Those elements of lawlessness In

est work was abhorrent, the desbe
for a continuance of these romantic
conditions.
The four In the forecastle experi­
enced much of the feeling that Alai-
din must have known when his lamp
proved so obedient a servant. It w s
with a certain timidity, covered by
an air of bravado, that they fir t
made demands on Slivers for food
and drink. They ordered ; he obeyed.
They sent hltn for Radway's fa­
mous cigars; Silvers brought a hi
mldor tilled with them. Mike sil t-
gested champagne. The genie they
luid known us Silvers delivered It
to them.
Hamner was chicken-hearted. He
believed that Ids arrest lit some
time or other was certain.
And
there were lifers In at least two of
those convict establishments Io
which he might be sent who had
threatened to kill him. And tiny
would succeed.
He had been a
trusty and lie had been a stool-
pigeon. Alone of the men he had
a prpfountj distrust of Bettlngton.
lie thought the surgeon was going
to try to help Mis. Railway and to
save his skin. Two could play at
that game. If he so stirred up tl.e
three plastic men before him—that
they attacked Metzger nnd Pereira
and killed them—and lie felt ties
would be the result—lie could be
hurrying to the doctor with the
news nnd Implore him to mete out
justice to the slayers.
It was a pretty scheme and
his expression annoyed Grnuinaiin
"What are you grinning for?” he
snarled. “What makes you so d—n
happy ?"
"I was thlukln," Hamner re
turned, “how good and surprised

and turned 'em out of the Boss'
quarters and make them come
here where they belong.

they sit and wait till we get to
Linton. They speak the lingo; we
don’t.
They'll speak us into Jail
before we know It. You know wlint
them (’entml American prisons are.
Nothing won’t ever get us out.
We won't even know what we’re In

"That's a fuck,” Mike agreed. “I

throwing a bull off the dock.”
“If we had to shoot 'em,” said
Hamner, “we'd sny It wns because
they tried to get nt the women folk.
Tluit'd listen good at home.”
"He's got a good head on him,'”
Mike salil, with genuine admiration
“That stuff gets over every time,
believe me. 'Brave seamen save the
women and children first’ ”
Herl Mike was one of those
drunkards who, after a sufficient
amount of poison, lose the more
obvious marks of Intoxication.
While the other three slept stertor-
ously he wns kept awake by the
growing ferocity he felt toward
Metzger nnd Pereira. It was about
seven o’clock when he roused his
reluctant comrades from their
slumber. They awakened sober but
aavnge.
It wns not hard to bring
them to tlielr last night's mood of
vengeance. The bot’les on the table
helped them to that.
It was decided then and there
to hunt for the traitors.
Every
stateroom and storeroom wns drawn
blank. The two must be on the up­
per deck with their crony, the sur­
geon. That would make three
against four.
Graumann was chosen to ask
leave to speak with the autocratic
navigator, and while speaking lo­
cate the missing men.
Bettington listened to Granmann's
story when he had given permis­
sion. through Silvera, for him to
come on deck.
He entertained a
profound distrust of the man.
"Well,” Bettington said, seeing
him gazing about him. “What la
It?”
“1 was wondering If the cook was
np here. sic.
We ain't seen him
in the galley nor Mr. Metzger, nei­
ther."
"Do they look to be here?"
Graumnnn glanced toward the
wireless house.
It was their only
possible hiding place.
Bettlngton
watched him sidling to it

asked, as If Interested In their ills-

“I guess they're below," he said
touching his cap.
His news added to the wrath of
the tricked four. It was plain they
could only be In the fore part of
the ship Immediately above the
forecastle where the men were now
sitting.
“There they are, the stirikin' da
goes,” said Hamner, “eating ami

Mike battered the table with his
Iron fists.
"No, by G—d." he shouted "that's
not the way I work. We'll batter
the door down."
With bars of Iron. Mike made his
first savage onslaught. The noise
In the quarters of the prisoned peo

She saw Mrs. Radway
take the automatic. During Inter

hear the most horrible oaths Imrled

To Mrs. Radway It meant that

feared, tricked into helplessness
This was the end.
Bettlngton, on bearing the ex
traordlnary racket, run to the head
of the companion. The shouts of
Mike and bls friends warned 1dm
of grave danger. Mike, Graumann
nnd Krause were trying to batter
their wuy to the women; there wns
no other explanation possible.
"Stop,” lie shouted.

they told him.
“They are not in there," cried
Bettlngton.
“Then where nre they hiding?
Graumnnn snarled.
The doctor's unreaduess to an

that he wns lying. Krause pull« I
out his revolver and took aim nt

as lie did so. It was no moment for
hesitation.
Bettlngton shot first.
Krause spun round—a bullet hnd

weapon. Another gun spat out ami
Graumann fell shot through the
heart.
Bettlngton glanced round
and saw Hamner's smoking barrel

It was Hamner's treachery which
staggered Mike and made film full
an easy victim to arrest. Betting

Hamner wns evolving a story
whereby he enacted the role of Sir
Galahad and Providence together.
In the end It would seem that, but
for him the voyage would have fin

He deter­
mined to attach himself to Mrs
Radway. He hnd been, formerly,
a specialist In those hard luck
stories whose success depended
upon feminine sympathy.
CHAPTER XII

FTER the first amazing clamor
wns stilled and Crosby Todd
had whispered some comforting
phrases to Mary, two shots run-
out. Then came Krause’s yell
of agony.
After tlint there w is
a silence of half an hour. But the
three, wnltlng as they expected for
death, made no move.
Out of the silence came three
staccato double rnps, the signal by
which the doctor was known.
“Don't open I" said Todd, hoarse
ly. "It's a trick.”
"I must know," Mrs. Radway
said, and unbolted the door.
Bettlngton stood there, lie was
pale and unsmiling.
"I'm afraid you have been very
much frightened." he begun. "Pm

“Do you tnvnn the dreadful dan

”1 think so. I shall want Todd

Todd came forward. “Well?”
"Don't go anywhere but on deck
and these quarters of yours.

He bowed to Mrs. Radway and
went out.
"What’s happened?" Boh cried
eagerly when lie was relieved st

Bettlngton. “You'll he able to see
