CHAPTER IX. Henry Ford and the Churoh. ONCE preached a sermon for Henry Ford's special benefit. I told him 1 was going to do so and asked him to be present and hear tt, He came. He listened very atten- tively. He went away. It was a good sermon, if T do say {t myself, but so far as I was ever able to ace it never feased him. It came about In thin way: Mr. and Mrs. Ford were members of my parish. I was building a new church, @ gothic stfucture, that was costing considerable money. The building had been under way for some time and Mr. Ford had made no con- tribution toward the cost of its oon- struction, This somewhat nettled cer- tain of my parish ‘What in the mats ter with your friend Mr. Ford, that he oes not help us out on this matter? Every one is giving up to the limit, and he, tho richest man in the parish, has done nothing.” This question and q ——$————SS statement of fact were put up to mo 3 . Ube 5 ma @ good many times. Finally, two members of my vestry. against my advice, decided to call on Mr. Ford and solicit a subscription to the building fund.

HEN the whaler Good Luck, out of New Bedford, was wrecked at the Fire Mountain, a volcanic island in the North Pacific, in 1889, one of the two survivors was JOHN WINTERS, who wrote down in his log of the finding of vast quantities of ambergris, the substance so valuable because of the demand for it as a perfume base, and of the storing of the precious stuff in one of the innumerable caves in the island. His log goes on to tell of the strange fate ol his companion, who believed that the weird noise coming out of a myste- rious hole in the island was the voice of a man he had murdered calling him and, finally crazed, had jumped into the pit. ‘Vinters, according to the log, fearing the same fate for himself, abandoned the island in a small boat tle jotted down the position of the cave where the ambergris was stored in code on a piece of skin and inserted it in the binding of his log book. Demented, he 1s picked up and brought to Honolulu, There he dies, leaving his log, with the cipher message of such tremendous value, in the hands of the keeper of a Chinese resort. In this place, many years later, LITTLE BILLY CORCORAN, hunchback steward of the brig Cohasset recovering from a spree, accidently finds the log among the Chinaman’s col- lection of odds and ends He judges from the description that the Fire Moun- tain, with its many caves and queer lava formations, including one that looks like an elephant’s head, is the one which gave refuge not long before to the Cohasset’s crew when chased by a Russian gunboat for violating the rule against trading for seal skins with the Siberian natives. SQUARE JIM DABNEY is the blind captain of the Cohasset. His at- tractive granddaughter, RUTH LE MOYNE is mate of the brig. They are told of the log and the hunchback’s opinion that their island was the one where the great store ‘of ambergris was hidden, They are all ifthe dark as to the location of the cave, but Ruth suddenly discovers the skin within the binding and the following cipher message is revealed: . 433445442361533146121611113236243361 5311535231 13344623151 1146464 344113212334 ene dig BIA AOLSL SL 196209 9944244611 31421 4463442442301 23442331 4251441 6 S115. DR. ICHI, a Japanese, had been shipped as cook by the Cohasset and feigning almost complete ignorance of English, is disregarded as the Cohas- set's officers talk over the discovery. Ichi steals the cipher and in San Fran- cisco becomes associated with ee BOB CAREW, a splendid looking but unscrupulous sea captain. employs JOSIAH SMATT, a sharp lawyer, to decipher the message. And this brings us to MARTIN BLAKE, our hero, who, conveying the decoded message and the latitude and longitude of Fire Mountain to Carew at the command of Smatt his employer, meets Billy. Fergning intoxication, Billy substitutes blank sheets of paper for the matter in Martin's pocket. The substitution, when it is revealed to Carew at the Black Cruiser saloon, results in Martin's being set upon by Carew’s underlings and imprisoned in a room. Carew’'s gang also seize and imprison Ruth, but Little Billy and THE BOSUN, Thomas Henry, his devotea and gigantic friend, r-scue both the girl and young Blake. As they flee a pistol battle follows in which Martin. shoots SPULVEDO, keeper of the dive, and is shot himself by Carew. Martins wound 1s not serious and he isewelcomed as a partner in the Cohasset’s enter- prise—the salvage of the ambergris The brig is well on her way out of San Francisco when Ruth, the hunchback and Dabney tell him the story Partly by reading Poe’s “Gold Bug” Little Billy says he solved the cipher ai.u shows Martin the key. As they sailed northward toward their goal, hoping to reacle it ahead of Carew (who is in love with Ruth), Martin, overwhelmed by her beauty and uae the influence of a starry night, kisses her. He too has fallen under her spel The Cohasset reaches Fire Mountain in such a fog that Dabney decides not to attempt to land and search for the ambergris until it clears. MACLEAN, a superstitious member of the crew, telis Martin that some- thing evil is to happen to Little Billy, He curses the gloomy mountain, which he calls the “De'il’s Kirk That night. he awakens Martin to tell him that the hunchback has disappeared. As he and Martin search the fog-enyeloped deck, he later hears Mclean call for aid in a curiously strangled voice and then hears the sound of a falling body . Carew and his Japanese, who reached the island secretly, board the brig and, after a fight, imprison Martin and the Bosun in the lazaret. They free them- sleves from their shackles The boatswain tells Martin of a door cut through from the lazaret to the hold forward and they decide to appear stil] shackled should any one come into their prison and to wait until a good opportunity comes before renew- ing the battle. The boatswain tells Martin that Carew’s ship, the Dawn, had been wrecked. He says that when he was brought into the lazaret Charley Bo Yip, the Coliasset’s Chinese cook, had winked at him, Toht comes down and takes Martin before Carew. AREW accompanted his remark)ers, at Carew’s command, reached with a hateful glance townrd|out and touched Martin's neck. Martin, a glance that was| ‘You beasts!
