 "Is that you, captain? What hap pened? Who went overboardY
 'McCann; he's astern of you, and you better pick him up as you go. Move quick You haven't second to lose. Man. you'll be sucked under, If you don't let go"
 They were seamen enough to realize the imminent danger of their position. Liverpool and White both called out, and the others, grasping their oars, backed water furiously. I saw Sachs tumble back into the boat. and face or two staring upward Voices roared at us, the fellows cursing lustily; then the darkness seemed to swallow them tremor of the deck blanks that we were underway. I sprang to Vera, and lifted her to her feet.
 You are not hurt? 2"
 "No, only frightened and bruised. He threw me to the deck. Are we safe? Have they all gone?"
 "Yes all who can make any resist. ance. Hold her just as she is Olson i; there's a bone in her teeth already |; it will take more than oars to overhaul us. Does anyone know If those fellows picked up McCann?"

I got it fairly within my focus, but the occupants were indistinguishable at that distance: all I could be sure of was that the fellows were engaged in rigging up Jury mast for sail. and that they were no longer attempting to pursue us, or making any effort to re- foln the other boats.
 Do you see 'em, sir?" asked Lea yord. impatience overcoming him.
 "Yes; Liverpool's boat is out there, heading due west, and the men are rig ging sail"
 And the others, sirT
 "To starboard, at least quarter Of a mile away"
