The violet spark was rasping, and the operator. his receivers strapped over his ears, strained to listen. He got no reply. evidently, and he struck his key again; now, as he listened, he wrote slowly on a pad
 "What Is it2'' Alan asked the officer.
 '"The Richardson heard four blasts of a steam whistle about an hour ago when she was opposite the Manitous. She answered with the whistle and turned toward the blasts. She couldn't find any ship" The officers reply was interrupted by some of the others. '@Then that was few minutes ago they heard the four long again. They'd tried to pick up the other ship with radio before. Yes; we got that here. Tried again and got no answer. But they heard the blasts for half an hour. They said they seemed kO DS d1IuOSb DGSA06 kAG 1AAP OhSCs But they didn't see anything. Then the blasts stopped sud den, cut off short in the middle as though something happened. |.

 Anyone else answeredr' Alan asked.
 "Shore stations on both sides"
 Do they know what ship 1t isT'
 "No."
 "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 likely to be there at this season. The spray from the waves had frozen upon Alan; ice gleamed and glinted from the rail and from the deck. Alan's shoulders drew up in a spasm. The Richardson, they said, was looking for boats: how

commenced again; tf1fs -waB unusual. Something still more unusual followed at once; the direction of the gale seemed slowly to shift, and with 1t the wash of the water; instead of the wind and the waves coming from dead ahead now, they moved to the port beam, and Number 25, still pitching with the thrust through the seas, also began to roll. This meant, of course, that the steamer had changed tts course and was making almost due north. It seemed to Alan to force it's engines faster; the deck vibrated more. Alan had not heard the orders fer this change and could only speculate as to what it might mean.
 His relief came after a few minutes more.
 "Where ara we heading7" Alan asked.
 Radio" the relief announced. "The Fl. O Richardson calling; she's up by the Manitous."
 "What sort of troubleT
 "She's not in trouble: it's another ship"
 "What shipr'
 "No word as to that"
 Alan, not delaying to question fur ther, went back to the cabins.
 These stretched aft, behind the bridge, along the upper deck, some score on each side of the ship; they had accommodations for almost hun dred passengers; but on this crossing only few were occupied. Alan had noticed some half-dozen men-business men, no doubt, forced to make the crossing, and one of them, Catholic priest, returning probably to some mis- sion in the north he had seen no wom- en among them. A little group of passengers were gathered now In the door of or just outside the wireless cabin, which was one of the row on the

the momentum Of the ferry told that others had seen the gleaming ship, or, at least, had heard the hail. The skip per's instant decision had been to put to starboard; he had bawled that to the wheelsman, Hard overt" But, though the screws turned full astern, Number 25 steered straight on. The furry was blowing before the bow again back through the snow the ice shrouded simmer ahead retreated. Alan leaped away and up to the wheel house
 Men were struggling there-the skip per, a mate, and old Burr. who had held the wheel. He clung to 1t yet, as one in a trance, fixed, staring ahead {; his arms, stiff, had been holding Num- Der 25 to her course. The skipper struck him and beat him away, while the mate tugged at the wheel Burr was torn from the wheel now, and he made no resistance to the slippers blows; but the skipper, in his frenzy. struck him again and knocked him to the deck.
 Slowly, steadily, Number 25 was re- spending to her helm. The bow point ed away, and the beam of the ferry came beside the beam of the silent steamer; they were very close now, 80 close that the searchlight, which had turned to keep on the other vessel, shot above its shimmering deck and lighted only the spars; and, as the wa ter rose and fell between them, the ships sucked closer. Number 25 shook with an effort 1t seemed opposing with all the power of its screws some force fatally drawing 1t on-opposing with the last resistance before giving way. Then, as the water fell again, the ferry seemed to slip and be drawn toward the other vessel; they mounted, side by side crashed recoiled .. crashed again. That second crash threw all who had nothing to hold by, flat upon the deck; then Number 25 moved by; astern her now the silent steamer vanished in the snow.
Connecticut western news., 1922-12-14

He moved on and took the wheel. He was a good wheelsman; the vessel seemed to be steadier on her course and, somehow, to steer easier when the old man steered. His illusions of hear ing could do no harm, Alan consid- cred; they were of concern only to Burr and to him.
 Alan fought to keep his thought all to his duty; they must be now very nearly at the position where the Rich ardson last had heard the four long blasts; searching for a ship or for boats In that snow, was almost hope less. With sight even along the search lights beam shortened to a few hun dred yards, only accident could bring Number 25 up for rescue, only chance could carry the ship where the shouts -or the blasts of distress if the wreck still fioated and had steam-would be heard.
 They were meeting frequent and heavy foes, and Alan gave warning of these by halls to the bridge; the bridge answered and when possible the steam CT avoided the foes; when 1t could not do that 1t cut through them. The wind rowed ice beating and crushing under the bows took strange, distorted, glis- tening shapes. Nou another such shape appeared before them; where the glare dissipated to a bare glow in the swirl ing snow, he saw vague shadow. The man moving the searchlight failed to see 1t, for he swung the beam on. The shadow was so dim, so ghostly, that Alan sought for 1t again before he hailed; he could see nothing now, yet he was surer, somehow, that he had seen.
 Something dead ahead, sir" he shouted back to the bridge.
 The bridge answered the hail as the searchlight pointed forward again. A gust carried the snow in a fierce furry which the light failed to pierce; from the furry suddenly, silently, spar by spar, shadow emerged-the shadow of ship. It was a steamer, Alan saw. a long, low-lying old vessel without lights and without smoke from the fun nel slanting up just forward of the after deckhouse 1t rolled in the trough of the sea. The sides and all the lower works gleamed in ghostly phosphores- cence, 1t was refraction of the search light beam from the ice Sheathing all the ship, Alan's brain told him; but the sight of that soundless, shimmering ship materializing from behind the screen of snow struck a trsmor through him.
 "shipi" he hailed. ~Ahsadi Dead ahead, siri Shipi"
 The shout of quick commands echoed to him from the bridge Un- derfoot he could feel 6 new tumult of the deck; the engines, instantly stopped, were being set full speed as- tern Bat Number 1o, instead oS SAssrinS e6 to light sr Left to avoid the esi1sion, stssrsd straight oa.

long could men live in little boats .ex- posed to that gale and ,cold7
 He turned back to the others about the radio cabin; the glow from within showed him faces as gray as his; 1t 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 matterT Alan demand ed, holding to him.
 'The four blasts" the wheelsman repeated. "They heard the four blasts" ]" He iterated 1t once more.
 Yes" Alan urged. "Why notT
 "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 and went forward.
 Alan went aft to the car deck. The roar and echoing tumult of the Ice against the hull here drowned all oth- CT 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 6 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 lis ten. For several minutes the old man stood motioniess; he came on again and stopped to listen.
 "You hear 'em7" Burr's voice qua vsred in Alan's ear. You hear 'emT'
 "WhatT asked Alan.
 "The four blasts! You hear 'em now1 The four blasts"
 Burr was straining as he listened, and Alan stood still too; no sound came to him but the noise of the storm. 'No," he replied. "I don't hear anything. Do you hear them nowf"
 Burr stood beside him without mak- ing reply; the searchlight, which had been pointed abeam, shot its glare for ward, and Alan could see Burr's face In the dancing reflection of the flare. The man had never more plainly re- Bsmbled the picture of Benjamin Cor vet i; that which had been in the pic ture that strange sensation of some thing haunting him, was upon this mans face, a thousand times intensi- fled; but instead of distorting the fea- lures away from all likeness to the picture, 1t made 1t grotesquely iden- tical.
 And Burr was hearing something something distinct and terrifying; but he seemed not surprised, but rather satisfied that Alan had not heard. He nodded his head at Alan's denial, and, without reply to Alan's demand, he stood listening. Something bent him forward; he strengthened; again the something came; again he straight ened. Four times Alan counted the motions. Burr was hearing again the four long blasts of distress But there was no noise but the gale. "The four blasts" He recalled old Burr's terror outside the radio cabin. The old man blown!
