II is believe that J. II. McCuiloch,

Company, presented to the conference
information bearing on the Richmond
situation. McCulloch is said to have
made a report In detail, telling all
about the exposure made by Captain

il Is still being insisted by Blanch-
ard S. Forbes. local representative of
the Central Construction and Supply
Company, that Commissioner Nc
Carthy has misinterpreted both the
attitude of Superintendent McCulloch
and the answers the superintendent
made when questioned by Captain Nc
Carthy. Mr.. Forbes has refused TO
make denial of the accusation con-

statements of Mr. Goodwin In this letter

Of Mr.. McCulloch were positive and
direct In the following items:

Second. Goodwin reported on the

along and give him a jolt that would
scatter him and his project into a
thousand pieces.
He felt safe enough with the twins,
but he decided TO keep away from An
derson and transact business with him
over the telephone.
"Mr. Carteret," said Hemenway as
they walked away, "how many of us
do you figure it will take to sail that
boat? What's the lowest number we
can get along WITH"
Those down-east two-masters go
to sea with a captain and crew of two
men," replied Carteret; "but they
were brought up to that sort of thing.
We ought to have five, anyway; may
be we could get along with four in a
pinch, but l wouldn't want to If l
could help it. How are you coming
out with your crew-landed anybody

Yes, I've got one young fellow

to do so l will have it sent down To

and see that it is screwed down tight.
And you better start getting your
things together. Don't forget to take
plenty of light clothes.

They parted. Hemenway bought
two strong second hand trunks. Also
he ordered made for him a number OF
small light hardwood boxes, packed
with excelsior and the tops fitted with
screws to be delivered at his office on
Wednesday at five thirty sharp. He
then bought q few things he thought

CHAPTER vi.
Darkness and lndecislon.

In one of the small parks of San
Francisco that night young man sat
on a bench, his hands thrust deep in
the pockets of his coat, his collar
turned up, his felt hat drawn over his
eyes. To judge from his clothes and
what could be seen of his features,
his condition in life was on a some
what higher plane than that OF the
other men who swarmed the park.
At nine o'clock Mr.. Archibald Hem
enway entered this park and walked
slowly through it. Returning, he
flung himself on the bench occupied
by the young man in the soft felt hat"
Hes either in love or in trouble.
thought Hemenway, after eying him
for some minutes; "Fll tap him." IL
the young man was aware of the new
comers presence he gave no indica-
ton OF 1t.
Zine night, isn't it," observed
Hemenway.
The young man turned his head
slowly, looked at Hemenway for a
moment, and resumed his former

CHAPTER VII.
Expecting a Jolt.

Next day the launch tender, which
was up in the basin with the Runaway
towed the yacht down to Anderson &
Brownlow's dock. The schooner had
been recently overhauled, ard there
was little to do OH her except see that
everything was shipshape.
Hemenway got Anderson to put a
scrub crew aboard and, with Jim Cat
teret, who was off duty until six
o'clock that evening, they took the
yacht out in the bay to stretch her
sails and give Carteret a chance to see
how she behaved.
Jim went TO the wheel and took
command, and in the light breeze that
was blowing put the little schooner
through her PAGES. He pointed her
close to the wind and beat up the ba !
in short tacks, then eased sheets for a
short reach, and finally jibed over for
a run before the wind.
The yacht behaved beautifully. AT
ter an hours thorough test Carteret
brought her up in the wind and let
her hang there.
"You handled her like you had
spent all your life on schooner
yacht" declared Anderson. What do
you think of her-a beauty eh?"
Don't tell him, Captain Carteret,"
laughed Hemenway; "he might want
to boost the price on me. We haven't
signed papers yet"
mo fear of that" said Anderson.
you and-I are going TO get along
without any Misunderstanding Hem
enway. Well, what do you say to get
ting back? | have some work to do"
When the Runaway was made fast
Hemenway asked Carteret to go all
over the vessel and make any sugges
tions he thought necessary. While the
Twin was busy on the yacht, Hemen-
way went into executive session with
Anderson.
The latter promised to lose no time
in getting the supplies aboard and
rush the other small things so that
everything would be read as soon as
possible When Carteret had finished
his inspection of the schooner they
left together.
For the last twentyfour hours
Hemenway had felt as though he was
walking around with a can of nitro
glycerin in his pocket. So far every
thing had gone along smoothly, but he
was in that ticklish position of not
knowing when somebody would come
