The first lunges of the combatants knocked the lantern from thé table and it broke on the floor, leaving the room in darkness. Around the room went the murderous young men, each making lunges at the other with the knives inally the men came together and clinched. Silverthorn two straight | jabs with h fe into the abdomen of | his opponent. The blade entered just be- low and to the” left of the navel each time. While the keen blade was cutting Barnes, the stronger of the two, held his victim with his left arm, raised his knife and sunk it into the chest of Silverthorn. This thrust sent Silverthorn to his death. The blade went straight to the heart and entered that organ. Silverthorn fell to the floor and was dead in two minutes. Barnes sank to his knees and fell to a reclining position against the wall. That was the position of the combatants when Rory Silverthorn brought a light. The Heights of Waves.
