Imperceptibly it came to him that there

men have plenty of work to do during their

His eye caught the dial on the mains panel

he couldn't use the transmitter. That settled
it! He cut the switch and went into the little
room adjoining the wireless cabin. Finish that

cold air from the door. He got heavily to his
feet and his face was red and twitching. His
voice rose: Get out! Get out and close that

Duty" The Captains thick-set shoulders
hunched ominously. He numbered stif1y to-

pins I'd give you thrashing!"
Ringer eyed the squat figure of the irate
old man and grinned. Then he shrugged his
shoulders and, turning, went up the COM
panionway. Back in his cabin he sat down and
mechanically put on the headphones. Blast
the man! This came out of bit of zeal -
trying to raise a station ahead of time. All
right, the job could go to blazes after this.
He was finished. He'd write to Ella. Yes.
that was the thing to do. Shed understand -.
But would she? He had the uneasy conviction
that she wouldn't, and the thought depressed
him.
What could he write about? Gould he tell
her how lonely he was? How tired of this
miserable life? She was so fanciful. SO roman

been brought up to cherish the old traditions
of the sea.
How often they'd talked together of the
old seadogs! The old indomitable spirit of the
sea which through the ages had made Britain

sounded so fine once but now
Would she understand what he really
thought? Could he tell her of that vicious
old devil, the Captain? Of the mate, that fat
little man with the sly eyes who lay so
frightened and pitiful in his bunk in the grip
of unromantic lumbago? Of the whole rotten
crowd, mean -souled and spiteful, sullen and
petty stupid with the long voyages and the
unnatural mode of living?
The spirit of the sea and Britain's hearts of
oak hell!
Then through the telephones there came
one of those inexplicable pauses when all the
chattering of stations ceases at the same time
and for few brief seconds silence reigns on
the ether, silence broken only by the faint
m,umuring of distant stations, New Orleans
or Panama. Involntarily Ringer pricked up
his ears at the unaccustomed quiet. He could

Under the thin ships blankets he could
feel the cold nipping his feet and knees. and
he thought of the brass-railed stove in the
cabin below and felt bitter. He got up and
switched on a few lamps on the charging
board. An old dodge, that. charging batteries

bulkhead No better. He got up and drewthe
curtains over the dividing doorway, but the
light now came over the top of the partition
and filled the room with full, penetrating
glow.
The decanter and tooth glass ratified irri-
tatingly in the bulkhead rack, and the jarring
clatter of iron buckets from the main deck
told of the fireman laboring at the ash-hoist.
He rolled restlessly and buried his ears urfder
the blankets Then it occurred to him that it
was not these things that were keeping him
awake; they were part of ordinary shipboard
life and he had slept through them hundred
times. No, it was something else. Eyes! Eyes!

He thought he could hear broken, weak
whisper trying to tell him something but he
could not hear the words.
Ringer sat up suddenly. Despite the cold
he could feel that his brow was moist and
his hands clammy He could not get the
thought of that faint Morse out of his mind.
Should he listen again? . =. . Suppose 80.
He slipped out of the bunk and padded into
the wireless room. Shivering with cold he
adjusted the phones and switched on the
receiver Usual hubbub. Not so loud now, cargo
ship operators all turned-in. One am. Should
he call that liner after all? Have to get some
more juice first That old devil of skipper
will probably raise hell if the transmitting
spark wakes him.
He stood shivering undecidedly while the
cold nipped his bare feet painfully. Who was
down below? The second. 1t would take half
an-hour to get him to speed up the dynamo.
The Chief? Twned-in probably. The bridge?
Third mate young and too new to the job
