He could see only the outlines ~ her
figure and his impression was that
she looked "cute."
But Pearl was I'm no mood for the
kind of bantering Adams INDUCED in.
She ordered him in a very pre-emptory
manner to be still. He obediently fell
silent and as quickly his own humor
changed. For somewhere above, doubt
less In the captains cabin, they heard
voices.
"Do you understand what Is being
saidf" she demanded, grasping his arm
tightly.
Adams indicated that he did, al.
though the discussion was now In
French, now In German and occasion
ally in heavy-tongued Scandinavian.
"The girl. yes; but. Adams. Mon

There was no response.
Again she summoned him In vain.
At the same time the voices overhead
grew less distinct although the hum

Now more alert than ever, Pearl
listened a while but unable TO catch
any meaning. presently instituted an
inspection of the ships hold. She o %
concluded that this was M ordinary

capped from these coverings.
Curious TO know whence came

the year, and with a view 10 exa:nin-
ing II in the somewhat better light of
a partly opened portfolio. Pearl started
TO lift one of the baskets. Ii was rs
heavy as lead. She broke open the
top. The basket was full Of cartridges.
A further examination showed that
the vegetable crates lined with fresh
corn huskings concealed explosives
aud that the potato bags contained a
fine yellow powder.
She was SO absorbed that she did
not hear footsteps stealthily approach

The president walked out of the
room amid profound silence, his head
bowed.
Sometime before daybreak Colonel
Dare visited his major. He found him
In bed attended by a staff physician
and a nurse. Brent told him. rs best

that time the prisoners were not on

upstream not far from where the
ditched automobile was found later.
But Immediately the coast was clear
the dingy was propelled 10 the water
side OF the steamer and Pearl and
Adams were hustled into separate sec
tions Of the hold.
Adams was searched from head To
foot for the box Of waters. When
they were not found OF him. attention
was turned to Pearl who refused To
permit anyone TO touch her. She blurt-
ed out the truth. But she would not
diyulge the name or describe the ap-
of Bertha Bonn under all
manner of threat. and when Adams
was questioned about this he professed
Ignorance.
Subsequently a platter OF breakfast
was sent to Miss Dare by a galley boy
who seemed to be deaf and dumb. and
who behaved queerly. The moment
he appeared Pearl seized him, found
a bowie knife and a loaded revolver
concealed In his clothes. gagged and
bound him before he could make n dis
turbance and thus armed hurried over
