 clear that the crew or major ity of the crew believed him guilty and that as far as Singleton was concerned my authority did not exist.
 All right" l said "I'll do the best l can. First of an 1 want every man to give up his weapons BurnsT
 Aye. aye"
 "Go over each man. Leave them their pocket knives Take everything else"
 The men lined up Tue situation was tense. horrible. so that the miscellane- Ous articles from their pOckets-knives keys, plugs of chewing tobuccO and here and there among the foreign ones small combs for beard and mustache- unexpectedly brought to light, caused n smile of pure reaction.
 | went over to Singleton and put my hand on his shoulder
 "Im sorry. Mr. Singleton" 1 said. but I'll have to ask you for your re- volver."
 Without looking at me he drew 1t from his hip pocket and held it out. l took it. It was loaded.
 Its out of order." he said briefly. "If it had been working right 1 wouldn't be here"
 ] slid his revolver into my pocket and went back to the men. Counting Williams and the cook and myself, there were nine of us. The cook l counted out. ordering him to go to the galley and prepare breakfast The eight that were left 1 divided into two watches. Burns tukinG one and | the other On Burns watch were Clarke. McNamara and Williams. on mine Ole son. Adams and Charlie Jones
 It was two bells. or 6 o'clock, Burns struck the gong sharply as an indication that order. of a sort, had been restored. The rising sun was gleaming on the sails; the gray surface of the sea was rudling under the morn ing breeze. From the galley a thin stream of smoke was rising. Some of the horror of tue night went with the darkness. but the thought of what waited in the cabin below was on us all
 I suggested another attempt to rouse Mir Turner. and Burns and Clarke went below. They came back in ten minutes reporting DO change in Tur- ner's condition. There was open grumbling among the men at the situ- ation. but we were helpless. Burns and I decided to go on as if Turner were not on board. until he was in l condition to take hold
 We thought 1t best to bring up the bodies while all the crew was on duty, and then to take up the watches. arranged to have one man constantly on guard in the after house--a difficult matter where all were under suspicion. Burns suggested Charlie Jones as prob ably the most reliable. and l gave him the revolver 1 had taken from Single ton. It was useless, but 1t made at least a show of authority. The rest of the crew, except Oleson. on guard over the mate. was detailed to assist in carrying up the three bodies. Williams was taken along to get sheets from the linen room.
 We brought the captain up first lay. ing him on a sheet on the deck and folding the edges over him It was terrible work. Even |. fresh from a medical college, grew nauseated over it. He was heavy lt was slow worh getting him up Vail we brought up In the sheets from his bunk. Of the three he was the most mutilated. The maid Karen. showed only one injury, a smashing blow on the head. probably from the head of the ax. for a1 it bad been beyond a doubt
 At three bells the cook brought coffee and some of che men took tt. ] tried tO swallow. but 1t choked me.
 find it hard to recall calmly th, events of that morning; the three stR nnd shrouded figures. prone on deck the crew. bareheaded. standing around eying each other stealthily, with pani' ready to leap free and grip each o them by the throat; the grim determl nation. the reason for which l did DO yet know. to put the 6rst mate iI irons. and. over all the clear sunrise Of an August morning on the ocean rails and decks cleaning. an odor O. coffee in the air. the joyous ift ana splash Of the bOwsprlt as the Ella headed back on her course, seemed t' make for home like a nag for thl stable.
 Surely none of these men. some weep ing, all grieying. could be the henl who had committed the crimes. On by one. 1 looked in their faces-a Burns. youngest member of the crew, blue eyed. sandy haired Scot; at Clark and Adams and Charlie Jones. old i
