He would ex- -gcute that plan as coolly and peace- fully as if it had been the letting go ot an anchor in a safe harbor. ‘ Byen if it had not been for Wong his charts and his f.lling glass, _ you would have known that some- ‘thing out of the ordinary was going ‘to happen, beczuse the birds and the ” beasts knew it and were giving no- tice. They were talking among them: selves in low anxious voices. _ The monkeys clung together, and more and more often there rose from them low moaning sounds in- _ stead of the usual chatterings. The tigers whimpered and whined, but at the first far-off rumble of thunder, the male gave answer in a full- “throated roar of fear and defiance, The Boldero was nearing the end of the submerged reef, and not wish- Ing to pass beyond this, Wong Bo had ordered the engine into slow speed. This fact would also be of advantage in any investigation. It _ Would tend to prove that he had _ practiced caution. There came suddenly a blue-white Miumination by lightning. Captain “Wong Bo happened at the moment ‘to be leaning on the forward rai! of the bridge, Flint, a bundle of rasped, go nerves, was close beside ‘im. It happened when the flash came ‘that the eyes of both were idly fo- eused on the black triangle formed by the forecastie-head and the bow plates of the Boldero, During the instant of day-white \Mlumination, and before the ensuing _erasii of thunder, a mattress, an un- pressed pillow and neatly made-up hedding could be seen aft of the pin- nacie. Bowers had not slept in his bed. Flint gripped the rail so tightly that the nails of his fingers began to cut into the flesh. Wong Bo, how ever, was vastly amused. He chuckled so that he shook from head to foot like a mau made of blanc- t' going” said Flint sav- agely. “Let's pile her up now.” “I think better wait g little,” said Captain Wong Bo. "Plitty soon him lain. Heap tain. More better.” “To hell with the rain,” said Flint, “and everything else!” A" eavesdropper in the vicinity of the forecastle-head would have @iscovered at once that the passe! Bers were not asleep. He would have beard a murmur of voices which Were very close together. which murmured in turn and spoke @ kind @f lovers’ litany, First the mates PRoice: @ “Does it matter where we iver" s “No.” ¢ “Do you care?” y “No. Do you?” “No.” e ‘There was a perceptible pause in Captain Wong Bo realized that it would be necessary to let this man and several others into the secret of what was going to happen, and buy their silence by giving them a share in the returns. If he had not stolen the guns this would not have been necessary, In point of view of time, when a Chinaman gives an explanation mixed up with a lot of orders, he has @ great advantage over a white man, because the man to whom he ts mak- ing the explanations and giving the orders makes all his admissions of complete understanding and of readiness to obey at the same time. Fora minute or two then, Captain Wong Bo and his first officer both talked at once. The first officer, beaming then at the thought of un- expected wealth, hurrii to obey the orde: ich he “received, He was' to it first that doors were so fastened and hatches bat- tened down that the passengers who had gone below could by no means at their disposal return to the deck, They would be at thé moment in their cabins changing into dry things. He had his pass-key on a ring. He was, if it could be done without de tection, to lock them in. If detected he had his automatic. Let him use it, TE first officer had not long de- parted upon his grrand of rat- trapping when Flint, who had been all the way down into the bowels of the ship, returned to the bridge. Captain Wong Bo meanwhile had altered the course of the Boldero, and now the doomed ship no longer ran parallel with the reef but ap- proached it on a long diagonal. Flint reported that the sea-valves | were rusted solid and that he did not believe that they could be moved by any human force. The lightning flashed and the rain and the thun- der boomed and roared. Since the sea-valves had failed them, it was necessary for the Bol- dero to hit the reef as hard as pos- sible, Captain Wong Bo ordered full steam ahead. There was no wind. How long it would be before the Boldero struck the reef, Captain Wong Bo himself did not know ex- actly, but he knew that it would be soon, Flint, upon the impulse of what sounded more like an exclama- tion than an order hurried off to the wireless-room and began at once to broadcast’ messages of distress, Three shorts, three longs, three shorts, 8 O 8! 8 Q 8! 8 OS! The Boldero had hit 9 reef and was sink- ing fast. (Flint smiled grimly, She hadn't hit it yet but she was going to. Damn her!) He broadcasted the ship's position. To Wong Boat the wheel, the crackling and spluttering of the wireless were pleasurable sounds, To him they did not spell latitude and longitude or the despairing let- ters 8 O S. They spelled rather “Alibi! Alibi! Nice. Heap nice! Alibi! .. Suddenly the waters ahead were Hghtened by a bright flash. The rain, it,seemed, had stopped, for the wa- térs looked mirror-smooth and not ds’ if they had been pitted witb; Smallpox. Now they split open like a ripped coat, and for a short frac: tion of time showed a white lining. | Phen the seam closed. The ship was going to hit in a very few seconds, and as Wong Bo “the whispering. Then the woman's Voice: “Does it matter when we die?” “No” “Do you care?” - Do you?” . no.” ) There had been a Jul] in the ap Proaching storm. It was as if it bad ‘been gathering {tself for a spring. There were sounds of vast rippings and tearings. Lightning and thunder Mashed and crashed without per ceptible intervals, and then the rain Struck like a blow. Captain Wong Bo turned to Filnt, ‘and gave the first order toward the farrying out of his carefully con- ceived plan of barratry. “I think ydu go below now,” he ‘said. ‘The lightning flashes were almost Sontinuous, and the decks and super- BASEBALL'S BIG SIX| | Paul Waner had a perfect day! @t bat against Chicago yesterday, and jumped into the Big Six lead. | three points ahead of Lou Gehrig, | had been tied.!

Almost immediately with a great shock and a great sound of erunching and crashing, the Bol dero struck. The engines were still going full speed ahead. Captain | Wong Bo got to his feet and ordered them to be stopped and then re versed, Flint, bis nerves no longer jump- ing, and jerking, came out of the wireless-room. The world upon ;{ which he had called for help was trying to tell him that help was on the way. But he was all through with being a wireless operator.
