der, so that a heavily booted man
might slip and come to disaster on the
deck below. The thing that defeated
him in that project was Seymour's
trick Of sliding down the handrails;
but the old second mate got the dose,
and was taken to his room with
broken elbow. Forgetting that if
Seymour were put out, he himself
would be the sole watchkeeper left,
Capt Burridge tried out other schemes
none Of which succeeded.
With the fall of night, the sea then
piling inboard on both sides, and shak-
ing his cabin bulkhead like jelly,
an opportunity presented itself. Of
limited mind, he was apt to be repeti-
tive.
He went to the bridge to relieve
Seymour and failing to find him at
the standard compass or wheelhouse
door, he did locate the mate leaning
cupboard, glasses to his eyes, trying
to distinguish a msted shorelight.
All the curdled hate of Burridge's
boiled up into one hellish brew. Sey-
mour obviously hadn't noticed his APP
proach, because the din was Internal.
Burridge didn't reach for a leg, but
grappled his mate around the waist
and lifted, not knowing that, for Sc
cure footing, Seymour had locked a
leg around stanchion. The Captain
might as we'll have tried to lift the
engines from their bedplates. But
the attempt was there and the grip
ping arms were those Of gorilla.
Seymour swung at the half-seen face
with his binoculars. That gave him
an instant. But Burridge saw it was
all or nothing now-he'd gone too far
to withdraw. He wished he'd had the
forethought to bring up a Delaying
pin or a spike. Lacking these, he
still had hands, feet and head. But
he miscalculated and, in rushing, shot
over the rail himself.
1t was one of those patches when
wind and sea combined to keep the
Mnotaur pretty well stationary. Sey-
mour could not have been blamed by
the greatest advocate of turning of
the other cheek if he'd accepted this
act Of God as meant, and left things
as they were. Burrdge was bad,
nothing to be preserved If he lived
he'd probably go on being bad, or
worse. But he'd built up the name Of
the Burley Line, and even when you
hated him most certain of his qualities
commanded admiration.
There was less chance Of safely
lowering a boat than had been the
case that other night. But Seymour
wasn't thinking of boats. He thought
Of several things all at once-the SAT-
ETY. of the battling ship for one. You
have to think quickly and act i'm
mediately in the coastwise trade when
the emergency comes.
If he made a finish, the ship might
go down to Davy Jones before morn
ing But it went against Jacks sea-
manly instinct to see man drown
without lifting a hand. There was
always the deep sea deadline, too-as
stout bit of cordage as the ship
carried and the Burley boats were as
well-found as men-of-war where stores
were concerned.
Seymour raced to the wheelhouse
where once again Hodgson, not yet
as bosun because Bur-
ridge wanted another man of less in
in the job) had the wheel.
"Skipper's overheard" he shouted.

Partial Shutdown of Two
 Depts Looms for Nau= gatuCk Plant

Naugatuck, Aug 31.-A state ment announcing changed pro duction schedule for the U. $. Rub- Der company plant here was is- sued to-day by Walter Norton, company official.
 The statement follows: Textile shortage and the shrinkage in rub Der footwear sales will necessitate production curtailment in Septem- Der. On heavy goods shortage of woven fabrics resulting from labor troubles in the South is giving us
 trouble. If there is any further interruption in our textile supply we will be obliged to limit our production of heavy goods to cus- toners emergency orders after September z. With present foot wear prices we cannot afford to substitute higher cost fabrics in goods made for stock.
 "The Gaytee and Gum Shoe de- partments will probably face a partial shutdown during the last two weeks in September unless un- expected customers orders are re- ceived.
 "No immediate changes are planned for Tennis and Sundries schedules. During periods of Him. ited or short time production we will continue to make every effort to furnish outstanding operators and units with extra work.
 "The next few months uncertain ties in weather and business condi- tions will necessitate quick produc- tion changes which we will try to clear to our employees as far in ad- vance as possible.

John Cavanaugh, 39, of Lake, view avenue, was granted a weeks continuance in city court today on charges of eyading responsibility and driving without 9 license as a result of an accident 'at East Main street and Beecher avenue We'd nesday night.

 The car owner was found stand. ing in a nearby doorway a short time after the accident and told police at that time that he did not know where the driver had gone. Cavanaugh apparently became frightened and left the scene O. the crash. He made no effort to leave the city or deny that he was operating the car at the time of the accident.

Do you know why external rem edies so seldom give quick and per- manent relief?
 Why cutting does not remove the cause.
 Do you know the cause of Piles is internal?
 That there is oongestion of blood in the lower bowel-The veins iabby, the parts lifeless?
 Do you know that there Is 0 harmless internal remedy for itch ing, bleeding or protruding piles discovered by Dr Leonhardt and known as HEM-ROID that is guar anteed?
 HEM-ROID banishes piles by removing the cause. It stimulates the circulation in the lower bowel .-drives out. the thick impure blood, and restores the affected parts.
 HEM-ROID is so successful in even the most stubborn cases that Apothecaries Hall Co and all good druggists advise every sufferer to get a bottle of HEM-ROID Tab lets to-day-take them as directed then if not completely satisfied with results--your money back.
