profusely, but victor.


Hoping to escape with their lives
Leach and Johansen leave the ship
while Larsen's wounds are being
dressed, Humphrey being promoted to
first mate. 1t is during Larsen's
search for them that the third and
mos surprising element enters the
story.
An open boat from shipwrecker
vessel, containing a woman among
others, is picked up, and with the adj
vent of this woman Maud Brewer in
terest centers in the love story which
develops. Maude and Humphrey have
much in common and are drawn close
together. Soon after Maude is taxi
en- on board Leach and Johansen are
sighted and signal to be taken on
board. They are refused succor how
ever, and perish in an open boat in
the sea. Mugridge, the boats cook, q
slovenly fellow is thrown overheard
tied to a rope for a ducking and loses
foot by shark biting it off. Maude
daily grows to fear Larsen and begs
to be put ashore at Yokohama but Lar
sen refuses and soon afterward seizes
her in his arms. Humphreys and
Larsen fight, but one of his spells
conquers Larsen and Humphreys and
the girl both escape temporarily. The
crew of the ship desert Larsen and
the Wolf is left alone on the vessl.
Humphrey and Maude manage to
reach desert island and there con-
struct two stone huts. Later the Wolf
is wrecked and these two give him
a place, though he remains defiant and
unafraid. Larsen lays a trap for the
two, but the excitement brings on
another of his spells and he lies ct
their feet helples paralytic. Hump
hrey and Maude then repair the old
ship and sail away, being sighted by
a revenue cutter the next day and re-
turned to civilization. Larsen dies on
the island and is buried there.

Weyden, who is borne out to sea by

Weyden, who is borne out to sea by
the tide.
He is rescued by the Ghost, and is
Wrought face to face with the Sea
Wolf. At first the latter sees in him
only puny weakling whom he over
comes by the slightest display of force
and compels to act as cabin boy fer
the rest of the voyage To Van Wey-
den, Larsen's enormous physical
strength and Ruthless cruelty are ap-
palling, and his drastic treatment of
the sailors is sickening. Later he
sees in him the strange paradox-the
Sea Wolf who rends and tears, and
Larsen, the eager student and embit-
tered dreamer, a man so weary of life
that he longs to end it yet has no hope
of life hereafter. Betwn these men,
SO different in every way, springs up
strong friendship and the read
poetry and philosophy together, and
Humphrey tends him whenever Lar
sen is stricken with the torturing
headaches and temporary blindness
which at times overwhelm him.
But his crew both fear and hate
him with a murderous hate, and mat
tiers go from bad to worse. Leach, a
green hand whom Larsen has treated
with special cruelty, tries to kill
the Wolf by throwing a knife at him,
but misses. Desperate, Leach runs to
Johansen, another sailor 81 missed
him and he's got my knife. We've got
to do it now" They creep upon Lar
sen as he stands by the rail with Jo-
hansen; and in the struggle both Lar
sen and Johansen are thrown over
board. The latter is drowned, but
Larsen seizes the log line and climbs
aboard. With characteristic disregard
of consequences, he goes directly to
the forecastle to find who assisted
Leach in the attack. Larsen tries "the
pulse test for feigned Sleep" AS he
bends over French Louis, Leach gives
the signal and the entire crew obey.
There is a terrific struggle in the
dark, and it is only by superhuman
effort that Larsen shakes himself free
and makes his way up the ladder, from
which he energies, cut and bleeding
