A Story of The Sea Br DONALD CMAMBERUN Jim ilulford and 1 were engineers ou n tramp steamer. Out- nioriilnj: when I was sitting lu ttie etiplue room wait ing to relieve him lie told me this flory: lu ISO'-' while lu the Java sea. having quarreled with my captain. I left the ,sh! nt Horiieo. 1 found an English man who wanted to take u tug t" liougkoug and agreed to go with him. we two heing the sole crew. The tug proved to be a tub. and we sooi) found something the matter with the con nections between the firebox and boil er. We lay to, put out the tires, then cleaned out the lircbos, which It was necessary to enter. While I was hunting for the trouble with a lighted caudle the Englishman was keepltig watch oil deck. Pres ently he called for me ta.eoniu qpraud showed uie a suspicious looking craft ou the starboard quarter. She didn't . . i 1 ny any nag. set low in me waier aim appeared to have no especial purpose. "She's a pirate." he said. Nonsense!" I replied. There aro no pirates nowadays." "Dou't you believe It. These waters arc full of them. They're not the reg ular thiug they used to be. They're robbers and murderers in a small way, but they're pirates all the same." While we were talking the craft veered and came toward us. What could we do? There was no fire In the bos, and If there were we couldn't make more than sis knots nn hour, while tho pirates. If they were such, could make ten or twelve. Of courso we were nothing of a prize, but there was no expectation that we would es cape with our lives anyway. We cast a wistful glance at one of the Anam bas Islauds. not more than five miles away on the port side. "I'll tell you what we'll do." I said. "We can't swim ashore, but we'll make believe we've tried. There's one chance for us here. We can get Into the firebox, and if they dou't happen to open the door they won't know we're aboard. What do jou my 'I" "One chance in u thousand, but we'll take It. There's nothing else to do." Well, we waited till we were kuMk tied there was murder aboard the coin ing craft, then went down, got Into tho firebox and pulled the door to The latch came down with n click. Then for tin- tliht time 1 remembered there was no menus of opening the . door from within and we iniifct meet death In one of two forms. it wasn't long before we heard voltes, then a bump, then the sound or people Jumping on to the deck. There was n perfect babel of voices that neither of us understood. Then 1 heard a quid; step coining down, und Ju another minute the furnace door ' was thrown open. Instinctively we crouched on either side of the opening. After u hasty glance the door was closed with a bang. It had been opened to see if tho tiro was out. I hadn't counted on ' not being discovered. I had supposed that U i'y opened the door they would surely M' us. Tho Jabbering on deck was kept up, and 1 was sure u promiscuous lot of dark skinned devils were debating jghat to do. Presently; two volcgajrosp Editor Editorial Association .75 FREE OCT. 18, 1917.

Alter that one or the two voices was alone heard, and I made up my mind that the leader had asserted his authority and would set tle the mntfer to suit himself. Some one went down into the hold, iud lu n moment 1 heard the boring of no au gur. The tug vas being scuttled. Tho man below came upstairs: the foot steps above grew 1oj?s frequent, then ceased altogether. The pirates had de parted ami left us to sink slowly to tho bottom. There was one chance. Perhaps the latch on the firebox door hadn't fallen. I gave the door a push, but It didn't move. That settled the matter. We were fastened In. nnd within un hour all would be over. I can't conceive of a more horrible fir to be in, nnd It takes the starch out of me even now to think of it. This Is the lust time I'll ever tell it. How long wo had been caged I don't know I had no idea of time when 1 heard something outside like a groan. I listened and heard It again. Some one was there and suffering. 1 bent with my fist on the door. We shouted mado noise enough to wake tho dead. There was no reply. Then we gave It up. Some tlmo passed, during which there was no sound except the plash of the wares against the Sides of the tilg. when wo heard the latch lifted nnd the door rnored ajar. My companion thrust an arm through, and I forced the door wide open. A copper colored man covered with blood had crawled to the door iiml opened it. He couldn't say much, and we couldn't iiiiderstund what ho did My. hut In time we learned Mint he wan one of the pirates and his ciiptnin had shot him for differing with him about the dlsiioxttl of the tug. Suppos ing him to be dead, they had left him ii go down with her. The fimt thing we did was to plugth bottom. Thi'ii. having found the dlfil cnlty with our connection and put cited it, we. fired up and proceeded on our course.
