But the body of the mate was seventyâ€"four years old. It could no longer knock a tall man head over heo!ls with an uncleanched hand. It could not, in any bold ‘and dramatic ‘ashion, challenge destiny. ‘ ‘The ghost of Mr. Pike looked out of frustrated ind weary eyes. f W meals with a cold and growing hatred. It was this hatred that gave the voyâ€" £g0 Its pungency for them. Captain Lawry, going aboard at Pensacola to take the place of a sick master, had found the first mate, Fred Mortimer, already jealous and hostile. _ Mortiâ€" mer bhad served the sea for hall a century.

The woman still cried out and Battice still beat upon his door. _ On the twelfth, when the schooner was off the shore of Liberia, the woman became delirlâ€" ous, She wanted to be taken to a hospital, she wanted tea with sugar, ] The two enemies, Mortimer and the Captain, burst into the storeâ€"room toâ€" ‘gether, with the bo‘s‘n behind them. l’l‘he Captain picked the woman up and ’(-arrled her into the afterâ€"cabin, where he tried to stanch the blood. Battice, in irons, was clapped into his own room and his pots left to stew and simmer without him, His voice rose fitfully as madness came upon him, and he shouted and pounded on the door. As if in answer, came the woâ€" man‘s groans. _ The Kingsway, bowâ€" ing delicately to the roll of the South' Atlantic, held her course. No romanâ€" ticist could have looked at her with-t out lamenting the passing of sails,| She swam upon the sea, a spectacle of | infinite peace. | COUNT LE, BUM SENDS ~ zE REGARDS~ ZE hXEETlNG WilL TAKE PLACB AT ww 1 SUNRISE! ]t.he captain J wert as Fe nds :: Args: > â€" Battice alone could cook. So it happened that ten days before the schooner reached New York he was released from his irons and ‘put back in the galley among his pots and pans. Badke, on the other side of the galloy dbor, stood ‘by his engine. Captain Lawry walkbd the poop deck and set the course,.,. In this fashion the Kingsâ€" way arrived" of ~Barncyat: and the Coast Guardsmen came aboard. And then ~the strange little <~shipboard world fcll apart. One man went to jaH on aâ€"murder charge,. four. wore held agwitnosses, ithevires in the onâ€" gine room . were allowed to go out, and the captain signed his papers and madte‘s had before him, and he lay in his bunk and groancd. The Kingsway touched at Barbados to put ashore whatever was fortal of Fred Mortimer, then headed northâ€" rvnrd again with the fruits of her adventureâ€"$50,000 worth of cocoa beans. But the irony which had atâ€" tended her voyage had in reserve a deft final touch Codgo, whose moâ€" tives were above reproach, was as poor a cook as ever put to sea. Some members of the crew, finding him in a corner mumbling over two st,icks‘,\ were inclined to believe that ho was castng a voodoo charm over the ves-j sol. It is more likely that he was | merely invoking his tribal godsâ€" 1 vainly, as it turned out,â€"to make himl a batter cook. The captain fell sick and kept alive, as he believed, onty by heroic doses of drugs. Codgo himâ€" gelf was sick, his legs swelled as the Captain Lawry, who had been standing in for the Barbados in the 'Mpo of getting a doctor, wrots in the ship‘s log in his crabbed hand that the dead man‘s fate was "probably due to neglect of health rules on the }Affican coast." With a seaman‘s sensa of unsentimental justice to the dead as to the living headdod a final and merciless comment upon the passing of Mr. Pike. A master of a vessel is required to set down in the log his opinion of the conduct and. ability of each member of his crow. Captain Lawry, dipping his pen in ink tinctured with half a ceontury of‘ bitter experience, wrote down his opinion that the dead mate‘s ability| had been "poor" and his c:onductl "bad." Such was the epitaph of Mr.‘ Pike. In his extremity he turned to the captain for reassurance. â€" Perhaps, he said, he was smoking too strong tobacco and it was affecting his hoart. The captain folt of the swollings on his feet and legs and prescribed raâ€" tions of whisky and milk three times a day. On the 19th of June the mate tottered to tha dack to take change of his watch. It was his last dream of command.

The quar rel between the two old men had solâ€" tled now into a chronic irritation, smoldering, but never coming to a violent outbreak The Kingsway‘s bow was at last turned homeward. The Kingsway wont about her busiâ€" ness, poking her nose leisurely in and out of the inlets as far as Aocra, leayâ€" ing lumber eand picking up cocoa.
