 Kay nodded and disappeared. She heard the splash of his dive, and heard him pant and gasp and blow when he climbed back ID the ladder again. She called: Here's towel, Bob" and threw 1t up the com. panion. "Coffee's almost ready" So presently he came down to sit with her, with the tiny cabin table be. tween them.

Later Kay took their used dishes below and washed them; and then it was dark; and the shore was low shadow. broken by many small lights here and there, and by few brighter ones. He made her sit in the cockpit by his feet thus sheltered from the wind and at his bidding she fetched blanket from below and wrapped it around her shoulders, drawing 1t like hood over her head. She was sleepy and at peace; and she dozed now and then, to waken at some word from him, till at last he asked:
 Asleep weren't you?"
 "You go below and roll in," he directed. "rll sing out when want you."
 She hesitated; but in the end she obeyed him. She left the blanket for him in case of need.

 "Xes," she agreed, Rravoly.
 "ff 1t was just that, I'd kiss you now" he told her, yet he spoke as much to himself as to her: and he laughed ancertainly. T suppose It's because you're-we're married" he explained. I've got too much re- spect for-siay wife, to make a pasn at her, the way I would at . casual acquaintance"
 Kay swallowed hard. Her lips were dry.

 "T.get 1t, yes," she said.
 "Think I'm 6 foolS"

 "All right" she assented. And after . moment, she got to her feet, held out her hand. Thank you, Bob," she said. Good nightl"
 His fingers gripped hers warmly. Good night, swell kid," he told her.

They returned in time for Kay to prepare supper: and Bob made her change into more suitable gasb, and approved her ap- pearance when she was done.

 Later, they sat on the after deck while dusk came down and purple shadows filled with harbor, and his cigarette glowed in the gathering darkness. Kay said nothing; but her heart was pounding against her ribs, and her voice needed careful She waited, and 1t was dark, and control, if she were to speak at oil. Bob lighted the riding lights and returned to her. He stood above her, and she looked up ct him, and he chuckled softly.

Simple sincere and devout he the admiration and faith of the entire crew and passenger list Like all great mar ners he knew the winds of Lfethe storms and reefs but he also knew how to point his compass toward the guiding star Like all great mariners he too, was en- dowed with the strong hoey virtues that first strength en ones faith and in turn inspire others Homey in justice he knew the law but often more than the letter he saw" Homey, in charity his kindness touched all classes Hoey In loyalty his first and foremost consd eration his devotion to the Supreme Master.

He yielded her the wheel. "See that light, way ahead?" he asked; and she said she did. "Keep 1t on your left" he directed. "When you pass it--it will take you better than two hours-wake me up. Or if any, thing happens, of course, you wake me anyway. Or # you get sleepy"
 twill you hearq" she asked, her voice shaking in spite of herself. I'm not very sure of myself at this, yeti"
 "Oh, I'm going to sleep right here," he explained. "You can kick me awake any time." He fetched another blanket and pillow from below, made himself comfortable in the cockpit ct her feet.
 Aren't you crarnped?" she pro- tested. 'T'll try not to need you. You can go down and really sleep."
 But he assured her he was com fortable; and presently she heard his regular breathing. She sat with wide eyes staring into the darkness and the loneliness of the night and of the sea; and her hands shook as though with the palsy, and the light far ahead on the water seemed

They seemed tc come no nearer 1t, and she won- dered what time 1t was and did not know; and she became obsessed with tho certainty that the Lark was In fact held motionless in the midst of Q roaring torrent which surged and tuinbled and hissed and rushed past them as though on busi- ness of It's own, and made mock threatening gestures with the white caps of rollers that came charging toward them and vanished into blackness in the moment before they would have struck home. Her eyes burned from staring, and the wind made her weep, and the light was Q wiil-o'.the-wigp on the face of the waters. Time stood still, till ct last Bob woke and sat up tc look around. And he yawned and stretched his arms.
 "Well, I'll take 1t now" he said, Tlred?"
 "Exhaustedl" she confessed. "And scaredl Terrifiedl"
 He nodded, said gently: You're c great kid! Now you tuck in. I'll be oil right till daylight. Nights are short, this time of year."
 "It's SO shut in, down there," she said faintly. Cant ! stay up here?"
 Don't be afraid, Kay" he told her, gravely. T won't let anything happen to you"
 So she nodded and went below; 1; and sleep laid healing fingers upon her weary eyes.
 When she woke, long afterward, she saw nothing familiar. She lay in 6 narrow trough of 6 bod which was faintly moving. Then she re vnembered where she was, and real- !zed that sun sh0ne through the skylight, and she sat up quickly. A moment later, still disheveled, she came into the cabin. There was soiled frying pan on the stove, 8 used plate beside 1t. Bob must have breakfasted, but he was not here. In e sudden panic lest he had left her alone, she climbed the com panion ladder and saw him, or saw rather, c mound of blankets atop 6 mattress on the deck aft of the cockpit. Bob must be sleeping there.
 He did not move, and she looked around. They lay at anchor in shel- tered waters, and there was an island close at hand, and others further of; and the land yonder might be main. The water along- side invited her and she clumsily lowered the boarding ladder and climbed down till she could feel the temperature. Gold but not too cold. She had forgotten to buy 6 bathing suit, but-Bob was asleep, and tho nearer shores seemed uninhabited. She descended into the cabin again, and came up once more wrapped In 6 blanket from chin to toes. She left this by the low rail when she slipped oversize.

 "Oh, I'll see you before morning, he assured her; and she nodded in the darkness and went below. She chose the bunk on the lee side, SC that there might be no danger oi rolling out: and only loosening her clothes, lay down, slept almost in- stantly.
