CHAPTER XII.
The Crew Grow Ugly.

For a moment I remained forgetful
OF the presence of the girl on deck.
There was but one course to pursue
at the very first evidence of disobedf-
ence I must assert full authority
There must be no hesitation, no sign
OF weakness. Even as this crystallized
in my own mind, the girls hand
touched the sleeve of my jacket.
Supper is ready, Mr.. Hollis" she
said. Are you not coming DOWN."
Every shortly. I will have the men
knock off work, and leave the mate in
charge of the deck
what were you thinking about so
earnestly? You actually forgot me-
glanced aside into her eyes.
mot guilty, Miss Vera; was think
ing of you, and of how I could get you
safely out of this scrape. do not say
this to brighten you, Miss Vera, only,
perhaps it is best for you to know the
situation. The first thing necessary
on this voyage is to show those fellows
forward who Is master aboard But
we've talked about it long enough now.
do not anticipate any locking of horns
tonight for those lads will need to dis
cuss plans among themselves first.
Bascom will be waiting for you in the
cabin, and I will join you presently"
I walked with her as far as the lad
der, and watched until she disappeared.
Forward could perceive little outside
the glow of the lanterns in the radius
of which black, grotesque figures con-
stantly passed and repassed. Occasion
ally a voice sang out some command,
the words scarcely distinguishable.
"Mr. Leayord ~ I sang out.
"Aye, aye, sir"
LET the men knock off work for the
present, and send the second mates
watch down for supper. You will take
| the deck, and it will be better to have
| another hand aft here at the wheel"
Every well, sir"
I waited until he clambered heavily
up the ladder and Joined me, his huge
figure outlined against the gleam of
| the pinnacle light.

which the crew took hold, Mr.. Lea

oiled coat, belonging to the skipper,
hung dangling from a hook, and I
slipped it on, extinguishing the light
before closing and locking the door.
Leayord was alone at the table in the
cabin, which had already been cleared
Of its dirtied dishes.
I had advanced to the companion
steps when his voice stopped me.
Captain" he said in hoarse whis-
per, twas you planning to go forward
alone?"
Certainly"
Leayord glanced about uneasily.
''Well, wouldn't, sir, if was you
not tonight, anyhow. The men are that
ugly there's no KNOWN what might
happen. Do you carry gun, sir?"
''Why, no; I saw one there in a
drawer of Captain Hadley's desk. You
think the situation is as bad as that?'
"Pd go back and get it, SIR" he said
soberly, IAN then keep to the after
deck till daylight
An instant I stood staring at the
rain beating fiercely against the glass
of the companion, then turned back
to the stateroom had just left, slipped
the revolver out of the desk drawer
into my pocket, and re-entered the
cabin.
I buttoned the oilskin closely about
my throat and stepped out on deck,
the wind driving the rain full into my
face, and, for the moment, binding me.

CHAPTER XIII.
I Make Mccain Prisoner


It was evident enough in my mind
that there were two elements of evil
aboard-liquor and McCann's wealth.
Either alone would have been bad
enough, but thus combined, they rem
dered our situation more than perilous
and was facing this peril COM
paratively alone. Masters would doubt
less perform his duty, but his work
would keep him below, and he would
prove of slight value on deck. My i'm
preston of Leayord and Olson was IA
vorable enough; they were, undoubted-
ly, the very best material on board;
yet, from long association with the
forecastle, it was only natural that
their sympathies should be with their
mates forward. An efficient sea Off
Ger is not made overnight, and either
man might fail me at pinch. AS to
Bascom, he could never be counted on;
while as regards Vera-but at thought
of her, the cold perspiration beaded my
temples with a horror of what might
yet occur on board. No, the burden
was mine, mine practically alone. 1t
was up to me to strike first, to assert
my authority, and then maintain it
This was the one thing which would
impress the mind of the sailor-a quick
decision, a swift blow. This very night
we must win the ship, if ever, and the
first man for me to gain control over
must be Fergus Mccain
I reached this decision coolly and de-
1iberately, yet with no clear plan OF
action in my mind. At that moment
Olson sang out some order from the
rail overhead, and I could hear the
hustle of the watch along the black
deck
My eyes distinguished no figures, but
suddenly a blaze of lightning seemed
to rip the sky asunder, and, in the
swift, CHASTITY glare. I perceived two
human figures against the starboard
rail, safe from observation beneath a
boat swung in davits- The man direct
~ facing me, his countenance fllu-
mined for a single instant by the flame,
was Liverpool Red The very pastures
of the two men, the position chosen
amidshfps. and In the shadow, led me
to identity LiverpooPs companion and

yord," 1 said quietly, "and that Olson
set them SO good an example"
He crossed over to the rail and came
back wiping his lips on his sleeve
"Olson is good man, Mr.. Hollis !;
you made no mistake when you chose
him for second officer. but never saw
worse bunch of sea scum in any TO-
castle than we've got aboard here, sir."
They took hold, all right" Il
AYE, for the once: they're a bit
dazed yet, an have had no time to talk
1t over among themselves"

"Yas, Sah."
I left him, and walked over to the
rail, realizing keenly the position of
peril into which had drifted. With
a loyal crew my task would prove no
easy one, but with crippled ship, and
the men already on the verge of mu-
tiny, the situation was almost despe-
rate.

BOnners Ferry
Idaho

is the county seat of Boundary county
and is located on two transcontinenal
railways, the Great Northern and Spo-
kane International. Boomers Ferry is
the head of navigation on the Koote-
mai river. 1t is the terminal of the
Kootenai Valley railway, which runs
to Foothill close to the Canadian boun-
Diary line.
Boomers Ferry has three fine, mod
ern school buildings and an efficient
corps of teachers. Seven religious de-
nominations are represented and near
ly all of the best lodges have organi-
cations. The city is we'll supplied with
all kinds of business houses which car
ry large stocks of merchandise.
The citizens of Boundary county
and Boners Ferry are energetic and
wide-awake and are willing and anx-
ious to encourage the coming of new
settlers in the county.
The Kootenai Valley Commercial
Club is live organization and if any
reader of the Herald desires full par
ticulars concerning the town or coun-

Boundary County
Idaho


is the extreme northern county of
Idaho. It's principal resources are ag-
riculture, dairying and stock raising,
mining, timber. The county includes
a large portion of the Kootenai Val
ley, the most fertile district of the
world. Cutover lands may be pur-
chased on long time contracts at from
$40 to $25 per acre. Bottom and mead
ow lands sell for from SO to $50 per
acre. There are many hundreds of
acres of agricultural land in Boundary
county which will make fine homes for
the energetic farmer. Millions of feet
of timber remain uncut and the rivers
and creeks may be easily harnessed to
give thousands of horsepower. Raw
material in quantities to last 100 years,
for paper pulp, may be found in the
county and this timber is easy of ac-
cess. The mining industry is yet in
it's infancy. Sufficient capital would
put only one of a dozen mines on a
dividend-paying basis. The climate is
ideal, the rainfall all that is needed.
No irrigation in this district. Good
roads, good schools. Plenty of trans
portation facilities.
