News m from the insiders that
the camel is to be imported into this

on this continent several aeons ago.
He Was driven across Behring strait

CHAPTER vl.-Continued.

At two o'clock the Gnat was Just
making a wide turn at the end OF the
slip. preparatory to proceeding up the
line. when Holton saw against the
blackness a deeper Understanding
that seemed TO owe.
1t was out in the bay. perhaps two
hundred yards. AS he lowered his
head. straining his eyes into the sable
curtain. he found he had lost whatever
he had seen.
Perhaps his imagination had played
him false. But no. that could not be.
for in his first glance he remembered
that some stars on the horizon had
been blotted out by the object. That
certainly was suggestive OF its tangi-
bility.
Holton went to the little bridge.
and. pointing out the spot where he
had last seen the moving blot on the
night, ordered the Gnat to head in that
direction at ~halfspeed.
For five minutes the little craft pro-
ceeded out into the bay. and then sud
denly Holton made out clearly the out
lines of a small tugboat. with a skin
in tow.
~Heave to. or I'll fire." cried Hol-
ton.
Still no reply. but the propeller of
the tug could be heard churning the
water in excess speed.
Without further word. Holton snatch
ed the rifle from the sailors hand. took
quick aim. and let dive. As a
there came five shots in rapid success
sion from the tug. the bullets rafting
through the Gnat's funnel and venti-
lators.

he added in a low tone TO the man at

The tug stopped abruptly. but not a

No reply.

rasped against the tenders OF the
stranger. Holton. his pistol in hand,
leaped over her guards TO the deck.

Here he changed his white uniform

his cap into a corner. took in it's place
