CHAPTER II
CTTVX HANSEN laughed. "I
alnt hinting you followed htm
out here, you little devil. I was
uit making mention of the fact
thai ha was here. Well be getting
back from Prince Ruppert to aaa
him fight, though, If you're inter
acted." "Not Interested. No busman!
holiday for me. rm vacationing,
you know."
"What about that book you're
writing?"
"Oh. that rm Just going t
oak up loads and loads of atmos
phere, ril do the actual writing
later on. Which reminds ma . . .
, If e been years and years sine
I've been aboard the "Bene.' Don't
you think you'd better take me on
little tour of Inspection and In
troduce me to the crew?"
' "Okay, Matey, lefi abort off.
Dont suppose you've gone to tea
much since you left Frisco."
, "You're wrong there. Captain
Hansen. I've spent my last four
summer vacations sailing and
yachting up around Maine. Tm
not the landlubber you think X
am."
He rubbed his chin. "Betcha my
, spare peg leg you had a lot of
classy, blue-blood shipmates up
that way, though. The hands
aboard the "Northern Belle have
a different cut to their Jib, as
you'll probly find out Rough,
tough, cussln. sea-farm men.
Think you can handle th situa
tion?" he Inquired humorously. -.
She stopped short, feet spread
and hands oa hips. "I can '"nil
any situation, anytime, Steve Han
sen, and dont you think differ-
antly for on minute."
He looked at her and mentally
agreed.
e
gHX bubbled oa excitedly aa they
made the rounds, finally In a
mora serious veint "What's going
up this trip, Stevie, and whafre
,. we bringing back?"
' I A alight frown flitted over his
face. "Except for soma prettf
Valuable mining machinery, we're
going up rather light" -f
"Mining machinery?" aha
echoed. "Consigned to whom?"
i "Outfit .called Halliday He-
' aouioea, They control mora mines
and lumber than is good for one
iaompany to have. They need this
machinery in a big hurry. On th'
trip back we're going to load up
with a hold full of spruce and fir.
They've about promised your
Unci Hank that they'll give him
year's contract en an their ship
ping if they like our service."
"Swell! Great! Ifs In the bag,
Btova."
"Hope so, honey. : Tour uncle
needs that contract It'll help us
recondition a couple of the older
hips in the line. If we don't get
em in shape soon we're liable to
have trouble with the govment"
"But Eteve, there's no reason
why wa can't give 'em as food
service aa they can get on the
, coast Or is there?" she asked
lowly, noticing the look on his
face.
' "No there lsnt It's Just that
this is so goldarned important and
so much can happen before we get
to Prince Rupert and back again
We we've been havln' a lot of
tough luck lately."
"What kind of tough luck.
Bteve?" . .
"Oh, no thin that you ought to
be worryin' about You Just think
o' havin' a good time and enjoyin'
yourself for the next couple
weeks. Although, frankly, I can't
ee how a gal like you is going to
have much fun on a dirty old tub
like this. There won't be any
fancy salads at mess, an' you
won't have any perfumed bath
alts. You'll have a salt bath, in
stead." She was indignant "Captain
Hansen, Tm surprised at you. In
the first place I'm not going to let
you call the 'Northern Belle a
tub, and it isnt dirty, either. You
know darned well it's spotless
ran stem o stern and and in
side out, or whatever It is they
call a ship from top to bottom."
He chuckled heartily and put a
huge arm around her waist
"Speaking of salads, you've seen
lust about everything but the gal
ley. C'mon, you've got to meet
Wong Lee."
"Steve, I've been thinking,' she
said slowly as they crossed the
afterdeck. "In view of the fact
that this voyage is a little more
important than the others let's
forget about me being first mate.
It . . . well, it was Just sort of a
gag, anyway, and I'd Just be in
the way. Tell you what HI sign
on as purser and give you a hand
with business affairs."
"Here I had Barney MacGregor
all smoothed over for nothing. . . .
And you up and resign before wa
even sail."
"Incidentally, Stevie. when do
We lift anchor?"
"Two bells, nromnt ThaPa O
o'clock to you. We're Just about
loaded now."
They entered the galley and
Hansen beckoned to a grinning
Oriental. "Val. .this is Wong aa.
He puts out the best mulllnn
stew on the coast Trouble is, wa
told him we Ilka It That was our
mistake. Now wa get it every
night."
"Claptaln Hansen tell ma you
come. Missy. He make me bluy
new cookbook to make fancy one
in while. Yes?" He grinned still
wider ana val had a faint suini
clon that aha was being the re
cipient of a gentle Jibe. A look at
Hansen a face convinced her.
"Thanks, Wong," she aaid, "but
we wont be any fancier the next
two weeks than we have been.
But if you DO want a good Dutch
Apple pie soma time, Just let me
know, and I'll show you how it's
none."
"Me call."
e e e
JT was shortly before dinner that
Val, hearing a commotion out
side tier cabin, opened the door to
hear Hansen swearing softly.
"What's up Steve?" aha asked
quickly.
"Plenty," he snapped. "Three of
the crew Jumped ship. We were
short-handed as it was, too. Cant
sail tonight without replacements
and wa cant sign on anyone until
morning."
"But Steve, we've got to sad
tonight We cant afford to wait
until morning and you know it
What what'U wa do, Steve?"
"In th old days," he growled,
"we'd shanghai 'em. But these
alnt th' old days. They make the
laws stick today."
Her eyes glistened. "Steve . . .
lefs!"
"Let's what?"
Shanghai 'em! Oh. dont be a
fussy old softie. YouH probably
be doing three loafers a big favor,
anyway. Make men of 'em."
"Hey . . . hey! Wait a minute,
ha said hastily, noticing her ex
pression.. "You cant do that any-
more. That's . . . thafs piracy,
they'd hang us from tha yerd-
arml"
"Oh. Steve . . . c'mon. Just for
me. Don't you want ma to have
some fun?" . .
He looked at her again. And
then came the Idea. "Okay, Matey.
It's your party."

Tha city of Boston, in 1899,
dosed Its parks to automobiles
between the hours of 10 a. m.
and 8 p. m., because of the many
run away horses.
