Land, intrigued. He interrupted his
vigil to investigate such sources of In
formation as he had at hand
In the cabin again, with the lamp
turned high, he dragged out a chart
number 1l2 of the admirable series
published by the Coast and Geodetic
Survey, deineating with wonderful
accuracy the hydrography of Buz-
Yards Bay and Vineyard and Nan
tucket Sounds, together with the topo-
graphy of the littoral and islands.
With pencil 1t was easy to trace the
Echo's course from New Bedford har-
Dor through Quick's Hole; a little to
the east of which, say of Robinson's
Hole. the fog had overtaken them. To
the south and east of that point lay
Martha's Vineyard, for all the world
like trussed fowl In profile. And
there-yes, due south of Gay Head
was No Mans Land, its contour much
that of an INFANTS shoe, the heel dig
ging into the Atlantic. Comparison
with the scale demonstrated it to be
roughly mile and five-eighths long by
a mile wide-extreme measurements.
Coast stared at 1T with renewed In
terest, for the first time convinced of
the existence of spot so oddly
named. A number Of black dots along
it's northern shore seemed to indicate
buildings-but Appleyard had distinct

back to the deck
There was nothing to be seen, moth
ing to do.
He fidgeted
Then out of the confusion of his
temper In which ennui stalked In sin
gular companionship with perturba-
ton, he CHANGED upon an odd end of
thought, one of those stray bits of in
formation, mostly culled from desul-
tory reading, that clutter the back Of
every mans brain.

Forthwith he scrambled out upon
the stern, from which. after some in
tricate maneuvering and by dint Of
considerable physical ingenuity, he
managed to suspend himself, at peril
of ducking, with his head near the,
water
He was promptly justified of his
pains; the theory proved itself-in
that one instance at least; between
the slowly undulant floor, CLASSY and
colorless, and the ragged fringe of
the mist curtain. he discovered

covering from his constrained posi-

Curiosity gripped him strongly, eau
ton contending vainly; he knew quite
we'll that he would never bide content
until he had probed for the cause and
source and solved the mystery of that
wild cry in the night just gone.
Moreover. he felt in measure re-
sponsible for Appleyard. Surely there
must be some strange reason for his
protracted absence

CHAPTER W.-(contlnucd.)

Cleaning my pipe. Go on and
sleep; your times not up yet"
"What's o'clocko"
Applcyard inumbisd something .u-
coherent as he stepped out on deck;
and Coast turned over and slept
again
1t seemed hours later when he found
himself abruptly wide awake, in
tremor of panic anxiety bred of a
fancy that human voice had cried
out in mortal terror, somewhere
within his hearing. He started up in
formed by that sixth sense we call in
tuition that conditions abroad the
Echo had changed radically since the
last time he had fallen asleep; and
It seemed no more than second from
the moment his eyes opened until
he found himself in the cockpit, gaz-
ing dazedly into the inscrutable
heart of the fog.
At first, In his confusion, he could
see nothing amiss. The Echo was rid
ing on a quiet tide and an even keel
with scarcely any perceptible motion
The encompassing darkness was in
tense, unfathomable. profound; only
the forward light showed q dim halo
of yellow opalescence near the mast
head. and the faint glow from the
cabin lamp quivered on slowly swirl
ing convolutions of dense white va
por, like smoke The port and star
board lights had been extinguished,
as they should be when vessel
comes to anchor.
What. then had interrupted his
slumbers?
He turned with a question shaping
on his lips.
Appleyard was nowhere visible.
Coast required some minutes before
he was convinced of the fact of the
little mans disappearance. But the
cabin proved as empty as the cock
pit, and the tender was gone.
The cabin chronometer chimed the
hour Of four In the morning.
AS the echoes died. as though they
had evoked the genius of that place,
strange and dreadful cry rent the
silence, sounding shrill across the wa
ters, yet as II coming from great
