Yeager received the news with
more Joy than apprehension. He
at once carried out Blythe's or

volvers I retursed to the deck.
Mott was already on the bridge.
He listened to our story with plain
incredulity.

And he snapped his fingers with
a complacent laugh.
There are none so blind as
those who will not see. We could
not even persuade Mott to accept
a revolver.
Leaving Mott at the wheel we
adjourned to the deck saloon for
a discussion. Miss Wallace saun-

We checked off the rest of the
