the latter, have decreased since the

Far off Warshps Surprise.
Press matter derived from official
German sources says:
Surprise generally is expressed at
the amazing activity of the German
cruisers stationed abroad. Though it
was generally expected that the ves-
sells would fall easy victims to Brit
ish warships within a fortnight after
the declaration OF war, Germans now
are astonished to learn from reports
in the British and French press of
the damage they are doing to the
merchant marine of the enemy.
The Goeben. Breslau, Emden,
Karlsruhe and Leipzig are the names
OF the German vessels whose sue
cesses have caused the liveliest sat
isfaction in Germany. In addition,
the cruisers Scharnhorst and Gneis
enau stationed in the Pacific, are
reported to have been busy in the
vicinity of Tahiti Society Islands
where they succeeded in destroying
the French gunboat Zelee.
The attempts OF the powers COM
posing the triple entente to enforce

he was free to return to his berth
for another four-hour rest.
This time misguided consideration
induced Barcus to let his crew sleep
through the first afternoon watch. Six
bells were ringing when, in drowsy ap-
prehension that something had gone
suddenly and radically wrong. Alan
walked.
He was on deck again almost before
he rubbed the sleepiness from his
eyes. emerging abruptly from the half
light of the cabin to q dazzle Of sun
light that filled the cup of day with

inquired civilly.
Judith nodded.
Then 1t would save US some trouble

enough to step into the dory without Z

Without a word, Judith stepped te
the rail and, as Barcus luffed, swung
herself oversize into the dory.
Immediately Alan cast OF, and ~
the little boat sheered OF. Barcus
with a sigh Of relief. brought the Sea

A sudden slap OF the maineail boom
athwartships and a simultaneous cry
from over the stern reused Alan from
his CONSERVATION to fresh appreciation
OF the emergency. With scant consid-
GRAFTON he hustled the woman to the
companionway and below, slammed its
doors and closed her In with the slid

sprang to the taffrail. just In time to
lend a helping hand sorely wanted by
Mr.. Barcus in his efforts to climb

He came over the rail in a towering
temper.
