1t was thrilling, to be sure-the coniunc-
ton of living peril with the emergency
of the message. Yet the dusk and sweep

Scalawag Harbor, the interruption of the
lane of water, the mounting seas, their
declivities fecked with path of treacher-
Gus ice, all We're familiar realities to Tom
my Lark and Sandy Rowl. Moreover, a
telegram was not letter. 1t was an ur-
gent message. 1t imposed upon mans
conscience the obligation to speed it, 1t
should be delivered with determined ex-
pedition.
Elsewhere, in "a rural community, for
example, good neighbor would not
hesitate to harness his horse on a similar
errand and travel deep road on dark
night in the fall of the year; nor, with
the snow falling thick, would he con-

fretful growl.

Some were manifestly substantial: a
leaping man could pause to rest; but
many-necessary pans, these, to cross
ing of the lane-were as manifestly in
capable of bearing man up.
A S the pan upon which Tommy Lark
and Sandy Rowl stood lay near the
edge of the foe, the sea was running up
the lane in almost undiminished swells--
the long, slow waves of a great ground
swell, not a choppy wind-lop, but agitated
by the wind and occasionally breaking. 1t
was thirty-foot sea in the open. In the
lane it was somewhat less-not much,
however; and the ice in the lane and all
round about was heaving in it-tumbed
about, rising and falling, the surface all the
while at changing slant from the per-
pendicular.

Scalawag coast, where the wind was inter-
rupted by the Scalawag hills, the foe was
loose and composed of field of lesser
fragments. There was still general con-
taet-pan lightly touching pan but many
of the pans were of an extent so precar-
ously narrow that their pitching surface
could be crossed only on hands and knees,
and in imminent peril of being flung off
into the gaps of open water.
1t was a feat of lusty agility, of delicate,
experienced skill, of steadfast courage, to
cross the stretches of loose ice, heaving
as they were, in the swell of the sea.
Once Tommy Lark slipped when he
landed on an inclined pan midway of
patch of water between two greater pans.
His feet shot out and he began to slide
feet foremost into the sea, with increasing
momentum, as a man might fall from a
steep, Shiny roof. The pan righted in the
trough, however, to check his descent
over the edge of the ice. When it reached
the horizontal in the depths of the trough,
and there paused before responding to the
lift of the next wave, Tommy Lark caught
his feet; and he was set and balanced
against the tip and fling of the pan in the
other direction as the wave slipped be-
meath and ran on.
HAVING come, at last, to doubtful
- lane sparsely spread with ice, Tommy
Lark and Sandy Rowl were halted. They
were then not more than half mile from
the rocks of Scalawag. From the sub
stantial ground of commodious block,
with feet spread to brace themselves
against the pitch of the pan as a man
stands on a heaving deck, they appraised
the chances and were disheartened. The
lane was like narrow arm of the sea,
extending, as nearly as could be deter
mined in the dusk, far into the foe; and
there was an opposite shore-another
commodious pan. In the black water of
