“All right, George. That's a fi*r
and sportsmanlike warning. Worry
if I rather slopped over just now. But
If I want you, don't kick If you find
yourself being used. And don't abuse
me later on If you find I’ve run you
in for a scheme that's a bit danger
ous, when an easier one would have
done if you’d offered to help in it de
cently. There, you may run away up
on deck, and have your tea up there
by yourself. Sorry l can't invite you
down while I have mine wffth the
saint and her majesty. I did suggest
it, but old w dy s a great stickler
, lor Moslem etiquette, and it wouldn't
|do at ail for you to come inside our
I sacred inclosure.”
CHAPTcR XVIII.
A Mystery Is Solved.
The night overhead and around was
cotered in with a black velvety dark
ness. unflecked by gleam of moon or
glimmer of star; but the top of every
wavelet of the lagoon was tipped
with pale phosphorescent light, and
every oar stroke stirred up a boil of
pallid flame.
Mr. McTodd lighted his pipe and
hospitably offered* a cake of black to
bacco and an open clasp knife to his
superior officer. “Cut youraejf a All.'
he suggested. “We’re illuminated like
a shop winuow in Sauciehall-st., and
tobacco glow will be lost in the gen
eral magnificence.’’
“I thank you,” said Captain Kettle
civilly; “but I’ve had to drop my pipe
for professional reasons. Rut you’re
quite right about the light. The la
goon's flaring round us like a village
fair, and if any one’s awake on this
side of Africa, and looking out, *e re
here to be seen. So I’ll Just follow
your example, and set fire to a cigar ”
"I wish I'd a holler-plate overcoat
like my ancestor, the Crusader, used
to wear. Tlie Moors’ll be sniping at
us presently, when we draw withir
range of their gas-nipes.”
“Moors or Berbers That head-man
we’ve got on board, who says he's
been to an English college, wants me
to believe that the majority of the
tribes round here are Berbers, and
they’re as harmless as the teachers
in a Quaker Sunday school. The on'.j*
bad men In this section are Moors,
according to' Berjpash."
"Ye neeona' explain further. It*
always been clear since the creature
first stepped up over the side that ye
didna ilk him Miss Bubbs and l
rather fancy him ou'sel's.’
Captain Ketile had a violent com
ment on the tip of his tongue, but
with an effort bit it short and pulled
hard at his cigar.
“Vara huinon us. ’ said McTodd with
a chuckle.
"What’s that?” snapped his su
perior.
“I was just sniggering at mg’
thoughts an’ the beauty of the night.”
"And at what else?”
“Man. I’m no’ the pairson to abuse
the confidence of a leddy. Asa man
of the nicest valrtue yourself, ye
couldna expect it of me. Now could
you?”
Captain Kettle tugged at his cigar,
and stqrcd at the lighted boat com
pass. and then stared out at the night
“Weel, man, I’m fair surprised at
you."
“On account of what?”
“To lairn that you’ve a wish —
though you’ll no’ express In worrds —
that I should repeat to you what the
lassie said.”
“You’ll find yourself over In the
ditch among the fishes if you don't
change your tune.”
“If I’d been a flnnnoier,” -chuckled
the Scot. “I dare have bet saxpance
ye’d have threatened violence like
thnt. or palrpetrsted It. Man, Kettle,
bend your lug so the bands canna)
hear. Ye may pluck up your courage.
The leddv's conversation is the damn
edest dull talk I ever had poured
into ma confidence. It’s all abotir
yourself, and—gosh' man—to star
board and over the quartet. What's
yon?"
It was a bonfire, that suddenly light
ed and spouted up into the sky, anu
was as suddenly eclipsed by the
blackness of the night.
"A flare.’’ said Kettle, “and as they
haven't mineral oil down here that i
know of. I should nay it was some
body firing two handfuls of gunpow
der. Well, it means that one Nigger,
at any rate, is awake and thinking or
us. and that’s better than being dean
and forgotten. Eve* in the boat, men.
and attend to your rowing. Mr. Mr-
Todd and I are quite capable of look
ing after our own personal conveni
ence without your unskilled assist
ance. And, by James! there's an an
swering flare away up on the moun
tain."
‘‘Gosh! It looks as If they’re rous
ing the clans to do us honor. Aweei,
I’ve no immediate use for your rifle*.
Hard work with those rattle-traps ot
engine* has left my hand no’ over
steady. Rut I've brought along s
three-quarter inch spanner, and !r
you’ll bring the boat up to close quar
ters, I’ll show you how It is used by
an expert. Have ye matches? This ;
talking's put my pipe out."
The gig crawled on steadily through '
the night, stirring lambent flames; ana
twice more did flares of gunpowder
among the foot-h*lls of the Atlas call (
notice to the fact that Africa was
awake Captain Kettle steered by
compass alone, and (as the current
was running slowly) had to make a
cast back before he found the Nor- j
man Towers. and even then, so black j
waa the night that the noise of his
oars scraping along he/ plates was
the first advertisement he had of her
nearness. |
• Row steady, men," he ordered,
and coasted down her length, and then
swung the boat under her counter,
and brought up against the ladder
which hung down her farther side.
The heavy reak ladder had rungs
broken, and the davit to which it
hung v ;ir bent outboard
"You, will stay here," he ordered
"ready to push off when I come back:*’
and with that he stepped out on the
grating and ran lightly up the steps.
and disappeared Into the black si
lence of the night.
Presently hls voice called down in
a ghostly whisper from the rah
abort: “Mr McTodd. tall the men
to pass the boat slowly round to the
starboard side. Mind, they're to work
her aioug inch by inch, so as not to
stir the phosphorescence, nnd 1 will
drop them a rope's end overboard to
rfde to, Just level with the break of
the bridge deck. D’ye hear me?"
'Aye, aye.”
“And do you come up on top here
yourself, and bring that spanner
you’re so proud of."
Mr. McTodd's gait was ungainly,
but his oil-soaked slippers made no
sound. Also, being a shipman, he
knew which way to turn and what to
avoid.
“Weel," he said when he joined his
commander, "it’s a flue night, and I
►forget when I enjoyed an evening’s
prosp«*cts more thoroughly. But
when’s the entertainment to com
mence?”
“Hold your tongue, Mac, and listen.
Listen hard.”
Mr. McTodd removed his pipe, open
ed his mouth, and cocked an atten
tive ear.
‘‘Well, what do you make out?"
“I hear a small slap-slapping of
wavelets upon the old girl’s skin, and
a bit of a sough of the wind, auo
you're breathing although 1 reckon
you’re trying to keep it quiet: and' 1
think there’s a yap of a dog—though
inavb* it’s a jackal—somewhere
among those mountains in the far dis
tance.”
"But where arq the Moors who
should be waiting around the corner
to Jump out and cut our throats?”
"I can only hear what I tailed ye.’’
“I can make out no more myselt.
If there were men here in quantity we
ought to hear them breathing, or
rustling, or coughing. Mac, 1 believe
they've played a game on us. W«
came here (both of us. I suppose)
ready for battle, murder, and sudden
death, and it’s my idea the ship’s de
serted.”
“But we’ll go-look-see before 1 O.
K. that,” said the cautious Scot.
"And we'll go together, and stand
bv ready for trouble. But it’s my
idea we shall find none.”
“Aye” said McTodd, reading hie
thoughts, “it’ll look ugly If they’ve
left her. Weel. we may as well begin
where there’ll be the worst smell, and
that’s forrard.”
Section by section tney searched
the Norman Towers. They went
through both firemen's and seamen s
forecastle, and found no living soul
Hatches were off, and they peered inti
the gloom of holds and into the gassy
corners of bunkers. They clattered
down the rusted engine-room ladder,
•nd hunted through shaft-tunnel, putnp
alley, boiler room, and more bunkers.
McTodd climbed aloft aud investi
gated dusty corners behind the donkey
boiler. They went through mesa
j room, galley, pantries, state-rooms;
they hunted through more holds. They
.searched the chart house, and ( as a
last afterthought) the paint store
And nowhere did they find a single
Moor or Berber alive or dead
“This is a beggar,” said Mr. Mc-
Todd.
, “One can understand that they
would go over every bit of her even
more carefully than we have done,
and loot right and left. But the as
tonishing thing to me is; first, the
amount of dirt they have brought on
board; and second, why they shonM
have left It practically all in one
(track. The decks below were com
paratively clean, and they don’t seem
to have been paddling about particu
larly in the cabins, for instance, or
jtha engine-room. But from the port
gangway over yonder there are two
lines of mud and stone splinters going
forward and aft, and then going
thwartshipa as soon as there’s a
chance, and then promenading all the
length of the port, side."
| McTodd scraped a match, stooped
down, and stirred the deposit with
his finger. “There's too much here
for them to brought aboard stuck
etween theii .oes or smeared on their
I sandals. There’s enough depth of
Imud on these decks, Skipper, to grow'
oats, and it looks good. dark, choco
late-colored, fertile soil, too. if ono
raked out some of the splinters of
stone.”
“That rock they were quarrying
from, and which we can't see in thU
darkness. Is chocplate-i-ojored. loo*.
Can you see the loom of the shore-line.
Mac? How far do you make It away
from the ship's side?’’
“I should say a kherb's length."
“That’s exactly my idea. The shore
I here is steep to. and she lies In deep
i water close to it.”
“Rhe's as still as If she was
docked.”
"She is in a dock. I do believe. I've
an idea they’ve lifted th’.t stone, lump
by lump, upon thef* shoulder*, carried
;it down the heath, towed in a big
kherb to act as floating gangway, car
! ried it along that and up the side—
and that’s how that big teak ladder
'got broken, by a rock falling on it.
'Then they’ve shouldered It over the
decks here, dropping bits by the way;
and then they’ve pitched It over the
port side Into the lagoon. There,
were hundreds of them, and there
iwere thousands upon thousands of
j tons of the stone. They were quar
jrying it during all the days, and un
der cover of the night they were tip

and building up a dock wall of rubble

Owen Kettle, master of the ff B. Wan

take what practically amounted to ar
|order from one of hie own underlings,
'and I merely record this one Instance
in which he let Mi. McTodd have hit

to make further explorations.
Finally he swum with a vigorous

CHAPTER XIX.
Violet Forces the Pace.
Nervousness sh Mr. Trethewy, the
mate of the Wangaroo. found outward
expression in his upper lip and nose
Always when spoken to he answered
with a twitch of these organs, and
even when stared at, his nose, which
was of a line Roman mold, would re
spond, in spite Jff all its wearer's most
strenuous efforts to appear unconcern
ed. He was fully aware of his failing
and utterly impotent to cure it; and
If ever a man carried a dally cross
In the sight of all men. Trethewy wore
| his In the middle of his face.
It was this oftlcer, then, who met
,hi» fellow officers of the reconnolter
ing party at the Waugaroo’s gangway,
and for a while he was so violently
contorted by his complaint that speech
was altogether beyond him.
There were moments when Captain
Kettle, who had small enough patience
with this sort of thing, deliberately
barked at the man until he straighten
ed bis lip and Bpoke. But ou this par
tlcular occasion he saw there was
news and dreaded what it might be.
He let his mate down as lightly as
he knew how. He took the cigar
I from his lips, said quietly, “Yes, Mr
Trethewy," and waited. With a su
, preme effort, he did not even stare
at the man, but swung his eyes to the
lagoon, which was now flecked with
phosphorescence, where the tiny
breakers were whipped up by the
land breeze, and waited.
“They’re gone.’’ said the mate, when
at length he had thawed out suffleieui
ly to speak.
"Who have gone?"
The junior officer was stricken with
another spasm worse than the first
and Captain Kettle noted that prac
jticall.v the whole of both watches
were stowed s way In the shadows on
deck, keenly listening. "Now thee,
Mr. Trethewy, get on, man, get on
Who have gone?" .
"The caboodle of them, the mate
blurted. "00-Owner, sister, and
decorative maid. It only you wouldn’t
bustle a man so. sir. I could tell you
all right That dark chap with the
white-man frills has gone with them.
Saint. I think you call him; but as
nobody's introduced me to him, 1 can’t
plng-plng-ping-ping say. I'm not the
sort of officer who sucks Information
about nasseugerc’ guests out of the
steward. I tried to stop 'em. and
couldn’t; and if you think my con
duct’s unsatisfactory, sir, you may
sign me off at the next port we touch
at, and I’ll not oom-ping plng-plaln."
"But. Great JaTaes. mio, where have
they gone?"
“On a cir-clrcular tour round Africa
for anything I know. I did ask miss.
M-T said I hood'd It wouldn t rain, and
they’d And the r ia ls good, and where
were they going? But she plng-piug
wouldn’t bear me. I hen I asked frfir
George, and he told me straight
enough to mind mv own —ping—bally
business As for that stuck-up
maid —’’
"If you don't take care of your
language," said Kettle furiously, "I’ll
King you overboard/ you blooming
limp of incompetence! I leave you In
charge of a steamboat at anchor for
a matter of three hours, and a* soon
as my back is turned you capslzs
every arrangement l have made."
This was obviously unfair, and the
mate who was In reality a young man
or spirit, had every intention of en
tering a vigorous protest; but his in
flrmlty descended on him with re
newed vigor, and left him doubly
[tongue-tied and defenseless under his
superior officer's tornado of words

ilshed up furiously. "Where's Mr.

DREAMS OF DEATH
HIS “SUB” IS KILLED
Employe of Wrecked Starch
Plant Has Presentiment
in Dream
WAUKEGAN, 111., Nov. 30.—With
the removal today of a body believed
to be that of Louis Monday, from the
ruins of the Corn Products Refining
company’s starch plant, it became
knovu that Monday s death resulted
from a dream that Steve Broderick
had on the night before the explosion
that wrecked the plant.
Broderick, an employe in the
starch department, saw in a vision
the destruction of the plant by Are.
He told members of his family about
the dream and said he did not belle-e
he would work. They laughed at him,
but Broderick remained at 'home,
liouis Monday took his place and was
buped in the ruined building.
Twelve d°ad had been accounted
for today. Although Supt. Charles
Ebert insisted there were no more
bodies in the debris, workers were
kept digging in the ruins on the
chance that more might be found. The
condition of six men at the hospital
remained serious today and other
deaths were expected.
MUST WIN MILLIONS
TO PROVE INNOCENCE
Patrick, Freed From Prison, Be
gin# at Once Fight to Prove
Will of Rice
NEW YORK, Nov. 30.—Acting on
the advice of his counsel, Albert T.
Patrick, freed by Governor Dlx after
12 years* imprisonment for the mur
der of William Marsh Rioe, today went
about preparing to offer for probate
the second Rice will, the testament
that was alleged to be a forgery. The
proffer of this will to the surrogate
and the hearing that would be bound
to follow. Patrick said, would be tbe
quickest way to vindicate himself and
justify his pardon by the governor.
Should the will be accepted, It would
mean that it was not regarded as
forged. To obtain the Rice millions
was the motive for Rice’s murder at
tributed by the proßecutiou to Patrick.
In the opinion of Patrick and hla coun
sel, Judge William M. K. Olcott, the
proving of the will automatically
would vindicate Patrick of the murder
charger insofar-aa It would eliminate
the alleged motive for the killing of
the millionaire.
Patrick said that h e did not care so
much about getting control of the
Rice millions as he did about carry
ing out the provisions of the second
will. He said he regarded the provi
sions of that will as a “sacred trust”
put upon him by Rice, and he thought
he would be derelict in his duty if he
did not do everything possible to
carry out the trust.

HYDE IS CONVICTED,
FACES PRISON TERM
New York Chunherki* Found
Guilty of Mitttue of
His Oflice
NEW YORK, Nov. 30.—Despite a
eight spent in the Tombs, Charles H.
Hyde, former city chamberlaia, was
decidedly chipper when he awoke to
day, according to the guards in the
city prison. When a note waa sent
to him asking him what he planned
he sent back word that he would re
fer all inquirers to his lawyers. Ha
declared that the fight had Just be
gun and that he felt confident the
conviction would not stand.
John B. St&nchfleld and Max D.
Steuer, attorney for Hyde, began the
preparation today of papers asking
for a certificate of reasonable doubt.
They will apply for this immediately
after Justice Golf imposes sentence
next Wedneeday, and there was prac
tically no doubt that It would be
granted, and Hyde released on ball
ponding the appeal to the appellate
division of the supreme court.
The application will be made to the
supreme court, but until such certlfl
cate is granted, Hyde must remain in
the Tombs. The penalty for misuse
of his oflice, of which he was convict
ed, is from one to 10 years’ Imprison
ment and a fine of 15,000. This being
Hyde’s first conviction he must be
given an Indeterminate sentence of
not less than one year, but it is for
the court to say whether a fine in to
be imposed in addition.
The celerity with which the Jury
agreed on its verdict waa a surprise
to the eOurt. »Although half 'a doaeii
of the most noted alienists in the
country testified that Joseph G. Rob
in, the material witness against Hyde
was Insane, the Jury preferred to con
sider him an absolutely competent
witness, and convicted the attorney.
