and, as the afternoon wore slowly
away, 1t seemed to me we were scarce
ly moving, the reverberation Of the
screw being barely perceptible. To as
sure myself that the course / had
mapped out was still being adhered to.
I vehtured into the cabin for a glance
at the telltale compass. We were
headed to the west of south.
The man Simms was on guard, lolling
against the butt of the mizzen mast,
with no one else visible. To test his
orders, turned toward the closed door
Of Miss Carrington's stateroom. In
stantly he was on his feet to interfere.

but had scarcely uttered a word, when
Mccain emerged from his stateroom,
leaving the door atar, and crossed the
deck to face me.
"What Is the trouble here, Simms7"
he asked, the harshness of his tone DIFF
fering greatly from the pleasant con-
versation at dinner.
'Mr. Hollis was going to rap on the
lady's door, SIR"
"Oh, he was. heyi Well, now see

he sneered. "for there Is crew enough

You can go in quietly. or I'll call them
down, and have you thrown in. So
take your choice"
looked at the two of them, eager
enough myself to make 1t a fight. Yet
what was the use? Any excuse en-
abling him to conflne me more closely
would evidently be to his advantage.
I conquered myself. and hands
clinched, crossed the deck space, and
entered my stateroom, closing the door.
I heard Mccain laugh, and say some
thing to Simms then knew he crossed
the cabin, and went up the stairs. To
better control myself thrust my face
out through the open port, breathing in
the salty freshness Of the air.
Suddenly became aware that others
had entered the main cabin. There was
no sound Of voices; nothing to tell me
