prisoner arose and partook of a
hearty breakfast and soon after
ward was visited by his attorney,
e. ID. Karr, of the firm of GREG
DRY G. Karr. For more than two
hours Captain consulted with his
attorney.
Mr.. Karr said he did not care

Captain.
"Caplan denied to me that he
had acknowledge of the dyna-

Mr.. Karr declared, "and he EN-

any acquaintance with either OF

Mr.. Karr has q summer home

The attorney said he knew Captain
as an industrious and frugal man
Of regular habits.
Captain, besides conducting q
barber shop in the village of Roll

two miles distant. The ranch is
located on a sparsely settled road
and consists of five acres, improv-
ed with a small two-roomed house
and chicken pens for 200 chick
ems, constructed by Caplan ac-
cording to plans suggested by the
government department Of agri-
culture. The land is cleared, and
the opinion which his neighbors
entertained regarding him-that
he has been a hard worker since
taking up residence ON the island
is attested by the cleared land
and orderliness of the place.

CHAPTER ".

What happened to me next on
the sealing-schooner Ghost, as
strove to fit into my new environ
ment, are matters of humiliation
and pain. The cook, who was
called the doctor" by the crew,
Tommy" by the hunters, and
"Cooky" by Wolf Larsen, was a
changed person. The difference
worked in my status brought
about corresponding difference
in treatment from him. Servile
and fawning as he had been be-
fore, he was now as domineering
and bellicose. In truth, was nc
longer the fine gentleman with a
skin soft as "lydy's," but only
an ordinary and very worthless
cabin-boy.
He absurdly insisted upon my
addressing him as Mr.. Mugridge,
and his behavior and carriage
were insufferable as he showed
me my duties. Besides my work
in the cabin, with its four small
staterooms. was supposed to be
his assistant in the galley, and
my colossal ignorance concerning
such things as peeling potatoes or
washing greasy pots was source
of amending and sarcastic wonder
to him. He refused to take into
consideration what was, or
rather, what my life and the
things ] was accustomed to had
been. This was part of the atti-
tude he chose to adopt toward
me; and l confess, ere the day
was done, that l hated him with
more lively feelings than had
ever hated any one in my life
before.
This first day was made more
difficult for me from the fact
that the Ghost, under close reefs,
