THE GIRL.

NOPSTS.-Loitering on the san
Francisco water front, John Rai-
ney, newspaper reporter, is accost-
ed by a giant blind man. who asks
Rainey to lead him aboard the
sealing schooner Karluk. The bllnn
man tells Rainey he is an old snip
mate of Captain Simms. In the
cabin they find Captain Simms and
d man named Carlson. Simms rec
ognizes the blind man, calling him
Jim Lund. Lund accuses Smms OF
abandoning him, blind. on an ice
foe, and denounces him. Simms
denies the charge, but Lund re-
fuses to be pacified. He declares
his intention of accompanying the
Karluk on it's expedition north,
where it is going in quest of gold
field which Lund has discovered
Peggy, Simms' daughter, is aboard,
and defends her father.
