His appraliel Jhe girt struck Rainey with !Opre- V oo. "To the victor be!rug* the spoils.” Somehow the quotation per­ sisted. What it Lund regarded the girl as legitimate loot? He might have talked differently beforehand, to as­ sure lilmself of Rainey’s support. And Rainey suddenly felt as If his support hud been uncalled tqiou, a frail reed at best. Lund had not need­ ed him ; would he need him, save us an aid, not altogether necessary, with Hansen aboard, to run the ship? He said nothing, but thrust both hands Into the side pockets of the pilot coat he had acquired from the ship’s stores. The sudden touch of cold steel gave him new courage. He had sworn to protect Uie girl. If Lund, seeming more like u pirate than ever, with his cold eyes sweeping the horizon, his bulk casting Italuey’s Into a dwarf’s by comparison, attempted to harm I’eggy Simms, Rainey resolved to pluy the part of champion. He could not shoot like Lund, but he was armed. He felt the mastery of the man. And he felt Incompetent be­ side him. Lund held the power of life and death, not by brute force alone. He wus the only navigator aboard, with the skipper seriously 111. As such alone he held them In hig baud, ouce they »ere out of sight of land. “ Hansen,” said Lund, “Mr. ltainey’ll relieve you after we’ve eaten. Come on, Rainey. You ain’t lost yore appe­ tite, I hope. Watch me discard that spoon for a knife an’ fork. I don’t have to play blind man onuy longer.” Food did not appeal to Rainey. It was Lund’s demeanor that gripped him. The giant dismissed Carlsen ns unceremoniously as he might have flipped the ash from a cigar, or tossed the stub overside. "I’ ve got to tackle those hunters,” Lund said. “ I expect trouble there, sooner or later. But I’m goin’ to lay down the law to ’em. If they come clean, well an’ good, they git their original two shares. If not, they don’t get a plugged nickel. An’ Demlng’s the one who’ll stir up the trouble, take It from me. I’d Jest as soon It was war. I don’t see as we can help the skipper much ’less we try reverse treatment of what Carlsen did—If we knew what that was. If he gits worse she’ll let us know, I reckon. See you later.” Italney took the dismissal and went up to the relief of Hansen. He did not mention what had happened until the Scandinavian referred to It Indi­ rectly. “They put the doc overboard, sir, soon’s air. Lund an’ you bane go be­ low.” It seemed n summary dismissal of the dead, without ceremony. Yet. for the rite to be authentic, Lund must hnve presided, and the sea-burial serv­ ice would have been a mockery under the circumstances. It was the best thing to hnve done, Rainey felt, but he could not avoid a meutul shiver at the dute fc- 7 * Me didn't take It up, an' they'll kid him ubuut It. He'll pack .a grudge. 1 ain't ut'riild of their knifin' me, not while the skipper's sick. They need me to navigate.” "This might be u good chance for me to handle a sextant,” suggested Italney casually. Lund shook his head, smiling, but Ills eyes hurd. “ Not yet, uiutey,” he said. “ Not that I don't trust you, but for me to he the only one, Jest now, Is a sort of life Insurance that suits me to carry. They might ftgger. If you wus able to navigate, that they c'ud put the screws ou you to carry ’em through, with'me out of the w ay. I don't suy they could, but they might make It hard for you, un’ you ain't got quite the same stake In this I have.” Here was cold logic, but Rainey saw the force of It. Hansen came up early to split the watch and put their sched­ ule right again, and Luud went below with Rainey. Lund ordered Tamada to bring a bottle and glasses, and they sat down at the tuble. Rainey needed the kick of a drink, and took one. As Lund was raising his glass with a toast of “ Here's to luck," the skip­ per’s door opened and the girl ap­ peared. She looked like a ghost. Her hair wus disheveled and her eyes stared at them without seeming recog­ nition. But she spoke, In a fiat, tone­ less voice. "My father Is dead! I—” she fal­ tered, swayed und seemed to swoon as she sank towurd tlie floor. Rnlney durted forward, hut Lund wus quicker and swooped her up In his arms as If she had been a feather, took her to the table, set her In a chulr, dabbled a napkin in some water and applied It to her brows. “Chafe nor wrists,” he ordered Rainey. “ Undo that top button of her blouse. That’s enough; she ain’t got ou corsets. She’ll come through. Plumb worn out. That’ s all.” He handled her, deftly as a nurse would a child. Ituiney chafed the slen­ der wrists nnd beat her palms, and soon she opened her eyes and sighed. Then she pulled away from Lund, bending over her, and got to her feet. “ I n)ust go to my father,” she said, “ lie Is dead.” They followed her into the cabin and Lund bent over the bunk. “ Looks like It," he whispered to Rainey. Then he tore open the skip­ per's vest nnd shirt and laid his head on his chest. The girl made a faint motion as If to stop him, but did not hinder him. She was at the end of her own strength from weariness and wor­ ry. Lund suddenly raised his head. “There's a flutter,” he announced. “ He ain't gone ylt. Get Tamada an' some brandy.” With the dose there came signs of revival, a low moan from the skipper. The girl flew to his side. Tamada, stundlng by with the bottle, stepped forward, bunded the brandy to Rainey, and rolled up the lid of an eye, look­ ing closely at the pupil. “ I study medicine at Tokyo,” he said. “ Why didn’t ye say so before?” de­ manded Lund. It did not occur to any of them to doubt Tornado's word. There was an air of professional assurance and an efficiency about, him that car­ ried weight. "What can you do for him? There's a medicine chest In Carlsen’s room." “ I was hired to cook,” said Tamada quietly. “ I should not have been per­ mit to Interfere. It Is not my business If a white man makes a fool of him­ self. Now we want morphine and hy­ podermic syringe.” Tamada rolled up the captain’» sleeve. The flesh, shrunken, pallid, was elewely spotted with dot-llke scars that showed livid, as If the cap­ tain had been suffering from some strange rash. Lund whistled softly. Rainey, too, knew what It mennt. The skipper had been a veritable slave to the drug. Carlsen had administered It, pre­ scribed It. used It ts a means to bring Simms under his subjection. “ How much d’ye suppose he took at once?” Lund asked the Japanese In a low voice. “ Fifteen grains, I think. Maybe more. Too much I Always too much “They Put th« Doc Overboard, Sir, drug in his veins. Much worse than Soon*! Mr. Lund an’ You Bane Go opium for man.” "Carlsen's work,” growled Lund.
