Awakening next morning, Drake hears himself denounced by— |as being a “dude" — not evén fit for shanghaling. Drake sneaks aboard the ship as ane of the crew. On the Orontes is— Mary Manning, daughter of the owner. Hiding in a narrow steel shell in the forecastle, Drake hears the voices of Miss Manning and Captain Stevens.

While he was there, Drake had to remain hidden. The men forward clustered at the fore hatch. The lads in the halfdeck put on their jackets and caps. At the rail above Mary Manning's voice replied; her hearty laughter leaped aloft in the sleeping breasts of the gleaming salls. “I want to see watches picked again,” she said. “It is so interest- “HERE, HERE!—NONE OF wiv the crowd as signed in the cabin" “They won't put me off or dump me out, As soon as the pllot goes off, 'l see the Old Man, Just now, 1 am atarving, and bedless, and want a smoke so badly I'd sign away my payday for that inch o6f olay you're chewling to dhalk.” * “C'm on!" sald Joe, and they en- tered the torecastle. Already the big forecastle rumbled with the shearing bow wave, Sleepers added their own note. The bright new kerosene lamp on the bulkhead was turned low. With the casy motion of the ship clothes swung from their pegs with a sibllant swish. In the after end of the port forecastle Joe Bunting had chosen his bunk. The only other bunk vacant was far for- ward. Beneath Joe's bunk Tony Fernando lay, dreaming already of Hils next payday. Joe seized him by the breast of his shirt. “C'm on outa that, hombre! Shake a leg! Rise an’ shine!” “Wotta da mat! Time for turn out 80 soon?” stammered Tony, rub- bing heavy eyes. Joe was rum- maging through his pockets for a stub of pencll. He found it while yet Tony struggled with sleep, and scribbled a straggling “Peter Finch” on the lee board. “C'm on,. me son!

Drake felt an almost irresistible impulse to go forth and confront this new skipper who broadcast such | opinions about sallormen. Then the | big poop bell clanged elght sonorous strokes, and the ‘mate blew his| whistle. “Let the hands muster, hosun!" he bawled. Captain Stevens walked aft, leaving his mates to divide the men. There were bosun, and carpenter, and cook: they answered to their names. Then the sailmaker. Next | the able seamen, one by one. ““Tony Fernando!" “Here!" “Henry Halll" “'Ere, sir!"” “Joe Bunting!" The names were called down to 4 And there was no re- e to the {ast. named called.’ Drake suddenly remembered the ship had sailed one man short. The mate apparently had forgotten, too. He called again: “Peter Finch!" | “That's the man that cleared out,” | the second mate volunteered. When Drake, stepping into the crowd like a shadow, answered: “Peter Finch, here si!
