Awakening the next morning Drake hears— CAPTAIN STEVENS of the Oron- tes denounce him as a “dude.” Angry, Drake sneaks aboard the Orontes as one of the crew. For awhile he passes muster as “Peter Finch," until Stevens recognizes him. There follows a fight between Drake and Stevens, In which Drake is soundly trounced, He is put down in the ship's articles as Boy, thereby shaming him before— MARY MANNING, daughter of the owner, who is a passenger on the Orontes. Joe Bunting and Drake Join hands in the forecastle. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY “Captain Stevens refuses to let me have things out of the slops. Said at my rate of wages I'd need all the al- |lcwance coming to me to buy oil- !skins and boots when the weather gets bad.” “Then I'd wear my old dungarees till I was bare-legged, me lad!" growled Joe. “Show 'im up‘afore th’ gal!” “1 wonder; Joe,” grinned Drake stealing a glance aft. Joe sat beside his pal and thread- ed a needle. He could help, if he could not dissuade. As he stiched he, too, stole glances aft, for he was a |loyal little man, was Joe. He sided {with Drake. For the proverbial pair of fat weevils he would have march- ed aft and demanded clothés for him. Mary Manning !aughed merrily. Drake glanced up, to gratify the senses with sight of her. As she stood there in sailor blue, her brown hair full of golden glints, her face alight in the last rich rays of the set- ting sun, she was a vision for a sailor to ses. “Wot's bitin' th' Old Man now?" growled Joe. Drake started at the voice. It dragged him out of his dream. He looked at the skipper. And he too wondered what could be the matter. Jake Stevens was not looking at Mary Manning. His eyes were cold and hard. He was smilling, in truth, but it was the smile of a sailor-fed shark. And it was fixed full upon Drake and the work in his hands. The skipper spoke to Mr. {Twining, and the mate's \rhistle shrilled out. “You, Drake! Lay aft!"” “Go on, mate!” urged Joe hoarse- ly. Don't give 'ilm no chance to git {after yuh!" Drake laid down his work leisure- llv, rummaged among the canvas scraps. “Go on!" wheezed Joe, painfully. The skipper was scowling. Drake picked up the scissors he had bor- rowed and walked aft, trying to brush and pull his soiled and torn dungarees into some sort of fitness as he went. “Get a move on m'lad!” cried the mate. The skipper's eyes glittered. Mary took her eyes from the fore hatch gathering and looked interest- edly at Drake as he mounted the lee side ladder. “You told me you had been to Fe before,” enapped the skipper. “Yes, sir,’ smiled Drake, meeting the glittering eyes squarely, wonder- ing what new humiliation was to be tried out upon him. “Take the helm. Mister Twining, watch him! If he's been lying, keep him there until he learns!” Captain Stevens turned to Mary CAPTAIN A.E.DINGLE® b 1924 by BIANTAND'S INC_ AL RIGHTS RESERVED (jguu?w b NAL SERVICE TN and she looked yp rather suprisedly | backed nobly by Nick Coombs, and glven dignity to bySails, There was a frankly unfriendly party urged on by Tony, headed by the two young and lusty seamen, Tubbs and Sims, Tony would have led that gang, but his two lleutenants proved far too assertive, Old Bill Gadgett played a. glven dignity to by Sails. There was old Bill's way.

More, he gave them something to ponder over one fine evening by swarming clear up to the collar of the topmast backstay and there hanging by one hand for five minutes before descending hand under hand. ‘When he went to the forecastle after that gratifying trial of strength, he found a wordy battle on between Tony and Joe, and the gang egging them on. Tony had a bitter spite against Joe ever since having been hauled from his bunk in favor of Drake\. Joe was busy upon a general overhauling of his bunk. “I t'eenk you keesa da boy some- time, Joe, ha?" challeged Tony des- perately. Joe seemed to be proof against his jibes. “M’lad, you run away an’ play be- fore you get hurt,” replied Joe, his head and shoulders still buried in his bunk gear. Drake stood just in- side the door, wondering at the si- lence that suddenly came over the walting gang. “Who weel hurt me, ha?"’ de- manded Tony, stepping nearer and slowly emerged, his fat red face wearing an annoyed expression, his keen gray eyes glittering. And after the fashion of some forecastle fight- ers, Tony leaped to get the advan- tage before his foe could straighten up. He fell upon Joe while the fat little red man was twisted halfway around, and drove him back sav- agely upon the sharp edge of his bunk. It was an old trick, and one likely to break ribs if properly fol- lowed up. Tony proceeded to follow it up.
