suddenly a hand gripped my throat, the
great fingers sitting every effort to cry
out. Before I could resist, or even
brace myself, another hand was
clapped over my mouth and I was
fairly hurled back below the shelter OF
the rail, dragged Gro the black deck,
and thrown through the opened door
of the companion. This was accom-
plished so quickly. and with so little
evidence Of struggle, as to attract no
notice from The Frenchman, from
whose deck no doubt every eye was
fastened upon the approaching boat.
Half hurled, half dragged, I plunged
into the dimly lit cabin, and it was not

upraar, a revolver gripped in his hand'

"What the" he exclaimed in be-
wilderment, but before he could say
more my fist jammed into his jaw, and
the fellow went ver full length on the
deck, the gun flying from his opening
fingers. I had possession Of it before
he could stop me, and was backed

them as they shrank back, "we'll end

Red gripped Rugan,, holding the
Irishman in front of him as a shield.
My revolver covered them both, my
fingers nervous on the trigger. Sud
denly the door behind me yielded and
staggered back, unable to regain my
balance until fairly within the state
room. With a crash the door closed,

CHAPTER XIX.
A French Man-of-War.


No food was brought me during the
afternoon, o had I eaten all day, yet
my mental state was such I had no
consciousness of hunger. I had dis
covered no means of creating q light,
although my eyes were sufficiently ac-
customed to dimness to enable me to
move about my narrow quarters safely
enough.
1t must have been between eight and
nine o'clock when the key turned in
the lock of my door, and Liverpool
looked in. The light from the swing
ing lamp in the main cabin flared into
my eyes, binding me, yet I recognized
his face, and saw Dade close behind
him, bearing a tray. Neither of them
spoke, but Red, having assured him
self Of my presence, stood aside, and
motioned the steward to enter. The
latter deposited the laden tray on the
desk, and backed out silently, every
movement showing him thoroughly
cowcd by his guardian. Realizing that
any word from me would only result in
insult, / remained silent, and the two
disappeared, closing and locking the
door behind them. I confess I ate the
food with relish, for it was we'll cooked,
and served with some daintinesS. After
a second cup of coffee | felt much
more like myself, rummaging through
the captains chest. until / found some
tobacco and a pipe, which 1 at once
appropriated to my own use. No n
returned for the emptied dishes, and l
sat for a long while at the open port
smoking, the blue spiral swept away
by the rush Of air. and my eyes on
the starlit waters.
I had been sailor long enough to ac-
cept the ordinary perils of the sea as
part of the profession. Nothing was
too strange to be true at sea and SO it
was not the position in which I found
myself; not the possible fate Of the In
dian Chief, or of her captured officers,
which weighed most upon my mind-it
was Vera Darlington. If those villains
>scuttled the ship; if they took to the
boats tt save themselves, leaving us
to drown like rats, what would they do
with the girl? Would Mccain dare to
take her with him? Would he venture
leaving her alive to bear witness to
his crime? There was but one an
swer-not unless she was utterly in his
power. Either he must quiet her by
force, and thus bring her spirit to his
will, or else compel her to marry him,
and so legally seal her lips. And the
man was perfectly capable of taking
either course whichever seemed
easier. a.
This was the consideration which
served partially to arouse me from
coma. I could not continue to sit there
waiting for Fate to approach; better
far to 60 forth and meet it in manly
fashion. I had a good strong knife
in my pocket, and the lock Of the door
