Inoat in when one of { northerly ally steep stairs with break-neck speed, until they reached the ofl-room, with its thousands of gallons stored in great tanks. Big empty tins stood there,.awaiting the mext visit of the tender, and Brand wrenched the cover off the ngarest cistern, He scooped up a tin- ful ofthe oil. "Bring all you can carry," he shout ed, and was off again with an energy that was wonderful in a man who had endured the privations and hard ships of so many hours, They understood. Why had mone of them thought of it earlier? In its cold granite depths the lighthouse carried that which had the power to subdue the roaring fury of the reef. | The first man to reach the gallery | after Braid was Pyne, who chanced to he nearest to him when the hub: bub arose.

So the colsa Tel in litle of smooth tranquility into the void be- neath, and, before Stanhops had pilot: ed 'his boat half' the remaining dis- tance, the wavecwrents & bout the rock ceased to toss ir yellow manes so high, and the high- pitched masses of foam vanished com- pletely. ; The seamen stationed fn the en- trance were astonished by the rapid- ity of the change. In less than a min ute they found they were no longer blinded by the spindrift cast by each upward rush right into the interior of | the' lighthouse. The two nearest to ithe door looked out in' wonderment. What devilment was the reef hatche ing now, that its claws 'should relax their clutch on 'the pillar and its icy spray be withheld? Each wave, as it struck to west ward of the column, divided itself into {wo roaring streams which met exact: 1} Xhere the iron rungs ran down the wall, the opposite forces and: a further up- ward rearing, fore the L give place to its successor.

He was sD expert swimmer and diver, and he believed that by clinging 1 to the face of the rock, he had the requisite stg of hings and sinews to resist one if not more of these watery avalanches. : : "The rope aroutif his waist was held the tug. The instant he made leap, the men with him were to back water, the crew at the drag ta Haul for all they were worth, and consequently pull the boat clear of the next wave 'ere it broke. That is why he selected a-handy craft in piace of the life-boat 'offered to him as 800 as his resolve was whispered ashore. it was on rapidity, quick judszment, the utilization of seconds, thai he de- lite-boat not only detracted from these all-important considerations, but made {t more than probable that she would be capsized or touch the reef. For the same reason he timed his approach on the riging tide. He could venture nearer to the lighthouse ii- self, and 4he boat could be rowed and dragged more speedily into safety. With him, too, were men who knew every inch of the Gulf Rock." He knew he could trust them to the end. Although he had mapped out his programme io the last detail, Brand's inspiration in using the oil created a fresh and utterly unforeseen set of conditions. Mountainous ridges still danced fan- tastically up and down the smooth granite slopes, 'but they no longer broke, and it is broken water, not tu- muliuously heaving seas, that an open boat must fear. With the intuition of a born sailor, ready to seize any advantage given by human enemy Or @ngry ocean, Stan- hope decided, in the very jaws of op portunity, to abandon his original de- #ign totally, and shout to the men he saw standing in the entrance to heave to him a rope. He would have pre feyred the danger of the jump. He almost longed to endure the flerce struggle which muet ensue before he reached those waiting hands. He thought he would have his reward in the tense joy of the fight, in Bringing salvation to Enfd and those with her, in seeing her sweet fucé again after these days and nights of vigil But the paramount need was to suc ceed. The extraordinary and, to him, quite inexplicable, change in condi tions which he had studied during tor tured hours passéd on the bridge of the Falcon or the Trinity tender, made it possible to remain longer in the vicinity of the rock than he had dared to hope. Therefore he knew it wag advisable to adopt the certain meang af communication of the thrown rope in preference to the uncertainty of his own power to reach and climb the lad- der. . Flinging 'out his right arm, he mo- tioned to the men in the lighthouse to be ready to heave a coil. The wind was the chief trouble now, but he must chante that. * "Vast pulling," he yelled over his saoulder as a monstrous wave pranced over the reef and enveloped the col umn. "Ay, ay," sang out his crew. Up went the boat on the crest and a fearsome" cavern spread before his ryes, revealing the seaweed that clung to the lowest tier of the masonry. In the same instant he caught a fleeting glimpse of a lofty billow rearing back from the rocks on the north. Down sank the boat until the door of the lighthouse seemed fo be an awful distance away. She rose again, and Stanhope stood upright, his knees wedged agains! the wooden ribs. One plercing glance in front and another to the right'showed that the antagon- fsm of the two volumes of water gave the expected lull "Pull!" The boat shot onward. Once, twice, three times, the oars dipped with pre- cision. These rowers, who went with their backs turned to what might be instant death, were brave and stanch As he who looked it unflinchingly in} the face. "Heave!" roared Stanhope to the 'Wwhite-visuged second officer standing In ihe doorway far above 'him. The rope whirred through the air, the boa: rose still higher to meet ft, and the coll struck Stanhope in the face, lashing him savagely in the final Bpite of the batfled gale which puny man had conquered. i Never was blow taken Christian charity, !

Now, from the kitchen, owing to its ; height above sea level and the thick: ness of the wall pierced by the win- dow, as soon as the boat came within fifty yards or so of the lighthouse, the girls could see it no longer.

"If I loved a man," she cried, "and he were about to die for my sake, 1 should count it a glory to see him die." The brave words gave Enid some measure of comprehension. Yes, that was it. Bhe would watch her lover whilst he faced death, evén though her heart stopped beating when the end came. i Helped by her sister, she opened the window and thrust her head out. To her half-dazed brain came the con- sciousness that the sea had lost 'its venom. She saw the boat come on, spal pause leap forward, the rope thrown | and the knot made, As the boat retreated she caught Stanhope's joyous glance. He w her, and waved his hand. Something he sald caused the two rowers, for the first time, to give one quick glance backward, for they were now scudding rapidly away from the danger zome. She knew them; she managed to send a frantic recognition of all three. Then, in almost overpowering re- action, she drew back from the win: dow and tears of divine relief stream: ed from her eyes. " tance," she sobbed, "he has saved: us! Look out. You will see him. I cannot." Yet, all tremulous and breathless, e brushed away the tears and strove o distinguish the boat once more. It appeared, a vague blot in the mist that enshrouded her. "Connie," she said again, "tell me that all is well." "Yes, dear. Indeed, indeed, he I» safe." "And do you know who came with him? 1 saw their faces--Ben Pollard and Jim Spence--in the Daisy. Yes, it 1s true. And Jack planned it with them. They have escaped; and we, too, will be rescued.
