ScrnKRfl hfui urown up around the docks of Sun Krancluco, nml from mess boy on a rlvur atcamer, rlHen to the ownership of the tcatnar MsirrIo. Blncn ouch annual In spection promlard to b the lust of the old wcathrrbeaton vessnl, SrniKica naturally lias nomo dimciilty In securing ft crew. When the Btory opens, Adelbert P. Clhncy, Itknbto, but erratic, i man whom nobody but BcraBirs would hire, Ih tho skipper, Nolls Holvorsen, a solemn Swede, consti tutes the forcastto hands, ami Ilnrt Mo CJufloy, a waMrol of the Olbney type, relKns In the enulne room. With this motley crew and his ancient vessel, Cap tain Scraui s Is ennaKOd In freighting gar den truck from Hnlfmoon bay to Ban I'Yanclsco. The Inevitable happens, the HnKRle going ashore In a fog. A panning vessel hailing the wrerk, Mr. Qlbney gets word to a towing company In San Krancleco that the ship ashore Is tkt Yankee Prince, with promise of 'a rich salvage. CHAPTER III Continued. That'll do, bosun," Olbney thun derctl. Then, In bis natural voice, to Scruggs: "All net, Scrnggsy. Gupbh we're rendy to bo pulled off. Get down In the engine room nud stand by for full speed abend when I give the word." "Quick I Hurry I" Scrnggs entreated as he disappeared through the little engine-room lintch, for the tide was now at the tip of the flood and the Mngglo was bumpliiR wickedly and driving further up the bench. Mr. Gib ncy turned his stovepipe sen ward nntl shouted: "Tugboats, nboyl" "Ahoyl" they answered In unison. "All rendy I Let'er go-o-o-ol" Thn Squarehead stntloned himself at the bltlH with a lantern and Mr. Olbney hastened, to the pilot house nntl tool; his pluccnf the wheel. When the haw sers commenced to lift out of the sen, Tho Squarehead gave n wnrnhiR shout, whereupon Mr. Olbney called the en gine room. "Give her the gun," be commnnded Scruggs. "I'till URnlnst them tugs for nil you're worth. He member this Is the steamer Yankee I'rlnoe. We must not come off too readily." Captain ScrnRgs opened tho throttle, and while the two ttiRs stendlly drew her off Into deep water, the Magpie fought valiantly to stick to the bearh and even to continue her Interrupted Journey overland. She merely suc ceeded In stretching both hawsers taut; slowly she wits drawn senwnrd, stem llrst, mid at- the expiration of fifteen minutes' steady pulling, Mr. Olb ney could restrain himself no longer. He rang for full speed astern and got It promptly. Then, culling Nells Hal vorscii to alii him, he abandoned the wheel nml scrambled aft. With no one nt the wheel, the Mag gie Mint off at a tangent and the haw sers slacked Immediately. In the twin kling of an eye Mr. Olbney had cast them off, and as the ends disappeared with n swish 'over the stern he ran Mr. Glbney Turned His Stovepipe Sea ward and Shouted: "Turjboats, Ahoyl" buck to the pilot house, rnng for fuJl epeed ahead, put his helm hard over, .and hcmlcd the Maggie In the general direction of China, although as a mat ter of fact he cared not whnt direction ho pursued, provided he got away from the bench and placed distance between the Maggie nnd two soon-to-bo-furlous tugboat skippers. CHAPTER IV. Tho crews of the Aphrodite and the Bodega Blept inte, for they were weary and, fortunnteJy, no cnllB for a tug came Into the office of tho Red Stnck company all morning. About ten o'clock Dan Hicks and Jack Ha. Tierty breakfasted and about ten-thirty both met In tho office. Apparently they were two souIr with but a single thought, for the right hand of each sought the shelf whereon reposed the blue volume entitled "Lloyd's Regis ter." Dan Hicks reached it first, car EE1Q PEA CTdSMRTl ried It to the counter, wet his lurry Index linger und started turning the pages In u vain search for the Ameri can steamer Yankee Prince. Presently he looked up nt Jnck i'Mnherty. "Flaherty," he sold, "I think you're n liar." "The snme to you nnd many of them," Flnherty replied, not ft bit ubnshe'd. "You sold she was an eight thousand-ton tramp." "I nove'r went so far as to any I'd been aboard her on trial trip, though and did cut down her tonnage, show In' I got the fragments of u con science left," Hicks defended himself. He closed the book with a nigh and placed It hack on the shelf, Just as the door opened to admit no less personage than Bartholomew McOuf- fey, late chief engineer, first assist ant, second assistant, third assistant wiper, oiler, wnter-tender and stoker of the S. S. Maggie. With a brief nod to Jack Flaherty Mr. McGtiffey ap pronched Dnn Hicks. "I been lookln for yon, captain," he announced. "Soy, I hear the chief o the Aphrodite's goln' to take a three months' layoff to get abet of his rheu matism. Is that straight?" "I believe It Is. McGuffey.M "Well, say, I'd like to have a chance to 8tihstltoot for him. You know my capabilities, Hicks, an' If it would be agreeable to you to hnve me for your chief your recommendation would go n long wny townrd landln' mo the Job. I'd sure make them engines behave." "What vessel have you been on late ly?" Hicks' demanded cautiously, for he knew Mr. McGuffey's reputntlon for non-rellnblllty around pay dny. "I been with thnt freshwnter senven ger. Scruggs, In the Mngglo for most n year." "Did you quit or did Scraggs fire you?" "He fired me." McGtiffey replied honestly. "If be hadn't I'd hnve quit, ro It's a toss-up. Comln' In from Hnlfmoon bny Inst night we got In the fog nn' piled up- on the bench Jib below the Cliff bouse " "This Is Interesting," Jnck Flnherty murmured. "You say she walked ashore on you, McGtiffey? Well, I'll be shot!" "She did. Scraggs blamed It on me, Flaherty. He said I didn't obey the slgnnls from the bridge, one word led to another, nn' he went dnncln' mad nn' ordered me off bis ship. Well, It's his ship or It was bis ship, for I'll bet a dollar she's ground to powder by now so nil I could do was obey. I hopped overbonrd nn' waded ashore. I suppose all my clothes nn' things Is gone by now. I left everything aboard an' hnd to borrow this outfit from Scnb Johnny." He grinned pathetical ly. "So I guess you understniid. Cap lain llleks. Just bow bad I need that Job I spoke about n minute ngo." "I'll think It over, Mae, nn' let you know," Hides replied evasively. Mr. MeOulTey, sensing bis defeat, retired forthwith to hide his embar rassment and distress; as the door closed behind him, Hicks nnd Flaherty fnced each other. "Jack," quoth Dan Hicks, "can two towbont men, hnldln' down two hundred-dollar Jobs an' presumed to have been out o" their swaddlln' clothes for at lenst thirty years, afford to be laughed olt the San Francisco water front?" "I know one of them thnt can't, Dnn. At tho ijiiinc time, can u rat like I'hlnens P. Scruggs mid tt beachcomb er like his mate Olbney make a pair of star-spangled monkeys out of snld two towbont men nnd get awuy with It?" "They did thnt last night. Still, I've known monkeys that would light nn' wns human enough to settle a grudge. Follow me, Jnck." Together they repaired to Jackson street bulkhead. Sure enough, there lay the Mngglo, rubbing her blistered sides against the bulkhead. Captain Scraggs was nowhere In sight, but Mr. Olbney was at the winch, swinging ashore the cnites of vegctitldes which The Squnrehend nnd three longshore men loaded Into the cargo net. "We're outnumbered," Jnck Flaherty whispered. "Let's wait until she's un loaded nn' Olbney an' Scruggs are aboard alone." They retired without having nt- trncted the attention of Mr. Glbney. Promptly at twelve o'clock the long shoremen knocked off work for the lunch hour nnd Nells Ilnlvorsen drifted neross the street to cool his parched tbront with steam beer. While waiting for Scraggs to come up out of the engine room, and take him to luncheon, Mr. Glbney sauntered nft und wns standing gazing reflectively upon a spot on the Maggie's stern where the hnwsers hnd chafed nway the pnlnt, when suddenly his fore bodlngs of evil returned to him n thou sand fold stronger than they hnd been since Scraggs' return to the little ship. He glanced up und beheld gazing down upon hlra Captains Jack Fln herty and Daniel nicks. Dnttln wns Imminent and the valiant Glbney knew It; wherefore he determined In stantly to meet It like a man. "Howdy, men," ho suluted them. "Olnd to have you uboard the yncht," and he stepped backward to give him self fighting room. If of"' I -MAN'S I A T f T7VT S "WEBSTER- MAN, "THE VALLEY of the GIANTS," Etc. "Here's where wo collect the tow age bill on the S. S. Yankee Prince," Dan Hicks Informed him, und leaped from the bulkhead straight down nt Mr. Glb'ey. Jack Flaherty followed. Mr. Glbney welcomed Cuptaln llleks with a terrific right Bwlng, which missed; before he could guurd, Dan Hicks hud planted left nnd right where they would do the most good und Mr. Glbney went Into u clinch to save himself further punishment. "Scrnggsy," he bawled, "Scrngg-sy-y-yl Help I Murder I It's Hicks ttud Fluhertyl Bring an ax I" He flung Dan Hicks at Jack Fla herty; as they collided he rushed In nnd dealt each of them a powerful poke. However, Messrs. Hicks and Flnherty were sizeable persons and while, Individually, they were no match for the tremendous Glbney, "Scrarjfjsy," He Bawled, "Scraggoy-y-yl Holpl Murder! It's Hicks and Fla herty! Bring an Axl" nevertheless what they lacked In horsepower they mndo up In pugnacity nud the salt sea seldom breeds a craven. Captnln Scraggs thrust a frightened face up through the engine room lintch, but nt sight of the buttle royal taking place on the deck nft, his blood turned to water nnd he thought only of escape. To climb up to the bulkhead without being seen wns Impossible, however, so, not knowing what else to do, ho stood on the Iron Indtler nnd gazed, pop-eyed with horror, at the unequal contest. Backward and forward the tide of battle surged. For nearly three min utes all Scraggs saw was an Indis tinct tangle of legs nnd arms; then suddenly the combatants disengaged themselves and Scraggs beheld Mr. Olbney prone upon the deck with n gory face upturned to the foggy skies. When he essayed to rise and continue the contest, Flaherty kicked him In the ribs nnd Hicks cursed him; so Mr. Olbney, realizing that till was over, beat the deck with his hnnd In token of surrender. Hicks nnd Fln herty waited until the fallen gladia tor hnd recovered sulllclent breath to sit up; then they pounced upon him. lifted him to the rail, nnd dropped him overboard. Captain Scraggs shrieked In protest at this added touch of bar barity, and Dan Hicks, turning, be held Scrnggsy's (White fuce nt the hatch. "You're next, Scraggs," he calied cheerfully, and turned to peer over the rr.ll. Mr. Ojbney had emerged on the surface and wns swimming slowly awny toward nn adjacent float where small boats landed. He climbed wearily up on the float and sat there, gazing neross ut Hicks and Flaherty without animus, for to his way of thinking be, had gotten off lightly, con sidering the enormity of bis offense. Tbe least he had anticipated was three tiutitliy In hospital, and so grateful wau he to Hicks and Flaherty for their forbearanco that he strangled n resolve to "lay" for Hicks and Fla herty nnd thrush them Individually--something ho was fully able to do und forgot his aches and pains in u lively Interest us to the fate of Cap tain Scraggs nt the bunds of tho tow bout men. He wns aware thnt Cup taln Scraggs hnd fulled Ignomliilously to rnlly to tho Glbney nppeal to repel boarders, nnd In his own expressive terminology he hoped thnt whnt the enemy would do to the dastard would be "a-plenty." The enemy, meanwhile, hnd turned their attention upon Scruggs, who hud dodged below like a frightened rnbblt nnd nought shelter In the shaft nlley, Ho had sufllclent presence of mind, us he dashed through the engine room, to snatch a large monkey wrench off the tool rack on the wall, nnd, kneeling Just lnslde the alley entrance he turned at bay and threatened the In vaderu with his weapon. Thereupon Hicks and Flnherty pelted him with lumps of conJ, but the solo result of this assault was to force Scraggs oAttthor of- further back Into the sliuft ulley und out o( range. The toutiont men held n council of war and decided to drown Scraggs out. Dilu Hicks ran up on deck und re turned dragging the deck lire hose be hind him, tie thrust the brass nozzle Into the shal't-nlley entrance and In vited Scraggs to surrender uncondi tionally or bo drowned like u kitten. Scraggs, knowing his own tire hose, defied them, so Dnn Hicks started the pump while Flaherty turned on the water. Instantly the hose burst up on deck and Scraggs' Jeers of triumph filled the engine room. The enemy was about to draw lots to see which one of Ibe two should crawl Into the shaft nlley and throw u cupful of chloride of lime (for they found a can of this In the engine room) In Captain Scrnggs' tyiee, when n shadow dark ened the hatch and Mr. Bartholomew McGtiffey demanded belligerently: "Whin's goln' on down there? Who the devil's tnkln' liberties In my en gine room?" Dun Hicks explained the situation and the Just cause for drastic action which they held against the fugitive In tho shaft alley. Mr. McGtiffey con sidered h few moments and made his decision. "If what you say Is true an' I ain't In position to dispute you, not bavin' been present when you hauled tho Maggie off the beach, I don't hlame you for feeling sore. What I do blame you for, though, is carryln' the war aboard the Maggie. If you wanted to whale Gib an' Scrnggsy you should ha' laid for 'em on the dock. Under the circumstances, you make this a per s'nal affair, an' as a member o' the crew o' the Maggie I got to tuko a hand an defend my skipper nglii yousc two. Fact Is, gentlemen, I got a date to lick him first for what he done to me last night, nowsumever, that's a private grouch. The fact remains that you two Jumped my pal Bert Glbney an' licked him somethln' scandalous. Hicks, I'll tnkc you on first. Come up out of there, you swab, and fight. Fla herty, you stay below until I send for you ; If you try to climb up an' horn In on my fight with Hicks, Glbney'U brain you." A faint cheer enme from the shaft nlley. "Good old Mne. At-n-boy!" "You're on, McGuffcy. Nobody ever bad to beg me to fight him," Dan Hicks replied cordially, nnd climbed to the deck. To his great surprise, Mr. McGtiffey winked nt him nnd drew him off to the stern of the Maggie. "There'll be no tight," he declared, "although we'll thud around on deck nn' yell n couple o times to make Scraggs think we're goln' to It. He Aggers thnt by the time I've fought you an' Flnherty I won't be fit for combat with him, even If I lick you both; he's got It nil flggered out thnt I'll wait a couple o' days before tncklln' him, on' he thinks my tem poral cool by thnt time an' he can nrR.v me out o' my revenge. Suvey?" "I twig." Mr. Glbney hnd returned to the Maggie by this time nnd he now took his stntlon at the engine-room hatch nnd growled nt Flaherty nnd nbused him. "Keep up your cournge, Scrnggsy," he culled, ns Illcks nnd Mc Gtiffey pranced nround the deck In simulated combat. "Mae's whalln' the whey out o' Hicks an' Illcks couldn't touch him with a buggy whip." At the conclusion of the three min utes of horse-play, Mr. McGtiffey came to the lintch again. "Up with you, Flaherty," he called loud enough for Captain Scraggs to hear, "up with you before I go down nftor you " Flnherty wns uboiit to possess him self of u hatchet when the face of his confrere. Dan Illcks, appeared over McGuffey's shoulder nnd grinned knowingly nt him. Immediately, Fln herty hurled defiance at Ills enemies and came up on deck, and once more to Captain Scruggs onme the dull sounds of apparent conflict overhead. Suddenly a cheer broke from Mr. Olbney. "All off an' gone to Cooper- town, Scrnggsy," he shouted. "Come up nn' take n look nt the fnllen." Out of the shnft nlley came Scraggs with n rush, tossing his wrench nslde the better to climb the ladder. He wns hnlf wny up when Mr. Glbney reached down n great hand, grasped him by the collar, nnd whisked him out on deck with n single Jerk. Here, to his horror, he found himself confronted by a singularly scnthless trio who grinned triumphantly nt him. "Seeln' Is bellevln', Scraggs." Dan Illcks Informed him. "That's a lesson you taught me nn' Flaherty last night, I.... I., .1.. ...... . !..,, ....,.,1, 1... ;iv- IIIUl UVIUL'IIIIJ .Villi Ullll I HUlll "J -nerlenee. You're too miserable to beat up, but Just to show you It uln't possible 1'or n dirty bay pirate like j on lo skin the likes o' me an' Fla herty we purjiose luingln' the seut o' your piiutK up around your coat col lar. Fuce him about, Glbney." With n quick twist, Mr. Olbney pre sented Cuptuln Scraggs for bis pen ance; Flaherty nnd McGtiffey followed Dan Illcks promptly and Captnln Scraggs screamed nt every kick. And now came Mr. Olbney's turn. "For fnllln' to stand up like n mnn, Scrnggsy. an' bnttle Illcks tin' Fln herty," he Informed the culprit, nud tossed him over to McOuffey to be held In position for him. "Don't, Gib. Please don't," Scrnggs walled. "It ain't comln' to mo from you. I never beard you cnllln' n-tnll. Honest, I never, Gib. Have mercy, Adelbert. You saved tho Maggie last night nn' a quarter Interest in her Is yours If you don't kick mel" Mr. Glbney paused, foot In midair; surveyed the Maggie from stem to stern, hesitated, licked his lower lip, and glanced at Uie common enemy. For nn Instant It came Into bis mind to call upon tho valknnt nnd able Mc Ouffey to support him In a fierce counter-attack upon Hicks and Flaherty. Only for an Instnnt, however; then his sense of fair play conquered. "No, Scraggsy," he replied sadly. "She ain't worth It, un' your duplicity can't be overlooked. If there's any thing I hate It's duplicity. Here goes, Scraggsy nnd get yourself a new nnvlgntln' ofllccr." Scruggs twisted nnd flinched In stoutly, nnd Mr. Olbney's great boot missed the murk. "Ah," he breathed, "I'll give you nn extra for thnt." "Don't! I'lenso don't," Scrnggs howled. "I.ny ofTn me nn' I'll put In n now boiler nn hnve the compass ad justed." The words were no sooner out of his mouth tbnn Mr. MeOulTey swung him clear of Mr. Olbney's wrath. "Swenr It," ho hissed, "liaise your right hand nn' swear It an' I'll pro tect you from Gib." Captain Scraggs raised n trembling right hand nnd swore It. "I'll get n new lire hose nn' Are buckets; I'll fix the aMi hol.st und run the bedbugs an' cockroaches out of her," bo added. "You hear thnt. Gib?" McGufTey pleaded. "Hnve a henrt." "Not unless he gives her n coat of paint nn' quits blckerln' about the overtime, Bart." "I promise," Scraggs answered him. "Pervlded," he added, "you an dear ol' Mac promises to stick by the ship." "It's a whack," yelled McGufTey Joy fully, and whirling, struck Dan Hicks a mighty blow on the Jnw. "Off our ship, you hoodlum'!." He favored Jack FJnherty with n hearty thump and swung again on Dnn Illcks. "At 'em, Scraggsy. Here's where you prove to Gib whether you're a man thump or a mouse thump or a thump, thump bobtnlled thump fat." Dan Hicks had been upset, nnd as be sprawled on his back on deck, he appeared to Captnln Scraggs to offer nt least an even chance for victory. So Scraggs, mustering his courage, flew at poor Illcks tooth and toenail. His best was not much but It served to keep Dnn Hicks off Mr. McGtiffey while the Intter wns disposing of Jnck Flnherty, which he did, vln the rnll, even ns tho towbont men hnd disposed of Mr. Glbney. Dnn Illcks followed Flnherty,' nnd the crew of the Mngglo crowded the rnll ns the enemy swam to the flont, crawled up on It and de parted, vowing vengeance. "All's well thnt ends well, gentle men," Mr. McOuffey announced. "Scrnggsy's goln' to buy a drink nn the past Is burled nn' forgotten. Didn't old Scraggsy put up a fight, Gib?" "No, but he tried to, Mac. I'll tell the world he did," nnd. he thrust out the bend of forgiveness to Scraggsy, who, realizing he hnd come very hnnd- "I'll Fix the Ash Hoist and Run the Bedbugs and Cockroaches Out of Her." somely out of an unlovely situation, clasped the hands of Mr. Olbney and McGufTey nnd burst Into tears. While Sir. McOuffey thumped him betweun the shoulder blades and cursed him at fectlonntely, Mr. Olbney retired to change Into dry garments; when he reappeared the trio went ashore for the promised grog and n luncheon nt the skipper's expense. This Scragg person it some fine little promisor. (TO Ui; CO.NTINUKD.) Rapid Americanization.
