 Cling Seng smiled his bland Chinese smile. He had frequent dealings with ship masters engaged in the danger ous, though lucrative, trade of snug gling Chinese into the United States, and while he had not received advice of this particular shipment, he de- cided to go with Captain Scraggs to Jackson street bulkhead and see if he could not be of some use to his coun- trymen.
 As Captain Scraggs and his Chinese companion approached the wharf the skipper glanced warily about. He had small fear that either Gibney or for he knew that MT. Gibney had money in his possession. However, he decided to take no chances, and secuted the vicinity thoroughly before venturing aboard the Maggie. These actions served but to increase the re- spect of Gin Seng for the master of the Maggie and confirmed him in his belief that the Maggie was a snug gler.
 Captain Scraggs took his visitor in- side the little cabin, carefully locked and bolted the door, lifted the zinc flap back from the top of the crate of Oriental goods'' and displayed the face of the dead Chinaman. Also he pointed to the Chinese characters on the wooden lid of the crate.
 "What does these hen scratches mean?" demanded Scraggs.

 MT GIbney was the first to get a peep inside.
 "Great snakes!' he yelled, and fell back against the cabin wall A hoarse scream of rage and horror broke from Captain Scraggs. In his ager- ness he had driven his head so deep into the box that he came within an inch of kissing what the box contain ed-which happened to be nothing more or less than a. dead Chinaman! Mir. McGuffey, always slow and un- imaginative, shouldered the skipper aside, and calmly surveyed the ghasI- ly apparition.

 "Robber!" shrieked Captain Scraggs, and flew at MT. Gibney's throat. The sight reminded McGuffey of a terrier worrying a mastiff. Neverth elesS, Mir Gibney was still so unnerved at the discovery of the horrible contents of the box that, despite his gigantic proportions, he was well-nigh help less.
 "McGuffey, you swab, he yelled. Pluck this maritimeoutlaw off my neck. He's tearing my windpipe out by tn roots.'
 McGuffeE choked Captain Scraggs until he reluctantly let go MT. Gibney, whereupon all three fled from the cabin as from a pestilence, and gath cred, an angry and disappointed group, out on deck.
 "Opium!' jeered Captain Scraggs, with tears of rage in his voice. Gin seng! You and your imagination, you swine. you! Get off my ship, you lout, or I'll murder you"
