BY noon the schooner was glazed
in as firmly as a toy model that is
mounted in a glass sea. The wind
blew itself entirely out, but the cur

clamorous shore. where the swells
were creating promontorics, bays,
cliffs and chasms in the piled-up con
fusion Of the foes pounding on the
rocks, breaking up or sliding atop one
another in noisy confusion.

masses was set off by the blues and

His "hunch' was correct Though

promontory, making the connection

Lund sooner or later, meant 20 take
her, willing or unwilling. He had
said so, none too covertly, that very
evening. And, IL Rainey meant to
stand between her and Lund as a pro-
tectOr. Lund would accept him in that
character only as the girls lover and
his rival.
For the time being, the safety of
the Karluk and the successful carry
ing out Of the purpose OF the trip took
all Of Lund's attention and energy.
Twice he had been thwarted by the
weather from cleaning his golden har-
vest, and 1t began to look us II the
third attempt might be no more for
tunate.
''The Karluk's stout" he said once,
''but she amt built for the Arctic. II
we git nipped badly she'll go like an
eggshel.'
And then what?" Rainey asked.
''Git the gold! That's what we
come for. If we have to make sleds
an use the hunters for a dorg- team"
He laughed indomitably "Wem make
man Of You yit, Rainey, afore we
git back"
Lund was snatching sleep in scraps,
seeking always TO feel way toward
the position of the island through the
ice that continually bafled progress.
Against all opposition he forced his
way until, just after sunset one night,
as the dusk swept down, he gave a
shout and pointed to a fitful flare over
the port bow. Rainey thought II the
aurora, but Lund laughed at him.
"It's the crater atop the island" he
said. "Nothin' dangerous. Reglar
lighthouse. Now, boys" he went on,
his deep voice ringing with exhilara-
tion, there's gold in sight Whistle

with sigh Of relief. She stepped to
