at the signal wire that led to the
engine room, with the intention OF
giving McGuffey four bells-the signal
aboard the Maggie for full speed
astern. At the second jerk the wire
broke, but not until two bells had
sounded in the engine room-the signal
for full speed ahead. The efficient
McGuffey promptly kicked her wide
open, and the Fates decreed that,
having done SO, Mr.. McGuffey should
forthwith climb the ladder and thrust
his head out on deck for breath OF
fresh air. Instantly chorus Of
shrieks up ON the fo'castle head at
tracted his attention to such degree
that he failed to hear the engine room
bowler as Mr. Gibney blew frantically
into 1t.
Presently, out Of the hubbub for
ward, Mr.. McGuffey heard Captain
Scraggs vail frantically: "Stop her!
For the love of heaven, stop her" In
stantly the engineer dropped back into
the engine room and set the Maggie
full speed astern;; then he grasped the
bowler and held it to his ear.
"Stor her" he heard Gibney shrek.
"Why in blazes don't you stop her?''
"She's set astern, Glib. She'll ease
up in a minute"
"You know it," Gibney answered
significantly.
The Maggie climbed lazily to the
crest of long oily roller, slid reck-
lessly down the other side, and took
the following sea over her taffrail.
She still had some head on, but very
little-not quite sufficient to give her
decent steerage way, as Mr.. .Gibney
discovered when, having at length com.
municated his desires to McGuffey.
he spun the wheel frantically in be-
lated effort to swing the Maggie's dirty
nose out to sea.
"Nothing doin'," he snarled. "She'll
have to come to a complete stop before
she begins to walk backward and get
steerage way on again. She'll bump

hatch the head and shoulders Of Mr..
Bartholomew McGuffey, chief en-
sineer: first. second and third as
sistant engineer. oiler, wiper, water
lender, and coal-passer Of the Maggie,
appeared. He was standing On the
steel ladder that led up from his
stuffy engine room and had evidently
come up like whale, for breath of
fresh air. "The way you ruin them

Mr.. McGutfey concluded. IF l had a
