Drop that club, Cochose, and throw
away your knife. You and 1 will fight

His dull brain worked slowly, and
he stared at me, his eyes ugly. His
silence and lack of response, awoke q
growl from the impatient circle Of
men behind. One fellow kicked the
club out of his hand contemptuously
and another plucked the knife from
his belt.
You big skulker," the latter said
with an oath of derision, Ego on, and

one by one. Ignoring the indignant

mltted my eyes to survey the deck, as
| hastily considered our next action.

his men surging after, with steel
blades flaming In the sunlight. The
astounded watch, cursing and fighting
grimly, held for q moment, and then
went staggering back against the port
rail, unable to stem the rush, and roar
ing for mercy. I had view of Carlson
dropping recklessly down the forecas-
tie scuttle, and then sprang forward
myself to give a hand to the four
wrestling with the main hatch. To-
gethev we dragged It into position,
forcing relentlessly back as we did so,
dozen struggling figures frahtlcally
endeavoring to reach the deck. Shots
were fred, the bullets whiStiing
through the opening, the flare lighting
up the black depths below, revealing
vnguely q mass Of frantic men staring
UP, and curslng us fercely in a dozen
languages; Dut, in spite Of them, We
clamped the hate: down tight, and
locked 1t securely into place with an
iron bar.
Watkins needed 10 help: he had mis-
party rounded up. To my orders they
were driven into the cooks galley aud
guard stationed at the door. Then /
turned to the more serious work con-
fronting me In the forecastle. We
must have men enough to sail the
borl and ~ 1 xvna IN command them
l must first of all prove my courage
and enforce authority. The whole sue.
cess of our effort depended on this.
"What's going on belOw7" l asked
"Cursin' mostly" answered Carter
peering down through a slight uptilt
ing Of the scuttle. "They don't Just

"All right-CarlSon II IS then. You

"Tll come down to you Carlson as
soon as we have the deck. 1t ought
not to take more than five minutes TO

carronade. Watkins, you and Carter
hand out the cutlasSes from the rack
you boys will handle those better than
firearms. Good; now are. you all
readyr
There was q low murmur of voices,
the faces watching me showing their
increasing excitement and eagerness.
Our little talk had served to arouse
their confidence in my leadership, and
with cleaning weapons in their hands
they became self-reliant volunteers.

whispered a parting word of adj
monition into the ear of Dorothy, re-
ceiving in return II glance from her
eyes, which gave new throb to my
heart; then Strengthened up, and pis-
tol in hand, pushed my way through
the throng Of sailors TO the foot Of the
stairs.
"FOllow me, lads" I said quietly,
We emerged through the companion,
and l stepped aside as the others
rushed by. There was no shout, no
cheer, the fellows seeming TO realize
the desperate nature of their work,
and the Importance of surprise. They
were outnumbercd five to one, and
their only hope of success lay In ren-
dering their opponents helpless before
they could rally to defense. All the
pent-up hate Of years was In their
hearts, blazed madly in their eyes (;
they were tigers leaping at the throat
of their prey, yet sane enough TO com
prehend even in their bloOd-rage that
they must act together. 1t was over
so quickly / scarcely saw it all. My
eyes swept from group to group-the
four toiling at the cover Of the main
hatch; the fellows racing toward the
forecastla; and Watkins squad driv-
Ing straight into the grouped watch
beyond the foremast. 1t was smartly
done; Watkins had taken no cutlass,
but went in with both fists, asking no
questions, but battering right and left,

slip quietly on deck. Then Wen get
these arms in the rack here, and be
ready for busIness-the rest will be
done in a hurry. I'll wait here for
your report"
At the very best Watkins could
scarcely perform the task assigned
him In less than an hour. The success
or failure of our effort depended en-
tirely upon taking these fellows by
complete surprise. If it came to an
open fight our cause was hopeless, for
that would mean fourteen or fifteen
men unarmed, pitted against over a
hundred thoroughly equipped and
trained fighters. Only by confning
them below, with matches battened
down, and carronade trained upon
them, would we be safe.
