A glance at the vessel's crew then would have confirmed a landsman in' the belief that they were a gang of pirates. Gone were the nice table man- ners of the shore; gone were the trim clothes, collars and ties, shirts of linen and natty shoes; and gone also were the niceties of speech. Men passed their remarks cursefully, and conver-! sation became painfully free and! highly charged with the red-blooded' talk of the sea.

When he came on deck-again'it was toisee Cape Ann astern and the Kas-| talia scudding along and 'curtseying! to the swell. The sun had risen clear of the sea to the eastward, and th | 1€ day was sunshine and clouds with a! fresh sou'-westérly breeze -blowing. | As soon as the first table gang emer-| ged the skipper sung out sharply, "Set! th' light sails."

Standing at the' wheel of the schooner he kept a vigi-! lant eye on the compass aloft at' the gaff-topsail which was set. Therd' was a spanking breeze blowing, and hen the .gang piled on the "kites": he Kastalja careened to the weight of the wind in them and buried her lee scuppers in a boiling of froth.

Not that Shorty hated Bob as much as all that, but Bob was forced to take the part owing to the lack of a better, or worse, rival. At the wheel of his ship Shorty was steering to rescue his lady-love, and he had ot to where he was hanging the wretched Bob from the = cross-trees 'when his uncle stopped in his weather- alldy pacing and sung out in the pe- culiar long-drawn shout eommon to all seafarers, "H-e-y thar'! Sheet in an' jig up!" And when the men turned out to sweat up on the slackened hal- liards he relieved Shorty at the wheel. "Git all th' gang aft here, Frank," "We'll set th', watches at When the men were haled out said. a. piece of echalk to John Ross, the oldest fisherman aboard. "Mark th' baitin' places, John," he said, andthe .man went around the house and kid! marking the baiting positions. Everything aboard a fislierman is drawn for at the beginning of tne voy- age, and by this means there is no uabbling afterwards, as edeh will and by what he draws for. The top of the cabin house is capped around its edge by planks, upon which the men cut their bait, but there is not enough room for all the twenty men to cut bait and bait their trawls around these bait-boards, so some have to bait on the gurry kid--a huge box just forward of the cabin house--- and down in the hold. Thus the reason why the favored spots are drawn for, After this apportionment was sat- isfactorily = carried out the skipper eds "Who drawed Number One dory ?" Two men answered, "All right, boys.
