tipped farther turned over; others bal
anced back; it was upon their wheels
that they charged forward, half riding
one another, crashing and demolishing,
as the ferry pitched; 1t was upon their
trucks that they tottered and battered
from side to side as the deck swayed.
Now the stern again descended; line
Of cars swept for the fantail. Corvet's
cry came to Alan through the scream
ing of steel and the clangor of destruc-
ton. Corvets cry sent men with bars
beside the cars as the fantail dipped
into the water; Corvet, again leading
the crew, cleared the leader of those
madly charging cars and ran 1t over
the stern.
The fore trucks fell and, before the
rear trucks reached the edge, the
stern lifted and caught the car in the
middle; 1t balanced, half over the wa
ter, half over the deck. Corvet
crOuched under the car with crow
bar; Alan and two others went with
him; they worked the car on until the
weight Of the end over the water tipped
1t down; the balance broke, and the
car tumbled and dived. Corvet, hav-
ing cleared another hundred tons,
leaped back, calling to the crew.
They followed him again, unQues-
tioning, obedient. Alan followed close
to him. 1t was not pity which stirred
him now for Benjamin Corvet; nor was
1t bitterness; but 1t certainly was not
contempt. OF all the ways in which he
had fancied finding Benjamin Corvet,
he had never thought Of seeing him
like this
1t was, probably, only for flash;
but the great quality of leadership
which he had once possessed, which
Sheriff. had described to Alan and
which had been destroyed by the threat
over him, had returned to him in this
desperate emergency which he had Gre
ated. How much or how little of his
own condition Corvet understood, Alan
could not tell; it was plain only that
he comprehended that he had been the
cause of the catastrophe, and in his
fierce will to repair it he not only dis
regarded all risk to himself; he also

cago," Corvet's voice replied deeply,
fully; there was authority in 1t and
wonder 'po--the wonder of man find
ing himself in a situation which his
recollection cannot explain.
"Ben Corvet" the mate shouted In
surprise; he cried it to the others,
those who had followed Corvet and
obeyed him during the hour before and
had not known why. The mate tried to
pull the wreckage aside and make his
way to COrvet but the old man stopped
him. "The priest, Father Benitot !!
Send him to me. I shall never leave
here; send Father Benitot" !"
The word was passed without the
mate moving away The mate, after a
minute made no further attempt to
free Corvet; that indeed was useless,
and Corvet demanded his right of sac
rament from the priest who came and
crouched under the wreckage beside
him.
Father Benitot -
81 am not Father Benitot ! am Fa-
ther Perron of LAnse."
"It was to Father Benitot of ST. Ig-
mace | should have gone, Father
The priest got little closer as Cor
vet spoke, and Alan heard only voices
now and then through the sounds Of
changing metal and the drum of ice
against the hull The mate and his
helpers were working to get him free,
They had abandoned all effort to save
the ship; it was settling. And with
the settling, the movement of the
wreckage imprisoning Alan was in
creasing. This movement made useless
the efforts of the mate; it would free
Alan of itself in a moment, if it did
not kill him; it would free or finish
Corvet too. But he, as Alan saw him,
was wholly oblivious of that now. His
lips moved quietly, firmly and his eyes
were fixed steadily on the eyes of the
priest.

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.
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
at 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
a rolling, lurching ship! He was going
to that now. The car deck was pitch
ing, swaying 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 un-
der them; the next cars already were
hurled from the rails, their wheels
screaming on the steel deck, changing
and thudding together in their
couplings.
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 off 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 a space vacant !;
and as a car charged into that space
and the men threw themselves upon
it, Alan leaped with them.
1t was a fiat car laden with steel
beams. At Corvet's command, the crew
ranged themselves beside it with bars.
The bow of 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 it. Alan leaped upon it and,
catching Corvet freed him and flung
him down to the deck and dropped
with him. cheer rose as the car
cleared the fantail, dove and disap-
peared.
Alan clambered to his feet Corve1
already was back among the cars
again, shouting orders; the mate and
