 'There is great deal of wine"
 He scowled Dash Williams. any. how! His instructions were-but nev. CT mind about that Get rid of the whisky"
 Turner coming up the companion- way at that moment Vail left me. had understood him perfectly. It was common talk in the forecastle that Turner was drinking hard and that. in fact. the cruise had been arranged by his family in the hope that. away from his clubs. he would alter his hab- its-a fallacy. of course.
 Eovlrr 10 ,v~,r H, the worse for 1t that morning. He made directly for me. It was the first time be had noticed me. although it was the third day out He stood in front of me. his red eyes Gaming. and. although I am a tall man. he had an inch perhaps the advantage of me.
 Whats this about WilliamsT' he demanded furiously. What do you mean by thing like thatT'
 'He was bullying me. l didn't in- tend to drop him.
 The ship was rolling gently. He made pass at me with a magazine he carried and almost lost his balance The women bad risen and were watch 4ng from the corner of the after house. 1 caught him and steadied him until he could clutch a chair
 ''You try any tricks like that again and you'll go overboard" he stormed. "Who are you anyhow: Not one of our menT'

 Marsh" Mrs. Turner protested. q told you about him-the man who had been ill"
 "Oh. another of your friendsP' he sneered. and looked from me to Vail with his ugly smile.
 That was on Monday. the third day out. Up to that time Miss Lee had not noticed me. except once. when she found me scrubblng the deck. to com ment on corner that she thought might be cleaner. and another time in the evening. when she and Vail sat in chairs until late. when she had sent me below for a wrap. She looked past me rather than at me, gnve me her orders quietly but briefly and did not even take the trouble to Ignore me.
 But that morning after they had set tied to bridge she followed me to the rail, out of ear shot straightened and took of my cap. and she stood looking at me. unsmiling.
 "Unclinch your handsw she said.
 q beg your pardonr' I strengthened out my fingers, conscious for the first time Of my clinched fists. and even opened and closed them once or twice to prove their relaxation.
 That's better Now. won't you try to remember that l am responsible for your being here. and be carefu?"
 "Then take me away from here and put me with the crew. am stronger now. Ask the captain to give me a mans work"
 We prefer to have you here." she said coldly, and then. evidently repent ing her manner: We need a man here, Leslie. Better stay. Are you comfortable in the forecastleY'
 Yes. Miss Lee"
 She turned to leave. smiling. It was the first time she had thrown even a heeting smile my way. and it went to my head.
 And Williams? I am to submit to his insolenceT
 She stopped and turned. and the smile faded
 'The next time" she said. 'you are to drop himw
 But during the remainder of the day she neither spoke to me nor looked. as far as ! could tell. in my direction She tiirted openly with Vail. rather. I thought. to the discomfort of Mrs. Johns. who had appropriated him to herself-sang to him i'm the cabin. and in the long hour before dinner. when the others were dressing. walked the deck with him. talking earnestly. They looked well together and believe he was In love with her. Turner had gone below. grimly good humored. to dress for dinner. and went aft to chat. as l often did. with the steersman. On this occasion 1t happened to be Charlie Jones. Jones was not his name so far as | know. It was some inordlnately long and diff ! ferent German inheritance. and so. with the facility of the average crew, he had been called Jones. He was a tanawnlanf ffftIo rsuv hfohfu roIfrfaua
