Chains Slip and Craft Drops Back.
The hoists did not work right. the
chains slipped and the H-3 returned to
its old position. After some time the
rescuers succeeded in passing new
chain under the submarine, which
slowly raised by the stern so that the
bow would be tipped as little as pos
sible. While this maneuver was being
made tug cut the telephone cOnnec-
ton and communication with the sunk.
en- vessel was again cut off and was
not re-established.
The hours passed In extreme an.
guish, the victims believing that the
attempts 10 save them were useless,
and those making the attempts think
ing it was already too late to rescue
their brave companions alive. But
the work was continued with energy,
and at length the stern came to the
surface.
That was the most solemn moment
of the whole operation. Few believed
that any of the crew would still be
alive and that all they had done was
to raise out of the sea coffin contain
ing q bodies.
With no means for communication
with the submarine to let the men
know that the stern was already
above water, one of the sailors tapped
the Morse code with a hammer on the
outside. few minutes passed and
the hatchway was opened man
appeared, exhausted, pale and his eyes
bloodshot One by one the rest fol-
lowed.
Then when it was thought that only
the captain was still on board: it was
found that two men were missing.
Captain Del Solar descended again
into the submarine and found u ma
chinist still calklng and a fireman still
AT the pump. Neither of rhe two had
received orders to come out and they
remained at their posts.
The CHILEAN submarine HIS was des-
ignated with the number E-12 in the
English navy. 1t was the belief of
the sailors that because it had borne
this number il was certain to come to
harm.
1t was said that the accident was
caused by the breaking of the bottom
of the tank in the battery. At the
time of the accident the automatic
scaphanderS for the rescue of the
crew were not on board. They had
been taken to the arsenal for repairs.

And what will you tell them, Sc
nor?"
caught my breath. conscious of
his meaning. My secret hope could
not be revealed to this fellow. The
answer came quickly to my lips.
'"The whole truth, Senior LeVere-
that Manuel conspired to seize the
bark through mutiny of the bucca-
| neers; that these were to be turned
loose with license to kill anyone on
board who opposed them; that their
real purpose was to divide among
themselves all the treasure below.

then wreck the vessel and escape with
it. That to this end Estada had al
ready been murdered. l shall explain
that we discovered this conspiracy
just in time to save them from butch
cry, and they must stand by us or
else submit to those hell-hounds."
"And after that, senor?"
'Why, Porto Grande, of course"
admitted heartily. 1.-THE men will un-
derstand what that means-a handful
of gold for each of them and run
ashore. Why, LeVere, they will make
more apiece than by looting a half
dozen ships, and with no fighting. It
will be fortune for you and me-"
His somber eyes lighted up, startled
by this new idea, and he sprang to
his feet.
"You mean that, senior! We divide
what is below and sail for Porto
Grande? hear you right? You not
mean surrender? You stay pirate?"
laughed, my nerves tingling to the
success of my ruse-he had taken the
tempting bait like hungry fish.
"Why, Of course. I am not such q
fool as to throw away this chance.
This issour chance. LeVere. If we put
the Namur into Porto Grande, with
Sanchez on board and alive, and those
hellhounds locked below, We'll get any
thing we ask for. Wen be the cocks
OF the walk. IL he shouldn't live
through, why then we'll have ship,
and can run the game alone. Either
way. If we win, the prize is ours-and
IL we stick together we VIM
My apparent enthusiasm caught the
fellow. I could read the working Of
his mind In his face. This new view
of the situation promised wealth,
power, the total defeat of Estevan !;
everything he most desired.
"You think Senior Sanchez live"
"What difference? If he lives he
owes his life to us. If he dies the bark
Is In our hands, and the treasure.
Once we have won we care nothing
If he live or die. Are we together in
this?"
He thrust out a lean yellow hand,
and l gripped it.
Isl, senior; l al with you"
"You pledge your word, Francois7 p
II pledge it, senor."
Good And you have mine. Now
to work-first Manuel Estevan, and
then the men on deck"
