Coleman might take you over in his big boat if you're willing to pay hia price. That's him with the blue cap down to the end of the wharf.’ Morton and the woman approached the man designated as Capt. Cole- man, while Hook, from the shelter of his lumber pile, watched from afar their conversation. It evidently re- sulted satisfactorily to all concerned, for Coleman came hurrying up to the pier “Just run over to Jerry's place, will you, Bill,” he called to the watchman, “and see if you can find my two firemen, Hennessy and Dil- jon? You'll probably find them in the back room playing cards. ‘Tell them to hustle right down to the boat, as we're leaving right away for the islands.” “So Mister Morton and his friends is goin’ to the islands too, eh?" said Hook to himself. “I think I'll jeat slip aboard, unbeknownst to ‘em, and go along. I'd like damned well to put a spoke in the wheeel of that son of a seacook Morton.” Morton and his companions had "| strolled to the far end of tho pier, where they stood deep In conversa- tion; Capt. Coleman was busy get- ting supplies from the storehouse; the watchman had gone across the street to get the cre so that no one saw the one armed sailor when he climbed aboard the Sea Hawk and disappsared down the companionway. Looking about for a place in which to conceal himself, Hook discovered, at the forward end of the small cabin a low dam which ga ace cess to a sort of cubbyhole or locke which was evidently used for stor- ing cushions, tarpaulins and other articles not in frequent use. Squeezing himself with consider- able difficulty through the narrow opening, he closed the door behind him. Stretching himself upon a divan, which he improvised from some blankets and tarpaulins, he took a long puli at a flat black bot- tle which he produced from his bocke:, sliced off a generous portion of plug and stuffed it into his cheek, and, with a sigh of contentment, closed bis eyes, o e © @ © ee © © No one had been more astonished than Morton and Olga at the myste- rious disappearance of the books from the Delmar study, and their as- tonishment was increased when they Ww the mystification of Hope and Cleo. But Olga did not believe in taking anything for granted. No sooner did she reach her apartment in the Portola Arms than, spite the jateness of the hour, she sent for Sextus and related to him the excit- ing nts of the evening. “I'm pret- well vonvinced,” she concluded, “that neither Hope nor the Burke girl have any more knowledge of what has become of those books than I have, but I don’t wish to take any chan I want you to watch them closely for the next few days, Sextus, and to keep mei -rmed of anything w 4 seems su. sus.

When, bruised, battered and aching in every limb from bis encoun- ter with Hope, he reached bis rooms, almost the first thing be did was to consult the copy of the list which Satsuma had obtained from Dawson, The next name, he found, was that of Artbur Fitamaurice and his ad- dress was given as the Commercial Hotel. Calling up the hostelry, he learned that Mr. Fitzmaurice had departed. His forwarding address, eo the night clerk informed him, was in care of the local office uf the United States Coast Survey. The following morn. ing Mahlin called at the coast sur- vey offices, only to learn that Fita- maurice was at work chartering the Fasal.ons group and tbat it was un- certain when he would return. It was well into the afternoon, therefore, be- fore he and Satsuma started for the islands in a launch which the latter had hired from a fellow countryman living on the Oakland sid Before leaving Mablin took the precaution of calling up Hope's hotel. “Lieutenant Hove will not be back home unui to-night,” the telephone giri informed him. “He bas gone to the Farallons.” As Mablin bung up the receiver a grim smile fitted across his saturnine face. His surmises had proved cor- rect. Hope had acted as be had an- ticipated, There were now three craft racing toward the same goal. Weill in the lead was the small launch containing Hope and Cleo, Bearing down on a more northerly course was the power boat hired by Mahlin and Satsum while somewhere astern pounded the larger craft bearing Morton, Olga and Seatus, Doubtless all three of t skippers would have exercised more caution than they did could they have seen the notices which were being displayed that afternoon on the bulle- tin boards of the various shipping of- fices and other places where seafaring folk congregate: WARNING!

The millpond caimness which pre- vailed in the inner harbor proved to be no criterion of the weather with- out, for in the bay a brisk breeze was blowing and outside the Gate the breeze turned into a gale. In fact, so heavy a sea was running that cark- ness was descending when Morrissey ran his launch under the Ice of the lighthouse on Southeast Island and Hope and Cleo clambered ashore. {n response to their whistle a gray- bearded man, tail and angular, ap- peared in the doorway of the small, whitewashed building which adjoined the lighthouse. “That's the keeper, Capt. Falr- * maid Morrissey. “You may find him a bit gruff at first, sir, but 1 guess I'd be gruff too if f had to spend my life op a rock like this.” “I am Lieut. Hope of the navy,” Hope introduced himself, “I am loking for a man named Fitzmaurice of the Coast Survey, 1 understand that he is over here charting the isl- ands.” “Mr, Fitzmaurice left this morning for Middle Island,” was the answer. “The Government has a radio station there and he went over to send a message to Frisco, I reckon he likes their food better than he does mine, anyway.” UHow far ie it across to Middle Island?” The Seventh THE SECRET OF About ait mil “Well,” aaid Hope, turning to Cleo, “the only thing for ua to do, it seemea, ie to keep on to the other stand.” ‘I'm none of my business,” inter- rupted the keeper, “but you'll be tak- ing » big chance if you try to oro to Middio Ialand to-nignt. it's « dan- geroun channel, even in the day time, and it'll be utes, ‘There nea running @l- ready and the wind's rising.” “What do you think about it, Mor- J the boatman. ‘m mame for it, sir, If you and the don't mind getting @ bit wet, lady was the answer, “And how about you, Cleo?” “Oh, 1 would much ra Jarvis,” she answered, sleep to-night if I felt that those books wero only six miles away.

But it was too late to turn back, To attempt to go about In the sea that was now running was but to invite disaster, Their only hope of safety lay in keeping the boat bow- on to the mountain-high waves which were roaring down upon them. Small wonder then that Hope and Morrissey, their every nerve strained to the tasis of keeping the from being swamped, failed to notice the other imunch which ran under the lee of t lighthouse ely ten ininutes a their departure, Out of it scrambl Mablin and Satsuma.

Without {t, on such a night as this, they wouldn't have a chance in million.” “Well, I'm not going to risk it,” said Mahlin,’ "That's certain, But I'm afraid you'll have to put us up for the night.
