man of the committee, after numerous
apologies had been made, 'of a little
story. Several days ago we were Wis
tied by a severe windstorm, which
caused considerable damage in this
neighborhood In addition to several
trees several rods of fence were blown
down on my place about three miles
from town. Meeting old Pete, the col
ored man of all work of our town,
asked him to go out and repair the
fence
"There is no particular hurry about
it, / told him, 'but we are going to
butcher on Tuesday, and If you can
be there on that day we will give you

CHAPTER vII.--contlnued.

The captain had spent weeks on the
island. He had put all the results of
his Investigations into his letter to
Donald. He described deliberately the
structure of the monsters, tracing the
notifications of the gills, air bladders,
fms and flippers.
Lastly, he told Donald the secret
Of controlling them. And this was so
amazing that MacBeard almost doubt
ed 1t.
Unfortunately, two pages were miss
ing, and these contained part of the
Instructions for keeping the monsters
IN subsection. And, what alarmed
MacBeard, the manuscript ended with
the statement that the Eruption was
pot likely to prove of permanent in
jury to humanity, because
However, MacBeard cared little for
this In his supreme Joy. His dreams
took definite shape at last, rushing into
the concrete with a violence that sent
him into an ecstasy. He saw the man
Of the future, the superman, who was
already at hand, irresistible by reason
of his numbers, strength and cunning.
And he saw himself, the ruler of q new
world which had never heard of the
eighth commandment.
Next morning he left Baltimore in
his motorboat. 1t was constructed so
as to be practically unsuitable, and he
had stored it with provisions, gaso-
line and instruments. He had several
weeks supplies on board. He was de-
pendent on no one.
He started northwaFd at once,
passed within few miles of the F55
upon his course, and reached Fair
island. When he set foot upon its
rocky, lonely shores, he knew that at
last his time had come. His revenge
upon the race was ripening, and he
meant to exercise it to the full.
His first act was to explore the
Island. He discovered with his plum
NETS that Masterman had been correct
in tracing the prolongation of the
south spur of the continental shelf. He
discovered that Fair island was th'
peak of subterraneaa range ascend
ing sharply from a great depth.
AT distance of about three hundret
feet beneath the surface there was
sort Of cup or crater i'm the mountain
teeming with unknown forms of sub
marine life.
| He found the stores which had beel
left by the oil-ship, but there was M
sign of any airplane. However, sine,
MacBeard did not know that one wa
to have been sent, he did not expec
to find one.
Stocking cave with provisions, h,
made himself at home there, and a
once set out to investigate the pres
ence of Masterman's monsters.

"Aye, aye, sir!" said Clouts, hurry
ing off toward the petrol engines.

minute or two, II have theory about

''What, sir?" inquired the MILDLY.
swell, remember that yesterday
they seemed to attack US more saw
agely when the sun went down, or at
least when the fog made the air OBJ
scure. And last night there was a
moon. 1t occurs to me that possibly
they can't bear light. OF course that
would be natural, and they left us
about the time the moon rose. So if
they are nocturnal in their habits that
would account for our immunity now.
If am right, we are learning their
limitations fast"
you're right, sir" replied the MILDLY
with conviction. "Only-"
"Weu have some information to
carry back then, Davies, besides a
scare. And it looks as if humanity
won't have to fight so very hard to
save itself. 1 beg your pardon--you
were going to say something?'
II was thinking, sir, that they
seemed to go when the whistle blew
"What whistle, Davies?"

Davies" he said formally. "Now, Da-
vies, I'll go and help Clouts with the
engines. Don't be alarmed to be alone
for minute or two, Ida"
The MILDLY saluted, and went to his
post at the diving station. Already
the F55 was throbbing with the vibra-
ton of the engines, and the sound was
the most grateful that their ears could
have imagined.
"Don't open the DOORS" said Don
aid, kissing Ida hastily.
He was off, and the girl remained
alone within the tower of steel She
glanced about her in dismay. 1t felt
like a steel prison. She felt the flool

Donald took match from his silver
box and struck it. The water had not
penetrated--it burst into flame. He
looked at his watch and saw that it
was half past eight.
1T must be growing daylight above"
he said to Davies. Il am sure that
the beasts are gone. 1 think I'll go
up and see whether can start the en-
gines."
Let me go, SIR" said the MILDLY.
You will remain here in charge
said Donald. "Give me your back,
Clouts y
Hosting himself upon the shoulders
of the sailor, Donald clambered up the
pipe and reached the passage above.
There was stencil of fishy bodies, but
he was certain that the monsters were
gone.
He assembled the ladder into the con-
ming tower and threw of the hatch.
Instantly gust of fresh air, driving
in. made him reel dizzily. He realized
that he had been breathing the de-
pleted, Initiated atmosphere of the tor
pedo room all nigh.
He waited till he had recovered;
then he unfastened the door and clam
bered out upon the deck, which lay al
most level with the surface of the
ocean.
He found that the F55 was strand
ed upon shelving beach that extend
ed from the Fair island rocks. The
tide was rising, and they would soon
be afloat. An immense citation filed
his heart as he realized that the her-
rors of the night were past.
From the electric engines he went
to the petrol motors. These appeared
to be in good order. The oil fuel was
low, but there seemed to be a sufTi-
cheney to take the F55 to Lerwick
without the necessity of delaying in
order to search for a deposit on the
island. The run would be of a few
hours only, and Donald was anxious
not to delay. Davies and he and
Clouts could manage the boat during
the brief journey, and there would be
no need of the electric engines, since
no danger was apprehended which
might neeessitate their submerging.
During his journey about the boat
he convinced himself that the sailors
had been dragged overheard. This was
more merciful for the survivors. There
was not a trace Of any of the seven
VINO had died.
