THE AKGUB, THUBSDA 7. JANUARY 7. 1897.
CHAPTER I In 1834 the Queen,
clipper bark, leaves Sydney, Aus
tralia, with treasure. There are ten
male paasengers and five women.
II She is chased by a cntter, which
pats on board James Murray, who
wishes passage to England. Ill A
steamer follows. Police board the
Queen to arrest Murray, who is ab.
sconnding with money. Murray
commits suicide. IV, V and VI It
has been discovered that the arms
cheit of the Queen has been robbed
VII and V1H The captain orders
the rooms to be searched, but noth
ing is fonnd. IX and X Miss Mar
garet Mansel, a passenger, overhears
a plot of the pirate ten to eeize the
vessel. She is gagged and thrown
overboard. XI, Xll and XIII The
pirate ten seize the vessel and turn
the crew adrift in a boat.
CHAPTER XVI.
the mate's boat.
All night Iour aboard the brig a
smart lookout wus kept. Boldock was
of opinion that the Quoen was not above
80 or 40 miles ahead of the Willesley.
She was going right ahead, he conjee
tured, by the circumstances of the girl
having flonted in a beo line to the brig's
cutwater. He was of opinion with Mr.
Hardy that when the tin men rose to
seize tho Queen they would not find the
field en easy walk. They might be
worsted, in which case there would be
loss of life more or less considerable,
and Boldock, whose imagination was
tolerably active, ligurcd the Queen
rounding up in the wind ami lying all
aback helpless, Benson shot down, her
mates dangerously wounded, and piratic
passengers and seamen of tho bark
bleeding about tho decks .in dying ago
nies. So a smart lookout was kept for any
shadow of ship blotting the stars of the
horizon of that fine night, for any blue
or crimson ball of distress spangling the
dusk with n sailing constellation. Bnt
nothing showed, and when the dawn
broke the sea stretched a baro breast,
allow to the sulphur light northeast.
"We are pretty well off for small
arms, I think, Mr. Stubbing?" said the
commander.
"The natives'll find us well off
enough, I daro say, sir," answered the
boatswain, with a grin.
"About a dozen of muskets, I think,
and twice that number of cutlasses?"
"That's about it, 6ir. "
"You might like to hear me tell an
extraordinary story of the sea." said
the commander in his deep and plaint
ive voice. "All hands should have the
news. It may engender some deviation.
But if wo can recover a noble ship, the
lives of n number of passengers and a
little mountain of nuggets from the re
morseless clutches of ten broken down
gentlemen whose ideas of humanity are
exemplified by their conduct toward the
lady whom we picked up yesterday
morning, all hands of us, Mr. Stnbbins,
Will descrvo well of onr country."
Ho then gave the boatswain the story.
Mr. Stnbbins listened, with a face dull
with wonder, head hung as he trudged
by the commander's side, mouth open,
eyes askew, lifting at tho jolly, hot
flaming countenanco beside him.
"It's about tho rammiost looking job
aa ever I've heard tell of,'' said the
boatswain. "Passengers too! Cuddy
-doing tho forecastle work! My, now! If
Jack don't mind his eye, he'll lose his
reputation. Ten bush nippers of a com
pany and not a sailor of tho ship in the
job! Well, all lean say is let Jack mind
his eye. "
The commander nttered three or four
'ha, ha's!" like deliveries through a
peaking trumpet,
"And it ain't known, I allow, where
they're going to carry the ship to, sir,
if they succor d in seizing her?" said
Stnbbins.
"The lady says she heard them speak
of an island. They pronounced the
name. Unhappily she cannot recollect
it; also she heard them speak of a brig
antinu and one Saunders. That's intel
ligible. The vessel will rendezvous off
the island to receive the booty out of
the ship, which the scoundrels will
' probably wreck. "
"It'll be a wonderful piece of order
ing, sir,'' said Mr. Stnbbins after a
pause, "something proper to make a
man thoughtful in his prayers, if so be
it should happen that the young lady
the men think drowned dead should be
the hinstrumeut nf delivering them in
to the hands of justice."
"If those ten men seize the bark, sir, '
said Mj. Hardy, "they'll surely not at
tempt to carry her round the Horn."
"They'll make for that island whose
name the young lady unhappily can't
remember," said the commander.
"In that case," said Mr. Hardy,
"they may shift their helm and cross
onr hawse within bailing distance. "
"What good would that be:" ex
claimed tho commander. Mr. Hardy
leered at the gun. "A nine pounder!"
aid Boldock, folding his arms, ad
vancing one leg and eying the gun in
the attitude Napoleon I is usually pic
tured in.
"Weight enough there to bring down
mast, sir," said the mate.
"The Queen's a witch ; she sails two
feet to our one, man ; it would be touch
and away with her while you were try
ing to bring that piece to bear. Our on
ly chance in that way lies in blood hav
ing been shed aboard in fact, Mr.
Hardr. in the ship being thrown into
confueiou by the demon of carnage. She
comes to a stand head to wind all shak
ing. In that cendkiou we may hope to
sight her; in none ether."
It was a little before 11 o'clock the
same morning when the sailors wit
nessed a sight novel indeed aboard the
WelU sley. First of all Mr. Hardy came
up the companion hatch hugging an old
fplrting chair to his heart. He opened
aud set it down in the great rolling
shadows east by the trysail; then
through the skylight received a couple
of pillows, which he placed in the chair
with ceremony, patting and smoothing
them. A little later the figure of the
command! r uprose, backing and stag
gering as he assi-ted the young lady to
mount the steps. Hie moved slowly.
She was weak and needed the help of
his strong and gentle hand.
She came out of tho hatch into the
flying sunshine, with a frown at the
brilliance, but a smile that showed her
white teeth as she drank in the liberal
rush of wind that whistled in her pale
lips. The sailors forward stared. They
had seen hrr lifted oat of the aa, a
dreuchrd and streaming body, ghastly
with its pag mid black liues of hrine
glued hair, and now they beheld a line
figure of a young woman clad in crim
son with a rope of colors rcuud her
waist. Her hair was coiled dowu upon
her head, and its abundance was mani
fest in spite (if the round, white canrr.s
cap that pave a new character to her
eyes, enlarging them and deepening
their sift, luminous glow.
Yet poor Miss Margaret easel look
ed exceedingly pale, aud any OM cutild
have seen that she was fn h from a
violent shock or a dangerous illness.
She had been admired by some of the
gentlemen aboard the Queen, partiru
larly by Mr. Masters. She was without
beauty; but her features held a grace
Which brought them near to it. On
board the Queen she had chiefly pleased
by her pensive expression, her habitual
down and thoughtful regard, so that
the faint bloom on her cheeks was often
shaded by the long lashes of the upper
lids. They had also considered her teeth
and figure unusually good, and her hair
very fine.
- She was tall and stood up bravely,
holding by the companion hatch, to the
admiration of Mr. Hardy, and when
she had gained the deck Commander
Boldock let go her hand.
"I feel now that I am alive indeed,"
she said as she looked aloft with a bright
glance and then 6miled at Boldock.
"It is ladies' weather very charm
ing," said the commander. "Let me
seat yon."
He led her to the folding chair, and
Mr. Hardy laid a rug over her knees.
She smiled with gratitude at both men.
"This is a little ship after the
Queen," said she. "Where is this fine
wind driving us?"
"We are bound to a part of the ocean
where there are rocks and shoals whose
position is improperly shown on the
charts. Thatdone," continued the com
mander, "wo shall then proceed to sur
vey certain islands. We then return to
Sydney. We are at present off our
course. ' '
"ft Will bo hard upon me," said Miss
Mansel, "to return to Sydney. I have
no money. The little I had was in my
box in tho Qneen. All that I possess in
clothes, books, keepsakes aud other
things was in that ship. I suppose they
are lost forever. "
"We shall not allow such considera
tions to bo a trouble to us," said the
commander stoutly, a brave smile mak
ing bis wide sunset of face as engaging
as if he were handsome, "on so bright
a day as this, nnd with tho memory of
your deliverance as green as yesterday
morning can let it be."
She hung her head, touched by the re
buke, and her eyes filled with tears.
Jlr led hrr to thr folding chair.
Bnt this, fortunately for the command
er's sensibility, he did not observe. He
was gazing earnestly at the sea ahead.
"It would be a prniiigious satisfac
tion." said he. "if yon could recollect
the nam- of the island. Was it" and
he named great number of the islands
of tbe Polynesian groups, including
reefs and barriers.
"It was that of a person. It was it
was" She strained her memory with
closed eyes and then said, "It will
come. "
"Tbe necessity for your remember
ing it," said the commander, bowing
and smiling with an air of fine, old
world. Quarter deck rallantrr. "will
give me the best excuse in the world for
keeping you on board tbe brig. "
She glanced at her dressing gown and
looked with some confusion away.
" Why, ' ' said he, reading her thoughts
and beginning to strut up and down
within easy chatting distance, "if I
could get hold of their place of rendez
vous, we might fall in with the Queen
herself. Then all your property would
be restored to you. Wo may presume
there would be somebody on board fit to
take charge of the vessel to England. "
"If those ten men seize tbe ship,"
said the girl, "what will they do with
the passengers?"
"Hum!" said the commander. "If we
are to accept their manner of dealing
with you as a specimen of their method
and skill then if those ten fellows have
successfully risen I would not give
much for any lives in their power. "
"You don't think" cried the girl,
with a shudder, and then stopping
while she looked up at him with eyes
of dismay and horror, her figure half
starting from its resting posture.
"I think it may end in your discov
ering," said tbe commander with a
smile, "that you are the best off of
them all."
' 'There were several ladies. "
"You are a lady, but that did not
seem to appeal to them," said Boldock
in a deep, lamenting voice.
"The wretches, to throw me into the
sea, gagged and almost choked! What
had I done?"
Boldock paused in his walk and stared
at the ocean in silence. Miss Mansel s
words bad roused the spirit of roast
beef in him. She saw his face hard,
with that heart of England which no
nation can resist at sea. It was the
working, burning, triumphing face of
the boarder who waits for tMe instant
of collision to spring into the chains.
"I sincerely trust, " said he, breaking
with a jerk of head out of his fighting
mood, "that you will remember the
name of the island or that we shall fall
in with the Queen. I have seen a few
men hanged. ' '
His gaze went thoughtfully to his
weather main yardarm, and there rest
ed, as though he considered height
and scope of fall. His sight was still
aloft, when a cry from the fore topmast
crosstrees made him start.
"Sail ho!"
"Where away?" bawled Mr. Hardy,
running forward and let ring.
"Broad on the lee bow," answered
the voice high in the song of the wind.
"I see her, sir," thundered Boldock
He lifted the immense brass telescope
off its brackets and resting it on the
rail took aim at tbe working breast of
soft dark waters on the port bow.
"It is no ship," said he, "but a boat
with a shoulder of mutton sail. One of
tho Queen's boats for a million! If 6o,
the ten men have seized her, and where
is she':"'
He handed the glass to Mr. Hardy.
Tho girl rose to look, and tho com
mander, seeing she needed support,
gave her his arm.
The brig was thrown up into the
wind, the boat was cleverly sheered
alongside, her sail melting into the bot
tom of her as she rounded, with a sea
man in her bow stretching out his hands
to catch tbe rope's end.
Miss Mansel shrieked.
"It is Mr. Matthews," she said to
the commander. ' 'He is the chief mate
of the Queen, and tho men are five of
the crew of the vessel. "
"Then the ten have stolen the ship,"
said Boldock.
There was a smart wabble of sea on,
and the boat danced friskily alongside.
The sailors sprang into the main chains
aud clambered with tbe silent hurry of
shipwrecked men over the rail, Mr.
Matthews staying to call out to Com
mander Boldock, "Will you take this
boat, sir?"
"Aye, she is a good boat We'll hoist
her aboard."
"There's plenty of provisions and
some wine and spirits in her, sir," sung
up Mr. Matthews.
"We'll have them well have them
all. fray come on board.
Mr. Matthews, with a pale, fune:
countenance, watching his chance.
into the main chains, and, with the.
surelinrss which spirits sunk to tho
cidal degree will sober the lim
made his way over the tall bulwark
Meanwhile the five seamen, observi
Miss Mansel, had come to a halt and
were dodging and ducking at her as
they shouldered one another in 20 inimi
table postures.
"Smite me dark if it ain't she her
self, Joe!" said Tom.
"No, no. She's too tall. She ain't got
the other's color, ' 1 muttered Joe, ' 'She's
what they call her factotum her iden
tical. ' '
"It's the girl who was lost, bet your
blooming boots," exclaimed a third
seaman of the Queen.
Mr. Matthews dropped laboriously on
to the deck. Instantly Tom called out :
"There's Miss Mansel. sir."
The mate was slowly walking aft to
the commander when, hearing these
words and seeing the lady, he halted as
though withered by a lightning dart.
Miss Mansel made an effort to approach
the astonished man, exclaiming, "It is
I indeed. Mr. Matthews Miss Mansel
none other. "
"Well. I am bubbled!" whispered
Mr. Matthews to himself in one of the
deepest breaths his luogs ever fetched,
and he went straight up to her. "It
isn't your ghost then, hey?" he exclaim
ed, taking her hand with a half note,
almost comic, of blubbering in his
voice. "Well," said he, so astonished
that his eyes met in a squint as be look
ed at her. ' 'this, to be sure, is among
the miracles. You here! 'Tis enough."
said he, turning upon the commander
and letting go the girl's hand, "to make
the whole previous business feel like a
nightmare out of which the second
mate's going to call me to stand my
watch."
"I am heartily sorry for you, air,"
said Boldock. "Mr. Hardy, let the men
get the stuff out of that boat and hoist
her aboard. Stow her forward. She is a
good boat And Ton will tell i
they have seized the Qneen, sir?" said
he, turning to Mr. Matthews.
"Rose upon us this morning and sent
every mother's son adrift, " replied tbe
mate, with a bewildered look at Miss
Macsel. "But bow do you happen to be
here?"
The young lady had sunk into a
chair, and tbe commander and Mr.
Matthews stood beside her.
"They called me from my cabin,
caught me by the throat, gagged me
and dropped me into the sea," answer
ed the girl, beginning to tremble.
"Who did it?" said Matthews.
"I lielieve I could not swear it
was Mr. Oavenire aud Mr. CaldwelL"
"We found her floating." said the
commander. "Such things have been
heard of, bnt a jockey would call them
top weight among the preservations. "
"Oh. the rogues, the wretches, the
accursed villains!" cried Mr. Matthews,
turning an enraged face toward the sea
over the bow.
"How long have you been adrift?"
said the commander.
"Since 5 o'clock this morning."
"Where are tbe others?" asked the
girl.
"I don't know. We were four boats.
Poole, who was to leeward, slacked his
sheet and went away, and the others
followed, thinking, I dare say, that be
had a sail in sight. The boats can't be
far off. ' '
When Boidock heard this, he went
below and returned with a binocular
glass, which he gave to a man, who
climbed with it on to the main myai
yard and searched the bright, shivering
waters in all directions, bnt he could
see nothing to report.
"A boat is little, and the sea is big,"
said Boldock. "All the people maybe
aboard a vessel whose topmast cloths
are just out of sight of that fellow up
there, and which, therefore, has no
more existence to us than anything ly
ing or not lying in the river Thames at
this moment. "
He spoke with his usual deep note of
remonstrance, and Mr. Matthews look
ed at him.
"Did Cuptain Benson take charge of
the ladies r" said Miss Mansel.
"He is dead," said Mr. Matthews,
with a face of utter gloom.
"Murdered!" exclaimed tbe girl In a
light gusp.
"Why, bo, I believe not. I'm willing
;o give the demons tho benefit of that
doubt," answered the mate. "As I was
stepping over the side I asked where
the captain was, and the fellow Trol
lope, who was standing in tho gangway
with the scoundrel Davenire, answered
quietly, 'He's dead. ' 'Shot, I suppose?'
I said, with look at him. 'I declare,
by my soul before tied,' cried Trollope
so savagely in earnest that his face
black' ned with the blood that rose into
his head, 'that when I told him we had
seised the ship he dropped dead of a fit
upon his cahiu floor.' I believe him,"
said Mr. Matthews. "Benson was the
man to go off so. "
"He had a full ceck and his veins
ran in fire," said Boldock. "I knew
him. A good sailor. "
His nostrils dilated with thought as
he stood in silence watching the pro
ceedings on tbe main deck. Tackles had
been got on the yardarms, the provi
sions and liquor had been banded out
of the boat, which rose and sank along
side ready for hoisting.
"What are they going to do with the
Qneen, Mr. Matthews?" said Miss Man
sel. "I have no notion. Tbe moment the
last boat got away they trimmed sail
with the smartness of old hands and
stood away about south-southeast."
"Sho is scarcely out of sight," said
tho commander, straining his vision
into the compass bearing named by the
mate.
"She is a very fast ship, sir," ex
claimed Mr. Matthews, with a melan
choly shake of his head. "But what in
the name of mercy was their object in
throwing yon overboard?''
Miss Mansel told him the whole story.
He listened with an air of despondency.

"It was the captain's fault," be ex
claimed, breaking ont quickly, with
something of fever in his utterance.

Why didn't Captain Benson have them
all seized? Never a man, never a pas
senger of the ship bnt would have stood
by him had they made a difficulty on
the vessel's arrival. "
"Mr. Matthews," said the courteous,
deep voiced commander, ' 'you are wea
ried. Pray step below and take some
wine and rest," and he led the way,
first calling to Mr. Hardy to give an
eye to Miss Mansel.
Mr Matthews sank upon a leckrr and
bowed his head in his hands.
"I am of opinion, " said tho com
mander, after contemplating him for a
minute or two, "that a glass of bright
red Jamaica would do you more good
than wiue. "
"I would thank you for it, sir," said
the mate, looking up.
Boldock went to his cabin and return
ed with a bottle, took two glasses from
the rack, and into each poured a second
mate s nip. Water wos then added, but
befcre the mate drank he. in a broken
voice, thanked the commander for re
ceiving him and his men and for the
gentlemanly and handsome usage he
was now givinc them. The commander
bow. d and sciiied and drank the other's
health and leaned against a stanchion
and poised his rnddy tumbler, which
came and went in blood red flashes in
his hand as the swing of a ran dart in
the skylight struck it
J can they intend to carry that
ship?" said tbe communderina musing
lamenting voice An i.-land is in their
scheme Th bas heard them name it.
Lnbsppily the name's gone clean out of
her head. "
"Sty notion's this. " said Mr. Mat
thews "I thought of it while in the
boct, audit's confirmed by what Miss
Mansel overheard. Thev'll sail tbe
Queen to some rock cr island in a little
visited sea, and after getting the treasure
ashore they'll wreck the ship Menntime
the brigantine titer talked of will be in
attendance or expected If in anted
ance, I reckon they'll transfer the ch.
at once to her. There'll be j ot and
suspicion, and throats may be cut.'
The commander rolled up his eyes hepe
fully. "It is avast ram, " continued
the mate "Two hundred and eighty
thousand pounds' worth of ore and dust.
It sickens my soul to think of such a
conspiracy, and we so blind Benson so
blind. "
He smote his forehead and struck his
thighs and gave way to many other
gestures expressive of helpless wrath.
"I'll step on dck." said Bolel.vk.
"and see what my people are about
Meanwhile I reoommmd you to lie
down and sleep."
