they watched IL there was a move
ment in the mass. Something waved.
Dozens OF watchers caught the signal.
There was murmur OF awed
voices In the saloon. The peril OF the
Gulf Stream herself was forgotten in
the new discovery.
Scarcely two hundred yards sep

times as the seas tried to'snatch him

He stopped and groped for some

he began 10 retrace his steps. Fal-

The Gulf Stream was taking the

there was not the remotest chance

the mere swapping OF a tail shaft

versation. But there was an air Of
tense expectancy in the cabin; the
atmosphere tingled with electric
waves OF apprehension,
The ship was walowing now, her
single screw battling desperately
against the press OF the waves and
the wind, yet unable TO head her UP
against II. An otficer IN oilskins
passed their portfolio again, and
stopped to stare out at tho white

thing. Then he wiped the spray out
OF his eyes and stared again.
Half a minute later he raised q
glass to his eyes and stared through
that.
Presently he made a gesture OF COM

handed him the glass and pointed TO
a spot out in the sea The sailor
studied II for an instant, returned
the glass and nodded. without n
second glance at the ocean, they hur-
ried forward along the deck, fight
ing their way against the hurricane.
Something Off TO leeward had been
discovered. The discovery had been
verified. Trask and the girl looked
at each other inquiringly. What was
The explanation was swift in com
ing. Trask gripped the girls arm
and pointed seaward, as a rain squall
passed. There. rising sullenly on the
crest OF comber, was the outline or

the stumps OF masts sticking out OF
her deck. AS they watched she slid
from sight.
Sidney gasped. For what seemed

Perhaps. Wait. want TO md

She stayed at the portfolio, while
Trask made his way out OF the sa-

him anxiously with her eyes. He re-
piled:

asked quickly.
TITS right in the line Of our drift"
There was a struggling procession
OF figures in sou'wosters along the
deck, They were dragging some
heavy object. Even above the road
OF the storm Trask caught the faint
echo OF a voice shouting commands

Tho officer waved his hand with a
gesture almost OF Indifference.
That's Just detail" he said.
"Well get them on with a brCechos

There was a murmured prayer OF
relief In the cabin.
Tho officer made his way forward
again. and Sidney and Trask fol-
lowed him. eager to see what the
nstuto and disagreeable master OF the
Gulf Stream was doing for the hui
man occupants OF his sea anchor
They found that still another line
had been sent out into the face OF
the gale, and that II had gone true. as
all the others Blodgett had aimed
the gun himself.
A struggling crew on the forward
deck dragged out a breeches buoy
and mounted it on the slender line.
II seemed small and puny in the face
OF the gale. yet Captain Blodgett
clearly had faith In It. with a pull
that came from somewhere out in

the bow.
Minutes elapsed before the pas
scnEers on the Gulf Stream saw II

rising out OF the crest OF u sea. when

seized by knot OF deckhands who
awaited II.
Two men were llfted out. One OF
them was able TO walk but the other
was limp fgure. lie was carried
into the cabin, followed by his fellow

storm again.
Three trips II made, and three

~HE weather proved so bad that
there we're few passengers In
to breakfast. Trask had Just
a single patron-Sidnet Sands.
And he did not fail to take ad-
vantage of his situation. He was
beginning TO fret against the role
when word reached him that the ship
would not put In at Key West after
all. Tho storm made It a dangerous
thing to attempt, and Capt. Blodgett
had decided To run straight for Gal
weston.
II was there that Trask ceased to
be a waiter. Needless OF conse-
quenoes, he took of his uniform and
sought out Sidney Sands. Together
they stood watching the wild world
OF water that swirled about the ship,
threatening to engulf 1t at any
minute.
A heavy shock sent them both fly

came a noise so ominous that Trask' s

became suddenly stilled.

asked quickly.

AS he went In search OF an officer,
Trask noticed that perceptible
change had come over the ship. She
was rolling slugglshly, heavily as at
last weary Of the fight. She was no
longer exchanging blow for blow
with her furious antagonist, but
seemed to be yielding to the on
slaught, bowling her head to the In
evitable.
1t was even more dincult TO walk
than before, and Trask made slow
progress.
He was gone for several minutes
and returned TO find her still stand
ing at her post OF observation, with
look in her eyes that contained
moro or curiosity than anxiety.
