TrriXFn bt a mybtehiocs toe ox siioue COKE remained on the bridge un til I(Uik afler Iris had eu aud admired the cluster of stars which old time uuvigntorg usi-il to regard with nwe. When shafts of white lljjht hejran to taper penuou-lIUe In the eastern sky the pirl went Imck to her cabin. Contrary to Ilozii-i-'g expec tation. Coke did unt attempt to draw from him any account of their conver sation prior to the inexplicable mishap to tiie wheel. Ue exauiiued a couple of charts, made a slight 11 Iteration in the course and at 4 o'clock took charge of the bridge. "Just 'ave a look around now while things is quiet." he said, nodding to " llozier eonlideutially. "I'll tell you wot I fancy. A rat drassed h bit of bone into n near oox lf f,le ,.lMiji' U liadiy iv'ivn anywhere, pet the car-pentei- i" see to It. 1 do 'ate to 'uve a leellu thai the wheel can let you dowu.

" llozier found a pun wed piece of bain bone lying in tbe exact positiou antici pated by Coke. The carpenter busied himself with sawing and liatnmermg during the whole of the next two days, for the Andromeda revealed many k1's hi ber woodwork, but the escapade of an er rant ham bone was utterly eclipsed by a new sensation. At daybreak one morning every drop of water in the vessels tanks suddenly assumed a rich blood red tint. This utiuerviug discovery was made by the cook, who was horrified to see a ruby stream pouring into the earliest kettle. Think ing that an iron pipe bad become oxi dised with startling rapidity, he tried another tap Finally there could be no blinking tin fact that by some un canny means die whole of the fresh waier on l' . 'i liad acquired the color If not the t Me t a thin burgundy. Cuke was summoned Hastily. No blesse ohliue. being captain, be val iantly essayed the task of sampling this stnniue beverage. "It iilti'i p'ison." he announcad. aux ins fsuspiciuMsiy at the little group of anxious la eil men who awaited bis vmniii') "It sartlnly ain't p'ison. but it's wuss inn any teetotal brow I've tackled In a:i me born days. 'Ere, Waits, j on lii nw the tuug of every kind o' lil;k(; uvea sup." "Not me"' viiil Watts. "I don't like the look i t n First time I've ever seen ivi i:'; n tap For the rest of this trip ' si i -ii to bottled beer or something wl.li a label." "It smells like an Infusion of per manganate of potash," volunteered llo zier "lines It?" growled Coke, who seem ed to be greatly annoyed. "Wot a pity It nln't an Infusion of whisky on' pot ash!" n-iiil lie glared vindictively at Watts -Koine ijjit 'as bin playin' a trick on us. that's wot it is some blank soaker 'on don't give a hooraw in hudes for tea an' coffee an' cocoa, but wants a toulo. Stoonrd!" "Yes, sir," said the mess room attend ant "Portion out all the soda water in the lockers mi' whack it ou the table, every meal till it gives out. See that nobody puts away uiore'u 'is proper allowance too. I'm not goin' to cry hush buby w'.en the Andromeda gets this sort of kid's dodge worked off on 'er." "If "i! : alli'edin' to me." put in the Incensed "chief," whose tp.,r,.i i rose on this direct provocation, "i tvm 1 to tell you now" "Dues the cap lit?" sneered Coke. "No. it doesn't. 1 never 'card of tl: kind' of potash in me life. L'ye tiilv. me for a chemist's shop?" "Never 'card of il!" cried the incen i ed skipper, who had obviously made up his mind us to the person responsi ble for the outrage. "There's 'arf a do.en oases uf it in the after hold or tUuro was w'eu we put the 'atches on." "Even if some of tlie cases were bro ken, sir, thu touluiits could not rea !i the taaks," said Ilo.iur. But the com . wander's wrat ii could not be ap peased. "Get this stuIT pumped out mi' 'ave tlie t a u k s scoured. We'll put Into Fern a u do l-.v" . A &-s, 'dyU ) I -Noronua an reuu K there. It's ou'y a guess the othi-r liquor on board '11 last till we niakt the island." I away in the direc tion of the chart room. llozier foiiud him there lafur oorlinr over V i 1 I mm r l3u a "BOES TIIE CAP MT?" B c,ml., of For. snebiikd cokk. nnnd Noronha. Iris on hearing the steward's version of the affair come to the bridge for further enlightenment, but Coke mere ly Uld Mar that the 'island was a Lta-' SNrtiea, so she eouid a- .blo to her uutfla i . an i go asnorer- she nsketf. I dunuo. We'll see. It's a convict settlement f..r the Brands, an' they're mighty partie'lnr about lettin' people laud, but they'll 'nrdly object to a nice yoimg ladj like you 'avin a peep at 'em." As his. tone was unusually gruff, not to ay. Jeering, she resolved to find an oponunity of seeking Ho ller's ndviee ou the cablegram prob lem. I5ut the portent of the blood red water was not to be disregarded. Nev er was Delphic oracle better served by nature. The Andromeda began to roll ominously. Masses of black cloud climbed over the southern horizon. At midday the ship was driving through a heavy sea. As the day wore the weather became even more threatening.' A sky and ocean that had striven during three-weeks to produce in splendid rivalry blends of sapphire blue and emerald green and teuderest pink were now draped In a shroud of gray mist. With Increasing frequency and venom vaulting seas curled over the bows and sent stinging showers of spray against the canvas shield of the bridge. Instead of the natty w,hite drill uniform pnd canvas shoes of the tropics the ship's officers donned oilskins, sou'westors and sea boots. Torrents swept the decks, aud an occasional giant amoug waves smote the hull with a thunderous blow under which every rivet rattled and every plank creaked. Despite these drawbacks the Andromeda wormed her way south. She behaved like the stanch old sea prowler that she was. Iris, of course, thought that she was experiencing the storm of a century. Badly seared at first, she regained some stock of courage when Ilozler came twice to her cabin, pounded on the door and shouted to her such news as he thought "Would take her mind off the outer furies. The first time be announced that they were Just "crossing the line," and the girl smiled at the thought that Neptune's chosen lair was uncommonly like the English channel at Its' worst. On the second occasion her visitor brought the cheering news that they would br under the lee of Fernando Noronha early next morning! Bho had suflicieni sea lore to uuderstnud that this Im plied shelter from wind and wave, bill llozier omitted to tdl her that thi only practicable roadstead In the is land, being ou the weather side, would be rendered unsafe by the present ad verse combination of the elements. lr fact, Coke had already called Watts and llozier Into council, aud they had ngreed with him that the wiser plan would be to bear lu toward the Island from the east and anchor in smooth water as close to fcovth point as the lead would permit. As for Iris" wild foreboding that the ship was intended to be lost, Philip did not give It other thau a passing thought. Coke was navigating the An droiiiedii with exceeding care and no little skill, lie was a first rate prac tical sailor, and it was au education to the younger mau to watch his han dling of the vessel throughout the worst part of the blow. About mid night the weather moderated. It im proved steadily until a troubled dawn heralded some fitful gleams of the sun. I$y that time the magnificent peak of Fernando Noronha was plain ly visible. Coke came to the bridge and set a new course, almost due west. Soon it was possible to distinguish the full extent of the coast line. Houses appeared and trees and greeu oases of cultivation. There was a strong current setting from tlie southeast, and the dying gale left its aftermath in a long swell, but the Andromeda rolled on with ever increasing comfort. Even Iris was tempted forth by the sunshine. Coke Was not ou the bridge at the moment. Mr. Watts was taking the watch. llozier was on deck forward. Suddenly the captain appeared. He greeted Iris with a genial nod. Ah. there you are!" he cried. "Not seen you since this time yesterday. Sorry, but there'll be no goln' ashore today. We're on the wrong side of the island, on' it 'ud toss you a bit if you was to try an' land in eether of he boats. Take 'er in easy now, Mr. Watts. That's our anchorage over there." And he pointed to the mouth of a narrow channel between South point uud the Isle dos Fregates, the hit ter a tiny islet that almost blocks' the entrance to a shallow bay into which rims a rivulet of good but slightly brackh-ih water. The Hhip slowed perceptibly, and llozier busied himself with the lead which a sailor was swinging on the starboard side from the small plat form of the accommodation ladder Iris did not know what was said, but the queer figures repented to Coke seemed to be satisfactory. Headland, and hills crept nearer. The rocky arms of the island closed iu on them. A faint scent as of sweet grasses reached them from the shore. Iris cou:d see several people, nearly all of them men In uniform, hurrying about with tin air of excitement that betok ened the unusual. Perhaps a steamer's advent on tlie south side of the island was a novelty. Now they were in a fairly smooth roadstead. The remnants of the gale were shouldered away from the ship by the towering cliff that jutted out ou the left of the bay. The cr,ew were mostly occupied iu clearing blocks and tackle and swinging two lifeboats out ward ou their davks. "All ready forrard?" roared Coke, llozier ran to the forecastle. He found tlie carpenter there, standing by the windlass brake. ' "All ready, sir!" he cried. Coke nodded to him. "tJive her thirty-Hve," he said, mean ing thereby that the anchor should be allowed thirty-live fathoms of chain. TW turhuiuut currant was surging aeries the hows with tlie speed of a ujlll race, so Cuke brought tho vessel rouna nntn sne ay TiroaCsTSe itn tne land and beadril straight against the set of the stream. It was his intent to d.op anchor while in that position and help any undue strain on the cable by an occasional turn of the propeller. "Keep ber there r he said, half turn ing to the man at tbe mheeL He changed the indicator from "full speed" to "slow ahead." In a few sec onds tbe anchor chain would have rat tled through the hawse bole when something happened that was incom prehensible, stupefying something ut terly remote aud strange from the ways of civilized men. The Andromeda quivered under a tremendous buffet. There came a crash of rending iron and an instant stop page of tlie engines. Almost merging Into the noise of the blow came loud report from the land, but that in its turn was drowned by the hiss of steam from the exhaust. Coke appeared to be dumfounded for an instant Recovering himself, he ran to tlie starboard side, leaned over, looked down at a torn plate that showed its Jagged edges Just above the water line and then lifted a bias ing face toward a point halfway up the neighboring cliff, where a haze lay like a veil of gauze ou tbe weather scam-8 rocks. "You blasted pirates!" be yelled, rais ing both clinched fists at the bidden "TOU BLASTED PIRATES !" HB YELLED. battery which had fired a twelve pound shell Into the doomed ship. The Andromeda herself seemed to recognize that she was stricken unto death. She fell away before the cur rent with the aimless drift of a log. "Let go!" bellowed Coke, "with fren zied pantomime of action to Uozier. It was too late. Before the lever con trolling the steam windlass that re leased the anchor could be shoved over another shell plunged through the thin Iron plates iu the bows, smashing a i tea in pipe and jamming the hawser gear by its impact. The missile burst with a terrific report. A sailor was knocked overboard, the carpenter was killed outright, two other men were seriously wounded, and Uozier receiv ed a blow on the forehead from a fly ing scrap of metal that stretched him on the deck. The gunners on shore bad not allow ed for the drifting of the ship. That second shell was meant to demolish the chart house and clear the' bridge of its occupants. Striking high and for ward, It had robbed tbe Andromeda of her last chance. iTO BE COHTIHTTBD. j SUMMONS.
