cat boat at home in Hampstead Har-
bour than we've had on this whole

to his bunkie early one morning
when it was not quite time for rails

marked sleepily.
For moment there was silence.
Then. as quick as lightning both
lads were out on the floor. 1t seem
ed to them both as they picked
themselves up, as if the ship had
struck a mountain while going at
the rate of an express train.

shouted.

his life-belt and coat, felt the boat
SILVER and begin to settle. He and
his bunkie hastily went TO their po-

captain, pointing to a boat that was
already being lowered into the water
from the fast sinking ship.

crew found itself being tossed about

that had stirred for days.

men.
