nriMC Orontes had crossed the Line
in .twenty-two days. Any oiher
skipper would liave exulted in her
upend. ('uplnin Stevens might have
thrilled to it under different H renin -Btnnccw;
hut ho did not. llu had
withdrawn into a grim, sullen shell of
taciturnity which only cracked or
huff coed when Mary wan on deck.
In the days that followed, tins An
gel of peace hovered a bit further
nwiiy from the Orontea than usual.
After the firnt few days of settling
flown, when, men and mates not yet
acquainted with each other, the inn ten
of necessity seemed hard until they
.knew the men, the fluent harmony had
ruled the tall clipper. The men were
as good as the average, if not bet
ter; the mates knew their work and
did not drive the men unncceanrily.
But the devil seemed to have entered
into Captain Htevena. He ordered
the mates to work the men at jobs
and hours out of reason. The matcB
bad to do ft. Instead of peace, there
was smoldering discontent in the fore
castle, and the men blamed Drake for
It. Even Joe Bunting and Nick
Coombs, both friends, grumbled that
he bad brought this upon the men by
daring to put up. a fight when the
akipper hammered him.
, Drake took all their grumbling with
a laugh. He was sorry for them, but
told them to blame the skipper rather
than him. It was the skipper who
started in to hammer him, not he
the akipper. But all told, there was
tin rest in the forecastle where before
had been peace.
'Erbert Oats asked to be shifted
ever to the other watch. He was
afraid of Tony. Tony was bound to
kill Mmt he said. 'Erb was laughed at
by the mate. He took his tale to the
skipper, who ran him out of the
cabin by his collar, and told the mate
to tie a rattle around his neck. And
Tony grinned evilly at the panic be
was starting. Tony and the Doctor
formed themselves into a gang of two.
The Doctor, dirty at first, dirtier as
the Toyage rolled on, was an outcast
Hot even the apprentices stopped to
toady to him for privileges. Instead
of flattering him so that they might
Cook their Dog's Body In the after
noons for supper, they went boldly to
the mato and secured the privilege
officially. That made the Doctor hate
the mate. Soon there would be
trouble wltU the crew, too; for the
food, good enough, was spoiled by bad
cooking. Tony was a good man to
wing in with. He handled a knife
like a man, did Tony. Thus the Doc
tor reasoned. And old Bill Gad
, gett, the bosun, after settling down to
a comfortable voyage with a crew
who knew their work, found himself
suddenly as be-damned and outcast as
the Doctor; and all becauso he was
ordered by the motes to work up the
men.
Drake had in turn done all the hu
miliating jobs of the ship. The ap
prentices woro given the, brnsswork
to clean, and he was given the morn
ing job of cleaning out the chicken
coops and the sheep pen. Thut yas

Then came tho night when the Doc

It held the ship down perilously. It
was no time for crncking on.
