Side by side with this terrifying discovery was the certain fact, that his awkwardiy built craft would gain little by manoeuvrinv. There was a new danger. too.

At an costs that must be av idcé. ‘ \th a smile and a few confident words 10 the girls. he went aft. took the him from Chumm and bade him help the ryot in putting out the port sweep. The effect was quickly appar- em. The budget-ow ran into the se- cond channel. but she allowed her dangerous rivals to approach so close that the natives opened fire with long- range dropping shots. He kept on grimly. however. never deviating from his perspective, which was the swampy ground on the outer curve of the bend. It was. not until another mile was covered and the mu- tineers were almost abreast in the true line of the river, that he knew why they were making such heart- breaking progress as compared with his own craft. The Ganges. after the vagrom fashion of all giant rivers, was cutting a new bed through the sTxn‘k'eh reefs ‘tofi'a‘i‘dfi‘ ' the Toy-lying marsh. At the wide elbow there were really two channels and he “as now sailing 8.10 g the comparatixel) mo- tibnless water betneen them! Chumru kept the budgerow steadily an her course. and ere many minutes eiapsed it was plain to be seen that the rebels were alive to the tactics of their quarry. Fresh gangs manned the sweeps and the riders on the east- vrn bank eased their pace to a walk. The space between pureuers and pub sued began to decrease. At the out- set Prank thought that this was the natural outcome of his plan. and gave no heed to it beyond the ever-growing anxiety ot‘ the time problem. But at the end of the first mile he was ser- iousiy concerned at finding that the mutincers were gaining on him in an incomprehensble manner. The boat was then seemingly in mid-stream, while the enemy kept close to the shore. and they were certainly travel- ing half as fast again. a .difference in speed that the use of the oars hardly accounted for.

To I puissant man there is nothing so gall- lng as helplessness :what a game of battledore and 'shuttlecock had been played with him and those bound up with his fortunes since the moulvlo's man-trap brought him headlong to the earth in the main street of Ra! Bar- eilly! Malcolm suddenly became aware of his wounded arm. With a curious fatalism he began to dissect his emo- tions. He arrived at the conclusion that the drop from the nervous ten- sion of hope to the relaxation of sheer despair had dulled his brain and weak- ened his physical powers. This, then, was the end. There could be no- doubt about it. He quieted the startled horses with a word or two and spoke to the girls again. "Humor!” yelled Chumru, excitedly. "Look! There below! A smoke ship! And see! Those sons of pigs are mak- ing for the bank!" Malcolm could scarce believe his eyes when they rested on a small steamer with the British flag flying from the masthead, coming round the bend. Yet there could be no mind}. about it. British officers in whitenin- forms were standing on her bridge, the muzzles of a couple or sun showed black and busineéirlike over er bows. while her forward deck was packed with men in the uniform oi the Huang Fusiliers. Her commander seemed to take in the exact position or affairg 3t "You may as well come on deck now," he said. "It is all up with us. ~.â€"- It a friendly bullet puts us out of our misery, so much the better. Other; wise my advice to you both is to leap into the river rather than be reap- tux-ed." And now the maimed craft was car- ried along sluggishly, drifting back to wards the centre of the river. while the men in the other boats set up a fiendish yell of delight at the catas- trophe that had overtaken the doomed Feringhis. Their skilled boatmen evi- dently knew of this reef. They stood away towards the shore. but the trium- phant jeering that came from the crowded decks showed that they meant to pass their dismantled quarry and wait in safer waters until it lum- bered down upon them. Then the budgerow struck a sub- merged rock with a violence that must have pitched him OVerboard were he not holdingNejdi’s headstall at the moment.

A modification oi! his scheme flashed through his brain, and he decided to adapt it forthwith.

They agreed to abide by his declsiou, and the elder one said with a. calm serenity that lent to her words the symbolism of a prayer: “I don't like leaving you," he mur- mured, “but our only weapons are a sword and a brace of empty pistols. If we run on another half mile we shall be shot down where we stand without any means of defending ourselves. On the other handâ€"" so eagerly followed by two thickly crowed craft now close hauled and putting forth desperate efforts to reach the bank, presented a riddle easy to read. That twinge of pain quitted Frank’s ’ arm as speedily as it had made its presence felt. He helped the girls to the raised deck, so that the peeple on Q the steamer could see them.

Captain Spurgin had been with Neill at Alla- habad. He knew the story of Massao cre Ghat, of Delhi, of Sitapur, Mai-ada- bad, Bereilly, and a score of other sta- tions in Oudh and the Northwest. His gunners pelted the unwieldy budger- ows with round shot until they began to sink. Then he used grape and rifle fire, until five minutes after the War- ren Hastings came on the scene, there was nought left of the Fattehpore navy save some shattered wreckage and a few wretches who strove to swim amidst a hail of lead and in a river infested with crocodiles. bf Lucknow..- When the steamer dropped down stream and picked up the fugitives, Malcolm learnt that Spurgin was co. operating with Renaud.

At dawn on the 4th of July they entered Allahabad. But the driver had his orders and did not st0p in the city. They passed through a. sullen bazaar, and were gazed at by a mob that wore the aspect of a cageiul of tigers in which order has just been induced by the liberal use. or red-hot irons. The travelers were nodding asleep again when the sharp summons of a British sentry gladdened Malcolm‘s ears. “Who goes there?" How alert it sounded! How remin- iscent of the old days! How full of promise of the days that were to come! He leaned out and smiled as he told a stolid private of the 64th that he was "a friend " His uniform acted as a passport, the dsk-gharry crossed the drawhridge and crept through a nar “Thcn \o" are both to be congratu- lated," put in the elder sister, “for she is quite the most charming girl we know. and our opinion of you is not likely to be a poor one after tooday's experiences.” “What?
