scRAGes IS ONE LUCKY SEA DOG.

ynOpsls.-Captain Phineas p. Scraggs
has grown up around the docks of San
Francisco, and from mess boy on a river
steamer. risen to the ownership of the
steamer Maggie. Since each annual In
spection promised to be the last of the old
weatherbeaten VESSEL Scraggs naturally
has some difficulty in securing a crew.
When the story opens. Adelbert p. Gibney,
iikable, but erratic, man whom nobody
but Scraggs would hire. is the skipper,
Neils Halvorsen, solemn Swede, constl-
tutes the forcastle hands. and Bart Nc
Gufey. wastrel of the Gibney t:Tn.
relgns in the engine room. With this
motley crew and his ancient vessel. Cap
tain Scraggs is engaged in freighting gar
den truck from Hafmoon bay to San
Maggie going ashore in fog. A
passing vessel hailing the wreck. Mr..
Gibney gets word to a towing company
In San Francisco that the ship ashore Is
the Yankee Prince. with promise of
rich salvage. Two tugs succeed in pulling
the Maggie into deep water and she slips
her tow lines and gets away in the fog
Furious at the deception practised on
them, Captains Hicks and Flaherty, com-
manding the two tugboats ascertain the
identity of the Yankee Prince and. fear
ing rdicule should the facts become
known along the water front, determine
on personal vengeance. Their hostile
visit to the Maggie results in Captain
scraggs promising to get a new boiler
and make needed repairs to the steamer

rooms preferred to your comp'ny, an
by stayin' a minute longer, in defiance
O. my orders, you're layin' yourselves
liable to charge o. piracy"
Mr.. Gibney carefully laid his pipe
aside and stood up. He was quite an
imposing spectacle In his bare feet,
with his trousers rolled up to his great
knees, thereby revealing his scarlet
flannel underdrawers. With a stified
groan, McGuffey rose and stood beside
his partner, and Mr.. Gibney spoke:
"Scraggs, be reasonable. We amt
lookin' for trouble; not because we
don't relish It. for we do where a
couple o. scabs is concerned, but for
the simple reason that we ain't In the
best o. condition to receive 1t, al
though IL you force Ii on us we'll do
our best. If you chuck us Off the Mag
gle an force us to walk back to San
Francisco. we're goin' to be reported
as missin'. Honest. now, Scraggsy,
old side-winder, you amt goin' to
maroon us here, alone with the yege-
tables, are your
"You done me dirt. You quit me
cold. Git out. Two can play at a
dirty game an every dog must have
his day. This is my day, Glib. Scat!"
Personally" McGuffey announced
quietly. Il prefer to die aboard the
Maggie, II have to. This amt NOV.
in day with B. McGuffey, Esquire"
~Them's my sentiments. too,
Scraggsy."
"Then defend yourselves. Come on,
lads. Bear hand an wen bounce
these muckers overheard" The
Squarehead hung back. having no in
tention of waging war upon his late
comrades. but the engineer and the
new navigating officer stepped briskly
forward. for they were about to fight
for their Jobs. Mr.. Gibney halted the
advance by lifting both great hands
In deprecatory manner.
For heavens sake, Scraggsy, have
a heart. Don't force us to murder
you. If we're peaceabIe, what's to
prevent you from givin' us passage
back to San Francisco, where we're
known an where we'll have at least
fghtin' chance to git somethin' to
eat occasionally"
You know mighty we'll what's to

Hurry up with them eggs, Scraggs,
he rumbled. "Me an GIBBS walked
down from the city an we're hungry.
Jawn D. Rockerfeller'd give million
dollars for my appetite. Fry mine
hard, Scraggsy. want sometin'

"Get off my ship, you murderin' pi-
rates." Scraggs screamed.
"Not till we've et," the practical
minded engineer retorted. "Even then
we won't get off. Me an Glib aunt
got any feet left, Scraggs. If we had
to walk another step we'd be crippled
for life. Fry my eggs hard. l tell
you"
"This is piracy, men. It's robbery
on the high seas, an / can put you
over the road for it." Scraggs warned
them. whats more. I'll do it."
1.-THE eggs, Scraggsy," doomed Mr..
Gibney. "the eggs"
Half an hour later, as the pirates.
replete with provender, sat dangling
their damaged underpinning over the
stern railing where the gentle wave
lets laved and cooled them, Captain
Scraggs accompanied by the new navi-
eating officer, the new engineer. and
The Squarehead, came aft. The Grip
Piles looked up. surveyed their success
sors in Office. and found the sight far
from reassuring.

CHAPTER v.

A week had elapsed and nothing of
an eventful nature had transpired to
disturb the routine of life aboard the
Maggie, until Bartholomew McGuffey,
having heard certain waterfront whis-
pers, considered 1t the part of pru-
dence to lay his information before
Scraggs and Mr.. Gibney.
Look here, Scraggs," he began
briskly Its all fine an dandy to
promise me new boiler, but when dc
] gift It"
"Why, jes' as soon as we can get
this giut o. freight behind us, Bart.
my boy You've managed with the old
boiler this long. so 1t pears to me you
might be patient an bear with 1t a
mite longer, Bart"
"Oh, amt tryin' to be disagreeable,
Scraggs, only 1t sort o. worries me to
have to go along without bein' able TO
use our whistle"
"Well fix 1t when business Stacks
up" Scraggs decided with finality. He
glanced at his watch. "Sufferin'
sailor" he cried In simulated dis
tress. Here it's one o'clock an amt
collected dollar O. the freight money
from the last voyage. must beat it."
Wheh Captain Scraggs had "beaten
It," Gibney and McGuffey exchanged
expressive glances. Hes runnln out
on u.s. McGuffey complained.
Even so. Bart, even so. Therefore.
the thing for us to do is to run out
on him. In other words, we'll work
month, save our money, an then, with
out word o. complaint or argument,
We'll walk out"
"Oh, l amt exactly broke, Glib. l
got eighty-five dollars"
'SThen," quoth Glbney decisively.
well go on strike tonight. Scraggsy'll
be stuck In port week before he can
get another engineer an another nayi.
gatin' officer, me an you bein' the
only two natural-born fools In San

fore three days have passed he'll be

Il don't want no compromise. What
want Is a new boiler"
you'll git 1t. Wen make him order
the paint an the boiler an nav for
both In advance before we'u agree Ia
60 back TO work"
The engineer nodded his approval
and after sealing their pact with p
hearty handshake, they turned to and
commenced dlscharging the Maggie
When Captain Scraggs returned "a
the little steamer shortly after five
o'clock, to his great amazement. he
discovered Mr.. Gibney and McGuffey
dressed In their other suits-includine
celluloid collars and cuffs.
"The cargo's out, Scraggsy. nv son.

Likewise In mine," McGufrey
added.
