CHAPTER XIII.
The City Among the Leaves and the

The City Among the Leaves and the
City OF 6eeuars.
The night was moonless and warm.
An impalpable haze dimmed the star

the open sea enabled the passengers
Of the Fair Play to identify that

the bridge with the captain. Two men
were taking soundings In a blind

strokes.
A mile-two miles-it seemed like

black hiatus of still water showed in
phosphorescent foam. O'Rellly ex-

toward the ship. Soon he and his crew
were aboard and the ship was cropping
her way toward the b. enlS in the reef.
Meanwhile, her deck became scene
