 Well. what do you advise tharr' asked Pimbali
 That We stand on slowly during the day and heave to at night. and if we can't get a shot at the sun stay here abouts uati! the sky is clear and the sun visible, then we win know just ex- actly what coHrse to take and just whatS best to be done"
 The advice was so self evidently good. in fact the only practicable ad- vice. that there was no hesitation in accepting it. The bOatswain stepped up to the hOrseblOck. grabbed the truu- pet and shouted his orders Presently the ship was hove to with the island well under her lee. distant perhaps league and half or maybe two leagues. Personally I should not have hove to ship on lee shore I should not have advised fl. and indeed would have protested against fl had ! not sudden ly developed a plaH-a plan as desper- ate as r'er raula into mans head But

 I had carefully taken my bearings during the day and as l had a good compass on the boat knew exactly how to steer. Fortunately the wind held steady. laid her course so as to clear the northeast end of the island. around which intended to swing so as to be hidden from the ship at daybreak
 l told her after awhile that she was safe. No sound had come from the ship and the lights in the cabin which at first we could see dimly presently disappeared. Our escape had not been discovered. suggested at last that she should go to sleep. I arranged the boat cloak and blankets and although she had to be much persuaded I finally prevailed upon her to lie down in the boat, her head by my knees. and thus we sailed on through the night.
 When day broke l hauled aft the sheet and headed the boat to the south ward. for had now crossed the head of thesisland and could run down the other side. By the time it was fairly dawn had made enough southing to place the north end of the island be- tween ourselves and the ship. l steer ed the boat toward the land
 My hopes were high and felt a kind of exhilaratlon at our escape. although was by no means inclined to mini mize the possibilities of peril we might soon be compelled to meet. The island was our destination, however. and for it therefore ! detcrminedly headed my small craft with it's precious and still peacefully sleeping cargo.
 The island was unlike any had ever looked upon. In the first place. like most Pacific islands. it was incIosed by a barrier reef. over which the waves broke in whltecaps as far as l could see [ supposed that somewhere there would be an opening in the reef through which we could sail. That was invariably the case with all such ! Islands that ! had ever known or read { about. But ! could not see the open ing from the boat yet The lagoon en ! closed by the barrier reef seemed to be 1 a quarter or half mile wide.

 lantern and finder box. There was not much water, but I emptied some bottles of wine and filled them. although did not much worry on that account because there would be plenty of water undoubtedly on the island. The boat was provided with a com pass and a mast and sail. I got into her as she swung at the davits and overhauled spar and gear. Then shipped the tilier. and presently ev- erything was ready. A final search brought to light a narrow locker in the captains room, which l forced open and which l found to contain a fine fowIing piece. double barreled shotgun and a heavy musket with plenty of powder aud ball These l passed into the boat also.

 She had not been on the ship for six months without having learned something. and she instantly asked me:
 But how are you going to lower 1t away?"
 "1 will have to go up on deck for that" I said.
 But won't they see you?"
 q don't think so, but whether they do or not we must chance it, but If anything should happen to me I'll cut the boat adrift. and you will be in Gods hands"

For me to belay the falls and slide down the forward one to cast of and take my place in the boat was but the work of an instant. The oars had been carefully mufled.
