The Aphrodite forged slowly ahead,

Twenty minutes later, after much
backing and swearing and heaving or

put board the Maggie. Mr.. Gibney
Judged IL would be safe now to fasten
this line to the towing bits.
Suddenly Captain Scraggs remem-
bered there was no one on duty In the
Maggie's engine room. With a half
sob, he slid down the greasy ladder,
tore open the furnace doors and COM

lessness that bordered on Insanity.

pounds Of steam he came up on deck
and discovered Mr.. Gibney walking
soemnly round and round the little
capstan up forward. 1t was creaking

Captain Scraggs fed to the winch.
