aboard realized that this had been an
expedition Of some Importance, the cul-
mination of their long wait on the

chief, in the spoils Of which they ex-
pected to share. Moreover this boat
approaching through the darkness was

the temper OF the crew--thelr feverish
eagerness to be again at sea, under
command of captain whom they both
hated and feared-a cruel. cold-blood-
ed monster. yet genius in crime. and
a natural leader of such men as these.

comments. their expectations, with
