somewhere aboard, hidden in some
black corner, lurked an irresponsible
being, with murder In his crazed brain |;
a being devoid Of oil impulse, save the
frenzy of hate, the desire for destruc-
tisn. yet the sight Of that cool, silent
deck, already darkened By the gath
ering shadows Of night, instantly
Gained NE, and brought back my pow
ers of reasoaing. The man was not
aft; then he must be forward. It was
impossible to hi-ie long on shipboard in
the face Of an Intelligent search. OF
one thing was decided-if the fellow
had. indeed, succeeded in slipping for
ward unobserved. he was never to be
permitted to return aft again unseen.
I would. first Of all, see to 1t that the
decks were guarded. and then the rest
of US would hunt him in his hole.

the cabin, and keep your eyes open.

could not hate the man, or seek him
evil-but l could dread him. That was
the whole Of thread! Here was
man crazed, murderously insane, who
had safely tasted blood, whose insan-
ity had been caused by fear, and brood
ing over a great wrong. In his disor
dered brain mad, desperate desire for
revenge had overshadowed all else. To
obtain this no deed was impossible, no
crime too hideous. And this creature
was hidden somewhere between decks,
and, unless discovered and made cap
tive, held in his hands the fate Of every
soul on board. The thought of what he
might do during the black darkness Of
the night terrorized me. At any cost
we must have him within our control !;
we dare not even wait to hope that the
man might reveal himself-we must

men, hiding none OF my own fear, but
making them comprehend the des-
perate need Of thorough and ceaseless
search. The look on their faces evil
denced that my words had gone home.

enough" insisted Leayord. ''We1l nab

ing his hands. HE sure amt aft thar

me.

The door was two-thirds shut, aud
we slid 1t wide open to gain entrance,
feeling our way cautiously down the
steps. The place had never been q
sea-parlor. but now, deserted by the
crew, 1t presented as dismal q scene, In
the dim light Of the lantern, as ever
put my foot into. The air was foul
with bflge-water, while rotting ear
ments hung to the beams above, or
were strewn along the deck. The shed-
ows were gr0tesQue and hideous, and
much Of the space was cluttered up by
discarded sea boots, battered chests
and miscellaneous riffraff which the
men had left behind In their fight. I
stopped at the foot of the steps, but
Leayord and Red advanced to the tier
OF hunks, the former lifting the Ian
tern, while the latter took survey with
