Registeredâ€"Rob Roy Rolled Oats Furniture and Upholstering Brand was slow to answer. For one thing, he was exhausted. Re- freshing as the long gwfim was after "'U 'vâ€"v a night of lonely vigil, itself the cul- mination of two days of hard work, the fierce battle with the shark had shocked into active existence the re serve of latent enrgy which every healthy animal unconsciously hoards for life-and-death emergencies. ' - But there was another reason. Het had scarce gained the comparative safety of the boat before he was. in the same instant, horrified and as- tounded to a degree hitherto beyond his experience. Not even the stiff pull of two hundred yards sumced to restore his senses. So Jim’s question fell on his ears with the meaningless sound of the steamer’s siren. "WVâ€"half ne‘it,"mte?~ repeated his tel‘ low-keeper, more insistently. “You ain't hurt anyways, are you?” - wâ€"v ' "It is a baby,” said Brand, in a curi- ously vacant way. “A baby!” shrieked Jones, whose crudely developed nervous system was not proof against the jar of in- crednlity induced by this statement. Had Brand said “a tiger.” he could not have exhibited greater“ concern: “Yes, a babyâ€"and it is living. I heard it cry,” murmured the other, sit- ting down rather suddenly. Indeed, a faint wail, suggestive of a kitten, now came from beneath the tumbled canvas quite near to Jim. But the Royal Navy does not encour- age neunosis. The lighthouse keep- er felt that a minor crisis had arriv- ed. It must be dealt with promptly. The evil odor which still adhered to the boat told him that Brand had exchanged one Inferno for another, when he clambered out of reach of the blindly vengeful shark. He looked up at Jones. “Lower away,” he said, promptly. “Swing the derrick until I grab the tackle. and then hoist me aboard.” This was done. Ungaimy in his walk owing to his wounded limb, Jim, clinging to a rope, had the easy ac- tivity of a squirrel. ""fiovir; ibwér a jug with some bran- dy. He’swdead peat,” h_e -addgd. “'Whllét Jones hastened for the spir- it, the sailor stooped and threw back the sail. Lying in the bottom of. the boat, wrapped in a blanket which unavail- ing struggles had rumpled into a roll beneath the arms, was an infant whose precise age it was impossible to estimate forthwith owing to the emaciated condition of its body. With the locking of the boat, the foul bilge-water washed around the child' s limbs and back. Instinct alone had saved it from drowning. Perhaps, during the first hours of vigor after abandonment the little one might have rolled over in infantile search for food and human attendance, but the rush of salt water into eyes and mouth must have driven the tiny sut- ferer to seek instantly the only posi- tion in which lite was possible. So far as the man could judge in a first hasty glance, the child's cloth- tng was of excellent quality. Yet he gave slight heed to such considerm tions. 'Jim was the father of three lusty youngsters who were snugly in {ed- 1E1 Pevnzance, and the sight of this forlorn little sea-wait made his eyes misty. v. vâ€"v â€"__._ _' _ He reached down, unpinned the blanket, which was secured with a brooch, and lifted the infant out of its unpleasing environment. It was piteous to see the way in which the shrunken hands at once strove to clasp his wrists. though they were all too feeble to achieve more than a gentle clutch which relaxed almost as soon as the effort was made. ' Jones. also a husband and father. bethought him when he reached' the storeroom. Hence, when the wind- lvass lo‘wered a basket, there was not only a supply of brandy within, but also a bottle of fresh milk, which reached the Gulf Rock. by arrange: ment with a fisherman, whenever w‘ea- ther permitted. a A Jim hunded the jug to his exhaust ed companion. ‘1‘Here, cap’n," he said. cheerfully. “Take a. couple of mouthfuls of thin. It'll warm the cockles of your heart. An’ the sooner you shin up the lad- gler and get themeoaked rags off you the ’better. Can you manage?. It’s n near thin'g for the kid. if not too late now.” Brand needed no second bidding. He did not wish to collapse utterly. and the soft breeze, rendered chilly by his wet gasments, had re Jivei ,uim somewhat. The resourceful sailor did not at- tempt the foolish process of pouring even the smallest quantity of milk in- to the baby’s :‘touth. He produced a handkerchief, steeped a tévisted cor- ner in the milk, and placed it between the parched, salt-blackened lips. This rough expedient for a feeding- bottle served admirably. The child's eagernes‘s to gulp in the life-giving fluid was only matched by the tender care of the sailor In his efforts to ap- pease its ravenous hunger. .JC’tIIS He was so intent on this urgent task for a little while he paid no heed to 'Brand. Jones, forty feet over. head, took the keenest interest in the baby’ 3 nurture. a “Mind. you don’t let it suck the handkerchief into' its little throat, ” he’ cried. “Not too much, Jim.

A warm bath an ’a blanket is the next best thing to milk an’ water.” “All right, skipper. Just hold on I bit. She’s dotn' fine." ' “Is it a he’or a she?" “I dunno. But I guess it's a gal by the dudl.” The baby, in the sheer joy of liv- ing again, uttered g gurgling cry, a command of milk, happiness and pain. “There! I told you!” shouted Jonel angrfiy. “You think every kid is a L‘caxd: young savage like your own. You’ re mcldoln’ it, I say. “Ovexdoin’ Mutt?” demanded the sailor. “Xou dc 't know who you 'ro ta??- -11’ to. “h when I was on the first, (703:6, I named two week-old monkeys this way.” " oon these firm friends would have ouarrolod â€"â€"so unbounded was their 2111:1213 to lescue the fluttering ex- istence of the tiny atom of human- ity so miraculously snatched from the perils of the sea. But Stephen Brand’s dominant per- sonality was rapidly recovering its normal state. , “Jim,” he said, “Mr. Jones is right. Her skin is raw and her eyes sore with inflammation. The little food she has already obtained will suffice for a few minutes. Send her up." The “Mr. Jones” was a gentle rev minder of authority. No further pro- test was raised, save b y the in- fant when supplies were temporarily withheld, and Jones was too pleased that his opinion should be supported by Brand to give another thought to his subordinate’s outburst. “Now, back up to the rock,” said Brand. “I will dress and rejoin you quickly. The boat must be thorough- ly examined and swabbed out: Jones will signal for help. Meanwhile, you might moor her tightly. When the tide falls she will be left high and dry.” The sailor’s momentary annoyance fled. There was much to be done, and no time should be wasted in dis- putes concerning A bqpy culture. 5' “Sure you won't slip?" he asked, as Stephen caught hold of the ladder. "No, no. It was not fatigue but sickness which overcame me. The brandy has settled that." “By jingo, he’s a plucked ’un," mur- mured Jim, admiringly. “He ought to be skipper of a battleship, instead of housemaid of a rock-light. Dash them sea-crows! I do hate ’em." " Up 'he went, as though returning from his customary morning dip. He seized an oar and lunged so hard and true at a cormorant which was invetigating the shark’s liver, that he knocked the bird a yard through the air. Discomfited, it re- tired, with a scream. Its companion darted to the vacant site and peeked industriousiy. The neighborhood of the rock was now alive with sea-gulls. In the water many varieties of tinny shapes were darting to and fro in great excitement. Jim laughed. “They’d keep me busy,” he growled. “When all’s said an’ done, it’s their nater, 311’ they Can’t help lt.’ Unconscious that he had stated the primordial thesis, he left the foragers alone. Hauling the sail out of the water, he discovered that the stern- board was missing. broken off proba- bly when the mast fell. His trained scrutiny soon solved a puzzle suggest- ed by the stateof the cordage. Under ordinary conditions the upper part of the mast would either have carried the sail clean away with it or be found acting as a sort of sea-anchor at a short distance from the boat. But it had gone altogether, r-xd the strands of the sail-rope were bitten. not torn, asunder. The shark had striven to pull the boat under by tug- ging at the wreckage. Having made the canvas ship-shape, Jim settled the next pressing ques- tion by seizing an empty "tin and sluicing the fore part. Then he pass- ed a rope under the after thwart and reeved it through a ring-bolt in a rock placed there for mooring purposes in very calm weather like the present. When the Trinity tender paid her monthly visit to the lighthouse she was moored to a buoy three cables’ lengths awa yto the northwest. If there was the least suspicion of a sea over the nee! it was indeed a ticklish task landing or embarking stores and men. Close-hauled. the boat would £111 for- word' as the tide dropped. This was matterless. By the time all her mov~ able contentsâ€"she appeared to have plenty 'ot tinned meat and biscuits aboard. but no waterâ€"would be re moved to the store-room. The sailor was sorting the packages â€"‘wondering what queer story ,0} the deep.would be forthQOming,when the recent history of the rescued child was asoeerhen Brand hailed “It is a good thing,’ said Brand. calmly hewing at the huge jaws. “that. nature did not build the Carcharodan galeidae on the same lines as the al- 'ligator. It this big fellow’s sharp embroidery wees not situated so close § to his stomach he would have made a. “Look out there, Jim. I' am lower- ing an ax.” The weapon was duly delivered. “What’s‘the ax for, cap’n?” was the natural query. “I want to chop out that shark's teeth. They will serve as mementoes for the girl if she grows up, which is likely. judging by the way she is yell- ing at Jones.” “Wat’s he a-doin’ sharp demand. “Giving her a bath. and excellently well, too.

Brand paused in his labor. “Listen. Jim,’ he said earnestiy. “I want both you and Jones to oblige me by saying nothing about the shark. Please do mt mention my connection with me aa'i'air in any way.

Well, the child was well nourished, in all likelihood, before the accident happened which set her adrift on the Atlantic. She may have lost twenty or thirty pounds in weight but starvation is a slow afiair, and her' pect. Most certainly she would have died to-day, and even yet she is in great danger. Her pulse is very weak and care must be taken not to stimu- late the action of the heart too rap idly." .- n 7_ '3‘. When Brand spoke in this way, Jim Spence was far too wary to ask per- sonal questions. Sometimes, in the early days of their acquaintance, he had sought to pin his friend with clumsy logic to some admission as to his past life. The only result he achieved was to seal the other man's lips for days so far as reminiscences were concerned. Not only Jones and Spence, but Thompson, the third assistant. who was taking his month ashore, togeth- er with the snpernummeries who help. ed to preserve the rotation of two months rock duty and one ashore. soon realized that Brandâ€"whom they liked and looked up torâ€"had locked the record of his earlier years and refused to open the diary for anmne. 'Yet so helpful was heâ€"so enter- taining with his scraps of scientific knowledge and more ample general readingâ€"that those whose turn on the rock was coincident with Ins relief hailed his reappearance with joy. Dur- ing the preceding winner he actually entertained them with a tree trans. lation of the twenty-four books of the “lliad,” and great was the delight of Jim Spence when he was able to con- nect the exploits of some Greek or Trojan hero with the identity of one of her Majesty's ships. In private they discussed him often. and a common agreeement was made that his wish to remain incognito should be respected. Their nick- name, “the cap'n,” Was a tacit admis- sion of his higher social rank. They feared lest inquisitiveness should drive him from their midst, and one supernumerary, who heard from the cook of the Trinity tender that Brand was the nephew of a baronet. was roughly hidden to “close his rat-trap. or he might catch something he couldn’t eat.” So Jim now contented himself by remarking dolefully that had his ad- vice been taken “the bloomln' kid would be well on her way back to the Scilly Isles.” “You must not say that," was the grave response. “These things are determined by a higher power than man’s intelligence. Think how the seeming accident of a fallen sail sav- ed the child from the cormorants and other ‘birdsâ€"how a chance sea fell into the boat and kept her aliveâ€"â€" how mere idle curiosity on my part im- pelled-me to swim out end investlate utters" “That’s your way of putt'ln wit" Jim was forced to say. “You knew quite well that there might be a shark in her wake, or you wouldn't have taken the knife. An' now you won't have a word said about it. At the bombard- ment of Alexandria, a ,meaamate of mine got the‘V. C. for less." “The real point is. Jim, that we have not y'et discovened what ship this boat belongs to.” “No, an? what-‘s. more, we won't and out in a hurry. Her name’s gone, tore an’ aft." “Is there nothing left to help us?" “Only this.” The sailor produced the brooch from his waistcoat pocket.
