desire to assume command Of the In
dian Chief, and guide her destinies on
a long outward voyage, to whatever
port her cargo had been consigned.
What that port was made slight diff
terence, for my whole desire was to
return as quickly as possible to New
York. 1 would, however, assume tenn
porary command, and consent to navi-
gate the vessel to the nearest Ameri-
can port, where competent skipper
might be procured, and new crew OBJ
tained. The Indian Chief possessed no
wireless outfit, and whatever I did
must be on my own judgment. These
considerations flashed swiftly through
my mind, and I attained decision be-
fore Masters again spoke. 1 would
navigate the boat to the nearest port
on the American coast, notify the own
ers, and then leave them to do as they
pleased with vessel and crew. 1 cared
nothing for the salvage; the presence
OF the disabled steamer in these wa
tiers had saved our lives, which was
reward enough surely. All cared for
was to get myself and the young lady
safe ashore. My thought was inter-
rupted by the sound of Masters voice.
1T sorter seemed to me, Mr.. Hol-
lis" he was saying, "that maybe 1t
would be best for me to explain these
things before you went into the cabin.
You'll naturally want to know Just the
condition before you. decide what to
do"
Il have decided, Masters" I an
swered briefly. "There is only one
thing I can do legally, and that is
navigate the Indian Chief to the near
est American port, and surrender her
to her owners. AS licensed captain
Of steam I have authority to assume
command to this extent, but no more"
Il reckoned you would look at 1t
that way, sir. I'm no sea lawyer, but
I sorter figured it out about as you
do. But that amt the situation ex.
actly."

"Why, this owner business, sir. You
see, the owner of the Indian Chief, an
every pound O. cargo below matches, is
on board here"
1.-THE owner is on board!"
"That's the gospel truth; that's why
I took the trouble to keep you here,
and tell you what have, before you
went down and met him, sir. It gives
you chance to think out your best
course"
"But If the man is aboard, why did
he not appear on deck to give us wei.

been of INTEREST,""
"Likely as not he hasn't even heard
yet that you are aboard. You see
his cabin is on the starboard side
astern, and he would see nothing from

"Indeed;" he held out his hand to
me, his eyes looking directly into mine.
Il regret your misfortune, sir, but your
coming is a godsend to us. Your ship
was wrecked?"
"Sunk in collision" answered. "But
1t was not my ship; I have not been to

creased, the lines Of his face showing
clearly. He appeared to hesitate, I'M
