"HE is DEAD!"

sis.-Loitering on the San
Francisco water front, John Raj
ney. newspaper reporter, is accost-
ed by a giant blind man, who asks
Raney TO lead him aboard the
sealing schooner karluk. In the
cabin they find Captain Simms and
a man named Carlson. Simms rec
oguizes the blind man, calling him
Jim Lund. Lund accuses SImms OF
abandoning him, blind, on an Ice
foe, and denounces him. Simms
denies the charge, but Lund re-
fuses to be pacified. He declares
his intention Of accompanying the
Karluk on its expedition north,
where Il is going In quest OF a gold
field which Lund has discovered.
Peggy, Simms' daughter, Is aboard,
and defends her father. Carlson
who is a physician as we'll as first
mate, drugs Rainey. Awaking from
his stupor, Rainey finds himself at
sea. Garrison informs him he has
been kidnapped. He offers Rainey
share of the gold, and Rainey Is
forced to declare himself satisfied.
Lund gives him a brief account OF
a former expedition of the Karluk,
tells him he distrusts Carlson, and
suggests a partnership" Rainey

SImms is I'll and the navigation is
entirely In the hands of Garrison.
At the latter's suggestion shoot

the pistol and Lund does some as
tonishing shooting by sound"
Sandy, the ships boy, is swept
overlooked and is rescued by Raj
ney, who thus wins 4'eggy's admi-
ration. The captain gets worse.
Sandy tells how Garrison is stirring
up trouble over the division of the
gold. Garrison draws gun on Raj
ney, who overpowers him. Tamada,
the mysterious Japanese. cook, de-
clares himself neutral. Lund, his
sight restored, kills Carlson.
