CHAPTER XIV.
A Ghost Shlp.

Gnost snip.
Officially, and to chief extent In ac-
tuality, navigation now had "closed"
for the winter. Further up the har-
Dor, 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
laying 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
sorption the work going on. There
was tug 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
wheelsman, came opposite the stern
Of the freighter.
They're crossing" the wheelsman
said aloud, but more to himself than
to 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"
"what's the matter with thatf" Alan
cried.
Burr drew up his shoulders and
ducked his head down as gust blew.
II was cold, very cold indeed in that
wind, but the old man had on q macki-
nav and, out on the lake, Alan had
seen him on deck coatless In weather
almost as cold as this.
"It's winter Storm Alan cried.

Who could he be to know them all7 TO

Alan telegraphed that day to Sher-
rill; but when the message had gone
doubt seized him. Benjamin Corvet,
when he went away, had tried to leave
his place and power among lakemen
to Alan; Alan, refusing to accept what
Corvet had left until Corvet's reason
should be known, had felt obliged also
to refuse friendship with the Sherrills.
When revelation came, would 1t make
possible Alan's acceptance Of the place

Alan's questions and, II Alan persisted.
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, a 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 a 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 he
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 felt
his skin prickling and the blood beat
ing fast in his temples. How could
Burr have known these incidents?

CHAPTER XIV
Old Burr Of the Ferry.


1t was in late November and while
the coal carrier Pontiac, on which he
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
a member Of the crew, stirred and ex.
cited him; the name James Burr, oc-
curing on Benjamin Corvet's list, had
borne opposite it the legend "All dis
appeared; no trace" and Alan, whose
investigations had accounted for all
others whom the list contained, had
bean able regarding Burr only to verify
the fact that at the address given no
one of thu name was to be found.
He questioned the oiler who had
mentioned Burr. The man had met
Burr one night In Manitowoc with
other 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 Corvet had been un.
abe to trace?
Alan could not leave the Pontiac and
60 at once to Man'towoc to seek Burr
for he was needed where he was. II
was fully 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 along the river bank until he
found It.
The proprietor knew old Jim Burr
yes. Burr was a wheelsman on Car
ferry Number 25. He was lakeman
experienced and capable; that fact
some months before, had served as In
PRODUCTION for him to the freQuenters
Of this place. When the ferry was In
harbor and his duties left him idle
Burr came up and waited there. occu-
pying always the same chair. He
never drank he never spoke to others
unless they spoke first to him, but
then he talked freely about old days
on the lakes, about ships which had
been lost and about men long dead.
Alan decided that there could be no
better place to interview old Burr than
here; he waited therefore, and In the
early evening the old man came In. He
was q slender but muscularly built man
seeming about sixty-five, but he might
be considerably younger or older than
that. His hair was completely white
his nose was thin and sensitive; his
face was smoothly placid, emotionless,
cOntented his eyes were queerly cloud.

young and old; but Burr might well
have been a contemporary of Corvet
