the boat alter its course, put aside the
megaphone. And again peace brooded
over Alden.
On nearer approach to the tramp,
ORourke's smile broadened to a
pleased grin, and airily he waved a
hand to the man with the voice.
Jimmy Quick!" he observed with
unfeigned delight. Faith, | begin to
DelleVe that me luck holds, after ALL"
From the bottom step of the tramp's
ladder he tossed a coin to the boat
man, then mounted to the deck. In
continently the stout man fell heavily
upon his neck with symptoms of ex-
IRENE joy. A lull succeeding his first
transports, he wiped, his eyes, beamed
upon his guest and suggested insinuat-
ingly: Drink"
"Brevity's ever the soul of your
wit, captain said O'Rourke. 81 will"
And he meekly followed Quick's bare
heels forward to the officers quarters
beneath the bridge
Having set him in a chair, Quick,
still a-gurgle, wandered off, unearth-
ed bottle, beamed upon his visitor,
asked a dozen questions in as many
breaths and, without waiting for an
answer, waddled off again to return
with brace of dripping soda-water
bottles. ''Schweppe's, he said pat
ting their rotund forms tenderly;
land the last in our lockers-all in
your honor, colonel
"So?" commented O'Rourke. Hard
up, is it? IT'S not the O'Rourke who
would be wishing We i'll, captain, dear,
but, faith, meself's not sorry to hear
| that word this day. I'm thinking me
luck is sound, after all"
Quick had again vanished. Present
! ly O'Rourke heard his mighty voice
! booming down an engine-room ventila-
| tor. 'Dravos! Dravos, you loafer!
Come up and see a strange sight"
He came back, still vibrant with an
elephantine sort of joy. "O'Rourke, y
he painted, hopping damp brow with
the sleeve Of his jacket, you're a
good sight for sore eyes. Never did
we meet up with you yet but there
came a run of luck"
"'Tis good hearing" said O'Rourke
smiling.
A slight little man slipped bald
head, relieved by ragged patches of
gray hair about the temples, apollo
getically into the cabin door.
'The top of the day to We, Dravos!
said O'Rourke loudly, for little Dravos
was partially deaf. "And how are the
engines?"
The engineer carefully hitched uI
his trousers and regarded the wander
er with temperate geniality.
Good afternoon, Colonel O'Rourke,
he replied, clipping his words mincing

CHAPTER XIII.

The day came out of the East with
windy swagger; as Quick had fore
told, series of thunderstorms swept
the sea before dawn, so that it, like
the sky, seemed newly washed, clean
and brilliant
O'Rourke relieved Quick at four
bells of the morning watch and kept
the deck for the remainder of the day,
his meals being brought to him on
the bridge. His duties were simple
enough, requiring little more than
display of the habit of authority
which sat so well on his broad snour
ders. 1t was no great trick to keep
the crew in order: they went about
their work peaceably enough and
showed no signs of desiring to renew
their disputations. Otherwise he had
to keep an eye upon the helmsman
and see that he held the Rance to the
course prescribed by Quick; and that
| was nothing difficult to a man of av
erage intelligence. Naught but deep
water lay between them and Bombay,
so long as direct course was shaped
and maintained.
AS the sunlit watches wore out and
| nothing untoward took place,
| O'Rourke's grim apprehensions dissi-
pated into shadows. He began to be-
lieve with Quick that the affair of the
winged knife was merely hapchance
| accident, quite unprecedented.
| Below decks, Dravos and Danny
were standing watch-and-watch, with
clockwork regularity, where the for
mers beloved engines were justifying
his confidence and pride in them and
| clicking off their twenty knots with
| out hitch.
Now Danny happened to have "off"
| the first afternoon watch. O'Rourke
| from the bridge saw him come up the
! engine-room companion ladder, dive
into the messroom for his dinner, and
later emerge, picking his teeth and
grinning self-complacency until his
master could have kicked him, had
such a course been polite before the
crew, or even consistent with the dig
nifty of his Office.
"A word to say to We, sor, If may
make so bold
O'Rourke glanced at the helmsman,
and having long since made up his
mind that the man was competent,
left him in possession of the bridge
for a space, and Joined Danny below.
What is it?"
Danny lowered his voice to hoarse
whisper. ''Kape yer eye on thot black
divvle up there, sOr, for the love OF
Hiven, and don't look surprised al
anything"
O'Rourke moved few PAGES aft
along the rail, to point whence he
cnnld see the head and shoulders OF
The Bourbon news. [volume] (Paris, Ky.) 1895-19??, 1912-02-09

that his engines were in admirable
condition. Such was their invariable
state. For an assistant he impressed
into service none other than Danny
Malone, to Danny's intense dismay.
O'Rourke took upon himself the du-
ties of first officer under Captain
Quick. The Irishman cared little for
the sea, knew less of first officers
duties; but it was patent that Quick
could not stand every watch, and
C'Rourke was not to be daunted by
any such slight matter as nautical in
experience.
In the knowledge that they were
safely off at last there was poignant
relief to the wanderer, as he stood by
Quick's side, on the bridge, with mid
night imminent and the ship still and
peaceful. ''I'll stand the night watch
es," the captain announced. 'By
morning We'll be far enough out for
you to take hold without spraining the
art of seamanship. G'dnight."
Thank We" said O'Rourke. In fact,
he had long been sensible that he was
very drowsy; the night wind in his
face had something to do with that
Good night" he returned, and went
down the ladder to the deck.
At it's foot he paused, turning curl
ously; it seemed that surely there
must be some serious trouble afoot In
the crew The Irishman could see in
the glimmer of the forecastle lantern
confused blur of naked, shining
brown bodies and limbs, apparently
inextricably locked. A scream rang
shrill and there followed the sound OF
a heavy fall.
Overhead, on the bridge, Quick wIs
roaring himself hoarse, without effect
The sounds of shutting, of blows
| harsh breathing, stified cries, contin
| ued. A knot of the contestants swept
ure. Something shot singing through
the air; the wind of it famed
! O'Rourke's cheek
With an unconscious, surprised oath
O'Rourke stepped aside, his hand go
ing toward his revolver. The missile
struck a stanchion, glanced and fel
gathering into the scuppers. Revolver
in hand, he went forward to the raj
overlooking the struggling rabble OF
the deck below. But they seemed in
tent only on their private differences
and Quick's roars were bringing then
to their senses. Gradually the tumul
subsidized, the contestants separating
and sinking forward to their quarters
ct may have been chance,
O'Rourke conceded a bit doubtfully
He swung about and moved aft slow
ly, examining the deck intently. In
moment or two he stopped and picket
up long, thin-bladed knife, double
! edged and keen as a razor. The poin
was broken, having doubtless beef
snapped off at the moment Of contac
with the deck-house. O'Rourke turnet

He returned to the bridge, calm,

"Certainly-always armed when In
dealing with these devils. Why?"
O'Rourke showed him the knife
Quick laughed at his theory. ''Noth

Come, come, Out with it, Danny"
Sure, sor, tbs the serang. Have

deck, where the parsonage in question
was standing at ease. What of him."
he inquired, running his eye over the
fellows superb proportions.
otis nawthin' I'd take me oath to,
sor, but I'm thinkin' he's the man who
boarded the Panjnab at Suez, sor.
And as for the naygur run against
on the s'loon deck, yer honor, he's his
mortal twin
"Ah," commented O'Rourke. Thank
you, Danny"
He continued to watch the serang
until the latter, as If Influenced by the
fixity of the Irishman's regard, turned
and stared directly into O'Rourke' S
eyes. For full minute he gave him
look for look, dark eyes steadfast and
| unyielding above his fine aquiline
nose, then calmly turned his back, re-
Stunning his contemplation of the tur
| bulent horizon
An instant later Quick came up to
relieve O'Rourke, and, eight bells
sounding, Danny dived below to take
| DraVos' place. O'Rourke, unpleasant
ly impressed by the incident, still for
| bore to mention it to either of the
ships owners; he retired to think il
over, and spent long hour consum
ing an Indifferent cigar and studying
the cracks in the bulkhead between
his room and the cabin.
Without profit, however Lacking
more substantial proof than Danny's
suspicious, he could arrive at no def
mite conclusion.
The night passed without incident;
the second day dawned the counter
part of its predecessor, and wore
away quietly enough.

He accepted his glass with dis
a short nod to the guest, as one who
sacrifices his personal inelinations to

after-glow of benevolence, O'Rourke
concluded that the drink had not been
unwelcome.
