“I will send him in, but. I caution
you not to let him try any violence
with me or endeavor to make Hal

warning he may be dooming you to
a worse danger than he knows.”

Never had Bettington experienced I
the sense of shame so keenly as
when he left Clements and entered
the library. Evelyn Rndway was
walking up and down. She crossed
quickly to him as he entered and
looked into his eyes without speak
ing. Then with a little sudden,
spontaneous gesture she put out
her hand to him.
“I believe you are really my
friend,” she said.
“No one lives who Is more anx
ious to belf» you,” he answered.
Was not this the moment, he won
dered, to risk all and tell her of
his knowledge of the [»lot? Then,
suddenly, he called to mind how
Clements had used a dictagraph to
trap those whom he suspected.
Clements might be listening now.
He listened to her description
of the Interview with the steward.
He tried to affect wrath and indig
nation, but achieved only inartic
ulate sounds. Clements had been

Captain Hallett, Ids nephew and
young Unwin to dinner. Could you
come, too? I know It Is asking a
lot, because the captain Is certain
to be unpleasant; but on the other
hand, you might get on better than
I expect, and. after all. you four
men are united against those
others.”
“1’11 comp gladly,” he said, “and

we can pull together there will be
four men against almost a dozen ”
As Bettington went to his own
quarters lie saw that H.illeil was
having ids dunnage moved Into the
large room formerly occupied by
Clements. The steward was not
to be seen. The captain looked
at the ship’s doctor with a sneer,
“I guess you'll miss your friend.’*
What personal grudge, Bettingtun
wondered, did this bellicose mar
iner bear against him? He had
always liked sailors and been liked
by them. Hallett was a new type
to him, lie supposed. Then he re
membered Ids instructions to enlist
tlie captain’s sympathies.
“I may have a more congenial
neighbor lu you,” lie said pleas-
iintly.
“Congenial? Me?
Hallett flared. “I’m
here and I'll have those under me
keep their [»laces.”
“Admirable.” liettlngton returned
“I see no objeetion to that; but
I am not under you, Cn
My duties do not conflict
yours, nor am I here to aid In
Ing the ship.”
Hallett grunted In reply, There
was no answer to this.
CHAPTER VIII
Tragedy on the High Seas.
EVER had » day. which was to
end In tragedy, dawned more
brightly. Evelyn Radway was earl,
on deck and found Bettington ai
ready there. She discovered her
self to be free from much of the
awkwardness of the day before and
greeted the doctor as a friend fo
whom she need make no explana
tions or expect any.
Bottlngfon was Irritated by find

Ing, “Well?” he said. “What Is It?”
"Mr. (’lenients says, will you kind
ly look at Ids throat.”
“I suppose I had better go,” be
said, when the lad was gone.
The name of the steward had
brought a troubled look to Mrs /
Radway’s face. For a moment she
had forgotten his existence.
“Certainly,” she cried, “and do
not let him think I want to evade
the monetary payment.”
Clements was in the room for
merly occupied by the captain.
“Aly throat's all right,” he said,
that was an excuse. I left you
all alone last night, because I hoped
you might learn something that
wouldn’t have been said had J I m ' pii
there.”
Bettington wondered whether he J
had not some dictographlc contriv
ance which would already have put
him in possession of what had
passed.
“The most Important tiling Is that
Airs. Radway wants you to know
she Isn’t going to evade paying the
ransom.”
“Tlint’s good.” Clements cried.
“We must arrange some way in
which it can be paid through you.
It will be safe to let them use the
wireless. Tell Sam that (Jrauniann

Sam looked doubtful when he
heard Clements’ Instructions.

crossed the deck. His unsteady
step and the odor of rum arrested
the skipper’s attention.
“You’ve been drinking, you swine,”
said Hallett, gripping Ids arm.
‘ I’m not too drunk to fix the wire
less your fool nephew can t.”
Bettington saw that there might
be a disagreeuble scene.
“Go below,” he whispered to M s
Radway. “This may frighten Mary.’
Grauniann laughed aloud. Il-

“All of ’em." said Graum.inn

“Then you’re a clever fellow.”

“If I’m not the boss," Hallett

“You know.” Graumann retorted,
with sudden suspicion, “you know
(I n well who’s the real skipper.”
San) had rushed down the com
panion and Implored Clenu'nts* aid.
“For G—d’s sake," he cried, “come
and stop Graumann. He’s drunk
and spilling tilings to Hallett.”
Hallett looked at Clements and
Sam with a frown.
“You come at a good time, stew
ard," he said grimly.
“For what?’’ Clements demanded.
Graumann turned at tb.e well-
known voice.
“There’s Hie real captain.” he as
serted. “He’s the man I take off
my hat to."
“lie ought to he put in Irons,”
Clements said, looking at the man
severely.
“He’s just babbling
drunk."
“There’s a few more particulars
I want from him before that. He
tliinks I’m not boss aboard the Al-
butross. Boys,” he added, as Bob
and Crosby hurried toward the
group, “you’d latter be witness to
wh.at’s going on. I’m getting the
truth out of this drunken dog here
at last and It’s going to be Inter
esting, mighty Interesting.”
Bettington strolled over to the
excited men.
“What’s happened?” he asked.
Graumann bowed low as h
heard the doctor’s voice.
“There’s another real
num.” he said "I take off

smiled In triumph. "That settles

“Sam!” Clements caHed shrilly.
“Here, Boss,” Sam said, mnte-

"Let no niessage be sent. Smash
the lust» r .ent if necessary.”
In a twinkling Sum had hurled
himself Into (lie wireless room,

with them.
Todd rose painfully from tiie
deck and stood with Boh at the
captain’s side. These three op
posed the rest, consolous of the
hazard which was Involved, yet
clinging to a hope that authority
could quell insurrection.
Bettington stood apart from these
two groups. He hud seen the coni-

of his could avert the destiny he
feared.

awaiting Ills word.
Hallett, obstinate, unseeing and
blindly at the mercy of his own
prejudices, showed, in that fear
ful moment, his quality of courage.
Not for a moment was he led too
think of compromise. He was cap
tain and would not be a lesser man.
“By G—d.” he cried, “this is mu
tiny !”
The, spectacle of Clements stirred
him into violent action.
“You grinning dock rat,” he shout
ed. “I’ve got the right sort of medi
cine for mutineers.”
With that he pulled a revolver
from his left-hand breast pocket and
shot the steward through the chest. I

Then two pistol shots rang out.
“Quick.” said Mrs. Rad way,
“they will be coming this way.”
Hardly had they crossed to the
door leading to the bleeping quar

Hastily they do < d the steel parti

entered.
“Mutiny!” said Bob. He felt him
self thrill as he uttered the» word
which on shipboard may have so
disastrous a meaning.
Mrs. Rndway wondered why the
captain made no report to her. Was
he the sort of man to be silent in
the presence, on his own ship, of
such dangers as these? And. while
the rest were standing, he dropped
heavily to a settee in the corridor.
There was a terrifying lack of re
sentment and courage in Ids face.
And as she looked closer, she saw
that the ruddy color had faded. She
knew in that moment he had been
badly hurt.
“( h, what is It?” she cried,
wringing her hands.
“They got me, ma’am,” he said
slowly. “Two balls in the back and
