the moment of my pulling the trigger,
gave fearful leap, like wounded horse.
l had not had time to aim before we all
were flung to the deck by crash that
shook every timber in the Cecilie; and
that was instantly followed by torrent
of sea-water washing from end to end.
The ship recovered little after the shock,
rose slightly, and seemed to shake the
water off her decks, as dog might shake
itself. But again she staggered, beat her
self on the cruel reef that we had struck,
and smothered the waist and forecastle
in foam.
"We've struck! She's dragged" I
cried, do not know to whom, for Isola
was in the boat below, and Red Bob was
still lying without life on the deck, rolling
to and fro like corpse. The lash of the
gooba almost knocked me down again as
l rose. Rain was coming straight along
through the air like river lifted off the
ground. The calm lagoon had become
mass of beaten foam, and the palm trees
bent to the gale like fishing-rods when
fish pulls from below. The four New
Britain natives, terrified by the disaster
that they had brought on themselves 1--WE
learned afterward that they had been pre-
pairing rapid getaway by severing almost
through the moorings) began to jump up
and down on the deck and cry out pitt
fully. They even attempted to rush the
boat, while dragged Red Bob over the
bulwarks; but dropped the first with
one of my two remaining cartridges, and

our own man, among them-were bowling
like devils let loose from hell. Four of
them had got tomahawks, which they
must have looted from the trade goods
in the hold and kept hidden; the other
two, including the one who had knocked
down Gore, were armed with iron belay-
ing-pins from the rail- While Isola was
climbing down into the boat, l kept the
savages at bay with the revolver she had
handed me: but it had only five shots
left, and there were six men!
I WAS conscious that something was
happening besides the mutiny; it did
not, however, make much impression on
me, even though I felt sudden fierce
clap of wind and rain strike the schooner
and heel her over, and though l was
drenched through in an instant, as if I

vale of the boat and heaving him in. 1t
was not plain to me then why beckoned
to one of the mutineers to accompany, me
but l did. 1t was the recreant Bo, as
it happened, and he seized the chance
eagerly. Over into the boat he went,
lowered it down with me, and launched
it into the white, boiling, battering sea
below the ship.
WE were barely able to fend her off
from the hull, for the doomed Cecike
was rolling terribly; but we got safely
away, and pushed off into the storm.
1t was already abating. These New
Guinea storms are short and sharp. The
rain was passing, the palm trees lifting
up their battered heads little, as we
pulled over toward the shore. BY the
time we reached it the worst of the gooba
was fairly spent, and the waves that ran
up the strand were slackening in their
ferceness, so that we beached the boat
without much trouble. But where was

lagoon, gone to the bottom with the five

Gore, as l said, stopped down to
enter the forecastle. There were
A no men inside it, and the crew,
sitting up on the forecastle-head, were
some distance away, and apparently busy
in the most peaceful fashion with their
bamboo pipe. They took no notice of
him, or of anything else, until he had
finished his search, and was bending to
come out again, with his face turned
toward the deck. Then, with a leap so
quick that it seemed as if he had suddenly
made two people of himself and appeared
in two places at once, one of them reached
the break of the forecastle, and struck at
the back of Cores skull with an iron be-
laying-pin.
Quick as he was, was shade quicker.

ON PUNISHMENT
BY BERNARD SHAW

A state which is too humane to
punish will also be too thrifty to waste
the life of honest men in watching or
restraining dishonest ones. That Is
why we do not imprison dogs. We
even take our chance of their first
bite. But if dog delights TO bark
and bite, it goes to the lethal cham,
ber That seems to me sensible. To
allow the dog to expiate his bite by
period of torment, and then let him
loose in much worse savage condi-
ton (for the chain makes dog saw
age) to bite again and expiate again,
having meanwhile spent a great deal
of human life and happiness in the
task of claiming and feeding and tor
menting him, seems to me idiotic and
superstitious. Yet that is what We do
to men who bark and bite and steal.

SHORT HOURS NECESSARY

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind approve
of eight hours for workers, but in
some instances even eight hours is
too much for human Endurance" said
Prof Ward. social secretary of the
NJ. E. church, in an address on THE
Demand for Leisure"
Working hours should be judged
from the standpoint of fatigue" he
said. statistics prove that the high
est mortality rate is invariably in the
industrial sections because the rest
OF the workers is not commensurate
with their duties. A shorter workday
is an economic benefit to all. 1t
means more men. more machinery
higher standards, increased demands,
more production and an expansion Of
industries.
The family life becomes closed
book when the man returns home
dead tired from his days work. When
be reaches that stage he loses indent-
ity as a man. husband and father and
becomes only the beast Of burden"
