carried blm. It waa not tbe conven

motor, rudder and acrew. Nor waa It
suspended In I be air by wings or
plane, unless tbe long, concave roof
above, toward tba edge of which the
stanchions led, performed some such
function. Amidships were a vertical
and a borlxontal steering wheel, aft a
noisily buxxlng engine,, and behind It
In the darknesa presumably were tbe
acrew and rudders that propelled and
guided the craft Symmetrically dis
posed about the deck were long steel
cylinders that doubtless contained the
compressed gas or air that worked the
engine, and through and between them
all a system of pipes, valves, levers
and Indicators, aa complicated aa the
fittings Of an engine room. Tbe com
mander was at tbe wheel amidships,
another man at the engine; and tbe
rest of the crew, seven In all, were
keeping lookout
"There she Is," said one, suddenly
lifting his head. "Ahead and to port"
"I see her," said the captain, peer
Ing down and shifting the wheel.
"You see, young man," he said to Fel
ton, "we had to rise ao suddenly to
dodge tbat turret top tbat we. lost
lgbt of her."
"Do you mean to say," answered
Felton cautiously, for be did not yet
understand tbe temper of these-' men,
"that you can dodge anything? ,
"We can dodge or outrun a shell or
anything else big enough to aee. But
It Vas dark, and we didn't aee (bat

"What la your lifting power, cap
lain?" "The centrifugal force of the earth
partly, lncouvenlant In one respect,
for we rise at n tangent We descend
by Its opposite nnd balancing force,
gravitation, which la more direct."
"How do you tap this centrifugal
forceT" asked the amated Felton.
"How do you overcome gravitation!"
"Gravitation Is ouly one" phase of
magnetism. In magnetism repulsion'
equals attraction. By reversing our
polarity we are repelled from tbe earth
at tbe speed of a falling body, but, of
course, at a tangent"
"It's beyond me," said Felton. "Of
courso that tangent would take you
westward-at the speed of the sun."
. "In a succession of jumps, yes."
"But bow do you change your polar

the ship below, his own ablp, with Us
familiar bridge, turrets and super
structure, and an enormous, gaping
bole forward where one had been the
twelve Inch turret.
Tbey lifted a pointed shell, based
like a dynamite projectile, bald It
poised until the captain gave tbe word
and dropped It. It went down true as
a plummet and went out of sight. Bat
Us effects were soon seen In en np
lifting of the quarterdeck done to the
stern and tbe rising of a cloud ef yel
low amoke.
A alx Inch gun on tbe superstruc
ture waa bark log away, and shells still
screamed upward, but none came near
the airship.
"We'll alienee that gun," the com
mander said, taking out his watch and
slightly changing tbe course and speed.
"Bund by."
Tbey poised another shell, and at
tbe word "drop" down It went. The
commander pocketed his watch and
said: "Now for the rest of her. After
turret next .
Felton beard, but was watching tbe
descent of the shell It went out of
sight Uke- the others, but soon be saw
tbe uplift of deck, the yellow amoke
of explosion and a dismounted gun
flying overboard.
"Mr God. captain," be exclaimed. "Is
this legitimate warfare t What chance
has she? She can't bit back!"
"And she cost about four millions,
didn't abef answered tbe captain de
risively. .
Felton said no more, but watched
while hut ship waa picked to pieces,
and when tbe whole expanse waa an
uneven tangle of riven plates, twisted
mla, smashed boats and uprooted Ten-
tllators tbe funnels came in tor atten
tion. Three open ten foot tubes lead
ing to tbe vitals, water tube boilers
and steam connections, one after an
other belched upward a mighty white
cloud.
"I aay, there," called the captain to
Felton, "What blew op tbat forward
turret? No gun fire can reach n maga
xtne, and It wasn't I that did It" '
"How do I know? perhaps It waa
something else like yon." ananped
Felton.
"Do yon think and tbe command

"that It might have been a subma

go down and aee."' . ?
. One of the men, big. lumbering fel
low with a dull, moon Uke face, came
up to where Felton lay and kicked
him
."Don't talk Uke tbat to the boss."
he said.
"Curse your yelled Felton. "Ton
kick a man bound and down Loose
my hands. If you dare. Loose my
hands! I won't need my feet
"Loose him!" called the captain un
concernedly. "Give him bla way!"
Tbe man stooped and unfastened the
cord which held Felton'a wrists, then,
even aa he acrambled to his feet he
released his ankles.
"Now, you dog, take It!" he growled,
launching bla nst at the man'a face.
It landed squarely, and the man went
down, bleeding. He arose, but Instead
of resisting or making any attempt te
strike back stood placidly In bla tracks
while the angry man struck him again.
Once more he went down, to rise
again and tranquilly face his assailant
Felton hesitated, while bis anger cool
ed a little. This kind of fighting waa
nw to him. But the kick In bla riJM
flashed Into hla mind, and the anger
came back. "Fight! Fight!" he growl
ed and again knocked tbe fellow down.
"Any one else here who wants to kick
mer Felton said.
No one answered. They were all
looking down, and even tba victim
joined in the scrutiny.
"Do you think." asked tbe captain,
ralsbig a troubled face, "that there are
any submarine craft around?"
"How do I know?" answered Felton.
"I don't feel easy at alt"
"Hew the devil," exclaimed Felton.
"can a submarine hurt you?"
Tbe captain did uot answer.
The airship had descended to lesa
than a hundred yards from the aea
and hung poised, not over tbe floating
scrap heap tbat bad once been a bat
tleship, but to starboard. One look
was enough for Felton. He saw men
writhing among tbe wreckage, nnabla
to crawl to the rail and end their ag
