the timbers of the hulk to splinters.
Either that had to be removed or
the Betty was doomed.
But Roses idea was to use the
thing that menaced their lives for
saving the schooner. BY cutting
it loose from the side, and fastening
it with tow lines, the wind and
waves would convert it into a sea
anchor.
Dick attacked the wreckage near
est him with his axe.
"Make your lines fast first," she
cried, intercepting him, cor we'll
lose it."
With three slack lines running
from the mass of wreckage to the
forward towing bits, they were
ready to cut away the rigging that
held the battering ram in position.
They hacked steadily at ropes and
wire rigging, cutting in water some
times a foot deep. They were
drenched to the skin, and nearly ex-
hausted when all but single line
was severed.
Rose raised her axe to cut this.
Dick seeing her danger shouted to
her, but she did not hear. The rope
parted with loud snap and writh-
ing and twisting like sea serpent

if it had been the tentacle of an
octopus. Dick saw her stagger I'M

then with the rope twisted around
her she was carried overheard as
the released wreckage brought the
line taut.
One Mortified glance, and he was
after her, plunging recklessly into
the green brine. In his leap he
caught the slack end of short rope
and clung to it. With his other hand
he clutched her skirts.
Fortunately the snake-like line
that had wrapped itself around her
waist unwound as quickly as it had
coiled. Dick held her limp figure
in one arm, and with the other
fought to pull himself back on deck.
The struggle lasted for only a
few minutes, but to Dick it was an
age before he finally got hand on
the rail and with the aid of gray
back lifted Rose over it and rolled
on deck.
Exhausted by his supreme effort,
he lay there, clasping the girl.
Rose stirred first, coming to her
senses with little sigh. She was
too dazed for a moment to under
stand the meaning of it all. Dick
clasped her still tighter.

First Hints of LoUe
Come to Dick and Rose

An unconscious groan escaped his
lips, followed by bitter laugh, the
sound of it filling the narrow cabin
and awakening the slumberer. Her
eyes opened and stared at him in
bewilderment. Then, with return
ing intelligence, she smiled, and
with an impulsive little gesture
thrust both hands out to him. The
gesture, simple and innocent, was
the unconscious feminine invitation
of love, and Dick, knowing she had
betrayed her feelings, groaned in
wardly and stood in indecision,
struggling with himself.
"You saved my life, Dick" she
said simply. ''Is there anything
you want Of me?"
The atmosphere of the cabin grew
hot and sitting to him. so that he
breathed heavily; a giddy sensation
swept over him; his hands trem-
bled with passion, and he moved
swiftly toward her to seize what be-
longed to him. But he checked him
self in time, stopping abruptly at
her side. He was so near he could
have touched her, but he slowly fold
ed his arms, and forced a smile to
his lips.
"Your friendship, Rose, always"
he said gently. you'll give me that
no matter what happens?"
She gazed up at him in bewilder-
ment, hurt expression coming into
her eyes, such as you see in child's
denied some precious wish. The
hands slowly dropped to her side
and the lips murmured so family
that the words were almost inaudi-
BILE:
"Yes-alwaysl How could you
doubt it?"
The Betty of New London proved
worthy of her namesake--if tradition
be true that the original Betty was
a staunch little craft who broke
hearts galore and lived to see most
of her loves married or buried at
good old age-and when morning
dawned, with breaking clouds and
warm sun, she was still riding on an
even keel, with none of her timbers
smashed or weakened.
Forward the sea-anchor held, bob
bing up and down on the waves like
a sodden mass of driftwood, with
the tow lines slackening and jerk
ing rhythmically as the schooner
backed and lurched in its struggle
to break loose from them.
Neither Dick nor Rose had slept
throughout the night; they had to
keep constantly on watch.

"What happened?" she breathed
family.
"Everything!" he laughed, recov-
ering his breath. ''We cut the
wreckage loose, and it's working
beautifully. We're no longer wal
lowing like grampus. The Betty
don't deserve her name if she
doesn't ride out the storm now"
She sighed again from sheer phys
ical WEAKNESS. For the first time
she seemed to be conscious of his
arms around her.
"Did-did I faint?" she faltered.
''No, that last line jerked you over
board. / got you just in time. In
another minute. we'd both been
lost"
She considered a moment in si-
lence. Then in a low voice that
would not have reached him if her
lips had not been close to his ears:
"You-you jumped overheard for
me?"

late," he replied.
Dick helped her into the cabin
where she fell exhausted on the bed
beside her father. While he hunted
around for a stimulant, she closed
her eyes and drifted off into doze.
She accepted the drink he applied
to her lips, slipping it slowly, and
under its stimulating effect the col

Dick stood before her, watching
her with greedy eyes. The nearness

in keeping back the emotion that
threatened to overwhelm him.

now," she said, smiling family when
he ordered her to take another sip.

ond case of mutiny aboard the
Betty"
His words recalled the other time
when her authority had been ig-
nored and the crew deserted. She
frowned and closed her eyes again.
"You can imprison me later"
he went on, "but until the storms
over I'm captain, and my first Or
der is that you keep in the cabin
and not appear on deck again."
II can't do that" she replied,
shaking her head. "There's too
much to do"
"Not for you. I can handle it."
''Not alone"
"Yesl"
He pushed her gently back when
she attempted to rise.
you'll have to stay here if l have
to tie you," he added gently but
firmly. "We're in no real danger
now. The sea-anchor's holding her
nose up in the wind and waves. II
she hasn't sprung a leak we'll ride
safely until morning."
"If she's leaking we must man the
pumps!" she exclaimed, attempting
to rise again.
"All right Stay here until l find
out. I'll report to you"
Doubtfully and unwillingly she
agreed to this. Dick made her COM
Portable, and then started up the
companion to see how much water
the ship carried in the hold.
Ten minutes later when he re-
turned she was sleeping, with one
brown arm thrown across her
breast, the other Imply crooked
above her head. The hair, disar-
ranged by the storm, fell in tangled
strands over her shoulders and
neck.
Unmindful of the shrek of the
wind and tumultuous roar of the
waves, he sat by her side, silently
watching her comely face and
youthful figure, his eyes glowing
with yearning desire. He stretched
forth hand to touch her arm. to
stroke her hair, to caress cheek, to
clasp limp hand in his and press
it to his lips; but he did not touch
her, nor permit his fingers to come
in contact with the bed or clothes.
Instead he drew back slowly, as
If actuated by some subtle force
that was stronger than his newly
awakening love brushing his eyes
with trembling hand. His face
grew suddenly pale and drawn, add
ing years to his age. AS a fugitive
from justice, with a price on his
head, he had no right to touch her
no right to drag her into the net that
entangled him. The wreck of the
steamer had temporarily freed him,
but Pettigrew would take up the
search and run him down.
He could not elude the law for
long; it had bounded him persistent
ly for two years, driving him from
pillar to post, and, when he had felt
the safest, found him buried in
small, obscure corner of South
America, living under an assumed
name, and started him back to an
swer for the crime he had never
committed. He could never feel
safe again!

They Rig Up a
Sea Anchor

"It's going to be a hard night for
both Of U.S." she went on. "We can't
raise any Of the sails, and if we
could the wind would blow them to
tatters. But the schooner's wal
lowing broadside to the waves. We
must stop that or we'n 60 under. I"
''Quite right, Captain. But how
are we going to do it? She won't
obey her rudder with any SAIL"
"No," she answered shortly. "But
there's that wreckage. It may save
US yet. We must get axes and
clear it away before it's too late" :"
'Aye! Aye, Captain. But you
mustn't risk your life in that work.
Let me do it"
She made no reply, but began
pulling an oiled slicker over her
shoulders, nodding to Dick to do the
same. She selected two stout axes
from rack, and after handing one
to him started for the companion.
Dick started to protest. "This isn't
your work, Rose. Leave it to me.
I'll follow orders"
''Then do as I do" she replied
curtly.
Her plan was simple in explana-
ton but difficult of execution. The
schooner was wallowing loggily in
the seas, half buried at times by
the brine, but the crash of the wreck
age against the outboard was the
most alarming thing. It threatened

CHAPTER VII

The shock of the explosion star
tied Dick so that his hands uncon-
sciously relaxed their grip and the
big Carib rolled from him. He was
so dazed that it took him some
time to realize that Rose had come
to his assistance at the critical mo-
ment, putting the Carib where he
could commit no further deviltry,
with bullet through his brain.
Captain Bedford had been knocked
on the head and left for dead by the
Caribs before they attacked Rose
in the cabin.
They found him hunched up in the
scuppers, where the sea brine was
threatening to finish what the blow
on the head had failed to do. They
carried him to the cabin and placed
him on a bed, and, while Rose
worked over him to restore him to
consciousness, Dick quietly re-
moved the dead bodies of the Caribs
and dropped them into the sea.
With this unpleasant task finished
he glanced at the sky before return
ing. The schooner was laboring
heavily in the sea, rolling and plung-
ing like an old bull walrus, every
seam groaning under the strain.
The gale was playing havoc with
what was left Of the sails and rig
ging.
"This means her finish," he NUT
tered. "She can never ride through
a second storm"
He returned to the cabin where
Rose had partly revived her father
through the liberal use of his favor
ite stimulant. He was far from be-
ing dead. 1t took more than a Carib's
bludgeon to kill the doughty New
England skipper, born and bred on
the water, giving and receiving
blows as a part of his daily life for
half a century or more.
Rose glanced up at his entrance
and smiled.
Hell recover" she said simply.
Dick nodded gravely, but did not
return the smile. He was worried,
and could not conceal the fact from
her.
"What're we going to dor" he
asked. "The schooner is rocking
and shaking like an old man with
the ague. She'll never hold together
until morning"
''The Betty of New London" she
replied slowly, a gleam of pride in
her face, twas built in the days
when ships were made to hold to-
gether and not fall apart in the first
storm. Her keePs of hard white
oak, and her ribs of the best hack
matack. She'll ride through this
storm as she did the other"

eyes, but we can stop that. Were
you ever sailor?"
Dick shook his head. Nothing
but an amateur. I could sail a
yacht, and maybe qualify for a
second-rate seaman. That's about
ALL"
''Then I'll take command" she
replied quietly. you'll take orders
from me?"
"Aye! Aye! At your service, Cap
tain ,Rose!"
He touched his forehead in salute
and clicked his heels in true mill.

not a flicker of a smile lighting it
up.
