I came back to a consciousness of

I was, or feel any true sense of per

by a fairly heavy sea; that It was
night and there were/stars visible lu

vacant of thought, when a figure
seemed to lean over me, and 1 caught
the outline of a face, gazing eagerly j

How's that, Captain ?''
"Mnch easier," I managed to
breathe. "I guess I am all right now.
You fished me out?"
"Sam did. He got a boat hook in
your collar. We cast off when yer
went overboard, and cruised about in
the fog hunting fer yer. Who was it
yer was flghtln' with, sir?"
"LeVere."
"That's what I told the lads. He's
a gonner, I reckon?"
"I never saw him after we sank.
Are all the men here?"
"AH but those in the forward boat,
sir. They got away furst, an' we ain't
had no sight ov 'ein since. Maybe we
will when it gets daylight. Harwood's
In charge. I give him a compass, an'
told him ter steer west. Wus thet
right?"
"All I could have told him. I haven't
had an observation, and it is all guess
work. 1 know the American coast lies
to that direction, but that is about all.
1 couldn't tell if it be a hundred, or
a hundred and fifty miles away. I
must ht^ve been in bad shape when
you pulled me in?"
"We thought you was gone, sir. You
was bleedln' some, too, but only from
flesh wounds. The young lady she
Just wouldn't let yer die. She worked
over yer for two or three hours, sir,
afore I hed any hope."
Her eyes were downcast and her
face turned away, but I reached out
my hand and clasptnl her fingers. The
mystery of the night and ocean was
in her motionless posture. Only us
her hand gently pressed mine did I
gain courage, with a knowledge that
she recognized and welcomed my pres
ence.
"Wutkins says I owe my life to you,"
I said, so low the words were scarcely
audible above the dash of water
alongside. "It will make that life more
valuable than ever before."
Slle turned her head, and I felt her
eyes searching the dim outline of my
face questioning!}*.
"Of course I did everything I knew,"
she replied. "Why should 1 not? You
are here. Captain Carlyle, for my sake;
I owe you service."
"And must I be content merely with
that thought?" I urged, far from
pleased. "This would raean that your
only interest in me arises from grati- J
tude."
"And friendship," her voice as confi
dential as my own. "There is no rea
son why you should doubt that surely."
"It w uld be easier for me to under
stand. but for the memory of what I
am—a bond slave."
"Your meaning Is that true friend
ship has as a basis equality?"
"Does It not? Can real friendship
exist otherwise?"
"No," she acknowledged gravely.
"And tte fact that such friendship j
does exist between us evidences my j
fuith in you. I have never felt this
k>fial distinction. Captain Carlyle,
have given it no thought This may ,
seem strange to you, yet Is most nat- j
ural. You bear an honorable nume, j
and belong to a family of gentlemen. I
You held a position of command, won |
by your own efforts. You bore the |
part of a man in a revolution; If guilty j
of any crime, It was a political one, in |
no way sullying your honor. I have
every reason to believe you were false
ly accused and convicted. Consequent
ly that conviction does not exist be
tween us; you are not my uncle's serv
ant, but my friend—you understand
me now?''
"And you would actually nave me
spoil k with you as of your own class—
a free man, worthy |p claim your
friendship in life?"
"Yen," frankly, her face uplifted.
"Why should it,l>e otherwise? No man (
could have done more, or proved him
self more stanch and true. We are in i
danger yet. but such peril is nothing
compared with what I have escaped. I j
feel that your skill and courage will
bring us safely to land. I am no long
er afitdd. for I have learned to trust
you. You possess my entire confi
dence."
"But do you understand fully?" I
questioned anxiously. "All I have done
for you would have been done for any
other woman un«ter the same condi
tions of danger. Buch service to an
other would have been a duty, and no
more. But to be wtth you. aiding and
protecting, has been, a delight, a joy. I
I have served Dorothy Fairfax for her
own sake—not as I would any other."
"Did you not suppose 1 knew?" !
Her glance flashed into mine through
the star-gleam, with a sudden message
of reveaiment.
"You knew—that—that It was you
personally I served?"
"Of course I knew. A woman is
never unaware of such things. Now,
if ever, I must tell you the truth. I
know you care for me. and have cared
since first we met. An interest no less
fateful ha« led H)e to seek your ac
quaintance, and give you my aid- Sure
ly it is not unmaidenly for me to con
fess this when we face the chance of.
death together?"
"But," I stammered, "I can scarcely
believe you reuMze your words. I—I
love you Dorothy."
"And Is It not also possible for mo
to. love?"
"You—you mean, you love me?"
"I love you—ar» you sorry?"
"Sorry! I am mad with the Joy of
It; yet stricken dumb. Dorothy Fair
fax, I have never even dared dream of
such a message from your lips. Dear,
dear girl, do you forget who I am?
What ray future?"
"I forget nothing," she said, proud
ly. "It is because I know what you
are that my heart responds. Nor Is
your future so clouded. You are to
day a free man if we escape these
perils, for whether .Roger Fairfax be
alive, or dead, he, will never seek you
again to hold in servitude. If alive he
will join his efforts with mine to ob
tain a B&idQB because of these aero
ices, and we have influence in Eng
land. Yet, should such effort fail, you
are a sailor, and the seas of the world'1
are free. It is not necessary that your
vessel fly the English flag."
"You give me hope—a wonderful
hope."
"And courage," her hands firmly
clasping mine. "Courage to fight on
in faith. I would have that my gift to
you, GeofTry. We are in peril still,
great peril, but you will face it beside
me, knowing that whether we live or
die we are together. 1 am not afraid
any more."
CHAPTER XXVI.
A Floating Coffin.
The laboring boat rested so low In
the water it was only as we were
thrown upward on the crest of a wave
that I could gain any view about
through the pallid light of the dawn.
It was all a desolate, restless waste
in the midst of which we tossed, while
above hung masses of dark clouds ob
scuring the sky. We were but a hur
tling speck between the gray above
and the gray below.
The first thing needing my attention
was the food and water. I crept for
ward cautiously and soon had Sain
busily engaged In passing out the vari
ous articles for Inspection. Only es
sentials had been chosen, yet the sup
ply seemed ample for the distance I
believed we would have to cover be
fore attaining land. But the nature of
that unknown coast was so doubtful I
determined to deal out the provisions
sparingly, saving every crumb pos
sible. The men grumbled at the srnall
ness of the ration, yet munched away
contentedly enough, once convinced
that we all shared alike. '
"All right, lads," I said cheerfully.
"Now we understand each other and
can get at work. We'll divide into
watches first of all—two men aft here
and one at the bow. Watkins and I
will take It watch and watch, but
there is enough right now for all hands
to turn to and make the craft ship
shape. Two of you bail oat that water
till she's dry, and the others get out
that extra sail forward and rig up u
Jib. She'll ride easier and make better
progress with more canvas showing."
The men gradually knocked off work
and lay down, and finally I yielded to
Dorothy's pleadings and fell Into a
sound sleep. It seemed as though I
scarcely lost consciousness, yet I must
have slept for an hour or more, my
nead pillowed on her lap. When I
awoke Schraitt was again at the steer
ing paddle, and both he and Dorothy
were staring across me out over the
port quarter.
"What is It?" I asked eagerly, but
before the words were entirely Uttered
u hoarse voice forward bawled out ex
citedly :
"There you see it; straight out agin
that cloud edge. It's a full-rigged
schooner."
"Ay," boomed another, "an' headin'
straight cross our course astern."
I readied my feet, clinging to the
mast to keep erect and, as the boat
was again flung upward, gained clearly
the glimpse I sought.
"Ay, you're right, lads!" I exclaimed.
"It's a schooner, headed to clear us by
a hundred fathoms. Fort your helm,
Schmitt—hard down. man. Now, Sam,
off with that red shirt; tie it on the
boat hook and let fly. They can't
help seeing us If there la any watch on
uec*."
We swept about in a wide circle,
hended straight across the bows of (he
on-coming vessel. All eyes stared put
watchfully. Sum's shirt flapping above
us, mid botli Wutkins and Schmitt
straining their muscles to hold the
plunging quarter.boat against the force
of the wind. A man forward on his
knees growled out a curse,
"What's the matter aboard thereJ'L
nr yeirea. *"Uia yer ever see a boat
yaw like that, afore? Damn me, If I
believe they got a hand at the wheel."
The same thought had leaped into
my mind. The schooner was headed
to pass us on the port quarter, yet ]
yawing so crazlly at times as to make |
me fearful of being run down. I could
perceive no sign of life aboard, no ^
signal that we had been seen. The sight
angered me.
We Swept By in a Large Circle.
"Stand by," all hands," I cried des
perately. "We'll board whether they
want us or not. Slip across, Miss Fair
fax, out of the way. Now, Watklns,
run us in under those fore-chains;
easy man, don't let her strike us. Lay
hold quick, lads, and hang on for your
lives. Give me that end of rope—
ready now, all of you; I'll make the
leap. Now then—hold hard!"
It was five feet, and up, my pur
chase the tossing boat, but I made it,
one hand desperately gripping a
shroud, until I gained balance and was
flung inboard by a sharp plunge of the
vessel. My head was at a level with
the rail, yet I saw nothing, my whole
effort being to make fast before the
grip of the men should be torn loose.
This done, I glanced back into the up
turned faces below.
"Hand In slowly, lads; yes, let go,
the rope will hold, and the boat ride
safely through. Let a couple of mep
come up till we see what's wrong with
the hooker—the rest of you trail on.
Let Schmltt and Sam come with me."
I helped them clamber up and then
lifted my body onto the rail, from
which position I had a clear view of
the forward deck. It was inex
pressibly dirty, yet otherwise ship
shape enough. Nothing human greet
ed me, and conscious of a strange feel
ing of horror, I slipped over onto the
deck. The next moment the negro and
Dutchman Joined me, the former star
ing about wildly, the whites of his
eyes revealing his terror.
"My Gawd, sah," he ejaculated. "Ah
done know dis bout—it's shore de
Santa Marie. Ah's cooked in dat gal
ley. She was a slaver, sah." He
sniffed the air. "A kin smell deui nig
gers right now, sah. Ah suah reckon
dars a bunch o' ded opes under dcrn
hatches right dis minute."
Sciupttt's baud fell heavily on my
sjeeve and | glanced into his stolid
face,
"I Just bet I know vat wus der trou
ble,"
"What, man?"
"Cholera," he whispered; "ve haf
boarded a death ship."
