Yet when he had gone she ran to the window, in hopes that he would look around. But he did not turn his head, and she flung hers~lf on the sofa in a storm sobbing. Go Crash! The fog lifted as if from the force of the blow, cisclosing a huge, black hulk, vague in the darkness, which, towering high, was drawing slowly away from the crushed, already set- tling ‘mass which had once been the gallant cruiser Avenger. The water rushed in through a gaping hole in the starboard side. On board white- faced order reigned; boats were launched, life preservers donned men divided into groups to await their turn for the boats. On the bridge a litle group gathered around the cap- tain, who, his grizzled face white un- der 'its bronze, stood directing now this, now that, in a voice whose calm strength save courage to the weakest. Boatload after boatload shot off to ward the vast, waiting hulk close by, and disappeared Jin the heavy dark- ness. And all the whole time the Avenger settled lower and lower in her watery bed.

Much better than for the government to go on with its radical plan of con- trol in a spirit of uncompromising stubbor and for the bankers to seek the continuance of the prevail- ing lax system, would be for the two to confer together upon a plan of mu- tual control more in keeping with sound economical reasoning.
