but his hatred remained as a source OF
strength. The seas were undoubtedly
higher. Tommy had made sure of
that. SO had the mate Many times
the mate had turned his head to look
ior Tommy. If a higher sea than
usual swept over the wallOwing car
caSs, the mate watched to see if
Tommy held on.
One hour before dawn, the sea had
changed altogether. The long and
regular swels of the trade wind had
first been gently nudged by other seas
from new direction - the direction
OF some ar-distant storm. Now the
lnterlaclng seas had grown higher.
All the face Of the water was speCked
with peaks where wave crests added
to wave Crests and made temporary
Jagged peaks.
OEvERAL of them had washed over
the whale Twice, only the ropes
enabled Tommy to keep his grip.
Once he was lifted clean away from
contact with solidity. He came down
in sprawling tangle when the wave
subsided, holding desperately to his
safety-ropes and scrambing upward
through the smother to get new
breath before his lungs burst

he saw that the mate had left his
higher and safer position and was
coming toward him, holding to the
interlaced lines. At sight of Tommy
he stopped, and Tommy gasped des-
perately:

They were trying out, then, with
three fish to handle, and the Bedford
was activity from stem to stern.
1t was said without thought. But
Tommy had been called Tom. He had
been spoken to as a man, not a lad.
He noted it sharply. He realized what
it meant. From now on all his ship
mates would unconsciously come to
call him Tom. He was a lad no longer,

That was the fourth moment.

He turned his back on Tommy and
watched the Bedford.
By the time the whaleship came
up to them, Tommy was so far ad-
justed to the new state of affairs that
he did not even think to ask if the
mate would report his mutinous re-
fusal of orders and equally mutinous
threats. He knew the mate would not.
And he did not think of volunteering
a promise of silence on his own part.
The mate would know that, too.
Which was the ending of the third

back to his original station. But the
seas grew worse still. True, as they
grew higher they were farther apart.
But when at long last a faint gray
glow appeared i'll the east and turned
slowly to rose and then to yellow
here and there were waverlng up
thrust plnnacles OF seawater. Some
of them speared skyward for fifteen
and twenty feet. Both Tommy and the
mate were haggard and worn, and
both were weary to exhaustion
The mate said coldly: "Yonder' the
Bedford. They'll know there's been
trouble and they'll have to search,
since we neither returned nor raised
a fare"
AYE! And when they come they'll
know -
Tommy saw solid green. water
towering over the fore part of the dead
whale 1t was streaked with foam and
1t swept over and hid, utterly, every
trace OF the whale beneath it. The
mate vanished completely from sight.
Tommy grimaced, gripped hard at
the lines, and filled his lungs with
air as the thing smote him also and
closed over his head.
1t pulled fiercely at him. Tommy
felt loop tear free in the blubber in
which 1t was buried, and panic yam
mered at him. The pressure strove to
crush his lungs. His ears rang and his
throat burned and the ropes in his
hands cut into and ground away his
flesh. Then suddenly the water fell
away. Tommy came out choking,
strangling, holding fast doggedly.
i HEN he saw the mate. The fore
part of the whale was momentarily
above the water. The mates legs were
crooked in the line to which he had
Clung, and they still held convulsively
fast. He had not gone overheard. But
his legs were encircled and his body
was trapped in the same lines which
he had held to for safety. He strug-
gled desperately to get clear and to
his feet again. But he used only one
arm. The other lay twisted at quite
inconCelvable angle behind him. 1t
was the arm he had not used, even
in Clinging to the wrecked boat. At
its end was the hand he had kept
scornfully. negligently in his coat
pocket throughout the night.
Tommy stared incredulously. Then
he croaked certain shrill and mon-
strous oaths he had learned in the
Bedford's forecastle. He went swiftly
forward. The sea uprose again before
he reached the mate, but he plunged
into it, clinging fast and working des-
perately, swearing horribly for lad,
and with his face twisted by strange
emotions.
Presently the mate stood on his
own feet, alone The red dawnlight
smote upon him and upon the incred-
ible raft on which the two of them
had survived the night. The mate
reached around with his right hand
to put his useless left into the pocket
of his jacket, grlnning fercely with
the pain of it.
You'd a broken ARM" cried
Tommy bitterly "It was broke in the
boat! You didn't reach out to Jack
because you couldn't! Why didn't you
tell me?"
The mate said coldly: His head
was Dashed in. He was dead then. And
