the wet planking of the deck. For half sb honi more Kettle struggled on at the pump, doing double work, but even his flesh and blood had its breaking Strain, and at last he could work no more. He leaned dizzily op against the pump for a minute or bo, and then \ with an effort he pulled his still un- | conscious companion away and laid him ' on the dry floor of a deckhouse. There Was a pannikin of cold stewed tea slung from a hook in there and half a sea biscuit on one of the bunks. He ate and drank greedily and then went out again along the streaming decks to work, so far. as his single pair of hands could ac complish such a thing, at getting the huge derelict once more in sailing trim. The shovels meanwhile had been do ing their work, and although the list was not entirely gone the vessel at times, when a sea buttressed her up, floated almost upright. The gale was still blowing, but it had veered to the southward, and on the afternoon of that day Kettle called all his hands on deck and got her under way again and found to his joy that the coal trimmer had some elementary notion of taking a wheel. •'I rate you as mate," he said in his gratitude, "and you'll draw salvage pay according to your rank. I was go ing to make Mr. Philippe my officer, but"— "Don'tapologize," said Dayton-Phil ippa. "I don't know tbe name of one string from another, and I'm quite con scious of my deficiency. But just watch me put in another spell at those infernal pumps." The list was of less account now, and the vessel was once more under com mand of her canvas. It was the leak which gave them most cause for anxi ety. Likely enough it was caused by the mere wrenching away of a conple of rivets. But the steady inpour of wa ter through the holes would soon have j made the ship grow unmanageable and founder if it wae not constantly attend ed to. Where the leak was they had not a notion. Probably it was deep down under the cargo of grain and quite un getable, but anyway it demanded a constant service at the pumps to keep it in check, and this the bone weary crew were but feebly competent to give. The dreaded day, fickle as usual, saw fit to receive them at first with a smil ing face. During afternoon there rose the brown sails of a Portuguese fishing (schooner, and Kettle headed toward her. Let his crew be as willing as they wotild, there was no doubt that this murderous work at the pumps could not be kept up for a voyage to England. If he could not get further re-enforce ments, he would have to take the ship into the nearest foreign port to barely gave her from sinking. And then where would be his sighed lor salvage ? Woe fully thinned, he thought, or more probably whisked away altogether. Captain Kettle had a vast distrust for the shore foreigner over questions of law proceedings and money matters. So he made for the schooner, hove his own vessel to and signaled that he wished to speak. A boat waa slopped into the water from the schooner's desk, and ten swarthy, ragged Portuguese fishermen crammed into her. Two or three of them had a working knowledge of Eng lish ; their captain spoke it with fluent inaccuracy, and before any of them had gone aft to Kettle, who stood at the ' wheel, they had heard the whole story of the ship being found derelict and very naturally were anxious enough by some means or other to finger a share of the salvage. Even a ragged Portu guese baccalhao maker can have his ambitions for prosperity like other peo ple. Their leader made* his proposal at once. "All right-a, captain. I see how you want. We take charge now and take-a you into Ferrol without you be ing at more trouble.'' "Nothing of the kind," said Kettle. "I'm just wanting the loan of two or three Hands to give my fellows a spell or two at that pump. We're a bit short handed, that's all. But otherwise we're quite comfortable. I'll pay A. B.s wages on Liverpool scale, and that's a lot more than you dagos give among yourselves, and if the men work well : I'll throw in a dash besides for 'bacca money.'" "Ta-ta-ta," said the Portuguese, with a wave of his yellow fist. "It cannot be done, and I will not lend you men. It shall be as I say—we take-a you into Ferrol. Do not fear-a, captain. You Shall have money for finding sheep; yon shall have some of our salvage." Dayton-Philipps, who was standing near and knew the little sailor's views, looked for an outbreak, but Kettle held | himself in and still spoke to the man civilly. "That's good English you talk," he j said. "Do all your crowd understand thG i language?" "No,'' said the fellow readily enough. "That man does not, nor does he nor Mm." "Right-o," said Kettle. "Then as those three men can't kick up a bobbery at the other end they've just got to stay here and help work this vessel home. As for the rest of you filthy, stinking, scale covered cousins of apea, | over the side of the vessel you go before you're put. Thought you were going to steal my lawful salvage, did you, you crawling, yellow faced —all!" The hot tempered Portuguese was not a man to stand this tirade, as Kettle j anticipated, unmoved. His fingers made ( a vengeful snatch toward the knife in his belt, but Kettle was ready for this and caught it first and flung it over board. Then with a clever heave he picked tip the man and sent him after the knife. He tripped up one of th<f Portuguese who couldn't speak English,) .dragged him to. the cabin companion and toppled him down the ladder. Day ton-Philipps, surprised at himself for abetting such lawlessness, captured a second in like fashion, and the English fireman and coal trimmer picked up the

third and dropped him down an open hatchway into the grain in the hold be neath.

But there were six of the fishermen left upon the deck, and these did not look upon the proceedings unmoved. They had been slow to act at first, but when the initial surprise was over they were blazing with rage and eager to do murder. The Italian and the Sierra Leone negro ran out of their way on to ihe forecastle head, and they came on, Vainglorious in numbers and armed with their deadly knives. But the two English roughs, the English gentleman and the little English sailor were all of them men well accustomed to take care of their own skins. The belaying pins out of the pinrail seemed to come by instinct into their hands, and not one of them got so much as a scratch.

It was ail the affair of a minute. It iloes not do to let these little im promptu scrimmages simmer over long. In fact, the whole affair was decided in the first rush. The quarter of Eng lish went in, despising the dagos and quite intending to clear them off the ship. The invaders were driven over-

board by sheer weight of blows and prestige, and the victors leaned on th© bnlwark, puffing and gasping, and watched them swim away to their boat through the clear water below. "Set of blooming pirates," said Ket tle. But Dayton-Philipps seemed to view the situation from a different point. "I'm father thinking we are the pi rates. How about those three we've got on board? This sort of press gang work isn't quite approved of nowadays, is it, skipper?" "They no speakee English?" said Kettle dryly. "You might have heard me ask that, sir, before I started to talk to that skipper to make him begin the show. And he did begin it, and that's the great point. If ever you've been in a police court, you'll always find the magistrate ask, 'Who began this trou ble?' And when he finds out, that's the man he logs. No, those fishermen won't kick up a bobbery when they get back to happy Portugal again, and as for our own crowd here on board, they aren't likely to talk when they get ashore and have money due to them." "Well, I suppose there's reason in . that, though I should have my doubts about the stone mason. He conies from Sierra Leone, remember, and they're t great on the rights of man there.'' "Quite so," said Kettle. "I'll see the stone mason gets packed off to sea again in a stdkehold before he has a chance of stirring up the mud ashore. When the black man gets too pampered, he has to be brought low again with a rush." "I see," said Dayton-Philipps, and then he laughed. "There's something that tickles you, sir?" "I was thinking, skipper, that for a man who believes he's being put in the way of a soft thing by direct guidance from on high you're using up a tre mendous lot of energy to make sure the Almighty's wishes don't miscarry."

"Mr. Philipps," said Kettle gravely, "it was understood when he let me know I was to have this chance I was to do my human utmost to carry it through myself. God sends us all into this world with hands and heads, and he isn't pleased with a man who doesn't put these to their proper uses."

The three captive Portuguese were brought up on deck and were quickly induced by the ordinary persuasive methods of the merchant service officer to forego their sulkiness and turn to diligently at what work was required of them. But even with this help the heavy Bhip was still considerably under manned, and the incessant labor at the pumps fell wearily on all hands. The day, true to its fickle nature, changed on them again. The sunshine was swamped by a driving gray mist of rain, the glass started on a steady fall, and before dark Kettle snugged her down to single topsails, himself laying out on the footropes with the Portu guese, as no others of his crew could manage to scramble aloft with so heavy a sea running.

The night worsened as it went on. The wind piled up steadily in violence, and the sea rose till the sodden vessel rode it with a Itery babel of shrieks and groans and complaining sounds. To ward morning- a terrific squall pow dered up against them and hove her down, and a dull rumbling was heard in her bowels, to let them know that once more her cargo had shifted.

For the moment even Kettle thought that this time she was gone for good. She lost her way and lay down like a log in the water, and the racing seas roared over her as though she had been a half tide rock.

Then to the impact of a heavier gasp of the squall the topgallant masts went, and the small loss of top weight seemed momentarily to ease her. Kettle seized upon the moment. He left the trimmer and one of the Portuguese at the wheel and handed hhnHelf along the streaming decks and kicked and cuffed the rest of

The three captime Portuguese were quick ly induced to forego their eulkinesa. ! [ ! ! 1 j
