in the thought that she is there?"
With the red rag fiuttering at his brows,

All this was lost on old Tom, and shat
tered against his stony ill will. What he
knew he would not impart. Well, why
should he? This world of water was just
the dazzling blue ruin of his hopes.

mocking fates would only echo him. His
voice came up to us as hollow as the echo

Twelve years already of blowing the
seas, in an effort to set foot again on the
stones of Christian Street. In vain. The
malign fates had conspired with the gray
gods of the deep to overset the plans Of
that unlucky old Ulysses. Ships had

pitable coasts. He had drunk fatal beers.
and had walked in the fo'c'sles of i'll

that had borne him protesting to Calcutta
or Bangkok or the mythical island of zap,
when he wanted to get to Liverpool.
Now, after these mighty agonies, he
sat, bound for New South Wales, on that
glittering sea-track that led fourteen
thousand miles away from Christian
Street. Poor old Tom!
OLD Tom never softened his animosity
toward Spike. He seemed to know
from the first that his destiny would link
with that big sailors. 1t was in vain that
we reminded him that he was the oldest
man on the ship, and would be made
night watchman in Sydney and have it
soft; and that possibly this very ship
would go to Liverpool.
"l'm done" said old Tom: This is
my last ship.
In ghasty whisper he told us he

"You know herr"
"Ay,' said old Tom.
Closing his eyes, he affected to remem-

ignorant of any port or any ship or any
woman mentioned in the narrative of a
shipmate.

Tom. "I know her. Yes, have seen her.

"NO, it wasn't no star" said old Tom,
in the unruffled tones of man sure of his
ground. "Ain't you never heard of death
lights? There's going to be death on this
ship"
SLOW is that, Tom?" we whispered,
terrified.
But old Tom was careful not to let fall
too much wisdom. He wouldn't tell us
how it came that blue light meant
death.
But he was right-old Tom was right.

He had sea burial, and Spike they
chained in the sail-locker. The Old Man
was tearing mad, too, because the death
of that man had made the ship short

enough farmers in the crew. 1t was like
spearing him to make his ship short
handed and he told the mate he intended
to see justice done. We knew what that
meant; and we looked upon our shipmate
thenceforth as dead man.
The Old Man, as it happened, hadn't
the least confidence in his two mates. and
he had had row with the port bo'sun
over the proper way of sending down

that locker to old Tom-who venerated
the skipper, and also cursed him through
the seven cycles Of time.
