BAD no idea that it was morning . already. the night had passed so quickly. The eastern sky was already gray and although the day bade fair to he. an unpleasant one there was already light enough to dis ï¬nguish land of! to starboard. We had run quite near it in the night. it was still too my to make out much more than the existence of the land itself. but I thought I saw beyond the nearest island others rising. At any rate. there it was where it ought to be. and I didn't make any doubt but that it was the island whiéh we had been seeking these weary months at sea. The whole crew was on deck. I didn’t see any signs of Captain Mat- thews‘ body. although I looked hastily about for it 1 learned later that they had tumbled him overboard without a prayer or word after they had knocked him on the head. Pimball. Glihhy and one or two others of the older seamen were on the quarterdeCK. the rest being strung along the leerail in the waist staring at the island. Two hands were at the Wheel. The ship was pitvhing and laboring heavily. and it required two hands to hold her up to It. ‘ During the night they had taken a second reef in the tops’ls. A Whole gale was now blowing Everything above the topsl yards had been fumed at course. The Rose of Devon was a wet ship in a Seaway. and she was making heavy weather out of it I noticed one thing with satisfar'tion. They had evidently not thought it worth while to break open the arms chest or to force the key from me. which they could easily have done. and none or them was armed. "wen." I began. as I climbed over the hatch combing and turned art. “I sent for you‘ Hampdon." began Pimhall Insolently. and his failure to "mister" me or to give me any title indicated our present relations. “be- cause ot that." and he pointed to the leeward toward the Island. “It looks like land," I said. “It is land What land?†“How can I tell?" I answered. “I have never been In these 5983 before." “Well, you took an observation yea- terday. didn‘t you?" â€Certainty.†“And where were we?†I named a latitude and longitude. not exax-tly what I had worked out. but near“ enough. I didn’t want these mrflans to Know exactly Where we were. He pone-(1 out the chart as I spoke and vompared tts ï¬gures with what I had given them. He could read ï¬mlres it not letters. “At any rate." he said. after study- ing over the map for a little time. “that is nnt far from the pomt we are making tor, is it?" "No.†I admitted. “not very.†“ho you think that can be it?†"I (-an‘t tell for certain.†I replied. “unï¬t I get another shot at the sun.

Once they got the treasure it would follow that they would kill me and take her. When we got the Rose of Devon safely hove to the men all knocked 06 work at once, leaving the decks in a state of confusion. Indeed. save tc clear up the gear. there was nothingl to do but wait. Two or three men were stationed on watch, and the rest ‘ were given the freedom of the ship ‘ I was in doubt as to what to say about the cabin; but. strangely take advantage of the mastery of the crew to quartet himself there Indeed. their quarters forward were almost as good as ours. and they evidently pre ferred to be together. The ship was generously provisioned. and the fare of the men had been unusually good. They did. however. break into the lazarette and help themselves to what- everthey liked out of the cabin stores. ‘ including a case of bottled spirits. i brought out Other liquor and let them have as much as they wanted A little liquor would make them ugly and intractable. l reasoned; a lot would make them ‘drunk. and enough would render them completely help- less. 1 even joined them in their carousal. it was easy enough to spill my liquor and make a pretense at drinking. which soon deceived them.

Whatever may have been the cause of it. she was genuinely glad to see me when I came in and lighted the cabin lanterns. “Oh." She cried. “I have been. in agony the whole day. Every sound has caused me to seize this weapon. ; and when l have not been watching the door 1 have been on my knees praying for you and for myself. I do not think 1 can stand another day like this."

I am going to leave the ship and take you with me†“But howâ€"when?†For answer I threw open the stern window of her cabin. On a level with it swung a small boat, a whaleboat. Now 1 had taken occaslon during the day to lower that boat little by little, a few inches at a time and then a few inches at another time. as 1 had op- portunity to get near the falls and to manipulate them unobserved. but I had brought it down to the level of the cabin windows. Its sea lashings were cast off, and i had no doubt. if condi- tions on deck were as i expected them. I could lower it all the way later with impunity. “.Whaf: do you mean?" she asked. staring out of the window and into the empty boat. “I mean that you and l are going to embark in that boat tonight and leave this ship.†“But where are we going?†“There is mad not a teagne and a half under our lee.
