CHAPTER XII. (Continued.)
By and by, having eaten of this mir
aculous provender, the oor creature be
enn to understand what had taken place.
The coal workings were abandoned; the
new commandant had probably other
work for his beasts of burden to exe
cute, and an absconder would be safe
here for a few hours at least. But he
must not stay. For him there was no
rest If he thought to escape. It be
hooved him to commence his journey at
once. Here was provision for his needs,
The food before h'ini represented th
rations of six men. Was It not possible
to cross the desert that lay between him
and freedom on such fare? The very
supposition made his heart beat faster.
It surely was possible. Twenty miles a
day was very easy walking. Taking n
piece of stick from the ground, he made
the calculation in the sand. Eighteen
days, and twenty miles a day three
hundred and sixty miles. More than
enough to take him to freedom. It could
be donel With prudence it could be
donel He must be careful and abstcm
ious.
Having come to this resolution, th
next thing was to disencumber himself
of his irons. This was more easily done
than ho expected. He found In the shed
an iron gad, and, with that and a stone
he drove out the rivets.
Before dawn the next morning he had
traveled ten miles, and by husbanding
his food he succeeded, by the night of
the fourth day, in accomplishing forty
more. Foot-soro and weary, he lay in a
thicket, and felt at last that ho was be
yond pursuit. The next day ho ad
vanced more slowly. The path termln
ated in a glade, and at the bottom of
this glade was something that fluttered,
Kufus Dawes pressed forward, and
stumbled over a corpse!
He recognized the number Imprinted
on the coarse cloth at that which had
designated the younger of the two men
who had escaped with Gabbett. He was
standing on the place where a murder
had been commlttedl A murder! and
what else? Thank God, the food he
carried was not yet exhausted! He
turned and fled, looking back fearfully
as ho went.
Crashing through scrub and brake,
torn, bleeding and wild with terror, he
reached a spur of the range, and looked
around him. He raised his eyes, and
right against him, like a long dull sword.
lay the narrow steel-blue reach of the
harbor from which he had escaped. One
darker speck moved on the dark water.
It was the Osprey making for the
Gates. It seemed that he could throw a
stone upon her deck. A faint cry of rage
escaped him. During the last three days
in the bush he must have retraced his
stepsv and returned upon his own track
to the settlement! More than half his
allotted time had passed, and he was not
yet thirty miles from his prison.
, For four days he wandered aimlessly
through the bush. At last, on the twelfth
day from his departure from tho Coal
Head, he found himself at the foot of
Mount Direction, at the head of the
peninsula which makes the western side
of the harbor. His terrible wandering
had but led him to make a complete
circuit of the settlement, and the next
night brought him round the shores of
Birches Inlet to the landing place oppo
site Sarah Island. His stock of pro
visions had been exhausted for two days,
and he was savage with hunger. He no
longer thought of suicide. His dom
inant idea was now to get food. He
would do as many others had done be
fore him give himself up to be flogged
and fed. When he reached the landing
place, however, the guard house was
empty. He looked across at tho island
prison, and saw no sign of life. The
settlement was deserted!
The shock of this discovery almost de
prived him of reason. For days, that
had seemed centuries, he had kept life
in his jaded and lacerated body solely
by the strength of his fierce determlna
tion to reach the settlement; and now
that he had reached It, after a journey
of unparalleled horror, he found It de
serted. He struck himself to see if he
was not dreaming. He refused to be
lieve his eye-sight He shouted, screamed
and waved his tattered garments In tho
air.
At last tho dreadful truth forced Itself
upon him. He retired a few paces, and
then, with a horrible cry of furious des
pair, stumbled forward toward the edge
of the little reef that fringed the shore,
Just as he was about to fling himself
for the second time Into the dark water,
his eyes, sweeping in a last long look
around tho bay, caught sight of a strange
appearance on the left horn of the sea
beach. A thin blue streak, uprising
from behind tbe western arm of the little
inlet, hung in the still air. It was the
smoke of a fire.
The dying wretch felt Inspired with
new hope. God had sent him a direct
Bign from heaven. The tiny column of
bluish vapor seemed to him as glorious
as the pillar of fire that led the Israel
ites. There were yet human beings near
him! And turning his face from the
hungry sea, he tottered, with the last
effort of his failing strength, toward the
blessed token of their presence.
CHAPTER XIII.
Frcre bad gone on a brief fishing ex
pedition. At last a peremptory signal
warned him. It was the sound of a mus
ket fired on board the brig. Mr. Botes
was getting Impatient, and with a scowl
Frere drew up his lines, and ordered the
two soldiers to pull for the vessel.
Tho Osprey yet sat motionless on the
water, and her bare masts gave no sign
of making sail. To tho soldiers, pulling
with their backs to her, the musket-shot
seemed the most ordinary occurrence In
tho world. Suddenly, however, they no
ticed a change of expression in the sullen
face of their commander. Frere, sitting
In the stern-sheets, with his face to the
Osprey, had observed a peculiar appear
ance on her decks. The bulwarks were
every now and then topped by strange
figures, who disappeared as suddenly as
they came, and a faint murmur of voices
floated across the Intervening sea. Pres
ently the report of another musket-shot
echoed among tbe hills, and something
dark fell front the side of the reesel
Into tho water. Frere, with mlnglod
alarm and Indignation, sprung to his
feet, and, shading his eyes with his hand,
looked toward the brig. The soldiers,
resting on their oars, Imitated his ges
ture, and the whale-boat, thus thrown
out of trim, rocked from side to side
dangerously. A moment's anxious pause,
and then another musket-shot, followed
by a woman's shrill scream, explained
all. The prisoners had seized the brlgt
"Give wayl" cried Frcre, pale with rage
and-apprehension, and the soldiers, real
ized at once tho full terror of their po-
ouon, rorcea the heavy whale-boat
through the water as fait as the one
miserable pair of oars could take her.
Mr. Bates, affected by the insidious
innuence or the hour, and lulled Into a
sense of false security, had gone below
to tell his little playmate that she would
soon be on her way. to the Hobart Town
or which she had heard so much, and,
taking advantage of his absence, the mil-
dier not on guard went to the forecastle
to hear the prisoners singing. He found
the ten together. In hlch imml humnr.
While he listened James Lesly, William
Cheshire, William Russen, John Fair
and James Barker slipped to the hatch
way ana got upon deck. Barker reached
the aft-hatchway as the soldier who was
on guard turned to complete his walk,
and passing his arm round hla neck.
pulled him down before he could utter
a cry. In tho confusion of the moment
the man loosed his grasp of the musket
to grapple with his unseen antagonist,
and Fair, snatching up the weapon,
swore to blow out his brains If he raised
a finger. Seeing the sentry thus so
cured, Cheshire leaped down the after
hatchway and passed up the muskets
from the arm-racks to Lesly and Russen.
There were three muskets In addition
to the one taken from the sentry, and
Barker, leaving his nrlsoner In rlmr
of Fair, seized one of them and ran to
tho companion-ladder. Russen. left un
armed by this maneuver, appeared to
know his own duty. He came back to
the forecastle, nnd passing behind the
listening soldier, touched the RlnirpF nn
the shoulder. This was the appointed
signal, and John Rex, suddenly termin
ating his song with a laugh, presented
his fist In the face of the gaping Grimes.
"No noise!" he cried: "the brle's ohm."
and ere Grimes could reply he was seized
ny Liyon and Riley and bound securely.
"Come on, lads!" savs Rex. "and nuns
the prisoner down here. We've got her
time time, I'll go ball!" In obedience to
this order, the now iraejfed sentrv was
flung down tho fore-hatchway, and the
hatch secured. "Stand on the hatch
way. Porter," cries Rex again; "and if
those fellows como ud knock 'em down
with a handspike. Leslv and Rnamn
forward to the companion-ladder! Lyon,
keep a lookout for the boat, and If she
comes too near, fire!"
As he spoke the report of the first
musket rang out Barker had apparent
ly fired up the companion-hatchway.
When Mr. Bates had stone below, hn
found Sylvia curled up on the cushions
of the, stateroom, reading. "Wall
missy?" he said, "we'll soon be on our
way to papa."
Sylvia answered by askinar a finest Inn
altogether foreign to the subject "Mr.
Bates," said she, pushing the hair out
or her bluo eyes, "what's a coracle?"
,!A which?" asked Mr. Baaes.

bending over the book. "What does It
say"
' 'The Ancient Britons.' " said Srlvla.
reading gravely, " 'were little better than
barbarians. They painted thplr hndino
witn woaa that's blue stuff, you know.
Mr. Bates 'and seated In their light cor
acles of skin stretched unon nlondr
wooden frames, must have presented a
wild and savage appearance.' "
"Well," said Bates, "I think It's a car
nage, missy. A sort of pheayton, as
iney can it."
oyivia, uaraiy satisfied, returned to
the book. It was a little, mean-looking
volume a "Child's History of England"
ana arter perusing it a while with
knitted brows, she burst Into a childish
laugh.
'Why, my dear Mr. Bates!" she cried.
waving the history above her head In
triumph, "what a pair of geese we are!
A carriage! Oh, you silly man! It's a
boat!"
"Is it?" said Mr. Bates, in admiration
of the Intelligence of his companion.
Who'd ha' thought that now?" and h
was about to laugh also, when, raising
his eyes, ho saw In the open doorway
the figure of James Barker, with a mus
ket in his hand.
"Hallo! What's this? What do von
do here, sir?"
"Sorry to disturb yer," says the con.
vlct, with a grin, "but you must come
along o' me, Mr. Bates."
Bates, at once comprehending that
some terrible misfortune had occurred,
did not lose his presence of mind. One
of the cushions of tho couch was under
his right hand, and snatching It up, he
uung it across the little cabin full In
tho face of tho escaped prisoner. The
soft mass struck tho man with force
sufficient to blind him for an Instant.
The musket exploded harmlessly In tho
air; and, ere the astonished Barker could
recover his footing, Bates had hurled
him out of the cabin, and, crying "Muti
ny!" locked the cabin-door on the Inside.
The noise brought out Mrs. VIckers from
her berth, and the poor little student of
English history ran into her arms.
"It's a mutiny, ma'am," said Bates.
"Go back to your cabin and lock the
door, Those bloody vlllians have risen
on us! Maybe It ain't so bad as It
looks; I've got my pistols with me, and
Mr. Frere'Il hear the shot anyway.
Mutiny! On deck there!" he cried at the
full pitch of his voice, and his brow
grew damp with dismay when a mocking
laugh from above was the only response.
Thrusting tbe woman and child Into
the state berth, tbe bewildered pilot
cocked a pistol, and snatching a cutlass
from the arm-stand fixed to tbe butt of
the mast which penetrated the cabin,
he burst open the door with his foot and
rushed to tbe companion-ladder, Barker
had retreated to the deck, nnd for an
.Instant ho thought tho way vns clear,
but Lesly nud Russeii thrust him back
with tho muzzles of tho loaded musket.
Ho struck at Russen with tho cutlnss,
missed him, and, seeing tho hopelessness
of the attack, was fain to retreat.
In tho meanwhile, Grimes nml the oth
cr soldlor had loosed themselves from
tholr bonds, and encouraged by tho fir
ing which seemed to thorn a Blgu that
all was not yet lost, mado shift to force
up tho fore-hatch. Forter, whoso cour
ago was none of the fiercest, and who
had been for years given over to that
terror of dlsclpllno which servitude in
duces, made but n feeble attempt at re
sistance, and forcing the handspike from
him, the sentry, Jones, rushed aft to help
the pilot. As Jones reached the waist
Cheshire, a cold-blooded, blue-eyed man
shot him dead. Grimes fell over th
corpse, and Cheshire clubbing tho mus
ket coolly battered his head as he lay,
and then seizing the body of the unfor
tunate Jones In his arms, tossed It Into
the sea. "Porter, you lubber!" he cried
exhausted with the effort to lift th
body, "come and bear a hand with thl
other one!" Porter advanced aghast
but just then another occurrence claimed
the villain's attention, and poor Grimes'
lire was spared for that time.
Rex, inwardly raging at this untxpect
ed resistance on the part of the pilot.
flung himself on the skylight, and tore It
up bodily. As ho did so, Barker, who
had reloaded his musket, fired down Into
the cabin. The ball passed through tho
stateroom door, and, splintering tho
wood, burled Itself close to tho golden
curls of poor little Sylvia. It was their
hair-breadth cscapo which drew from tho
agonized mother thnt shriek which, neal
Ing through the open stern windows, had
roused the soldiers In tho boat
Rex, who by tho virtue of his dandr
ism, yet possessed some abhorrence of
useless crime, imagined that tho cry was
one of pain, and that Barker's bullet had
taken deadly effect. "You'vo killed tho
child, you villain!" ho cried.
"What's the odds?" asked Barker,
sulkily. "She must dio anyway, sooner
or later."
Rex put his head down the skylight,
and called on Bates to surrender; but
Hates only drew his other pistol. "Would
you commit murder?" ho asked, looking
round with desperation In his glance.
No, no," cried soufe of the men. will
Ing to blink the death of poor Jones.
It's no uso making things worse than
they are. Bid him come up and we'll
do him no harm."
"Come up, Mr. Bates." says Rex.
"and I give you my word you shan't bo
Injured."
"Will you set tho major's lady and
child ashore, then?" asked Bates, sturd
Ily facing the scowling brows above him
"Yes."
Bates, hoping against hope for the re
turn of the boat endeavored to jraln
time. "Shut down the skylight, then,"
said he, with the ghost of an authority
In his voice, "until I ask the lady."
This, however, John Rex refused to
do. "You can ask well enough where
you aro; ' he said.
But there was no need for Mr. Bates
to put a question. Tbe door of the state
room opened, and Mrs. VIckers appeared,
trembling, with Sylvia by her side. "Ac
cept, Mr. Bates," she said, "since It
must be so. We should gain nothing by
refusing, We are at their mercy God
help us!"
'Amen to that." says Bates under his
breath; and then, aloud, "We agree!"
"Put your pistols on the table and
come up, then," says Rex, covering the
tables with his musket ns he spoko.
"Nobody shall hurt you."
Mrs. VIckers, pale and sick with ter
ror, pased rapidly under the open sky
light, and prepared to ascend. Sylvia
clung to her mother with one band, and
with the other preFsed closo to her little
bosom the "English nistory."
"Get a shawl, ma'am, or something,'
says Bates, "and a hat for missy."
"Who's to command tho brig now?"
asked undaunted Hates, ns they camo
up.
"I am," says John Rex; "and with
theso bravo fellows I'll take her round
the world."
"What aro you going to do with us?"
asked Bates.
"Leavo you behind. Come, look
alive there! Lower away the jolly
boat. Mrs. VIckers, go down to your
cabin, and get anything you wnnt
am compelled to put you aHhore, but I
have no wish to leavo you without
clothes." Bates listened, In a sort of
dismal admiration, at this courtly con
vict Ho could not huvo spoken llko
