Dear Sir:
Il want to acknowledge your letter

letter from Mr. Geo. f. Rullman. City
Counsellor for the Mayor and City
Council Council of Annapolis. Md
This complaint is apparently
based on poor quality and insufficient
pressure. As TO the question of poor
quality we can only reply by stating
that our records. which are made tri-
weekly, indicate that the gas furnish
ed in Annapolis is of a higher quality
than required under the rulings OF
the Public Service Commission OF
Maryland We have for sometime rea-
LIKED that the pressure conditions in

CHAPTER xI.
The Return of the Boat.

The crew hurried over to the port rail. Beyond doubt most of those aboard realized that this had been an expedition of some importance, the cuI- imitation of their long wait on the coast, part of some scheme of their chief, in the spells of which they ex- pected to. share. Moreover this boat approaching through the darkness was bringing back their leader, and how ever else they might feel toward him, the reckless daring, and audacious re- SourcefulncSs of Sanchez meant sue cess.

Much could not translate, yet enough reached my ears to rnnTince me of the temper of the creW--their feTerish eagerness to be again at sea, under command of Il 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.

 Levere shouted an order, and a sud- den flare was lighted amidships, the circle of flame Illuminating n part of the deck, and spreading out over the wild expanse of water. Scarcely had a minute elapsed before 1t came sweep ing into the radius of light-at first dim. spectral shadow, scarcely 10 be recognized; then. almost as suddenly, revealed in all Its details-a boat Of size. flying toward us under lug sail, keeling we'll over, and topping the sea swells like a bird on wing. LeVere called for men to stand by, the fellows rushing past me to their stations, but, in the fascination of the moment, l failed to move. I could do nothing but stare out across the intervening Wa ter. with eyes fastened on that swiftly approaching boat I must see, l must know the message 1t brought; what story it held of the tragedy. Manuel held the tiller, with Estada seated be- side him, leaning forward, and ges- ticulating with one hand, as he direct ed the course. had never seen these two, yet knew them beyond doubt. Mendez and Anderson Cat least l sup posed these to be the two) were poised at the sail halyards, ready to let the straining sheet down at a run, while Cochose crouched low in the bow, his black hand uplifted, gripping q coil of rope. Their faces were all turned for ward, lighted by the flare from our deck, and l felt a shudder of fear run over memo expression on any coun- tenance spoke of defeat; even the ugly features of the negro beamed with de- light.
 But was that all? Was that all2 Surely not. Forward of the single mast was slowed the chest, while in the open space between the helmsman and the two sailors were stretched two motionless bodies. LeVere, gripping q stay-rope, and leaning we'll out, hailed in Spanish.
 "Ahoy, the boat You can make it?"
 "AyI came back Estada's voice. "Stand by to fend us off. Call ali hands. and break anchor as soon as we are aboard"
 every we'll, sir. Where Is Captain SanchezT
 Estada pointed downward in swift, expressive gesture.
 Here at my feet-badly hurt, but will recover. Send two men down to help when we make fast. Now, Co., chose-let go of your rope; watch out abovep
 I stood, gripping hard at the rail, and staring down at the scene below, as the men in the boat made fast. l felt paralyzed, and helpless, unable 10 move. I had no business to remain there; every prospect of security de- pended on my joining the crew. Yet only one thought gripped me-Sanchez was not deadi And that other bodyf That of Dorothy Fairfax, without doubt, yet certainly not lifeless. If their prisoner was the girl-and who else could 1t be?-she remained alive. helplessly bound to prevent either struggle, or outcry, and destined to a fate far worse than death.
 My own life hung in the balance nay, rather, my doom was already sealed. There seemingly was but one chance for escape left-that was to drop silently overheard. God, no ! that

 Her gaze settled on him. where he hung far out, grasping a backstay, watching the movements below. and her slender form strengthened as by the acquisition of new strength.
 "If these creatures will take their hands of me-" she said. using their tongue without tremor in the clear voice. "I can easily go up alone. What Is 1t you are so afraid of-a womanT
 The expression of Estada's face promised an outburst of profanity, but, instead of giving 1t utterance, he lifted his cap in sudden pretense at gall lantry.
 "Your pardon, senorita," he said in a tone of mockery. If you have come to your senses at last, 1t Is we'll. Leave her alone, men. Now, my beauty, nm taking you at your own word-a step, and then the protection of my hand. We welcome you, as guest aboard" !"
 A moment and she had attained the

would be the craven act of a coward. Better far to stay, and kill, or even be killed, than to be forever cursed by my own conscience.
 The fellows sent down from the main chains to the boat brought the injured captain up first. This required the services of three men, his body hanging limp between them, his up- turned face showing ghastly in the flaming of the torch thrust out over the rail. To every appearance it was apparently a corpse they handled, ex- cept for their tenderness, and n single groan to which the white lips gave ut terance, when one of the bearers slipped, wrenching the wounded body with sharp pang of pain. Once safe ly on deck, the three bore him across to the after cabin and disappeared down the steps.
 Estadl had already lung himself up into the chains, while Anderson anG Mendez were lifting the girl to her feet. and rather roughly urging her forward. Her eyes reflected all the unutterable horror which for the moment dominated her mind, while her loosencd hair, disarranged by struggle. only served to intensity the pallor of her face.
 Hustle her along lively, boys" shouted back Estada coarsely. "If she won't move give her a shove. Then tie her up again, and take the turn of a rope round her What do you think

 Thanks, senorita-thanks," he be- gan softly. and again lowing before her, cap in hand. We greet you with due honor aboard the Namur-"
 Enough of that, you coward, you murderer" she broke in coldly. Do not touch nor speak to me-"
 She turned her back on him, thus coming face to face with LeVere, who stood enjoying the scene, wide grin on his dark face, revealing a row of white teeth under Jet-black mus tache.
 You, sir-you are an officerf"
 "I have charge of the deck.'
 Then where am to go7"
 The mulatto, surprised by the sud- den question, glanced inquiringly toward Estada, who had already com pletely lost his sense of humor.
 "Gol" the latter growled. "Why send the wench below. I'll see to her later, and teach her who is the master here. or with her now, but be back quickly" He leaned out over the rail, sending his grufr voice below. "Send up that chest, you men. Hook on the boat, Manuel, and let her drag; we must get out of here In hurry. All ready, aloft7" z
 "Ay, ay, sir"
 "Then sheet home; how is it for rard?"
 Both anchors apeak, sir"
 "Smartly done-hard down with your helm thereI That's 1t; now let her play off slowly"
 He caught sight of me. All the saw age brutality of his nature had been brought to the surface by Dorothy's stfnging words, and he sought now some fit opportunity to give 1t vent. Before could move, he had gripped me by the collar, and swung me about, so that the light streaming out from the cabin fell directly on my face.
 "What the devil are you doing, loaf Ing aft here? I've seen you hanging about for ten minutes, never lifting hand. Who are you anyhowf
 "Joe Gates, sir"
 "Gates-another damned English mani How did you ever get aboard here2"
 It was the returning LeVere who made explanation before could reply.
 "Manuel brought him on board last night. Picked him up drunk ashore"
 T see. We'll now, do you happen to have anyaidea who nm, Gatesr
 "No, sir-only that you are one of the officers"
 "I am the first officer, and in com inand at present. Pedro Estada is my hame. Now, you damned English whelp, remember that I"
 Before I even suspected what was coming, his unexpected action as swift us the leap of a poised tiger, he struck me fairly between the eyes with the butt of a pistol, and I went down sprawling onto the deck. For a mo- ment I seemed, in spite of the vicious ness of the blow, to retain a spark of consciousness, for I knew he kicked me savagely with his heavy sea boots; I felt the pain, and even heard the words, and curses, accompanying each brutal stroke.
