'eyes searching the dim outline of my

"And must L he content merely with

"And friendship," her voice its conll

"It would be easier forme to under

"Tour meaning is that true friend'

"Does It not? Can real friendship

"And the fact that such friendship

CHAPTER XXVI.
A Floating Coffin.
The laboring boat rested so low In
the water it was otdy as we were
thrown upward on the crest of a wave
that I could gain any view about
through the pallid tight of the dawn.
It was alt a desolate, restless waste
In the midst of which we tossed, while
above hung masses of dark clouds ob
scuring (he sky. We were hut a hur
tling speck between the gray above
and the gray below.
The tirst thing needing my attention
was the food and water. I crept -Jor-ward
cautiously ami soon had Sain
busily engaged in passing out the varl-
OU8 articles for Inspection. Only es-
senttalB bad been chosen, yet the sujs j
ply seemed ample for the distance 1
believed we would have to cover be
fore attaining land. Hut the nature Of
that unknown coast was so doubtful 1 ,
determined to deal out the provisions
sparingly, saving every crumb pos-
Bible. The men grumbled at the small- j
neSS of the ration, yet munched away
contentedly enough, once convinced
that we all shared alike.
"All right, lads." 1 said cheerfully.
"Now we understand each other and ,
can get at work. We'll divide Into
watches first of all two men aft here
and one at the how. Watkins and 1 1
will take It watch and watch, but ,
there Is enough right now for Oil hands 1
to turn to ami make the craft ship
Shape. Two of you ball out that water
till she's dry, and the others get out
i that extra sail forward and rig up a
Jib. She'll ride easier and make better
progress. with more canvas showing."
The men gradually knocked off work
and lay down, and finally I yielded to ,
Dorothy's pleadings and fell Into u
sound sleep. It seemed ns though X
scarcely lost consciousness, yet I must
have slept for an hour or more, my
head pillowed on her lap. When 1
awoke Schmltt was again al the steep
: lug paddle, and both he nnd Dorothy
! were staring access me out over the
port quarter.
"What Is It?" I asked eagerly, but
before the words were entirely uttered
a hoarse voice forward bawled out ex
citedly: "There you see It; straight nut agin
that cloud edge, it's a full-rigged
' schooner."
I "Ay," boomed another, "an' betolln'
straight cross our course astern."
I reached niy feet, dinning to the
mast to keep erect and, as the boat
; was again thing upward, gained clearly
; the glimpse I sought.
"Ay, you're right, bids!" I exclaimed.
"It's a schooner, headed to clear us by
a hundred fathoms. Port year helm,

off with that red shirt; tie it on the
boat hook and let fly. They .can't
