crept as far as the companion, the door
of which was open, and gained a view
OF the scene below. 1t was a dismal
hole in the dim light, but presented no
obstacle to our entrance, and l led the
way down the stairs, gripping the rail
to keep from falling.
The door of the captains room gave,
but It required our combined efforts to
press it open against the volume Of
water, slushing about within. For q
mouent my eyes could scarcely recOg-
nize the various objects as ! chung to
the frame of the door and stared blind
ly about in the gloom. Then slowly
they assumed shape and substance.
Screwed to the deck, the furniture re-
tanned its place. but everything else
was TANNED in a mass Of w%reckage, or
else floating about in a foot of water,
deepening toward the stern. There
were two chests in the room, n of
which ] instantly recognized as that OF
Roger Fairfax. The sight Of this made
me ObliviOus to all else.
There's the chest We want, Haines,"
] cried, pointing it out. Have the lads

The white, CHASTITY face stared at us,
looking like nothing human in that
awful twilight. ] actually thought it
a ghost, until with desperate effort the
man lifted himself, ciinging with gaunt
fingers to the edge of the bunk. Then

sat on a grating, his head in his hands,
the girl still clinghg to my sleeve, az
though fearful Of being left alone. The
man was a repulsive brute, his face
stained with blood, dripping from a
cut across his low forehead. He looked
up sulIenly at our approach. but made
no effort to rise.

The Last ct the Kamur.

The vessel WAS plainly Il total wreck,
rapidly pounding IL death On a sharp
ledge Of rock. Both nlasts were down.
and. lifted rs the bow was, il was easy
to perceive the deck was in Spiinters
where falling spirs and tepfpaSts had
crushed their way through. The>b bows
had caught, seemingly .iaIEmed in be-
tween rocks, the stern sunk deep, with
cabin port holes barely above reach of
the waves. Not a living thing appeared
on board. and, as the fog slowly drifted
away, my eyes could discern no sign
of any boat, no evidence of the crew..
along the wide sweep of water. A
voice aroused me.
"WhMt was it you said. Jack, bout
treasure on the old hooker? Why not
get it afOre it's too late?
Its thar, all right. OLE and l knew
the speaker to be Haines. "Ain't it,
Mr.. Carlyle?"

Here is a risky job, but a pocket full
of gold pieces. if we can get aboard
and safely off again. Who'll go across

There was a babel of voices, the men
c%rOwding about ne, all else forgotten
as greed gripped their imaginations.

of you. Four will be enough. You'll
not lose anything of what we bring

/ paused an instant to speak to
Dorothy, seated on the flag locker, ex-
planning to her swiftly my object ia
exploring the wreck and pledging N.Y.
self not to be reckless in attempting
to hoard. ] read fear in her eyes, yet
she said nothing TO dissuade me.
I slipped down Il rope and dropped
into the boat, taking my place with a
steering oar ut the stern. 9nd W. shot

company me, and the others to lie by,
l made use Of IA dangling backStay, and
thus hauled myself up to a reasonably
secure footing. The fellow joined me
GREATNESS, and together we perched
on the rail TO gain view of the deck.
1t was a distressing, hopeless sight,
the vessel rising before US like the
roof of a house, the deck planks stove
if, a horrible tumble of running rig
ging, 5ooms and spars, blocking the
way forward. There were three bodies
tangled in the wreckage within our
sight, crushed out of all human re-
semblance, and the face of a negro,
caught beneath the ruins of the galley,
seemed to grin back at me in death.
Every timber groaned as the waves
struck and rocked. the sodden mass.
and / had no doubt but that the vessel
had already broken in two.
Haines was evidently reluctant, but
sailor enough to follow as l lowered
myself to the deck, clinging hard to
keep my footing on the wet incline. A
