 Mary Manning, daughter of the owner, who Is passenger, At Cape Town, Stevens is superseded as cap tain by Drake, whose lawyers have seen to the purchase of the Orontes during its cruise.
 Stevens is reduced to the rank of chief mate. Answering Mary's plea, Jake starts the Orontes through the Straits off Java, where the ship is becalmed, Mary slips ashore with Ike, the steward. and Stevens goes in search of her.
 NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY
 Jake started off again as soon as the bobbing head disappeared. He marched over the rough ground Ichuckling. Beyond the rocky shore the ground rose more gently and level. He tucked around blunt face of volcanic debris, and came in sight of a long stretch of compara- Lively shelving beach. There twas sand. Trees grew, and there was IpICnty of coarse camel grass. But far more welcome than trees or grass was the sight of the ships missing boat drawn up to flat rock a mile distant. and obviously tied there.

It was her turn to shrink, for she knew Jake Stevens was a splendid seaman, and would have never lost claim to the title but for her. "I thought l might as well help you with the boat. You'll need some- body besides Ike. And there was an- other thing, too, Mary, You prom ised to give me your answer when we got ashore. We'll never be faster ashore than we are now" He laugh ed harshly, then bit his lip, for her breast was heaying agitatedly.
 "I ought not to come for an an- swer now. I suppose" he added bit- terly. "A broken, discredited--"
 Jake! Stop, for mercy sake!"
 she cried. Are you trying to drive me frantic? I ran from the ship to escape the awful atmosphere of im- pending misfortune. I wanted noth- ing but quiet, to think. And you must come here to remind me of things l want to forget. And, as if that were not enough, you must needs charge mo with being harpy! Do you think, Jake Stevens, that if the man I loved and wanted were in rags and disgrace a thousand times more hideous than your petty troubles have made you. it would make a bit of difference 10 my feel ings for him?"

You haven't asked about the baby, John?"

You know l didn't expect to give you an answer under these circumstances. But I'll tell you one thing for your peace of mind, and that is, if ever felt like giving you the answer you seem to want, would feel far, far more like giving it to you now than if yOu were Captain Stevens of the OrontcS still"

 She ran down to the boat and climbed in. Jake gazod after her thoughtfully. As for Ike, he held fast to his ax and stared at him just as thoughtfully. Ike Saintly had s mind which needed lot of stirring up before he could understand that the man repulsed of one day may be the welcomed guest of the next.
