Like an ordinary hall, he occasionally got into n hole where it looked lis if he would remain mid rot. But he was always kicked out and recommenced his bounding and rolling both over the land and the sea. In Peking he found nn old, wheezy steamer of about 200 tons burden that had been worn out tramping over the waters, and he concluded to buy her.

Charlie, like most China men, seemed very slupld. but also, like his coiint.ymen. was very sly. As for the engineer, he was as obstinate ns Kn 'IIj-Iiiiicii usually are and as hard to kill.

Qulle probably lliey were going to Ja pan, but tills doesn't matter, for be fore reaching the coast of Korea Som ers got a kl k w hii h sent him In an other direction, About noon, when Itlll was at the wheel - Indeed. Hill was always at the wheel, ami Tom was always at the engine- he heard something snap Ite low ami a llzzlug of sleam. 1'p came 'l oin, showed his fai l- In the companion way and said that one of the small Ktcani pipes lunl burst. .Meanw hile the propeller censed to turn, and tlie boat, the Siren. I.iy helpless. Why Kill had given her tli.it name is beyond compre hension, for she was tlie ugliest craft in 'hi nose waters. Leaving tne tiller. Pill went below with ttie engineer, and the two stood gaping rt the exploded pipe, wonder ing how ilu-y were going to repair it without tools or machinery. Poll had coir;iaiihiicd himself on being able to buy i !ie S i i'u without a cent of money, lull now s.iw how, after all. tin- seller had got the belter of him. However. Tom limited through a box of odds and ends and found a bit of pipe that he thought In' could put III In place of the exploded one. and there was a soldering Jet aboard. Hut It was necessary to put out the tires in the furnace before anything could lie done. Hill concluded to "dump" the furnace-, since it would be easier to lit lit a new tire If freed from the re mains of the old one. So they follow ed tills plan, and Tom began work on replacing the broken pipe. Tom had been working some time. Hill had gone Into the furnace, which laid cooled sii'liclcntty to admit him to llinke an Inspection. The Shell was drifting. Suddenly Charlie came run ning down Into the furnace room, with hU eyes standing out of his face and hi complex ion tlie color of cinders. Itlll looked out through the open fur nace door. "Cap'n." gasped Chaille. "pltates!" "What 7" "Pllates!" "Cilt out o' tills!" growled Tom. "We're busy " Charlie wrung tils hands and contin ued to cry "Pllates:" "I wonder If he doesn't mean pirates'-" cried Hill. "Yes." cried Charlie; "pllates!" Hill mining out of the furnace box nml. followed more slowly by Tom and Charlie, ran up on deck. There, sev eral miles away, was a small craft of n Clil"ese rut priming straight for the Slreu. "How do you know she's a pirate?" asked Hill of Charlie. Charlie could not speak enough Eng lish to make a reply, and even if he could have replied he couldn't have ex plained v lint be knew simply by Intui tion or experience. So many holes had Hill been kicked into that he had become accustomed as soon as he rolled into one to set his thinking apparatus to work to discover how to get out. No sooner was he con vinced that Charlie was right than he got down below the gunwaje to his eyes and told the others to do the same. "There's no use In their learning how many of us there are. what is our con dition or anything else we can help their knowing till they reach us." i The three men watched the tip-! proiicliing craft, one of them, and one only. Hill, revolving In Ids brain differ ent plans for escape. j "There's only one hope for us," he said presently. "If we can bide they may think the boat deserted. What they'll do then nobody knows. We'll have to take what comes. Perhaps. j not llnding anything of value aboard, j they'll go away." ; '"hie!" exclaimed Tom. "Where i hare we goiu' to 'Ide?" "There's only one place the furnace. If they don't look In there we're all right. If they do it's all up witli us." All three, stooping as they went, shuflled down the companioiiwny to the furnace. Charlie pulled open the door and went, in first. Torn and Bill stood each waiting for the other. It was not politeness that caused Due to defer to the other, but pride.

After exploring tin- .-r pan of Hie boat they came ilo'i n jui,, the engine room. Only Charlie uiclcr-tooil what they said, and the mv-rnl uci i,,, (, H him. When the hoarders had discussed the mailer of finding the Siren deserted they all ran upstair- together. After awhile a H"ii;el was heard Unit deslrojed hope- the sound of an auger boring. The pirate" were scuttling the ship. Whoever was doiii; the Job was some time about It. ;i'.iilii;i,l,v the sounds above ceased, and it was evident that Uiost of the pirates h id go-ie. leaving tjie man belo.w to liiu.-h the scuttling All became still except the sound of tho lairing. "Charlie!" wild Hill "What?" "Ynii buwl out I hat one of your heathen gods Is In here and if tlie bloke doesn't light out he'll be struck dead." Chacle did as required. The man ad dressed, as soon as he heard n voice coming f:ot:i the bowels of the ship, ran up' tails. There he talked excitedly with another mm. and the two came part way down to the furnace room and listened. Hill ordered Charlie to repeat what he had said, and Charlie told the listeners that In was the most ferocious of the Chinese gods and If they didn't let him out he would visit them ii ml theirs with tire and sword even to the tenth generation. This pro duced the effect doirrd. and the door was opened. Hill sprang out and seized one of the Chinamen, while Tom fol lowed the other nearly to the deck. I!olh Were secured and boun 1. The danger now was that the pirates would get tired waiting for the men they had left for the scuttling and return. The auger had been left in the hole it had been making, and there was nothing to feir from that. Bill went up the companion way. keeping out of sight, to reconnolter. The first thing lie saw was a boat the pirates had left for the men who Were to scuttle the i.,icr. tlie second was the pirate craft moving away under full sail, and the third was a Chinese gov ernment police boat chasing her. Hill shouted Hie cood news to Tom and Charlie, w ho runic running up the compaiilonw ay to see for themselves. Their narrow escape from drowning locked in the fnrtalce room was turned to exhilaration at watching the police ioat chase the pirates. The former hav ing nothing but sails to propel her and the latter having steam, the chase was a short one. The police quickly over hauled the outlaws, and as soon as this was done the men on the Siren got out a tattered t'nited States Hag and hoisted It. union dow n, as a signal of distress, whereupon the police boat came up alongside. Tlie fcwn pirates iiltpanl the Siren were put on the police boat, and the disabled boat was taken in tow. Then all started for Peking. Benching that city, the outlaws were turned over to the proper authorities, and on the day of their execution the three men who had been locked up In the furnace room went to see the job done. Somers In narrating the adventure says that It was the worst bole fate ever kicked him Into, and he doesn't see how tliere can tie n worse one. When he started from Peking irraln he had found an opportunity to sell the Siren for a protit. mil after paying the price agreed on to the astonished mort gagor he went on rolling down into British territory where he invested his equity and stri'-ing a good thing, in stead of rolling farther, accumulated a mull fortune NOT CERTAIN.
