and ho wns the hnpplest, morrlcst llttlo
doctor In tho world.
In tho mornlng n dense wnll of mlst,
rolllng over tho billows from the south
wost, mot tho Sllver Stnr end-on. Hec?
tor, who hnd foollshly taken upon hlm
pclf to nnvlgnto hls own vossel, growlod
steeplly. Hoctor held a Board of Trado
cortlflcnte, and Jack Marsdon could
Btcer a course wlth nny man. Burnana,
tho flrst offlcer, wns a little bootlo
browod fellow, who soldom spoko except
to glvo an order. Hls manln wns tho
collectlon of medusae. sea-wceds and
Bhell-fish. and ho hnd gonernlly a net
tralllng nft nnd a mngnlfylng glass ln
his pdekot. _ '
Tho braylng of the nlren nnd the sud
den slowlng of tho yncht brought Cllvo
and the flrst offlcer on deck. They
flounderod through the wet, chlll mlst
to the brldge wbere Hoctor Btond blow
Ing hls humbed flngcrs nnd Jcrklng at
tho slren cord. ?'?_ ?
"How ls It golng to bo, old weather
wlse?" asked Cllve.
"Thlcker than soup," Bnld Hector.
"Whnt do you thlnk, Mr. Burnnnd?"
Dnno fnced round swlftly. As a rule
the flrst offlcer contentcd hlmself wlth
"Yes" or "No" when nnswerlng a ques?
tion. Thls tlmo the sllent man burst
Into nn itnexpected speech.
"Lot the fog rest slr," he Bald. "It
wlll romaln or llft ns nnture plcases. The
Llzard ls a good way behlnd ub, and I
notlce that our hcnd doesn't polnt to?
wards any North Amerlcnn port. I nm
your servant, slr, nnd I hope I am your

"You're that, Burnand, you mny de?
pend," snld Hector wonderlngly.
"ThnnK you, Mr. Dnno. As your
frlend. nnd doubly so your scrvnnt, I.nsk
what does thls voyage nienn, nnd whore
aro we golng?"
Hector was sllent. Clenrly on nn cx
pedltlon so frnught wlth mystcry. doubt,
and danger, he hnd no rlght to hlde any?
thing from the crew. Thoy wero pald
to navlgate hls yncht, but It wnn not fnlr
to tnke the men Into unknown waters
to face unknown' perlls. lle needed vol ?
unteers, nnd not pressed men. He swifl
ly mnde up hls mtnd.
"Marsdon," ho cnilod, "plpo all hands?
Btokers?everybody."
The whistle rang morrlly. and the
Bornw censed to rovolve. Black faces
nnd whlte fnces, natty serge unlforms
and conl-blackened shirts loomed through
tho fog. Leckburn, plpo In month;
scrambled up boside hls friends.
"Sllence. lads!" shouted Cllvo. "Ordor
there."
Tho vesscl rocked on the swoll. Her
upper spars were lost ln the yollow
gloom, and tho, rlm of hor smoke-stack
was hr.rdly vlslble from tho deck.
"Boys," rang out Hcctor's clear voice,
"you have nll snlled wlth me before.
You hnve seen the Sllver Stnr trlmmed
for nn ordlnary voyage, nnd you know
how she ls trlmmed nnd fltted to-day.
You must guess that wo aro out for a
blg spln."
"Ay, ay, slr; wo know that."
"Wel, Inds," went on Hector, "llsten
to mo. I'm not a blt afrald that you'll
leave me short-handed, but I'll send all
of you back that wlsh to go when you've
heard what I have to say, Thls ls not
a pleasure trlp. We are after treasure."
There was dead sllence, and a great
blllow shouldered up and broke wlth a
denfenlng roar agalnst tho Sllver Stnr's
plates.
"Treasure," repeated Hector coolly,
"gold and jowels by the bushel. It lies
snmowhere ln the Antnrctlc clrcle, and
It is no chlld's play to flght tho lee.
Everyono wlll recelve trcblo pay from
the moment we slght the flrst Iceberg
golng south untll we slght the last ono
golng north on our return, Over nnd
above that. If wo win the troasuro, It wlll
be dlvlded fnlrly. Remember, the rlsks
nre terrible, but none of you nre mnr
rlod, If we succeed you wlll nll bo mado
for life. There's your chance to return
to port. Do you henr It?"
"Oiieh-noitch-oo-oo-oouch!" brayed a
siren through the fog.
"Come, lads. icomo," crled the baro?
net, "who's for port, nnd wTio'b for Perll
Island? Full pny, n full dlschargo, nnd
u oxtrn flver for all who wnjit to leavo

Mnrsden's deop, honest laugh camo up,
ollowed by thn nnswer:
"Thero nln't any, Slr Cllvoj not
blessed ono."
"Whnt nbout tho Starvor?" asked
Hector, evoklng a ronr of laughtor,
"Ho's all right, snh; ho nll rlght, ho

Rtandln' by wld a belnyln' pln, nnd If

'Then you menn to stlok to tho Sllvor
Star, lads?"
"Ay, ay, sir,"
"Hlp, hip, hlp!" ronrerl Leckburn, and
thron nf the best to fnllow."
"Hurrah, hurrah, hurrah!"
CHAPTER XVT,
I Inokod upon the rottlng shlp
And drow my eyes away,
1 Innked upon tho rottlng deck
. And there tho denjl man lay.
?Colerldgo.
T.ord Leckburn buttoned.up hls thlck
-orcoat, and brought hls long llmbs
Into strldo wlth tho shortor ones of
Cllvo and Hector.
"Meo," ho snld, wlth a noto of serlous
ness ln his volco, "thls Is whore we
ought to pnuso and thlnk."
"Don't tlre yourself, sonny," laughed
tho onplaln of t'he Sllvor Stnr.
"I won't. I'm the only married man
nboard Hoo. Here we aro, sovon hun
droil mlles south of tho Horn. Whnt
shnll we flnd? What good wlll lt bring
US? How long nre we golng to stay

Ilcclnr gronned aloud.
J'On'e at n tlmo, me lud, ono at a
tlme,, fnr tho love of plty, Look hero,
I'll unswor tho wholo Jot nt ono go nnd
l"t you both off your promlses. lf- you
want to go back, go back. Ned I have
Placed ln command. Do what you llke.
I leave you to It."
Ho turned on hls heel and wopt bo
low.
"Poor old Hoo ls luiffy." Bald Cllve.
"'i Keoms good sense to 'bout shlp, but
wo II brcak hls heart If we do, Tho mon
are stuiincli, They aeem to want to soo
lt through,'*
"l don't enro a rnp, Cllvo. J'm en
tough that l don't thlnk you could bowj

for them. Justloo l? JtiBtlco, my boy,
A mnn owns hls own llfe If ho owns
nothlng eltte. I'll go on os long an you
llke, or as long as the men llke; hut the
moment ono of them protests, wo must
put our noso north ngaln, We have no
rlght to tako theso lads Into dnnger
ngalnst tholr wlll. They are not aol
'dlors."
Clivo nodded.
"That scttlcs It," he nnswered. "At
Iho flrst protest we turn back, barrlng
tho Starvor, old chap,"
It wns a wiso and honornblo declslon.
Before them lay the unknown, and tho
unknown Is alwaya torrlblo. Cortalnly
fearless henHs?mon whoso nnmoH wlll
nover dlo even whon ovory lnoh of tho
onrth hns beon explorod?hnd salled
ulong tho rim of tho oternnl southern lee
and vlewed tho flres of Ercbus and Ter

penetrnte tho adamantlno' crystnl bar
rler, flghtlng wlth cold nnd sctirvy and
donth, bul the ovorlnstlng Ico Klng wns
stlll the lord and conquoror.
"I was thinklng of what you told me
the other day, Ncddy," said Clivo.
"Whnt wns that, my son? I sny lots
of things."
"About Grnydon Garth. How wlll ho
flnd you If ho wnnts you?"
"My son," said Lockburn, "I am not
fool enough to thlnk thnt Clrnydon Garth
wlll evor wnnt mo except that he Is fond
of me. No man Is Indlspcnsoblo to
Graydon Garth. Hls frlcndshlp ls the
Jewei I value hlghest ln thls world ex?

I have thought hlm more thnn humnn.

thunderously. "My boy, were I In Mars
he would flnd me If he nnoded me.
."I thlnk thnt Is why I am nevor afrnld.
I owe hlm my Ilfo a score tlmes over.
My llps are senlcd, or f could tell you
storles thnt only your friendshlp for mo
would mnkc you crcdlt. Other people
would laugh. They would not cnll mo
a liar, for I nm rather too blg for tho
ordlnary person to Insult. They would
have thelr oplnlon nll tho same. But I
have not broken any pledge to my lord
Gnrth by maklng , thls extrnordlnary
vcrynge. If he needs mo. ns I told you,
he wlll flnd- me." '
;. Cllve wns .nllRnt,. Then he said:
"Ihave.a^llttln trump card up my
sloeve, Neddy. but I enn't tell you tho
color or tho value Just yet. By Jove,
Isn't that splendld?"
A tim ot silver llght flnshed upwnrds
In tho sotithem sky. It filled tho groy
heavens, flnshed from silver to yellow,
to plnk, to crlmsOn. to dnzzllng gold. nnd
then dled . out. . Above them blazed the
Southern Cross, and the chlll brenth of
the ctcrnnl lee wns wnfted Into thelr
fnejes ncross the mysterlous sllence of
the darkonlng sea.
It was, a tlme and place to make men
thlnk. Leckburn thrnw nwny hls cTgnr.
They were nearlng the Ick gates of the
great unknown.'-' A week would. If all
went well;' brlng them to the crystnl
portnls whero nature crlcs to puny man:
"Stnnd back! Fly, If you would IIve. for
If you advanco I must play you! Thls Is
the lone land of Ico overlastlng, moro
bltter, more nwful thnn the Icy reglons
at the othor end,of the earth. Beware
In tlme, for here no m.in cnn llve!"
The watch had been doubled. for sev?
ral Icebergs hnd been slghted. The
chnrt showed tho South Sbethinds to bc
near. Over nnd over agaln they had dls?
cussed Juan Gasknra's dlroctions. The
latltude and longltudo of the old plmte
were.utterly lmposslble. What humin
bclngs bad over- found such a spot ns
the Intcrsectlon .of these two Irnaglnary
lines would depote?
Thero was a passage "clear ln Mny,"
Clear of what? The answer could only
be Ico. The "Flame Mountnln'' mlght
he Erebus, Terror, or perhnps some un
dlscovered volcnno of the Antarctlc re?
glons. The nlght seals' thundcr wns
deflnlte enough, but what of the blood
wnter, nnd tho current that smoked?
Thelr only hope was to push south and
trust to tlme and luck to solve tho myu
tery. Black Juan's dlrections were loo
hnzy, vngue and Indeflnlte to stccr any?
thing except a bllnd man's course by.
Tlme was not allowed to hnng hcavily.
I.eckburn nnd Hector woro too wiso for
thnt, They organlzed games nnd th'ea
trlcals. Thoro was a plnno ln tht
fo'c'slo ns well as nft. Ruby hnd got a
band togother, nnd tho dln they mnde
when they practlsed wns nlmost enough
to make tho englnes go out on strlke.
Tho Starvor presldcd over tho blg driun,
whlle Mumps, a I.nscar, regularly blow
hlmself Into a persplrntlon wlth a trom
bone. Every man had the full nm nf
the llbrary, and thoy wore supplled with
a whole compendlum of games.
On the eloventh tho flrst great snow
storm broko over tho Silver Star, nnd
she encountcred mountalnouB so.ir. The
cold was terrlblo. Furfl were served out,
and tho olectrlc stoves were kept bur.i
lng throughout tho Bhlp, So tremendous
was the fall that It was dlfilcult to koep
tho deck clear.. For flve days the whlto
flakes pottrcd down from a lenden sky,
Then It cloared, nnd the heavens blazed
wlth constellntlons, whllst tho Southern
Aurora danced nnd flnshed nnd glittered
In sheets of colored llght.
They met at dlnner, On dcok tho
thermomoter reglstered twonty-threa d>
grees of frost, Thoro was not a rlpplo
on the wnter, and. tho bltlng alr was
stlll and clear. Ruby was vearlng no
loss than seven walstcoata, and tlu
Starvor looked llko a human balloon
perchod on two short, fat legH.
"I'm not a blg traveler llke Ned and
you, Hoc," said Slr Cllvo, ,.b ho strug
gled wlth a pat of butter snrnewhat less
hard than a bullet, "but how Is lt wo
have mot so few bergB? I thought theto
seas swnrmed wlth them."
"Bo they do, as a rulo, eonny. A lack
of joeborga means a cold summer."
"There may be another reason," s.iid
hls lordshlp. "The water seems utterly
dead. When we wero lylng to yesterday
to olear the furnaces I notload that tho
cindera dld not budgo a peg whon they
were afloat. Wo are apparepty out cf
the track of currents, in a kind of wntery
Islnnd."
'?'More wlsdom," grlnned Cllve. "Vou
are great men both. What If thoro
aren't any bergB to get afloat?"
"Bolmy!"
"Oh, shut up," said Cltve. "What
does anybody know about tho irle?
Don't talk so much, It's freezlng llko
Old Horry. Watch me nnd cover your
cars up ln case of frpst-blto. Ruby, a
plece of atrlng." '
"Yaas, Massa Sah Cllve, sah!"
Cllvo tled tho strlng to bls servlette.
There were crlos of protest as he open?
ed tho por.hole. The cold air that rushed
ln hurt thelr throats and nostrlls. Cllvo
let the seryiette danglo out, and llfted
lt drlpping.
v "Feel that, Ned; feol |t, Heo, qulckly."
"ByJove," crted Leckburn, "It's ul
