WOLVES OF THE SEA
CHAPTER XXII.
15
The Crew Decides,
Except that ninny of the tnrn re
mained nrmcd there wns no suggestion
of violence. Hut for the gleaming car
ronndc trulneil on the miiln hatch, iiutl
the small proup of gunners clustered
bout It, the scene v:is peaceable
enough, resembling the (leek of some
merchant ship. I.eVere stood motion
less at the poop rail, staring down iiml
his nttltude anil expression of face
it roused within me it doubt of the iiuin,
a determination to put him to the test.
Evidently he lintl held nloof mill re
frnlned front inking even the slightest
part fn our activities. The men them
selves were mostly forward, grouped
together nnd still excitedly discussing
tho sltuntlon.
"Stand by to reef topsails," I shout
ed. ''Wu're all one watch now. Go itt
It lively, luils, and when the Job Is
over we'll eat, and decide together
what's our next move. Two of you
will bo enough to guard the hutch and
one of you go Into the cabin and re
lieve the girl there. Keep your eyes
open. I'll be down presently. Aloft
with you and see how quick it Job you
can make of It."
Wntklns led the way up the main
mast ratlines, and Cole was first Into
the for shrouds, the others following
eugerly. 1 watched them lay out on
the yards and was' heartened to hear
the fellows sing us they worked, the
canvas melting nway as If by malc. I
climbed the ladder to where I.uVerc
stood on the poop, but carefully
Ignored his presence, my gaze on the
scene aloft. Twice 1 gave orders,
changing the steering direction slight
ly, and commanding the lower sails
reecd. The mulatto scowling, Joined
me at the rail.
"Whnt's all this about?" he asked.
"That's no storm cloud yonder."
'There Is always danger In fog," I
answered coldly, "and besides there Is
no use carrying on until we know
where wo arc bound. My purpose Is
to keep tho men busy, and then talk
the situation over with them. Have
you any criticism of this plnu, Senor
LeVerel"
He hesitated, but his eyes were nur
rowed, nnd ugly.
"You'll do ns you please, but you
told me ve sailed for I'orto Grande.
Was that n lie?"
"Not necessnrlly," and I smiled
trimly. "Although I should not have
hesitated to tell one under the clrctim
stances. I mean to leave that decision
to the men themselves. It Is their
lives that are In danger."
"That scum I half of them arc Kng
llsh und French. All they wnnt Is to
Ket nway; thoy will never go bnck to
Porto Grande without you muke
them."
"How make them?"
"Hy false observations; there Is no
navigator forward. It Is a trick easy
enough to piny with a little nerve. I
would never hnve taken part In this
mutiny If I had supposed you meant
to play Into the hands of the men."
"It Is very little pnrt you took Senor
LeTcre, Judging from whnt I saw. you
seemed quite content to stand lift here
and look on. However you ore In It
Just as deeply as I nm, and ore going
to play the game out with me to the
end. Do you understand that?"
"What you mean, senor play It
out?"
"Go on with the rest of us; take
your chance with the men nnd do your
fluty. I am captain here. The first
sign of trenchery on your part will
send you below with those others. I
don't trust you, nnd all I want Is an
excuse to put you out of the way so
be careful what you do."
I turned and walked awny from him
toward the forward rail. The men
were still aloft but coming In from off
the ynrels. Ilclow tut In the door of
the companion, stood Dorothy, her
eyes peering curiously about the de
ported deck. She glanced up and saw
me.
"Mny I cotno up there?" she asked.
"Certainly; let me help you. Stand
here beside me, nnd you can see nil
that Is being done. That's all, lads;
breakfast Is rendy; lay down all ex
, cept the lookout."
we watched while they streamed
down the ratlines and gathered for
ward of the galley, squatting In groups
on the deck. To nil appearances the
fellows hail not n rare In the world,
or any thought of the stirring scenes
Just passed through. Tho girl's hand
touched my sleove, and I turned and
looked Into her face,
"Have you considered Captain 8nn
die)!?" sW asked,
"Why no," In surprise, "he Is help
less helow, bndly wounded."
"Not so budly ns you suppose," she
snld swiftly. "lie Is able to bo up and
about his stateroom. I bean) him
moving, and I believe the steward has
told him what hits occurred on board,
and endeavored to boar a message
from him to those men amidships. I
held my' pistol to his head and locked
him la the pantry. He Is there now,
with the sailor you sent on rtmrd.
That la what I carat on deck to tell
you."
"He ta a danrer, of course, but not a
aerlous oae." I Mid confidently, "It

Is safe enough to leave him undis
turbed at present. The llrst thing 1
need to do Is to satisfy those men. I'll
attend to that now, and then sec to
the proper securing of Sandier., lie-
main here with LeVere while I go for
ward, and watch that he does not at
tempt to go below."
The fellows hall not finished mess,
but I felt the danger of further delay,
und tnlked to them ns they sat on
deck, explaining briefly the entire situ
ation, nnd the causes leading up to the
mutiny. I dealt with the matter In
plain terms, making no apparent effort
to Influence them, yet forcibly com
pelling each Individual to realize what
would be the result of our recapture.
They listened cnrnestly, asking an oc
casional question, and passing com
ments bnck und forth freely nmong
themselves.
I sent Watklns to the cabin for n
roll of charts, and spreading these out,
endeavored as well as I could, to make
clear our probable position and the
nearest point of land. When I had
completed the explanation, and stood
before them awaiting decision, It was
Haines who acted as their spokesman.
"This yore Is Cape llowarth?" he
asked, a grimy thumb on the point In
dicated. "An' yer say It's 'bout a hun
dred and llfty miles west?"
"Yes, about that?"
"An' tbar's no settlement?"
"Some colonists llfty mlles'north Is
nil."
"That's 'bout right." He turned to
the others. "Say mates, this Is how I
figure. We can't go on no long cruise
with all those bloody rats In the hold.
They're bound ter Und some way out
If we give 'em time 'noiigh. For ns I'm

What 'er yer say, inntes? Shall we
run the ol' hooker ashore, an' leave
her thar, while wo tramp the coast?
We're Just a shipwrecked crew. What
say yer?"
Thero was a chorus of approval suf
ficient In volume to satisfy me, and I
nccepted this as a decision.
"All right. Inds," I snld briefly. "In

as tho fog clears and we'll head In for

"When do we divide the swag?"
"Fifty miles off the coast. That's
fair enough, Isn't It? And my shnre
goes to you."
There was n straggling cheer, but I
broke It up with a sharp order,
"Now stand by for work, nil of you.
Watklns and Carter, I wnnt you aft."
CHAPTER XXIII.
The Prisoners Escape.
The two men followed me silently ns
far ns th companion, where we
paused u moment staring blindly about
us Into the fog. Kven the guard at
the main hatch was Invisible.
"Carter, guard this after deck until
Wntklns and I come back. Under no
circumstances permit I.eVere to enter
tbe cabin."
Willi the door closed, wo wero
plunged Into a darkness which ren
dered the Interior Invisible, I won
dered dimly why the man on imsrd
had not lighted the swinging lantern.
I stumbled over something on the
deck, us I groped forward, hut did not
pause until I had lighted the lantern.
It blazed up brightly enough, Its yel
low llame lllumlnntlng tho cabin and
the first thing I saw was the out
stretched figure of the sailor almost
betweca my feet. Wo needed to nsk
no questions, Imagine nothing the
overturned chair, the stricken sailor
told the whole story. Ho had been
treacherously stuck from behind, the
blade driven homo oy a strong hand,
and was dead before he fell to tho
deck, It had been silent, vengeful
murder, and the assassin had left no
trace. Who could It have been? Not
Quasaules surely the steward lacked
both nerve sod strength for such a
39
deed. Then I here was but one to sus
pectSanchez !
I Hung open the pantry door, but
one glnnce Inside told me that Gun
sallies bail vanished. On tbe deck lay
the strands of rope with which he had
been secured' -they had been severed
by u sharp knife, the ends discolored
with blood stains. 1 held these out to
Watkins.
"Cut since the murder," I said, "and
by the same knife. What do you muke
of It. Tom?"
"Well, sir, the thing he'd most likely
try fer wud be ter release them lads
amidships. My Idea Is, sir, be thought
hi J hnve time ter git the bulkhead
door open, before anybody cum be
low he an' the steward, who'd kuow
whar the tools wus. That wus tho
scheme, only we busted In too quick.
That's whar they both art skulklu'
buck In them shadows."
He fitted the smoking Inntern bark
onto tbe shelf to have his hands free
for action, nnd drew a cutlass out of
the urm rack, running one leathcrly
thumb along the blade to test Its
sharpness. Ills eyes sought mine quel
tloniugly. "I'robably your guess Is the right
one." I said soberly. "We'll give It a
trial."
Murder had been committed -'for a
purpose It was the llrst step In an ef
fort to retake the ship. If we were
to retain our advantage there was no
time to be lost ; wo were pitted now
against Sllvn Sanchez, and be was a
leader not to be despised or tempor
ized with; no cowardly, brainless fool.
The passage lending forward was
wide enough to penult of our advanc
ing together and for n few steps the
light dribbled In past us, quite sulll
clout for guidance. I bad been down
this tunnel once before, and knew the
bulkhead was not far away, but the
few steps necessary plunged us Into
profound blackness, through which we
advanced cautiously with outstretched
bauds. No slightest sound warned of
danger and I was already convinced In
my own mind that the refugees were
not lildlny there, when It hnppcned.
Within an .'nstmit we were fighting for
nur lives, fronted not by two men, but
by n score, who Hung themselves curs
ing upon us. Their very numbers and
tho narrowness of the passage was
our only salvation. At first our resist
ance wns blind euniigb, guided only by
the senses of touch and sound. Wo
could see nothing of our antagonists,
although their tierce rush hurled us
backward. I fired Into tbe mass, as
Watklns slashed madly with bis cut-
lass, both managing In some way to
keep our feet. Hands gripped for us,
a bedlam of oaths splitting the air;
yet, even In that moment of pande
monium, I was quick to realize the fel
lows were weaponless, seeking only to
reach nnd crush us with bare bauds.
The same discovery must have come
to the mind of the sailor, for lie yelled
It out dcllantly, every stroke of bis
blade drawing blood. I Jollied him,
striking with the butt of the pistol. We
killed and wounded, the curses of hate
changed Into sharp cries of agony, but
those behind pressed the ndvr.nce for
ward, and we were Inevitably swept
back Into the light of the eablu lamp.
Then I saw faces, hideous In tbe
glare, demoniacal In their expression of
hatred a mass of them, unrecogniz
able, largely of a wild, half-Indian
type, with here and there a bearded
while. Nor were they all bare-handed ;
In many a grip Hashed a kulfc, and
directly fronting me, with n meat
cleaver uplifted to strike, .Sanchez
yelled his orders. Ignoring all others
I leaped straight at hltn, crying to
Watklns as I sprang.
"Hack lad; dash out that light; I'll
hold these devils here a minute:"
1 did God knows how! It was like
no lighting ever I had done before, a
mad, furious melee, amid which I ht
all eon lousness of action, all guid
ance of thought, struggling as a wild
brute, with all the reckless strength of
Insanity. It Is a dim. vague recollec
tion; I am sure. I felled Sanchez with
one blow of my pistol butt ; In some
wuy that deadly cleaver cimie Into my
hands anil I trod on his body, swing
lug the sharp blade with all my might
Into those scowling faces. They gave
sullenly backward; they bad to, yelp
lug and snarling like a pack of wolves,
bucking ut me with their short knives,
I wus cut tigulii ami again. I stood on
quivering llesh, crazed with blood, and
seeking only to kill, I saw faces
crushed In, arms severed, the sudden
spurting of blood from ghastly wounds.
Oaths mingled with cries of agony und
shouts of hate. Then In an Instant the
light was dashed out and nil wus dark.
