denni-
SON."
The mate calmly disobeyed. The
arm-twist desired by the captain re-
quires the use of the twister's two
Sands, and stoutly as he defended his
opinion, the first officer was by no
means ready to put up his revolver.
He advanced and bent over the
Irishman, who lay motionless, his up
per lip rolled back to show his
clenched teeth. "Heugh!" exclaimed
the first officer, peering into his face,
his tone expressive Of the liveliest
concern. Without further hesitation
he dropped the revolver into his pocket
and-received a tremendous short-arm
blow IN the face
With a stifed cry he fell back,
clutching at a broken nose, and
sprawled at length. while ORourke,
leaping to his feet, deliberately put
a heel into the pit of Dennison's stom-
ach, thereby efectually eliminating
him as a factor in the further contro-
versy. simultaneously he advanced
upon Captain Hole.
But in the latter he encountered no
mean antagonist. The man-it has
been said-was as tall as and heavier
than the adventurer, and by virtue of
his position a competent and expert
enced rough-and-ready fighter. In a
breath he had lowered his head and,
believing like a bull, launched him
self toward O'Rourke.
The Irishman met the onslaught
with a stinging uppercut, which, new
ertheless, failed to discourage the
captain, who grapDled and began to

belabor O'Rourke with short, stabbing
blows on the side of the head, at the
same time endeavoring to trip him.
The fury Of his onset all but carried
the Irishman off his feet. At the same
time It defeated Holes own purpose.
O'Rourke watched his chance, seized
the mans throat with both hands and,
tightening his grip, fairly lifted him
off his feet and shook him as a ter
rier shakes rat, Then, with a grunt
of satisfaction, he threw the captain
from him and turned to face greater
odds.
The noise of the conflict had brought
the crew down upon the contestants.
Surrounded, he was rushed to the rail.
With that to his back he drew on his
reserve Of strength and, poising him
self, began to give his assailants per-
sonal and individual attention. They
pushed him close, snarling aud ours
ing, hindering one another in their
eagerness, and suffering variously for
their temerity. O'Rourke fought with
trained precision; his blows, lightning
quick, We're direct from the shoulder
and very finely placed and so straight
did he strike that almost from the
first his knuckles were torn and
bledlng from their impact upon flesh
and bone.

He felt, then, no sort of surprise at
the brevity Of the official visitation.
The inspector, accompanied by an
excessively urbane and suave Captain

glanced into the hold, asked a few
questions which would have been
pertinent had they not been entirely
perfunctory, and took his leave.

CLEANS Of light-the rays of a nearby
lantern running down knlfe-blades-
he conceded the moment imminent
when he must sever his connection
with the Pelican. Moreover he had a
shrewd suspicion that Hole was up
and only waiting for an opening to use
his revolver,
Leaping 10 the rail, he poised an
instant then dived far out from the
vessels side, down into the styglan
blackness Of the harbor water; a good
clean dive, cutting the water with
hardly a splash, he went down like an
arrow gradually swerving from the
straight line Of his fight into a long
arc-so long, indeed, that he was
well-nigh breathless when he came to
the surface, a dozen yards or more
from the Pelican.
Splitting out the foul harbor water
and with a swift glance over his shout
der that showed him the Pelican's
dark freeboard like a wall. and
cluster Of dark shapes hanging over
the rail at the top vaguely revealed
by lantern light, he struck out for the
nearest vessel employing the double
overland stroke, noisy but speedy.
That he heard no cry when he came
to the surface, that Hole had not de-
tected him by the phosphoresceuce.
and that he had held his hand from
firing, at first puzzled ORourke; but
he reasoned that Hole probably feared
to raise an alarm and thereby attract
much undesirable attention to himself
and his ship. In the course Of the first
few strokes, however. he managed to
peep again over his shoulder. and from
the activity on the Pelican's decks
concluded that he was to be pursued
by boat; which, in fact, proved to be
the case.
Fortunately the Pelican rode at an
Choir in waters studded thick with
other vessels, affording plenty Of hid
ing places on a night as black as that.
The adventurer made direct for the
first vessel, swan completely around
it, and by the time the Pelicans boat
was afoat and its rowers bending to
the oars, he was supporting himself by

floating on his back with only his face
out Of water.
Under these conditions, It was
small wonder that the boat missed him
so completely.
At length rested, the Irishman re-
leased his hold and struck out for
land at an easy pace.
Eventually he gained the end OF

Saying which he rose and clambered
to the top Of the quay-with the more
haste than good will in view of the
fact that the splashing of oars, the
dimly outlined shape of a boat head
ing directly for his refuge, had sud
denly become visible. OF course, it
might not be the Pelican; but
ORourke was too thoroughly im.

be willing to run unnecessary risks.
