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,
