'l‘wo ol' the pirates stationed tlmmselx'es on the bridge with the captain. who rontinued to navigate the ship under their directions. The pirates said Ithey wanted to know when theygot. gto Bias Bay, so that they might disen’llial'k. l E For the Wife and Kiddles 1 They ransacked the ship from top 'to hottom. rollerting all the min- ‘ahles in the possession of the. pas- seng‘el's. They worked coolly and al- most. leisurely. being quite rontident that. they had nothing to fear. They talked with the ott‘ieers. who thought‘ it wise to pretent atl'ahility, and told them that they had been plan'- ning the adventure for months. and , had sunk $3.000 in it. They said that their women folks in Bias Bay were starving, and this drove them to plot( the seizure of the ship and her ear- irn. The two main ditfieulties in their way they did not seem to un- derstand. One was that they knew nothing: of navigation, and had no idea where the Captain was steer- ing the ship. They knew Chilang Point when they saw it, for it was a landmark of Bias Bay. hutwhether it was a hundred or thousand miles away they did not know. Nor were they aide to keep the «'itl'irers from rommunicating with each other. having: an inwerfeet knowledge of English.

At one time the pirates were in complete possession of the ship. and at another it seemer that. the tire they had started on the. vessel would destroy her and all on board.

All were peering through the night on the lookout for Chilang Poxnt, which the Captain said he was expecting to pick up any moment. Suddenly a point loomed up out of the night. “Chilang Point!” exclaimed the cap- tain. For a moment the attention of the pirates was distracted and they peered forward. It was the Captain's Opportunity. He seized the deep- sea sounding lead at his side and with two swift blows laid the pir- ates senseless on the bridge. In a moment he and the second officer left the bridge and hurried to the chart. room. where two pirates had gone. a short time earlier with a passenger named Lapsley. But. the room was empty.
