I tin not know how we lived through
that first furious hour. Isiac Treherne

showed hh Marnac lying by the steers

did not know, nor did I stay my labor to
make Inquiry.
The daylight came at last, the God
given Debt for which all poor marines
must pray in their hour of danger.
With It came a lessening of the wind
nud a fa lllnc Ma. Vet there had ben
nn an.yy menace in the brilliant color
that lit the eastern sky, and I stared
eagerly over the .muddy green of the hur
rying surges. Indeed, I wan the Brat
to sue a steamer's smudge of smoke on
tl'c we:ern skyline.
"Her be making for we, gentlemen,"
remarket our steersman, after a long
pure at the distant resei. "Happen her

"Hain't no desartlo. sir. Me and

occasional shiver, the old matt seemed
to be no worse for bi handshake with
Death. lie received the sailor' remark
with a benevolent MtHo, "Doan't 'e go
grinning at me. yon wicked-minded old
tiied!" cried Isiac. "Twin only through
H"ii mercies tuat I'ror.ilence forgot
you was on boanl. We'd ha' been sunk
lor csrten, elee."
Within half an hour we could see
the twimer clearly, an ancient tramp of
the sea, bluff in the bows, Miuare in th
Hank, with a coloring of soot ami rntty
ir n. She answered onr signal with a
melancholy toot and stood towards us.
(iradra, who had been watching her ap
jir.jach at my side, turned and walked
oft.
"I hare already dropped your revorret

'I trust. Sir Henry, that the note

musical tunex with which I was so fa
miliar. "Indeed, I was assured that the
case was waterproof."
".Vow, your loose gold. If you please."
"Here it is, Sir Henry, with my watch
mid chain. Observe that my pockets
nre now completely empty. Ah, Mr. Har

before. I fear that those nautical adven

Fhouhl be sorry If my students, amongst
whom I always held you to tie the most

have lost their shepherd. Mr. Ha Hand."
I turned from him with a feeling of
nausea. Mad or sane, be had done such
deeds as placed hint beyoud the inter
course of humanity,
The steamer was close upon us now,
nud ns she came rolling down the heave
of the swell we were nailed front the
bridge in a tongue that was strange to
me. liefore we could reply, a seaman
bad sprung to the bulwarks and sent the
rolls of a line splunlng over us. This
Isaac made fast, allowing n fair sjiaee to
Intervene between his little craft and
tlie rusty metal fabric that towered
uhove us.
"Uood-bye, Isaac," said Graden, shak
ing the little Cornlshman warmly by
the hand. "I will see to your check the
iu.msut I got to London."
"Doan't 'e mention It, zur. I was
right proud to take 'e. Nor do o trouble

It was an anxious scramble they had
to swing out a chair for Mnrnnc but the
trawler was as handy ns a row-boat, and
nt last the three of us stood on the deck
of the stranger. A more ill-assorted trio
of bedraggled voyagers never ranged in
Hue.
Hut If we wero strange to look upon,
vo were the group of men who confronted
us. They wero of the degenerate I.atln
breed, dark, suiall, uncertain In temper,
nud dirty by nature and training. Their
seafaring dress seemed as lll-sulted to
them as a sash and a colored cloak would
be to a British shellback.
"Kengle.bo?" asked one whom I took
to be the mate. "Eenglesho? What
ay?"
"We are Englishmen who were driven
out to sea by last night's tftorni. If I
mar see the captain, I will explain,"
Mid my cousin.

The man grinned his lack of compre
hension, l'lalnly hi vocabulary was of
the smallest.
"These men are Portugese, Sir Hen
ry," said Marnac. stepping quickly for
ward. "I know their tongue. Allow
me to explain the MtuAtlon."
Hut he got no further. My couMn'i
long arm shot out, gripping his i-ollnr
ttrtnly from liehind. With a gentle heave,
he swung the profeor front hi feet
and dropped htm behind u.
"l'tne t keep silence, l'rofeor

smile. And then turning to the sallort,

where he dUippearrd Into the wheel

man emerged ami came running to

"And hnre wnd 01 not hare greeted

in the moot strenuous of broaden; "bnt

"A strong man, sorr. an a good soa

Ha was Indeed a flne ngnre of a man,
fully six feet In height and proportion
itely broad. Ills skin was very dark,
ml his rj9 of the deep bUckneiM that
I have since observed in Indian races, but
ery soft and glowing. II U hair, which
ie wore at a greater length than Is cu
.omsry amongst sailors, showed umbrr
his cap in glossy curls; and bis mus
tache was twisted back almost to his
ears.
He bowed to us with a deliberate cour
tesy, muttering a greeting In bis own
tongue. He spoke no Kngllsh, ami it was
through the medium of Tim lilake that
be offered hs hospitality. It was no
lime for explanations, so, guarding Mar
nac lietween us, we hurried down to a
large cabin where warm garments and
steaming cup of hot coffee and
ugar were brought by the worthy Irish
water were brought by the worthy lr.m
man, to whose care we bad been as
signed. Aa far as could be judged. I
had not contracted so much as a cold
in the bead, despite my long extMMure.
When we bad completed our chaugo of
clothes, my cousin beckoned me outside
the cabin, closing the door on our pris
oner. "I have asked lilake to take me to the
captain, for it is right that he should
know the true position of affairs," be
whispored. "While I am gone, you must
sit with Marnac. Kemember, do not let
him out of your sight for a moment."
"Very well," I Mid, and he strode off
down the dark alley of the passageway.
When I re-entered the cabin I found
Marnac mullled to the chin, under the
blankets of a bunk. He gave me one of
his quick, ovll glances, that was un
pleasantly reminiscent of nn aged rat
surprised In an iron gin. I had so great
a horror ami detestation of the man that
his mere presence, was a source of phys
ical discomfort to me; and when, sitting
up amongst his uri. ho commenced to
poster me with questions. I could endure
It no longer. I retired outside the cabin,
seating myself with my back to the door.
I was as woll there, I argued, as in the
Interior, and In n position Infinitely more
satisfactory to myself.
The garments they had lont me wore
thick and warm; tho dose of brandy had
been considerable. I was wonry from
tho toll of a sloepless night Thoso are
my excuses fur tho fact that In tho
courso of the next five mluutes I full
soundly asleep.
It was Graden who woko mo, a very
angry and exasperated Graden who
shook my senses Into with with unnec
essary violence. I started up, protest
ing against his treatmont.
"I thought better of you than this,"
he said, with his hand still fixed In my
collar.
"My back was against the door, lie
could not pass without waking me. What
docs It matter?" I grumbled, with very
sign of Irritation,
"1 told you to watch blm, to stay In-
sldn the cabin, and I find you snoring
hero. Nu mun oxouses, please. You
know the ability nf the man. Let us
hope he has not taken advantage of any
chnncos jou gnvc him."
lie opened the door cautiously, peeped
In, nud then Hung It wide with n great
oath. Tho cnblu ws empty!
Yet there wits no doubt as to his uinti
nor of escape. In the middle of tho
flooring there gaped a little hole, with
a heavy square of wood lying beside It.
On examination we found that this en
trance had nlo been birred by h grat
ing, which now swung downwards on Its
hinges, disclosing h wooden ladder, the
foot of whleh was Indistinguishable In
the gloom below.
"lie Is In tlM hold!" I cried. "He Is
hiding somewhere amongst the cargo!
Wo shall neter find him without the help
of tho crew."
Amongst the excellent points In my
cousin's character was that of perfect
self-control. There was no anger In
his voice to remind me of my blunder
when lie stmke again.
"It's not the hold, Cousin Hubert."
he said. "This U the ship's latarette,
where the food is stored. There are usu
ally two entrances, each similar to this.
If he has ec.Htl by the seitwd, It's a
bad business. It will mean he hsa found
n friend, for these gratings should be
secured. Hut It may be that he Is lurk
ing amongst the pork nud biscuits. If
mi, we ought to tlnd him easily enough.
I don't want to bring the crew Into this
affair If I can help It. It will be enough
If the captain knows."
"That's the blackest part of the Inck.
The ship caught it pretty badly last
night; they were right In the thick of
It. I found the ctptaiu on deck super
intending three or fnr sailors who wera
clearing away the wreckage of one of the
boat, lie was in au a ma sing temper,
and Hlake ad vise. 1 me that If I had a
favor to ask him. I had best let him cool
off a bit. So I dismissed the Irishman
and climbed up to the bridge. I should
think I'd been there abont twenty min
utes watching the work, when I saw a
sharp-looking ' I"!' onX fr,MM lh' "11'
panion ami go over to where the captain
was standing. They had a Bne pow-wow
together, looking up at me from time to
time. It rather puaaled me. and pres
ently I dropped tlown the stairs and
walked over to where they were. The
captain seemed decidedly chilly, and I
Mmn saw by his manner that he was not
wanting a talk Just then. Whereupon
1 came Mow. So kindly light the lamp
I see In the bracket yonder. Cousin Hob
ert, ami we'll go hunting again."
CIIA1TKU XX.
We descended tbe ladder, Oration go
ing Arst. ami I following with the lamp,
the light of which I endeavored to throw
over his shoulder.
It seems a cowardly thing to eouf,
writing as I am In the broad daylight,
with the bees amongst the Hower-beds
singing their song through the open win
dow, but though we were two to one, ami
our quarry an old man, uty cunsln bad
twice to rale me for the deliberation of
my movements. We (werel about
amongst the lurking shadows, with tho
thunder of the seas hammering on the
lrn sides without. Now ami again a
heave of the ship would send us stag
gering apart, to bring up amongst un
expected barrels. Perhaps it was the
want of sleep that bail Jangle. 1 my
nerves, but I knew in my heart that if
I were suddenly to catch a dgbt of those
wicked ees staring out from the gkiom
before '". 1 should shriek ami run like
a hysterical schoolgirl.
Hut Marnac was not there. The grato
of the second sulrway was closed ami
locked, and yet he had dlsappa."d.
Someone had heltd him that was plain
enough. We stood disconsolate amongst
the details of the ship's larder.
"Well, he's gone right enough," said
my cousin. "Hallo! what the deuce Is
this?"
He took the light from my hand and
stooped to examine something nt his feet.
It was a steel cylinder, about eight feet
lu length; n second lay beside It.
"Ammonia! Ho they run n colt stor
age ou boanl."
"How do you know that?" I asked,
"My dear cousin, If you can't remem
ber the iwrt that niiiinonln plays lu the
inrtuiifacture of Ice, I shall not attempt
to hallo! stop that stop that, I
say!"
He sprang forward, caught his foot
In an empty sack, and fell heavily, ex
tinguishing the lamp. As ho did so, I
saw an arm reach down and draw up the
grating through which we had dtisceuded.
A key clicked lu the padlock. Graden
was on his feet In an Instant, and to
gether we rushed to the foot of the lad
der. In tho (Mitch of grey daylight nboro us
we could so the fflco of the captain
looking through tho bars, nud peeping
tlown beside blm, with the sweetest dim
ple of an old man's smile, upon his lips,
was Professor Marnac!
There was a pause, filled with much
whispered talk from nlmve. Then the
red head of our friend Tim Hlake came
thrusting Into the picture. He seemed
much distressed nt tho situation,
"Paith; but 'tis not 01 that knows
fwhat to bohilvo," sold ho; "hut tho skep
pur here will have It that yer'ro a pair Iv
tlosprlte nud revolting characters. Ol nm

cousin, "thnt ho has been grossly do
