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

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

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

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
