The donkey engines puffed and whistlcd. the chains rattled. and ton after ton of good hard coal roared from the opening buckets and splashed Into the tumbling waves of the channel. The captain and Bradley. together for a moment. stood in the bows. where the heavy cable led, taut and rigid, from the Windlass out to the submerg- .Ll anchors. The Freedom had moved Nightly in the last few days. and the partners were encouraged. ' “ ‘“ Aâ€"Alnlmnfl (Van. ”ALI-lion” vv _.- '7, v “By crinms. Brad.” exclaimed Cap- tain Titcomh. pointing, with a grln on his grimy face. to the stout little Dlv- lug Belle just then shooting of! to the Point with a load of stripplngs from the Freedom. “that's the little critter that has made it possible for us to handle this job. I don't know what we’d 'a’ done if we hadn‘t had her. See her go, will you? Flies round like a flea In a fryin’ pan. don’t she? You never put your money into anything better for the size than her. and don’t you- let that fact slip your mem’ry.” The new schooner had proved her worth twice over. Equipped as she was, with the engine. she performed the part of a steam launch, a tug and a ferryboat. She had carried out and dropped the anchors in the channel; she took her owners and a few of the hands to and from Orham every night and morning; she was always ready and always useful. In fact. as the cap- tain said. they could scarcely have handled the job without her. Bradley. dirty and bareheaded. look- ed at the little vessel.

Mr. Hammond was still with them, although his usefulness as a diver was gone owing to the temporary abandon- ment of the tar venture. But because they anticipated returning to this work if the Freedom should- be floated he was retained at his old wages and was now running one of the hoisting en- glues. a labor with which he was more or less familiar. although he cansldered it beneath him and shirked wheneyer he could. This shirking Irritated Captain Tit- comb. “Consarn him!" he growled. “Let him either fish or cut bait. one or t‘ofher. If he‘s too good for the job. why, then, the job's too good for him. If I had my way we‘d come to a set- tlement in about ha‘f a shake." The majority of the men hired byl the partners were intensely loyal and 1 thoroughly optimistic. They knew the ‘ circumstances under which the con-. tract had been taken and would not. consider the possibility of failure for a moment. But Hammond was the head of a little cotez'ie ot' pessimists, among whom were Henry Simmons and a few ‘ others from Orham and Len Clark and ‘ Ike Bodkin from Harniss. These creak- ers sneered at Captain Ezra when his back was turned and pretended to pity Bradley. When the pay envelopes were distributed they congratulated themselves loudly and wondered if this time was the last. -liradley was aware of all this. be- cause Barney told him. but he would not permit his partner to call llam- mend to account. Sam should not have the opportunity of telling One that he was the victim of persecution by an unsuccessful rivaiA- not it Bradley could help it. he shouldn‘t. Captain Titcomb understood. and so Sam was not re- proved and grew more and more in- tolerable. All day long the Freedom‘s deck was a whirl of industry. The captain and Bradley ware always in the thlcic of it and were dog tired when ii u'eloek came. Then the table was tightened and checked. the watch was set and most oi’ the crews were transferred In relays tn the beach to eat supper in the abanty and about. sing and play cards until bedtime. The partners. with Hammond. liearse and a few others. went up to Orlnun in the Diving lieile. The old maidu had been very unimnn or late. When Bradley tirst told them that his firm had secured the bigueut wrecking contract over handled by Ur- hatn men they were jubilant. But then came Mina Buuteed. brimming over“ like a sort or living “extra"-â€"wlth ex- aggerated reports or village opinion concerning that contract. and the all. ‘ters began to worry. Other callers. , whose views were more weighty than i Melissa’s. came also. and. now even i Miss Prissy was nervously anxious. . Brmlley went to bed early nowadays. 0n the night following the conversa- tion with Peleg he took his lamp from the shelf soon after supper was cleared away. Captain Titcomb called. but re- mained only a little while. As the young man rose from his chair Miss Prissy, who had been watching him over her glasses while pretending to mend some stockings. dropped the work in her lap and asked. “Bradley. how are you gettin’ on do,wn at the Point?" “Tiptop.” was the reply. “Yes. you always say that, but are you galnln' as test as you ought to? You don't think there's anyâ€"any chance of your not bein' able to glt that vessel, ofl. do you? Folks seem to think"â€" Bradley laughed. “Has Melissa been here today?” be interrupted. “No, she hasn't. but Mr. Lanzworthy has. 0h, Bradley. we hear such dread- tul things! Mr. Langworthy came here almost on purpose to try to git us to coax you to give it up 'tore it's too late. 'He says the whole town thinks‘ you ‘éan‘t carry it through. Men that know all about wreckiu' say”â€" ‘ “Who says, the Jeremiah club?" The Jeremiah club was Captain Tit- comb’s name for the daily gathering about the stove in Weeks’ store. “No. indeed! Men like Cap’n Jonsâ€" dab Wixon and Mr. Wi'ngate and lots more. They say that you’ve mortg gaged your vessel and that if you fail you'll be, ruinedmabsormeiy ruined. They ,lay it all to Cap’n E13. 0! course Tempy and me stand up for you and the capfn and pretend we ain't a mite anxious; but. oh. Bradley, it any such awful thing should happen to you.

Now. 800d night. ,. u w T that very moment Mr. Ham- mond. seated on the fence by the vestry door. was pnflng at a cigar and talking in an unusually loud voice of New York and his experiences therp. He seemed to be very happy, and his boisterous laughter penetrated even to the little company of worshipers on the settees Inside. When- the meeting was over he threw away the stump of his cigar and shoul- dered himself into the front row of waiting swains by the door. As Gus came out he stepped forward to meet uer and in doing so bumped against Mrs. Piper. who. looking the other way. had not seen him. and. being deaf. had not heard his step. » '_--.I bl.“ }‘Gi'aclous sakes alivg! old lady, rubbing her you.” Sam nodded serenely. “Don't men- tion it.” he shouted. winking over his shoulder at Georgiana Bailey. “You didn't hurt me a bit."

The Freedom had moved pereeptihiy in the sweep of the latest tides. and the partners were happy in conse- quence. It was dark. though a few stars were showing dimly through the mint over- head when the Diving Belle entered ()rham harbor that evening.
