CHAPTER XVI !.

~ He, Killed Your Father." s& :,
Alan ran aft along the starboard
side, catching at the rail as the deck
tilted; the sounds within the hull and
the tremors following each sound
came to him more distinctly as he adj
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 muffled by the cabins, Changed
and resounded In terrible tumult; with
the clang and rumble Of metal rose
shouts and roars Of men. e, Mr. ~
To liberate and throw overheard
heavily loaded cars from an endan-
gered ship was SO desperate an under
taking and so certain to cost life. that
men attempted it only in final ,extremi
ties. when the ship must be lightened
ut any cost. Alan had never seen the
effect of such an attempt, but he had
heard Of It as the fear which sat al
ways on the hearts Of the men who
navigate the ferries the cars loose on
rolling, lurching ship! Hewas going
to that now. The car deck was a pitch
ing, sWaylng 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 I'M
der them; the next cars already were
hurled from the; rails, their wheels
screaming on the steel deck, Changing
and 3 thudding together in their
couplings. < u t5 .ttg s.. 4.r,s.~..
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 of. the cars.
The mate was working as one, Of the
men, and with him was Benjamin Cor
vet. The crew already must have loos-
ened and thrown over the stern three
cars from the two tracks on the port
side; for there was q space vacant !;
and as a car. charged into that space
and the men threw themselves upon
it, Alan leaped} with them. s. = T..

beams. At Corvet's command, the crew
ranged themselves beside it with bars.
The bow aaOf 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 it and,
catching Coryet, freed him and flung
him down to the deck. and dropped
with him. A cheer rose rs the car

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 flat cars and
Numbered down the deck. The cars

OUR PERILoUs AGE

In the city newspaper before US, two items have
headlines that scream out two tragedies: one the
