He turned his head and stared at
the whitecaps tumbling along the
deadly raceway; and he almost dropped
his oars in establishment to see a gaso-
line-launch battling for safety Just
north of the storm-swept channel
What was launch doing in this
forsaken end of the earth2 And the
next instant developed the answer.
Out at sea, beyond the outer bar, a
yacht, wallowing like a white whale,
was staggering towards the open ocean
He saw all this in fash-saw the
gray-green maelstrom between the
dunes, the launch struggling across
the inlet, the yacht plunging seward.
Then in the endless palm forests the
roar deepened. Flashl Bangl
lightning and thunder were stimuli
taneOus.
That's better" said Haltren, hang
ing to his oars; there's a fighting
chance now"
The rain came, beating the waves
down, seemingly, for a moment,
beating out the wind itself. In the
partial silence the sharp explosions
of the gasoline-engine echoed like
volleys of pistol-shots; and Haltren
half rose in his pitching boat, and shout
ed: Launch ahoyl Run under the
the lee shore. There's a hurricane
comingl You haven't second to
lose"
He heard somebody aboard the
launch say, distinctly, There's
Florida cracker alongside who says a
hurricane is about due" The shrill
roar of the rain drowned the voice.
The Farmington times. (Farmington, St. Francois County, Mo.) 1905-1926, 1917-04-20

Haltren bent to his oars again. Then
a young man in dripping white fannels
looked out of the wheel-house and
hailed him. "We've grounded on the
meadows twice If you know the chan
mel you'd better come aboard and
take the wheel"
Haltren, already north of the inlet
and within the zone of safety, rested
on his oars second and looked back,
listening. Very far away he heard
the deep whisper of death.
On board the launch the young
man at the wheel heard it, too; and
he hailed Haltren in shaky voice
81 wouldn't ask you to come back,
but there are women aboard. Can't
you help u.s."
"All right" said Haltren.
A horrible white glare broke out
through the haze; the solid vertical
torrent of rain swayed, then slanted
cas- ward.
A wave threw him alongside the
launch; he scrambled over the low
rqil and ran forward, deafened by the
din. A woman in oilskins hung to
the companion-rail he saw her white
face as he passed. Haggard, staggering,
he entered the wheel-house, where the
young man in dripping fanneIs seized
his arm, calling him by name. Haltren
pushed him aside.
"Give me that wheel, Darrow," he
said, hoarsely. Ring fulls peed ahead
Now stand clear"
Like an explosion the white tornado
burst, burying deck and wheel-house
in foam; believing fury of tumbling

five, ten; and at last through the howl
ing chaos his stunned ears caught the
faint staccato spat! puff spatl of the
exhaust. Thirty seconds more-if
the engines could stand tiff they
only could stand i'll
They stood it for thirty-three seconds
and went to smash A terrific squat,
partly detected from the forest, hurled
the launch into the swamp, now all
boiling in shallow foam; and there she
stuck in the good, thick mud, heeled
over and all awash like a stranded
razor-back after a freshet.
Twenty minutes later the sun came
out; the waters of the lagoon turned
sky blue; a delicate breeze from the
southeast stirred the palmetto fronds.
Presently cardinal-bird began sing
ing in the sunshine.
Haltren, standing in the wrecked
wheel-house, raised his dazed eyes as
Darrow entered and looked around
$50 that was white tornado

He turned a bloodless visage to Haltren,
who, dripping, bareheaded and silent,
stood with eyes closed leaning heavily
against the wheel
"Are you hurt?"
Haltren shook his head Darrow
regarded him stupidity.

part of the world2"

"Yes," said barrow, under his breath.

barrow. 1--WE came on the yacht

nerveless laugh.
Haltren stood there slowly passing
his hand over his face.

he said Kathleen and this is our
wedding-day."
Well, that is the limit" muttered
barrow, as Haltren turned stunned
face to the sunshine where the little
cardinal sang with might and main.
Come below" he added, "You
are going to speak to her, of course?"
If she cared to have me"
"Speak to her anyway. Haltren;

you and Kathleen separated. l only
knew what everybody knows. You

If there's ghost of chance-Do you

Haltren nodded
Then Wen go below" began Oar
row. But Major Brent appeared at that
moment, apoplectic eyes popping from
his purple face as he waddled forward
to survey the dismantled launch.
Without noticing either Haltren or
Darrow, he tested the slippery angle
of the deck, almost slid off into the
lagoon, clutched the rail with both
pudgy hands, and glared at the water.
