Would any of the allied nations dare to dis arm? No, not even if it were stipu- lated that Germany should disarm. None of the nations would dare to disarm until Germany had actually disarmed, for there is no faith in Ger- many in the heart of any man of the milions now in the ranks of the allies. Certainly Americans can have no such faith, after the manner in which the German autocrats have outraged, de- ceived; betrayed and played upon this nation.

In the Hands of the Crew. The afternoon brought me increased faith that the imprisonment of Fergus McCann had practically ended the re- bellion of the men forward, No doubt the spirit of mutiny still lingered, but ‘without the leadership this had ceased to be ugerous. Unbacked by the New Yorker's display of wealth, Liver- pool Red and Jim White were sudden- ly shorn of power to control the crew. Nor did anything occur during the remainder of the duy to lead me to re- vise this conclusion, The weather held fair, and the men worked cheerfully, Now that the liquor was out of them they proved themselves a fairly effi- clent crew, obeying the orders of the mates sinartly. Apparently the crisis hud been passed, and the only problem remuning to confront us was that of navigation, With my mind at rest on this point, I passed the hours of the afternoon largely in my own stateroom, sleeping for an hour or more in prep- aration for the night’s watch on deck, and later carefully figuring out in de- tall the exact course I should attempt to follow dwring the period of dark- hess. Before the call to supper came, I called on Bascom to explain to him the situation, but found the man stupefied by some drug, taken perhaps to allevi- ate pain, and scurcely capable of com- prehending my meaning. Satisfied that I could gain no assistance from him, I left the man lying helplessly in his bunk, and returned to the main cabin. Vera did not appear until after Lea- yord and I were seated at tabie, yet she had been on deck during the after- noon, and had much to say relative to the beauty of the ocean scene through which we sailed, It was a pleasant hour we passed at the table, Leayord relieving Olson, but the girl and I lingering in rather Idle conversation before we went on deck. In spite of the pleasant day, and that the sun was still visible in the west- ern sky, the air on deck was chill, and T returned below for a heavier coat, and ulso brought back with me a cloak belonging to the late commander with which to protect Miss Carrington. But for a faint trail of smoke far to the |, westward, barely visible as the sun sank below the horizon, no evidence was discernible of any other vessel in the'wide circle. I hailed the lookout in the maintop, but the wisp of smoke was too for away for his eyes to deter- mine the course of the distant steamer, although as he swept his glasses a bit farther northward, they became fixed and motionless, As I stared up at him, his voice reported: “Sail ho!” “Where away?” “About three points off the port bow, sir—a schooner’s topsail.” “Very well, keep her in sight—a fish- ing vessel likely.” Both watches were on deck, clus- tered in a restless bunch before the forecastle, or overhanging the rail, evi- detitly deeply interested in observing our efforts to get all possible speed out of the Indian Chief. The fading light gave me a glimpse of their faces, and I noticed that both Liverpool and’ White were circulating freely from group to group. However, the men responded readily enough to Olson’s orders, and sang cheerily as they tailed onto the ropes, Liverpool himself lead- ing the way up the ratlines and out upon the mainyard as they sheeted home, : ABAND” (Copyright A. C, McClurg & Co., ‘The stars began to pop out in the arch of sky ubove, silvering the wa- ters, and we could’ no longer perceive what was taking place forward, ‘The night shades settled about us, und the staunch Indian Chief drove her sharp bows through the black waste of sea in a race to cross the zone of danger before the coming of another dawn. Appurently everything was In our fa- vor, and I stood there, leaning against the rail, chatting with Miss Vera, our conversation drifting idly. It must have been ufter nine when the girl left, complaining of being chilled even in the protection of the great cloak. I crossed the deck with her to the head of the stairs, and our hands clasped as we lingered there a moment, the dim light revealing her fuce uplifted toward mine, “You are not going below, then, Mr. Hollis?” she questioned. “Surely ail goes well?” “So remarkably well,” I admitved, “as to rather puzzle me, No, I shall} remain on deck until morning; net that I really anticipate troyble, but the entire responsibility rests with me.” “You do not feel that your officers are efficient?” 5 “Ouly within théir limits of knowl- edge. I like the men, and trust them, but at that they are only promoted from before the mast in un emergency. Neither possess any real knowledge of feamanship, You can go to your berth, | und go to sleep, Miss Vera, assured that the ship will be in safe hands.” “I know it will, if you remain on deck,” she answered earnestly,. “I—I have learned to trust you.” “The hours of the night gave me am- ple opportunity for thought, and care- ful consideration, The wind held steady, and while the sea roughened somewhat this slight change was not sufficient to diminish our progress, or | cause any swerving from the course | set. All remained quiet forward, the watch on deck finding little to do other than their routine duties, and no mem- ber of the crew had any occasion to come aft, except those detailed to the wheel. There seetned no reason why I should remain on deck, yet the respon- | | sibility rested upon’ me, and the impor- tance of the night’s run prevented my having any wish to retire below. How- ever, I found no occusion to interfere with the operation of the ship, and re- mained ‘mostly ‘on the main. deck, where my watchfulness assured me} there. was no communication passed : between forecastle and cabin. The fog grew steadily more dense, i until at dawn, we were steaming reck- | lessly through a thick cloud of vapor, | ; barely able. to observe the surface of the sea, dull, sodden gray, a few yards |, in advance of our: bow.: .The dense, watery folds swept élong’our sides, and the rigging dripped moisture onto the glistening deck planks. It was a gloomy, dreary morning‘ enough and, - even as the light‘of early dawn strengthened, I could scarcely distin- guish a thing forward of: the main mast, However, there was no slowing | up of speed or sounding of siren. Con- vinced that we were now sufely to the north of the usual course of ships, I preferred to take the chance of possi- ble collision, My eyes were heavy from lack of sleep, and long staring out through the black night; my senses dulled by hours of inaction, during which nothing un- usual had occurred to arouse me to realization of impending danger. I no longer even suspected trouble, or any active hostility forward. With the dawn the density of fog enwrapping us seemed to increase, and completely blot out every glimpse of sea und sky. Even Lefyord leaned over the rail just above me, could scarcely be dis- tinguished as a man, and evidently his eyes could not make me out at all, for he hailed doubtfully: “Are you still on deck, Mr. Hollis?” “Yes,” I answered, staring up at his shadow. “A bad fog.” “It is, sir. Would we better reduce speed?” z “No, not yet; I am.counting on open water, and would rather chance strik- Ing a stray than risk being overhauled by a British crutsér, The sun will split this mist before noon, and mean- while we must make all the northing possible.” I heard his “aye, aye, sir,” as I crossed to the port rail. I had reached a point nearly opposite the broken stump of the foremast when I was sud- denly confronted by two blurred fig- ures emerging noiselessly from the deeper shadow cast by a quarter boat swinging in davits. The fellows must have known who I was, and the path of my approach; no doubt had been close enough aft to, overhear my con- versation with Leayord. At least they were on me before I truly realized their near presence—the one gripping the arm I flung up in startled defense ; the other driving his fist straight into my fuce,‘a sledge-hammer blow which | gent me crashing back full length on! the deck. . Stunned, dazed as I was by this vicious attack, I made an instant's struggle, but was quickly crushed back, a merciless hand gripping my throat. Almost at the same moment the revol-; ver was removed from my pocket, the , cold muzzle thrust against my cheek, “Lie still, d——-you!" muttered a tense voice, and I knew the speaker | for Jim White, “or I'll blow the whole top o’ yer head off.” a I retained sense enough to obey, White’s knee pinning me to the deck, but sdme sound of my fall must have carried aft, for Leayord sang oui through the fog: “Forward ‘there! racket about?” White's flugers choked me Into help-} less silence, his knee crunching hard| into my breast. It was Liverpool Red | who answered sullenly: What's ail that | mutiny, ane a mighty serious affair to “Lie Still, D——You!” “{ knocked over a capstan bar, sir; never saw it In the bloomin’ fog.” Leayord growled something, the words failing to carry to us against the wind, but a moment later, satistied that no further Investigation was to be made, Liverpool thrust White aside and lifted me to my feet, his eyes glaring into mine, “One whimper from you, an’ yer overbourd he muttered hoarsely. “Take it from me we know what we're about, Come on now, an’ don’t attempt nuthin’, There’s nobody forard here ter give yer a hand. Take him by the collar, Jim.” With White’s hand gripping me, and} my own revolver at my head, any ut- tempt to break away would have been simply suicide, The thick fog hid the scene from those on watch aft, and that the two men were reckless and | desperate, their plans well lald, was evident. The grhy light revealed their fuces, and there was no mercy in the scowllng eyes, “Rorward yer go, sir!” growled White, his fingers twisted In the jacket collar, “It’s little: more yer’l hav’ ter say aboard this hooker,” i “What do you propose doing? This is mutiny, men.” “Then it'll have to be mutiny. It’s war, an’ we're Englishmen; this ship's loaded with war stuffs, bound fer Ger- many. Thut sort o’ talk means nuthin’ —so come on, and stow that gaff.” They forced me around the bulk of the windlass to the head-of the’ fore- castle steps, slid back the door in Its} grooves and thrust me staggering down into the murky depths below, A slush light, swinging to a blackened beam in the deck above, Cast a ghastly yellow- ish glare over the interior, revealing to me at least two-thirds of the crew, clustered about, evidently awaiting some guch event. White held to my collar, but Liverpool closed the en- trance, shutting out even that falot breath of pure alr, before speaking a word, “Well, we've got the main guy, lads, an’ no-shindy,” he said cheerfully, “an’ a gun cume with him, Now-a few o’ us will see if we can persuade the first | mite into taking a trip forward.” | Billy Olson?” “Where's asked. a voice, “Oh, he’s asleep below; there’s plen- ty o’ time to attend to him, an’ we'll let the engine-room gang ulone till we yet control o ’the deck, Simms, you an’ Harris better come along with Jim un’ me on this job, Leayord is a husky buck, an’ we might not get him foul like we caught Hollis here. We don’t want to hurt nobody unless we have to. Where’s the nigger Watson?” “Right hyar, sah.” “Come on, then; it’s your trick at the wheel in five minutes; the rest o’ you fellers know yer business.” The five men slipped out cautiously, | sliding the door shut behind them, and I stared ubout into the faces of those left with me, still dazed by the rough handling to which I had been subject- ed, yet fully aroused to the fact that the attack upon me had come from no sudden impulse, but was the first step | in a carefully formed plan to gain pos- | session of the ship. My duty was to| warn the mer aft of the approaching | danger. How should I act? In a vague way I knew most of the faces of those grouped about me, but I could recall only a few names. They were a rough lot, typicaé foremast hands, many of pronounced foreign appear- ance, yet there was nothing especially vicious about them, Ordinarily they would obey orders without a complaint, but now they were evidently under full control of their leaders; yet. the ex- pression of their. faces bespoke eurl- wsily rather than hatred. Determined to test them I straightened up and placed a foot on the Idwer step. “None o’ that now,” a voice growled as a hand gripped my arm. “You don’t? want ter git hurt none, do yer?” I faced the speaker, a big, two-fisted giant with a red face and a slow drawl in his voice. “You mean to hold me here?” ‘Sure; we’ve gone too far on this Job now fer to back dowh, Thar’d be! 2 row ov a time if we turned you! loos “You're an Irishman?” “°Twould be hard for a Dugan to} dery that, sor.” “Well, Dugan, look here—you and your mates.

You kill | a man on board here, and it 1s mur- der, and the whole bunch of you can be made to swing for it. Men have got life for less than you have done now. But I'll give you a chance.” “What chance, sor?” “To stand by the ship. Set me free now, and back up the officers in main- taining discipline aboard, and not one of your names goes into the log.” “An’ sail the bloomin’ hooker to Hamburg?” “Of course; that’s the port you signed for.” There was an uneasy shuffling of feet, and a muttering of voices, The light was too poor to enable me to de- * cipher the expressions on the faces of the-men, yet I felt that my words were wasted. Dugan, however, voiced the prevailing sentiment. “Not a d— one ov us 1s fer mak- ing that voyage,” he said grimly. “So stow yer tongue, mate.” He winked at me facetiously, then glanced about at the others, “There's bigger wages comin’ to us now than ever we sigued on for.” (To be continued.) -0 | 0-— sats oO in Garrison—Charles Cowan ot Third street, has gone to Garrison for a week's visit.
