CHAPTER XIV.
A Ghost ship.


.Oficially, and to chief extent In ac-
tuality, navigation now had closed
for the winter. Further up the har-
bor. beyond Number 25, glowed the
white lanterns marking two vessels
moored and "laid up till spring; an
other was still in the active process OF
4laying up.' Marine insurance, as re
CARDS all ordinary craft, had ceased;
and the government at sunrise, five
days before, had taken the warning
lights from the Straits Of Mackinaw,
from Ile-aux- Galets, from north Mani
tou. and the Fox islands; and the light
at Beaver island had but five nights
more to burn.
Having no particular duty when the
boat was in dock, old Burr had gone
toward the steamer laying up," and
now was standing watching with alb
sorptinn the work going on. There
was tug a little farther along, with
steam up, and black smoke pouring
from its short funnel. Old Burr OBJ
served this boat too and moved up a
little nearer. Alan, following the
wheelsnan, came opposite the stern
Of the freighter.
"They're crossing" the whcelsman
said aloud, but more to himself than
Ito Alan. They're laying her up here" !"
he jerked his, head toward the Slough
ton. ''Then. they're crossing to Mani
towoc on the tug"
sWhat's the matter with that7" Alan
cried. ~
Burr drew up his shoulders and
ducked his head down as gust blew

wind, but the old man had on q macki

he avoided him.
On deck, one night, listening while
old Burr talked, excitement suddenly
seized Alan. Burr claimed to be an
Englishman born in Liverpool. He had
been, he said, q seaman in the British
navy; he had been present at the
shelling of Alexandria; later, because
of some difficulty, which he CLOSED
over, he had deserted and had come to
"the States" he had been first deck
hand, then the mate Of a tramp schoon-
er on the lakes. Alan. gazing at the
old man, felt exultation leaping and
throbbing within him. This life which
old Burr was rehearsing to him as his
own, was the actual life of Munro
Burkhalter, one of the men on Cor
vets list regarding whom Alan had
been able to obtain full information
Alan sped below, when he was re-
lieved, from watch, and got out the
clippings left by Corvet and the notes
of what he himself had learned in his
visits to the homes of these people
His excitement grew greater as nc
pored over them; he found that he
could account, with their aid, for all
that old Burr had told him. Old Burr's
stories were not, Of course, true; YET
neither were they fictitious. They
their incidents, at least-were actuali
ties. They were woven from the lives
of those upon Corvet's list! Alan fel,

"No." sss-s az.l
"What ship might be there nowT
The officer could not answer that.
He had known where the Richardson
must be; he knew Of no other hkeiy
to be there at this season. The spray
from the waves had frozen upon Alan;
ice cleaned and glinted from the ran
and from the deck. Alan's shoulders
drew up in a spasm. The Richardson's
| they said, was looking for boats; how
| long could men live in little boats ex-
| posed to that gale and cold?
He turned back to the others about
the radio cabin; the glow from within
showed him faces as gray as his; II
| lighted a face on the opposite side OF
| the door-a face haggard with dread
full fright. Old Burr jerked about as
| Alan spoke to him and moved away
alone; Alan followed him and seized
his arm.
"What's the matter?" Alan demand
ed, holding to him.
1.-THE four blasts !" the wheelsman
repeated. "They heard the four

YES" Alan urged. "Why not?
But where no ship ought to be; so
they couldn't find the ship-they
couldn't find the ship!" Terror, OF
awful abjectness, came over the OLD
man. He freed himself from Alan ana
went forward.
Alan went aft to the car deck. The
roar and echoing tumult OF the ice
against the hull here drOwnedeall 9TH
er sounds. The thirty-two freight
cars. in their four long lines, stood
wedged and chained and blocked in
place; they tipped and tilted, rolled
and swayed like the stanchiOns and
sides of the ship, fixed and secure.
Jacks on the steel deck under the
edges of the cars, kept them from
rocking on their trucks. Men paced
watchfully between the tracks, observ-
ing the movement of the cars. The
cars creaked and groaned, as they
worked little this way and that; the
men sprang with sledges and drove the
blocks tight again or took an addi-
tional turn upon the jacks.
Alan saw old Burr who, on his way
to the wheelhouse. had halted to us

stood motionless; he came on again

CHAPTER xiv
Old Burr Of the Ferry.

n was In late November and while
she coal carrier Pontiac, on which ne
was serving as lookout, was In Lake
Superior that Alan first heard of Jim
Burr. The name spoken among some
other names in casual conversation BY
q member of the crew, stirred and ex-
cited him; the name James Burr. oc-
curing on Benjamin Corvet's list, had
horne opposite 1t the legend "An dis
appeared; no trace" and Alan, whose
investigations had accounted for all
others whom the list contained. had
been able regarding Burr only to verify
the fact that at the address given no
one of this name was to be found.
He questioned. the oiler who had
mentioned Burr. The man had met
Burr one night In Manitowoc with
ether men, and something about the
old man had impressed both his name
and image on him; he knew no more
than that. At Manitowoc THE place
from which Captain Stafford's watch
had been sent to Constance Sheriff.
and where Alan had sought for, but
had failed to find, the sender! Had
Alan stumbled by chance upon the one
whom Benjamin Coryet had been un-
able to trace?
Alan could not leave the Pontiac and
10 at once to Manitowoc to seek Burr
for he was needed where he was II
was fully a week later and after the
Pontiac had been laden again and had
repassed the length Of Lake Superior
that Alan left the vessel at Sault Ste
Marie and took the train for Manito'
voc.
The little lake port Of Manitowoc
which he reached In the late afternoon
was turbulent with the lake seasons
approaching close. Alan inquired for
the seamen's drinking place, where his
Informant had met Jim Burr; following
the directions he received he made his
way Assng the river bank until nc
found 1t. .s.
The proprietor knew old Jim Burr
yes. Burr was wheelsman on Car
terry Number Is. He was a lakeman
experienced and capable; that fact
some months before, had served as In
production for him to the frequenters
e this place. When the ferry was II
harbor and his duties left him idle
Burr came up and waited there. occu
pging always the same chair. HI
never drank; he never spoke to Others
Anless they spoke first to him. bu
then he talked freely about old day
n the lakes. about ships which hat
been lost end about men long dead.
Alan decided that there could be a
better place to interview old Burr thai
here: he waited therefore, and In tn
early evening the old man came in. ~
