Mrs. Fleming was seriously i'll and

ter dinner. There was nothing to
fear at Tino's hands. She was
sure of herself.
Tino was charming. He laugh
ed and told her about the gay
times they would have in New
York together,
But the glow of the wine and
Tino's flowery speech made Jane
see things clearly. Her laind
worked swiftly, and she found
herself correlating all the events
that had happened on shipboard.
She saw them all with kaleido-
scopic vision. 1t was like watch
| ing a Photographic print come out
in the chemicals of a developing
pan.
Tino had to bring her back to
him with the touch of his hands
across the table.

l. At nine o'clock the barometer
was still falling. Milling crowds
stood about the glass in the
| lounge. and some of the faces
were pale. These were the faces
of those who had already beon
through high wind son the Carib-
bean. And this looked like a
real blow. Already the ship was
being buffeted about by high
waves. There was an occasional
shudder which shook the boat
from bow to stern.
"That's the propeller out Of
the water" someone volunteered.
1t only increased The feeling Of
alarm.
! Only a few rero:t3 camc down
from the bridge. High winds Fad
struck the Florida Keys carly
that morning with devastating re-
suits. A few had been killed. The
storm had skipped the mainland,
and was proceeding in north

miles an hour. The S. s. Oceanic
was not directly in the path OF
the hurricane, but enc never
knew which course the tricky
winds would take.
The ship was expected to out.

sense of something diabolic in a

thought OF running from death
made one more terrified.

this as an ominOuG sign.

Come. Tino fOrgiveS you, and now
We go for cocktails, yes?"
Jane permitted him to take her
arm, and she felt herself unwiil-
ingly going toward his suite. The
very tone of his voice ;mpellcd
her; she couldn't refuse. She bad
to know more about him.
But she was aware Of herself
and of him. Completely aware,
she thought now. She sensed the
danger in carrying on this flirt.-
ton with Tino Roszi. Shiphoard
romalfces were all dangerous. The
absence Of restraining contact;
left one adrift. A ship was 4
separate community. 1t repre-
scented a suspension Of time in IN
ordinary life cycle. The easy
camaraderie deceived one about
the things that really co;lnLe !.
One couldn't go sailing into CHM
son sunsets forever. ..
Once inside Tino's suite Jane
felt sudden alarm. What had
she done? A steward brought Up
cocktails, and then took their or
ders for dinner. After the tirst
cocktail Jane felt her panic lcav-
ing her; she had been merely a
silly, unworldly girl. They would,

honey! It'll last for hours and
hours. There'll be no ali inside
the ship, but plenty of it outside.
Your ear-drums will be pushed
in until they're ready to burst.
1t won't do you any good to
scream, because you couldn't hear
a scream for the shrek of the
wind. Hours and hours in the
night"
The recital became so real that
one woman went into a faint, her
small child started screaming, and
the nights weary vigil had begun.
The seas were already high.
The hurricane winds had reach
led them, because a ships officer
came in and began shouting or
ders to the stewards, to batten
down the heavy pieces like the
grand pianos. Things might go
amok and crush the passengers.
Something fell on the hurricane
deck outside, and one knew that
there was no longer any doubt
but that the S. S. Oceanic was in
the path of the hurricane. She was
struck!
Stewards ran about through
the passages, shrieking orders.
All passengers to the lounge with
life belts on! The order to de-
sert the cabins seemed to cause
more confusion than ever. Peo-'
pie ran here and there. There
was really no hurry, because
much time would elapse before
the winds would be high enough
!, to reach hurricane force. And
there was no indication at pres
ent that the ship would not out
lide the storm. Other ships less
mighty than this sleek greyhound,
had,
But there was the danger now
OF striking i reef. The ship had
been caught in Il chain Of them!
That was Why the Officers faces,
which the passengers saw, were
ashcn. .'.....'
I Jane heard the steward below
ing up and down the passage, and"
Tino opened the door. The stew
ards white face was framed
there for an instant. "The lounge ,

your belts And then he was
gone, pounding on doors, deliver-t
ing the same frantic message. 81.

She didn't know whether she
should return to her stateroom
or not. She had her coat with her,
and flung it over her shoulders,
When she looked at limo fori

that his eyes were wild with fear
She hadn't counted on this! But

1t was strange 20 her nature
but she didn't feel sorry for him.
This wasn't the way man on a
threatened ship should behave.
"The - ship - Won't-gv--
down." he said slowly.
In this moment Jane thought
about Dirk-strong and reassur-
ing in his glance. She wanted to
see him, if only for minute, so.
that she could blot this ugly pic
ture of fear out of her eyes. She
had to see Dirk now. She turned
and fled from Tino's stateroom,
and Tino didn't call after her.
