zly bear once I'm started an there's
such a thing as drivin' a man to des-
peration."
The bluff workedl Captain Scraggs
turned to his retainers and with a
eondescending and paternal smile,
said: "Boys, let's give the dumb
fools their own way. If they insist
upon takin' forcible possession O. my
ship on the high seas, there's only one
name for the crime-an' that's piracy,
punishable by hangin' from the yard
arm. Wen just let 'em stay aboard
an turn 'em over to the police when
we git back to the city"
He started for his cabin and the
crew, vastly relieved, followed him.
The pirates once more sat down and
permitted their hot feet to loll over
board.
About ten O'Clock next morning the
little vessel completed taking on her
cargo, the lines were cast off, and the
homeward voyage was begun. Messrs.
Gibney and McGuffey were seated on
the stern bits as the Maggie came
abreast the Point MOntara fog signal
station, when Mr.. Gibney observed a
long telescope poking out the side win
dow of the pilot house, and following
the direction in which the telescope
was pointing he made out a large bark
standing in dangerously close to the
beach. In fact, the breakers were tum-
bling in a long white streak over the
reefs less than a quarter of mile
from her.
In an instant all was excitement
aboard the Maggie. "That looks like
an elegant little pickup. She's plumb
deserted" Scraggs shouted to his navi-
eating officer. 81 don't see any distress
signals flynn an yet she's got an
anchor out while her canvas is hangin'

''If she had any hands aboard, you'd
think they'd have sense enough to
clew up her courses" the mate an
swered.
At this juncture, Mr. Gibney and
McGuffey, unable to restrain their Gu
riosity, and forgetful of the fact that
they were pirates with very sore feet.
came running over the deckload and
invaded the pilot house. "Gimme that
glass, you sock-eyed salmon, you" Glib
ney ordered Scraggs, and tore the tele-
scope from the owners hands.
"Hum-m-ml American bark Chesa-
peake. Starboard anchor out; yards
braced a-box; royal an to- -gallan-s'ls
clewed up; courses hangin' in the
buntlines an clew garnets, Stars-an'-

He lowered the glass and roared at
Neils Halvorsen, who was at the
wheel. "Starboard your helm, Square

Mr.. Gibney had abdicated as a pi-
rate and assumed command of the S.
S. Maggie. With the memory of
scant breakfast upon him, however,
Captain Scraggs was still harsh and
bitter.

screeched. Don't you give no orders
