Awakening next morning Drake hears— Captain Stevens of the Orontes denounce him as a “dude.” Angry, Drake sneaks aboard the Oront: as one of the crew, but is recog- nized by Stevens and soundly trounced. He is put down on the &hip's articles as Boy, thereby shaming him before— Mary Manning, daughter of the owner, who is a passenger on the Orontes. In the forecastle Joe' Bunt- ing bas made an enemy of Tony, another sailor, by throwing him out of a bunk in favor of Drake, Tony attacks Joe. Drake steps in and pro- ceeds to administer a beating to Tony. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY “Bli'me! Th' lad can handle his- self!” yelped Joe, dancing around the combatants. “Aw, give 'Im th' knee, advised Tubbs, disgustedly. wallop th' pair o' yuh!” “Never min' 'im, lad, I'm your man!” shouted Joe, pushing a pudgy fist up close to Tubbs' nose. “Look- Tony!" 1 cld CAPTAIN A.EDINGLES R 'im”gfsm: 0 panionway, rosy the dawn, sweet as thie sun warmed air, She stood a moment Inhaling the morning's freshness, reveling in the dancing glints of the rising sun upon the waters, then glanced aft, She seom- ed to be hesitating. Mr, Adams greeted her with a smiling good morning. “You have never taken your trick yet, Miss Manning,” he sald. “You won't get a better chance. She steers like a yacht now. Want to try?"” “I'd lke to,” she said quickly. She looked around, all over the deck. “I hope the captain won't disrate you for letting me,” she laughed. “I will trust in your good word,” Mr, Adams repiled gallantly. DRI Mary took the wheel, and the helmsman stood by until the second mate was satlsfied that she could steer as well as the seaman. She sang softly, in a full throated contralto that held the timbre of the ocecan itself. Drake moved from brass to brass. He set down his brickdust and oll tin on the lee grating as shg ‘sang the last lines of the verse: “Glad, and glad, was the sallor lad, as he steered and sang at his wheel:" TR e~ SHE STOOD A MOMENT, INHALING THE MORNING'S FRESH- NESS. in’ fer a fight, are yuh?" “Go take a jump at yerself! | Who's talkin’ to you?" growled i Tuhbs. | Tony slipped between Drake's jarms to the deck, and crouched there on hands and knees shaking | | his head foolishly, Drake stood over | him, unmarked ~except for a blue | eve and a scratched cheek, the re- | | suit of an attack at gouging; but | Tony stayed there, shaking his head, a thin trickle of blood reddening Ithe deck, and Tubbs and Sims| grabbed hold of him and dragged | | nim out on deck to wash him off. | Joe seized Drake by the hand, and | | dragged him over to the bunk, | | where he filled his own precious l1ittle nose-warmer with rich plug | ‘m!mrcn and handed it to him in proud silence, ‘ “Good lad, yer a good lad.

And the big red sun peeped up. | Then, to challenge the sun, Mary Manning stepped from the som- | | over his brasswogk, And when she began to sing the refrain, Drake unoonsciously sang in harmony: “Only another day to wander, only another night to roam; Then safe at last, the harbor past— She stopped abruptly, coloring in embarrassment. And Drake went on and finished the verse as he rubbed oily dust over the brass boss of the wheel. “I beg your pardon, Miss Man- ning. The beauty of the morning must have made me forget that I am just a dirty little ship's boy.” CHAPTER X Tke Saintly Interrupts Drake glanced forward. He pol- ished away assiduously. The brass- work received much benefit from the momentary excitement that flooded him. He tinglgd with the urge to boldly tell her everything. But the back view of Mr. Adams warned him that perhaps some other time might be better. The second mate stood watching some- thing going on in the waist; the skipper's voice was heard down there, ton. Captain Stevens was anxious about the skinning of that murdered mutton. A few slashes from inexpert blades would utterly ruin the sheep pelt for a rug; and the skipper expected to make & decided hit when he gave that snowy, silky skin to Mary. “You wore a blue velvet frock, and a silly pot-shaped hat that hid your ears and almost vour face,” he sald softly. He pol- ished away at his brass, but glanced up and grinned, to see her eyes widen, and ‘her parted teeth bleam through lips slightly opened in a little gasp of surprise. A slow smile broke over her face, and she raised her brows. “And you were in a beastly tem- per,” she retorted. “You slammed the gate! T knew you were no ship's hoy. Now tell me what on earth you ! have embarked on this crazy esca- pade for.’ “Is it so craz he asked soft- and looked full into her blue eyes with so much meaning in his own glowing black ones that th blue eyes fell, the deep color flood- ed her neck and throat, and she turned her face away. Drake bent polighing like mad; chuckling happily. And the hig ship swung wide of her course, for Mary's attention was far, far off. The main sky-sail flapped and went aback; the royals degan to shake; the flying jib rattled its hanks and thumped its sheet blocks. spun the big wheel; Drake sprang to help her; but the mis- chief was done. The skipper came running up the ladder, his face por- tending ill for the culprit. He stopped and stared when he saw the helmsman; then a sarcastic gnecr twisted his face and he curtly told the second mate to get a man to the wheel. Drake had got' the ship to her course by the time the seaman relieved the wheel; he'plck- ed up his brasswork tin and moved to the skylight rods.
