WHAT HAS HAPPENED
BEFORE
Faith Kllcub marries Noll Wins,
middle-aged captain of the whaler.
Sully Sims, and 'sails away with
him. Hoy, Faith's brother, and
Dan'l Toney, who loves Faith, are
among the crew. Noll's strength Is
ailing from age and drink. Seek
ing to discredit Noll in Faith's
eyes, Dan'l causes a quarrel be-
tween Noll and Mauger, one of
t the crew, during which Noll kicks
out Mauger's eye. Faith tells Noll
It was a cowardly thing to do, hut
prevents his apologizing to Mau
ger, saying It would humble Noll
before the men. From that time
on, Noll lives In constant fear of
Mauger's vengeance. One day, af
ter Noll had been harsh with Faith
Dan'l tells her of his love, but she
repulses his advances. Noll's slack
ness has Its reaction upon the crew
and they no longer fear him.
NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY
CHAPTER X.
Noll shoott his head dolefully.
"1 ve been a hard niau in the
past, Mr. nam." he admitted: "oal
1 a not slrme a man again."
And the mate, wuo could not
tmuerstund, cnuckled uneasily, as
li it- ware all a jest. .
"1 will, tor you. sir," he said.
If Dan 1 Tooey had been mate
aud so minded, lie cuutd nave Ket
tiio crew aiert and keen; hut
Dan'l had his own troubles aud lib
did not greatly care wnat came to
Noll anu Noll's eshlp. So, Nolls
hand slackening, tTTe men were left
to jwr. Hum; and the mate, while
lit tor his Job, was not fit lor
Noil s. Mutters went from bad to
worse.
this growing slackness cul
initialed in tragedy. Where mat
ters of lite and death are a part
of every day, satety lies in dis
cipline, and uiscipliue was' lax on
the bally suns, un a uay wnen
the skies were ugly and me wind
was freshening they sighted a lone j
bull whule, aud the mate and Wil
lis Cox lowered for him while tne
ship wonted up-wind toward where
the creature lay. 'i'he boats, row
ing, distanced the bark; the mate
struck the whale, and the creature
linked the boat so that its planks
opened and It sank till it was bare
ly awash and dipped the men in
water to their necks. Silva, the
mate's harpooner, cut the line and
let the whale run free, and a mo
ment later Willis Cox's boat got
fast when Loum pilchpoled his
great harpoon over thirty feet of
water as the whale went down.
The bli bull began to run head
long, and the men In Willis's boat
balanced on the sides for a "Nan-
fJtrrr-t sleigh-ride." The whalo ran
straight away, so tirelessly that
they could not haul up on the line
The weather thickened behind
and hid the Sally as she stopped to
nick up the mate and his wrecked
boat. Then a squall struck, and
night came swiftly down.
When Willis saw it was hope
loss to think of killing the whale,
he cut. It was then lull dark and
blowing. Some rain fell, but the
flying spume that the wind clipped
from the wave-tops kept the boat
a nuarter full of s.5. water, no
muiter how desperately they
tialled. Toward midnight, the
thirsty men wished to drink.
A whale-boat Is always pro
visioiled against the emergency of
being cast adrift. Biscuits and
water are stored in the lantern-
keg, with matches and whatever
else may be needful. The water is
-4 replenished now and then, that it
may be fresh.
Hut when Willis opened the Ian
torn keg he found Hie water half
gone, and so urnckir?i that it was
unlit to drink, a condition directly
to he attributed to the weakening
of discipline aboard the Sally. It
was a serious matter, as they know
all too well when the next day
dawned bright and hot, with the
bark nowhere to be seen. Their
thirst increased tormentingly, and
on the third day, when the search
In? Sally found tlfem, two men
were dead in the boat and the
other four were in little better
case.
Willis had worked his boat
, toward an island northwest of the
position where ho lost the Sally;
Dan'l Tobey had guessed what
Willis would do and had per
suaded Noll to cruise that way.
When they picked up the half-dead
men, Noll decided to touch at the
island for food and fresh water,
and they raised it in midmornlng
of the second day.
hey had seen otheY lands since
the cruise began, but these other
lands had been rocky and Inhos
pitable the harsh tops, for the
most part, of mountains that rose
from the depths to break the sur
face, of. the sea. Men dwelt on
them, clinging like goats In the
crannies of the rocks, but they
were not inviting. 4
This Island wai"ilfferent. Whan
Faith, coming on deck at the cry,
saw it, .blue-green against the hori
zon; she caught her breath at the
beauty of it, and while the Sally
worked closer, she watched with
wide eyes and leaping pulses. She
felt vaguely, that it was the portal
or a new world; It was lovely,
inviting, pleasant. She was sud
denly sick of the harsh salt of the
sea, sick of the stinking ship. She
wanted the soft earth beneath her
feet, trees above her head, flowers
within reach of her hand.
This island was fair and smiling;
it seemed to promise her all the
things she most desired. She
sought Noll Wins.
"Are you going ashore, Noll?"
she asked.
He was - In one of his slothful
rhoods, half asleep in the after
cabin, and he shook his great head.
"No. Mates will get what we
need. We'll be away by night."
She hesitated.
"1 want to -go ashore,"' she
said. "Won't you go with me?"
"You can go," he agreed readily
enough. "Nobody there but some
black men and maybe a few
whites on the beach. Nothing to
see."
"There's land," she told him.
smiling; "and trees and flowers.
Do come!" , .
"You go along. I'm tired to
day."
d like it so much more If you
came with me!
He frowned at her, Impatient at
her insistence.
'Stop the talk." he told her
harshly. "I'm not going. , Go, If
you want to,, but be still about It.
Let a man rest. 1m tired, Faith.
I'm getting old."
"You ought to look after getting
the stuff for the ship.' she re
minded him. "After all, you are
responsible for her."
"Mr. Ham will do that better
than me," he said. "Go along."
She, went out. reluctantly, and
sought fhe mate. His boat and
James Tibhels were to ,go ashore,
leaving Dan 1 In charge of the ship.
Ho grinned , cheerfully at Faith's
request, and bade his - men rig a
stool to lower her into the boat.
Faith protested laughingly.
"I can jump down, as well as a
man," she said, and he nodded as
sent and forgot her.
She was in trie boat when they
put off presently. She sat astern,
while Mr. Ham stood above her.
his legs spread to steady himself
against, the movement of the boat,
ills weight on the long steering-oar
that he always preferred to the
tiller. The Sally had dropped an
chor a little offshore, and canoes
were already spinning out to meet
her.
The island spread before them,
green and sparkling in the sttn;
and the white beach shone like
silver. It was inore than a coral
Island. There were two' hills a
mile or so inland; and the white
washed huts of a considerable vil
lage shone against the trees. The
canoes met , them, swirled aboil!
them; the black folk shouted and
clamored and stared. Mr. Ham
waved to them; talked to them In a
queer and outlandish mixture of
'tongues; bade them go on td the
Sally. . , . .
"Mr, Tobey'U buy what they've
Ml." ho told Faith, as the whale
boat drove ahead for the shoro.
James Tlcacl's boat was well
astern of them, drageing a raft of
floating casks which would be
filled with water and towed out to
the Sally. He was still fat from
shore when. they drove up on the
beach; and the men jumped out In
the shallow water and dragged the
boat higher, so that Faith, picking
her way over Lhe thwarts, could
step ashore dry-shod from the bow.
Her feet left scarce a mark Upon
the harl, whltb sand.
Mr. Ham said to her:
"You come iip to the trees; you
can be cfcol there while we're at
our business."
But Faith shook her head.
"I'm going to take a walk," she
said. "I want to get Into the
woods. Ho long will you be
here?"
He hesitated dubiously.
"Guess It's all right If you do."
he decided. "The natives are
friendly. Most of 'em talk English
In a way. Go ahead."
"How long have I?" Faith asked
again.
He said they would be ashore an
hoi", pcrhans more.
"No matter, anyway," he told
her. "Stay long as you like. Do
you want I 3hould send a man with
you?"
Knlth told him she was not
afraid- He grinned. She turned
southward along the beach, away
from the huddled village. The
smooth sand was so firm that It
Jarred her feet, and she moved up
tnto the shade of the trees, and
followed them for a space, eyes
probing Into the tangle beyond
them, lips smiling,, tevery sense
drinking in the smells of the laud
When she came to a path that led
into the junglelike undergrowth.
she hesitated, then turned in.
Within twenty steps the bush
closed about her, shutting away all
sight of the sea. For a little while
che could hear the long rollers
pounding on the beach; then that
sound, too, became Indistinct and
dim. It was drowned in the thou
sand tiny noises all aboiu her
bird-notes, cracking of twigs,
stirring of furry things. Once a
little creature cf a sort she had
ever seen "before, yet not unlike
the familiar and universal rabbit,
hopped out on her path In a flurry
of excitement.
She heard presently another
sound ahead of her a sound of
running, falilhg water, and when
she pressed on eagerly, she came
out upon tlie bank of a clear
stream thai dropped In bright cas
cades from one deep, cool pool td
another. She guenced this stream
must boino down between the hills
she had seen from tho ship. It was
What she had unwittingly longed
for durlns the months aboard the
Sally. It was cool and clear and
gay and chuckling; the sea was ai
ways so turbulent and harsh.
She followed the path that ran
up the northern bank of the
stream, and each new pool seemed
more Inviting than the "last. She
wanted to wade into them, to feel
the water on her shoulders and
her throat and her arms. Her
smooth skin had revolted endlessly
against the bite of the salt water
in which shu bathed aboard the
Sally; It yearned for this cool,
crystal flood.
She p.u aside her desire.
