O'Rourke relieved Quick at four
bells of the morning watch and kept

which sat so we'll on his broad snout.
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

to keep an eye upon the helmsman

was nothing difficult to man of av-

water lay between them and Bombay,
so long as a 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 hapchalce
accident, quite unprecedented.

Good night, colonel she said softly
and as she watched him swing away
laughed lightly and strangely. Later
still standing outside her door, she
sighed, and an odd light glowed deep
in her eyes Of grayish-green. Signing
again, and with another low laugh
that rang a thought derisive, as
though she were flouting the man
whose service she accepted so gladly,
she turned and vanished within her
stateroom.
AS she did so, the opposite door
that of an inside stateroom on the
same gangway-was opened cautious
ly. A turbaned head peered out, it's
eyes glancing swiftly up and down the
corridor. Long since, however, the
excited passengers had been reassur-
ed and had returned to their berths:
the coast was clear.
The lascar stepped noiselessly out,
shut the door without sound, and
sped swiftly forward: long, brown
man with an impassive cast of coun-
tenance in which his eyes shone with
a curious light.
AS he swung into the space at the
foot of the saloon companionway, he

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 up
his trousers and regarded the wander.
er with temperate geniality.
Good afternoon, Colonel O'Rourke, y
he replied, clipping his words mincing-
ly Very nicely, thank you.
He shook hands, sat down on the edge
of berth with the manner of one
who fears he intrudes, and glanced
searchingly at Quick. IF you're 60
ing to serve the drinks, cap'n," he
snapped acidly, hump YOURSELF"
He accepted his glass with dis
passionate air and drank hastily after
a short nod to the guest, as one who
sacrifices his personal inclinations to
the laws of hospitality. But from his
after-glow of benevolence, O'Rourke
concluded that the drink had not been
unWelcome.
What brings you here?" demanded
Quick in subdued roar.
I've job for We, If so be it ye're
not otherwise engaged-and if We can

Quick slapped a huge thigh delight

to it,"

with asperity.
"'Tis merely question of speed,
explained the Irishman. Can We make
Bombay in four days-be the fiji

"Dravos," roared Quick, chow much
speed can you get ont of those
damned engines?"
Twenty knots snapped Dravos.
when can you sail?"

"If," stipulated Quick, Il can pick
up crew in Aden."
"'Tis settled then"
We'll need bit of money in ad

Dravos rose and sided towards the
door, faraway look in his pale eyes
