 wewere unable to verify. At six S bells, during the darkest hour of the night that precedes the early dawn of summer, Adams from the crows nest called down in panic that there was something crawling on all fours on the deck below him

 l heard the crash and joined Burns. and together we went over the deck and both houses. Everything was quiet-the crew in various attitudes of exhausted sleep, their chests and ditty- bags around them; Oleson at the wheel and Singleton in his jail room breathing heavily.
 Adams nerve was completely gone: and. being now thoroughly awake, 1 joined hlm in the crows nest Nothing could convince him that he had been the victim of a nervous hallucination He stuck to his story firmly.

The stewardess. her arm in a sling. was making tea over spirit lamp, and Elsa was helping her. Mrs. Johns was stretched on divun, and on the table lay small revolver.
 Clearly Elsa had told the incident of the key felt at once the atmosphere of antagonism. Mrs, Johns watched me coolly from under lowered eyelids. The stewardess openly scowled. and Mrs. Turner rose hastily and glanced at Mrs. Johns. as if in doubt Elsa had her back to me and was busy with the cups.

 Elsa Lee wheeled suddenly and glanced scornfully at her sister.
 "Why don't you tell him:' she de- manded. Why don't you say you did not give the bromides?"
 Why not?"
 Mrs. Johns raised herself on her el- bow and looked at me.
