My eyes were heavy from lack OF
sleep, and long staring out through the
black night my senses dulled by hours
of inactiOn, during which nothing un-
usual had occurred to arouse me to
realization of impending danger. / no
longer even suspected trouble, Or any
active hostility forward. With the
dawn the density of fog enwrapping
us seemed to increase, and completely
blot out every glimpse of sea and sky
Even Leayord leaned over the rail
just above me, could scarcely be dis
tinguished as a man, and evidently his
eyes could not make me out at all, for
he hailed doubtfully:

open port through which it streamed.
Then I knew where I was lying--in
the captains staterOom. Why had l
been brought there? What object could
those villains have for giving me these
quarters il they were really in control
of the ship? Perhaps they were not;
perhaps Leayord and Olson had been
warned of danger in time to overcome
them, and still retained command.
That would account for my presence
but, If this was true, why was left
alone, uncared for? Why had they
brought me here? Gradually the con-
ception of their purpose daWned--a
navigator; the need of navigator.
Without me they were helpless; with
out my knowledge and skill not one
on board could tell where they were,
Or how to shape the course of the YES
sci. I was a necessity to them; in a
way I held the villains still in my
power; they dare not let me die-not
yet! / cannot explain the new life
this thought brought to me. seemed
to feel the strength of it injected into
my veins, and rose up on one elbow,
and then, encouraged by this effort

bunk and rested them on the deck.
The hands Of my watch told me it was
after eleven. I got to my feet, cling

movement. The chart still lay on the
desk, our course pricked on it up until
the day before, and the telltale COM

across to the door, and tugged at the
latch. It was locked.

be learned-but they must seek some
obscure port, or some safe spot for

to their own safety-and, to accom-

Local Saloon Keepers Find Them

The New Britain Liquor Dealers
association held an important meet
ing yesterday afternoon when a num-
Der Of matters were brought up for
discussion. Principal among them
was the rapid increase in the cost
Of beer at wholesale. The price at

the past
The local saloon men are not 60
ing to advance the price right away,
it being decided that something be
done about meeting with the brewers.
The latter. it is argued by some of

stand part Of the increase, rather
than place the entire burden on the
dealer and the consumer
