It’s lots -gooler on deck than below.” “Personally,” said Bowers, “I am going to use my cabin or cabins as dresfing-rooms and parcel-rooms, I understand that you are a part owner, It’s therefore with regret that I must report that your ship seems to have been built for the conyentence of cockroaches and worse.” “We do the best we can,” sald \ Filnt. “Every now and then we close * all the ports, batten down all the hatches, and do a great extermina- tion act with sulphur or formalde- strve @ glass of cliampagne. At breakfast, of course; this is optional, Captain Wong Bo has some cases of excéllent champagne. We have, as you know, # refrigerating plant, and so our champagne comes to thé table in & Sucket of ice.” “I havé an awful feeling,” said Bowers, “that this voyage is not | Going to last long enough.” “By the way,” sald Flint, “ao either of you play Deidger’ ‘They both did. “That will be good news for the ar said Flint. “I play a little when I get a chance, but it is: his Particular madness. When he can’t get a gamé, he is always dealing ex- permimental hards and working out end-plays.” It was extraordinarily still. The ship's. progress was hardly fast enough to create a ripple. The buried thudding and cluttering of the érigitie seemed rather to accent than to dis- turb thé stillhéss, You might have thought, 80 still they were, that the birds and the animials were all dead. Then suddenly thé air began to throb with a soft musical and con- tinuous vibration. It seemed to draw nearer and nearer, and to swell and Swell, and then to recede and to wane, The “Get Ready” gong had sound- ed, and Ivy Green announced that although she was not going to dress for dinner, she was going to change, Bowers showed her where the cabins were, her luggage and the shower, While she was changing, he lo * hyde.

The bolt, with which the door was formerly fastened, has shorn off, and the key to the lock is doubtless in the collection of some souvenir hunter, “The bath is airy in more ways than this. The curtain, which for merly may have contained a per centage of rubber, now resembles that material which, in the best dressmaking establishments, goes by the name of ‘Peekaboo.’” “The best way,” said Flint, “to bathe on this ship is to come on Geek and have some of the crew douse you with buckets of sea- “1 think,” said Miss Green, “that Pi have to give the shower a fair trial fret.” “I had an idea,” said Bowers, “that the sleeping accommodations on the Boldero might not be as rep- resented tn the company's recent world-wide advertising campaign, so 1 bought two mattresses at a trad- tugetore. They ma; be a little hard and a little thin, but they are clean. 1 Bought also some pillows, pillow- shams and sheets. I thought Miss Green would probably wish to sleep on deck.” “I ought to sleep somewhere near the animals,” said she. “You pick the place,” said Bow- ers, “and we'll do the rest.” “There ts no place like this place,” sald she. “What do you cali it?” “The forecastie-head,” said Flint. “It there is any breeze, you'll get it, and if there is, as sometimes. a strong jungle smell, it will be car ted aft.” “What will I do if it rains?” she asked. “You will go below,” said Bowers, “in a drowning condition; but it is ot apt to rain. It shouldn't rain for several weeks, and the sea ought to ‘HE sun bad long since gone down @* behind the mountains which back of Sinbao, and the short twilight was gpming to an “We dine early,” said Flint. “Does Boyone mind?” “Do we dress?” asked Miss Green. “Not the first night out,” said Flint. “We borrow our manners and customs from the best English !in- era. In about two minutes, the ‘Get Ready’ gong will be sounded, and twenty minutes later the ‘Come eat’ oug.” “And where,” asked Bowers, “is the dining saloon “Nobody kno said Flint. “It ‘was abandoned 's and years ago.

Later that night he succeeded in overruling Miss Green’s objections to the arrangement which he had ordered. “Except for Flint and me,” he said, “there is nobody on thi hip but Chinamen. A Chinese sailor can be one of the most unpleasant things in the world, Your bed is right up in the butts. Mine is well aft and cross- wise to the ship. “I don’t snore, and I don’t annoy young women who dislike me. Aren’t you perhaps flattering yourself a lit- tle too much? The facts are these: you're in my employ, therefore you're under my protection and I am responsible for you. I am going to protect you whether you like it or not. “You're a pretty girl on a ship full of men, mostly young and mostly bad characters. No one is going to annoy you or molest you in any way, and that goes for me too.” EOPLE in the tropics who make a habit of going to bed late are people who can get along with a minimum of sleep. Daylight itself is the universal alarm clock. That first night out, Ivy turned in at 9 o'clock. She had changed in her superheated cabin- to a suit of men’s pyjamas and a wrapper. It was a black night, and it was not without difficulty that she found the way to her reservation between the capstan and the extreme bows of the ship. She shed her wrapper and tucked in. The sea was glass smooth, but there was a long slow majestic ground-swell. The black triangle of the Boldero’s bows was a long time ii completing each slow rise and fall. There is nothing that could be called a breeze except that created by the Boldero’s four knots an hour. ivy lay on her back and looked up at the stars. A sheet covered her lightly and was perhaps too much covering; but toward morning the temperature in those seas nearly al- ways dropped a little, and the thin blanket which Bowers had provided’ would come in handy. She was reconciled to the sleeping arrangements. Bowers’ bed was made up aft of the capstan, and she admitted to herself that she would have been nervous to lie out on the deck with no one near. The Chinese crew on the Boldero had not made a favorable impression ou her, It takes all kinds of China- men to make the race, and among the Boldero crew some of the lowest types could be recognized at a glance. Unrestrained and without fear of consequences, they were the kind of men who would stop at nothing. If Bowers had not been an animal murderer she would have liked him irom the start. She could not but be- lieve that he was honorable, and that his promise to protect her was valid. Presently she heard the sound of his slippered feet. One of the tigers growled warningly rather than me- nacingly as he passed, and one of | Philadelphia the long-legged birds said something to the others about his passing.

Re- member, boys, a couple yedrs ago! when a club from this city travel-} ed to Cuba and we were beaten so} badly that only three games. were played out of a scheduled seven- game seriés? The outstanding hero of the abbreviated series was Cyril Griffin, who slammed a couple of long homers over the fence, BASKETBALL, TOO? If they should bring a basket- ball team, the hardwood fans of this city will get a real thrill as we have a number of _ basketers who are quite adept at sending | the ball through the wicker andj who also have had tournament ex- perience against other Floridian} cities. Probably. the contest would bring back.a revival of in-j terest in the game that once stood} prominently in sporting circles but} which has in the past few years} been a minor sport in fandom cir- cles. AND MAYBE FOOTBALL! A gridiron encounter with the foreign guests might be arranged but more than likely the teams would not have sufficient time to get in the pink of condition should } these games materialize. We must | remember that this is not the Pi- rates, Sluggers or any other or- ganization but rather our repre- sentation will be known as Key} West, the city we Jove, and the city that we live in.

Griffin Makes Reply Cyril “Beliss’” Griffin, official umpire of the FERA _ Softball Leagues, emphatically denies the statement attributed to him that “The Pirates will not win another game as long as I am connected Oscar Pita, sports writer of The Sunday Star, claims that the umpire was accus- ed of making this statement the night before the Lopez-Pirate game. He neither affirms nor denies the accusation against Grif- fin, but says that it is the talk ; around town and that the fans | were beginning to think that there was something behind the rumor Umpire Griffin, in discussing this matter with The Citizen this morning, stated further that he} has no ill-feeling against any team | participating in the league games. | and that he will continue to ren- der all decisions as he sees them.
