CHAPTER XVI
-He Killed Your Father"

Alan ran aft along the starboard
side. catching ST the rail as the deck
tilted: the sounds within the hull and
the tremors following each sound
came TO him more distinctly as he ad-
vanced Taking the shortest way to
the car deck. he turned into the cabins
to reach the passengers companion
way. The noises from the car deck, no
longer muf1ed by the cabins, changed
and resounded In terrible tumult; with
the clang and rumble OF metal rose
shouts and roars OF men.
To liberate and throw overheard
heavily loaded cars from an endan-
sered ship was so desperate an under
taking and so certain TO cost life that
men attempted 1t only in final extreml-
ties, when the ship must be lightened
at any cost. Alan had never seen the
effect Of such an attempt. but he had
heard Of II as the fear which sat al
ways on the hearts Of the men who
navigate the ferries-the cars loose on
a rolling. lurchIng ship He was going
to that now. The car deck was pitch
ing. swaying slope; the cars nearest
him were still upon their tracks, but
they tilted and swayed uglily from side
TO side; the jacks were gone from IN
der them; the next cars already were
hurled from the rails, their wheels
screaming on the steel deck, changing
and thuddlng together in their
couplings.
Alan ran aft between them. All the
crew who could be called from deck and
engine room and freehold were strug-

Cling at the fantail, under the direction
of the captain, to throw off the cars.
The mate was working as one of the
men, and with him was Benjamin Cor
vet. The crew already must have Ioos-
ened and thrown over the stern three
cars from the two tracks on the port
side; for there was space vacant
and as a car charged into that space
and the men threw themselves upon
it, Alan leaped with them.
II was a fiat car laden with steel
beams. At Corvet's command, the crew
ranged themselves beside 1t with bars.
The bow of the ferry rose to some
great wave and, with cry to the men,
Corvet pulled the pin. The others
thrust with their bars, and the car slid
down the sloping track; and Corvet
caught by some lashing of the beams,
came with 1t. Alan leaped upon 1t and
catching Corvet. freed him and flung
him down to the deck, and dropped
with him. cheer rose as the car
cleared the fantail, dove and disap-
peared.
Alan clambered to his feet. Corvet
already was back among the cars
again. shouting orders; the mate and
the men who had followed him before
leaped at his yells. Corvet called to
them to throw ropes and chains to
bind the loads which were letting go ;
the heavier loads-steel beams, cast
ings, machinery-snapped their LASH
ings, tipped from their fat cars and
thundered down the deck. The cars
tipped farther, turned over; others bal
anced back; it was upon their wheels
that they charged forward. half riding
one another, crashing and demolishing,
as the ferry pitched 1t was upon their
trucks that they tottered and battered
from side to side as the deck swayed.
Now the stern again descended; a line
Of cars swept for the fantail. Corvet's
cry came to Alan through the scream

tion. Corvet's cry sent men with bars
