floor, collecting valuables as he went,
and then entered the dining room to
get the silver. The drawers of the

pulled; his anger rose; he gave a
mighty jerk. Then he slipped ard
dropped to the floor with thud.

neighbors. Cohen saw fat burglar

he was free to return to his berth

This time misguided consideration
induced Barcus to let bis crew sleep
through the first afternoon watch. Six
bells were ringing wher in drowsy ap-
prehension that something had gone
suddenly and radically wrong, Alan
walked.
He was on deck again almost before
he rubbed the sleepiness from his
eyes, emerging abruptly from the half
light of the cabin to a dazzle OF sun
light that filled the cup OF day with
rarefed gold, even as he passed from
conviction OF security to realization OF
immediate and extraordinary peril.
