This aote, dei.-ered to Captain
Scraggs by the messenger boy, lifted
the gloom from the latter's miserable
soul and sent him home with light
heart to Mrs. Scraggs. At the MARI
gold cafe next morning he was almost
touched to observe that both Gibney
and McGuffey showed up arrayed In
dungarees, wherefore Scraggs knew his
late enemies purposed proceeding to

and working In the engine room all

dreams OF avarlce, bordered so close
ly on the miraculous that Scraggs made
mental resolve to play fair In the
future-at least as fair as the limits
OF his cross-grained nature would per-
init. He was so cheerful and happy
that McGuffey, taking advantage OF
the situation. argued him into some
minor repairs to the engine.
About nine o'clock, as Mr.. Glbney

Of suppressed excitement about this

over and investigate, being Of the opin-

had fallen In a At. He had once had

CHAPTER VII.

When Captain Scraggs, after aban-
doning all hope Of salving the bark
Chesapeake. returned to the Maggie.
the little craft reminded him Of moth
ing so much as the ward for the In
corrigible OF an insane asylum. Due
to Captain Scraggs' stupidity and the
general inefficlency Of the Maggie, the
new navigating officer was of the opin-
ion that he had been swindled out of
his share OF the salvage, while the new
engineer. furious at having been en-
gagged to baby such ruin as the Mag
gie's boiler turned out to be, blamed
Scraggs' parslmony for the loss Of his
share Of the salvage. Therefore, both
men aired with the utmost frankness
their opinion of their employer. One
word borrowed another until diplomat
ic relations were severed and, In the
language of the classic, they mixed
It," They were fairly well matched,
and, to the credit Of Captain Scraggs
be II said, whenever he believed him
self to have fighting chance Scraggs
would fight and fight well, under the
Tom-cat rules OF hsticuffs.
Following a bloody battle In the pilot
house, he subdued the mate; following
his victory he was still war mad, so
he went to the englne-room hatch and
abused the engineer. AS result OF
the days events. both men quit when
the Maggie was tied up at Jackson
street wharf and once more Captain
Scraggs was helpless. In his extrem.
ity, he wished he hadn't been so hard
on Mr.. Gibney and McGuffey, for he
realized he could never hope to get
them back until their salvage money
should be spent.

Mr.. Gibney and Mr.. McGuffey might

quite sincere; Mr.. Gibney read II

Gibney hung her up In the wind again,

As they passed Lime point, Mr.. Glib

clarion blast his voice rang through
the ship.
"Clew up them royals" He lashed
the wheel and they brought the clew-
lines again 10 the winch head. The
ship was falling OFF a little before
the fore royal was clewed up, so Mr..
Gibney ran back TO the wheel and put
her on her course again while McGuf-
fey brought the main-royal clewlines

wheel fast and helped McGuffey clew
up the main-royal; again he set her

bidding at all auctions, frighten Off, or

eventually gather unto themselves, at
their own figures, all goods offered for

In the center of the group Mr.. Glib
ney noticed a tall. lanky individual,
evidently the leader. who was Issuing
instructions In low voice to his
hencbmen. This individual, though
Mr.. Gibney did not know II. was the
King of the Forty Thieves. As Mr..
Gibney lufred into view the king eyed
him with suspicion. Observing this,
Mr.. Gibney threw out his magnificent
