CHAPTER XV Continued.
Two hours of torrlblo work followed,
in which all hands of ua two hunters,
throo sailors, Wolf Larson and I
roofed, first ono and tho other, tho
Jib and mainsail. And whon all was
dono, I gavo up llko a woman and
rolled upon tho deck In tho agony of
exhaustion.
In tho moantlmo Thomas Mugrldgo,
llko a drowned rat, was being dragged
out from undor tho forecasts head,
whoro ho had cravenly onsconccd
hlmsolf. I saw him pulled aft to tho
cabin and noted with a shock of sur
prise that tho galloy had disappeared.
A clean spaco of dock showed whoro
It had stood,
In tho cabin I found all hands as
nombled, sailors as well, and while
cotfoo was bolng cookod over tho Bmall
etovo wo drank whisky and crunched
hardtack.
"To hell with a lookout," I hoard
Wolf Larson Bay whon wo had oaton
and drunk our fill. "Thoro's nothing
can ho dono on deck. If anythlng's
going to run us down wo couldn't got
out of Ua way. Turn in. all hands,
and got somo Bleep,"
Tho sailors slipped forward, sotting
tho Bldo-IIght8 as thoy wont, whllo tho
two huntors remained to sloop In tho
cabin, It not bolng deemed advlsablo
to opon tho slldo to tho stoorago com
panlonway. Wolf Larson and I, bo
tweon us, cut off Korfoot'B crushed
flngor and sowed up tho stump. Mug

boon compollcd to cook and Borvo cof

that ho had a broken rib or two. On
examination wo found that ho had

that I did not know anything about

road it up.
"I don't think it waD worth it," I
eald to Wolf Larson, "a brokon boat
for Kolly'B llfo."
"Dut Kolly dlfln't amount to much,"
was tho roply. "Good night."
After all that had passod, sufforlng
Intolerable anguish In my flngor ends,
and with throo boatB missing, to say
nothing of tho wild capers tho Ghost
was cutting, I should havo thouglit it
hnposslblo to sleop, Dut my oyos
must havo closed tho Instant my head
touchod tho pillow, and In utter ex
haustion I Blopt throughout tho night,

Tho next day, whllo tho Btorm was
blowing ltsolf out, Wolf Larson and I
crammed anatomy and surgery nnd
not Mugrldgo'a ribs. Thon, whon tho
atorra broke, Wolf Larson crulsod
back and forth over that portion of
tho ocean whoro wo had oncounterod
it, and somewhat moro to tho west
ward, while the boats woro bolng re

paired and new sails mado nnd bent.
Scaling schooner after scaling schoon
er wo sighted nnd boarded, most of
which woro In search of lost boats,
and most of which woro carrying
boats and crews thoy had picked up
and which did not belong to them.
For tho thick of tho fleet had been
to tho westward of us, and tho boats,
scattered far and wldo, had headed In
mad flight for tho nearost rcfugo.
Two of our boats, with mon all safe,
wo took oft tho Cisco, and, to Wolf
Larson's hugo doltght and my own
grief, ho culled Smoke, Nllson nnd
Leach, from tho San Diego. So that,
at tho ond of flvo days, wo found our
selves short but four mon Hender
son, Holyoak, Williams and Kolly
nnd wcro once moro hunting on tho
flanks of tho hord.
But Wolf Larson, as was to bo ex
pected, bolng n boat short, took pos
session of tho first stray ono and com
pelled Its men to hunt with tho Ghost,
not permitting them to roturn to tholr
own schooner whon wo sighted It. I
remember how ho forced tho huntor
and his two men bolow, a rlflo at their
brcastB, whon tholr cnptaln passod by
at blscult-toss and hailed us for In
formation. I was learning moro and moro sea
manship; and ono clenr day a thing
wo rnroly oncountorcd now I had tho
satisfaction of running nnd handling
tho Ghost nnd picking up tho boats
mysolf. Wolf Larson had been Btnlt
ton with ono of his headaches, and I
stood nt tho whool from morning un
til evening, sailing across tho ocean
after tho last loo boat and heaving to
and picking it and tho other flvo up
without command or suggestion from
him.
Gales wo oncountorod now and
again, for it was a raw and stormy
region, and, in tho middlo of Juno, a
typhoon most momornblo to mo and
most Important becauso of tho
changes wrought through It upon my
future Wo must havo boon well In
tho path of tho Transpacific steam
ships whon tho typhoon modorated,
and hero, to tho surprlso of tho hunt
ers, wo found ourselves in tho mldBt
of tho seals a socond hord, or sort
of rear guard, thoy declared, and a
most unusual thing. Dut It was "Doata
over I " tho boom-boom of guns, and
tho pitiful slaughter through tho long
day.
It was at this tlmo that I was ap
proached by Leach. I had Just fin
ished tallying tho skins of tho last
boat aboard, whon ho camo to my side,
in tho darkness, and said in a low
tone:
"Can you toll mo, Mr. Van Woydon,
how far wo aro off tho coast, and what
tho bearings of Yokohama aro?"
My heart loaned with gladnesB, for
I know what ho had in mind, and 1
gavo him tho bearings west-northwest
and flvo hundred mllos away.
"Thank you, sir," was all ho said
as ho slipped back into tho darkness.
Next morning No. 3 boat and John
Bon nnd Leach woro missing. Wolf
Larson was furlouB. It was llko look
ing for a nocdlo in a haystack to ralso
that tiny boat out of tho bluo immen
sity. But ho put tho Ghost through
hor best pneos so as to got botwoon
tho dosortors nnd tho land. This ac
complished, ho cruised back and forth
across what ho know must bo tholr
courso.
On tho morning of tho third day,
shortly after eight bolls, a cry that tho
boat was sighted camo down from
Smoko at tho masthead. All hands
llnod tho rail, and there, to leeward,
In tho troubled silver of tho rising
sun, appeared and dlsappoarod a black
spock. Wo squared away and ran for
It. I lookod nt tho gleam of triumph
In Wolf Larson's oyos, his form Bwnm
boforo mo and I felt almost irresist
lbly Unpolled to fling mysolf upon htm
Tho boat was nenr enough now for us
to mnko out thnt It was largor than
any sonllng bont and built on differ
ont linos. Smoko, who hnd doscondod
to tho dock and was now standing by
my sldo, began to chucklo In n slgntll
cant way. I looked at him Inquiringly.
"Tnlk of a mess!" ho giggled. "Don't
you soo thoro, In tho storn-sheets, on
tho bottom. May I novar shoot n seal
again if that ain't u woman I"
I lookod closely, but wns not sure
until oxclamntlons broko out on nil
Bides. Tho boat contained four mon
and Its flfth occupant was cortalnly ft
woman. Wo woro agog with oxclto
mont, nil oxcopt Wolf Larson, who wbb
evidently disappointed In that It was
not his own bont with tho two victims
of his mnllco.
Wo ran down tho flying Jib, hauled
tho Jlb-sheots to windward and tho
main shoot flat, and enmo up Into tho
wind. I now caught ray first gllmpso
of tho woman. Sho was wrappod In a
long ulstor, for tho morning was raw
and I could soo nothing but hor faco
and a mass of light brown hair oscap
Ing from undor tho soaman's cap on
hor head. Tho oyos woro largo and
brown and lUBtrous, tho mouth sweot
and sonsltlvo, nnd tho fnco ltsolf
dollcato oval, though sun and oxpos
uro to briny wind had burnt tho faco
scarlet. Whon ono of tho sailors lift
od hor Into Wolf Larson's down
Btrotchcd arms, Bho lookod up Into our
curious faces and smllod amusedly
and sweetly, as ouly a woman can
smllo, nnd as I had seen no ono smllu
for so long that I had forgottou such
smiles existed.
"Mr. Van Woydcnl"
Wolf Larson's volco brought mo
sharply back to mysolf.
"'Will you take tho lady below nnd
seo to hor comfort? Mako up that
spare port cabin. Put Cooky to work
on It. And seo what you can do for
that faco. It's burned badly."
Ho turned brusquely nwny from us
and began to question tho now men.
Tho boat was cast adrift, though ono
of them called It a "bloody shamo"
with Yokohama bo near.
"No need to go to any great troublo
for me," sho protested, when 1 had
seated her In Wolf Larson's armchair,
which I had dragged hastily from his
cabin. "Tho men woro looking for
land at any momont this morning, and
tho vossol should bo In by night; don't
you think so?"
Her simple faith In tho Immediate
futuro took mo aback. How could I
explain to her tho situation, tho
strango man who stalked tho sea like
Destiny, all that it had taken mo
months to learn? But I answered hon
estly: "If it woro any other captain except
ours, I should say you would bo ashore
In Yokohama tomorrow. But our cap
tain Is a strango man, and I beg of
you to bo propnred for anything, un
derstand? for anything."
"I I confess I hardly do under
stand," sho hesitated, a perturbed but
not frightened expression In hor eyes.
Or Is it a misconception of mlno that
shipwrecked people aro always shown
every consideration? This is such a
little thing, you know. Wo aro bo
closo to land."
"Candidly, I do not know," I strovo
to renssuro her. "I wished merely to
proparo you for tho worst, If tho
worst Is to come. This man, this
captain, Is a bruto, a demon, and ono
can never tell what will bo his noxt
fantastic act."
I was growing excited, but sho in
terrupted mo with an "Oh, I seo," and
hor volco sounded weary. To think
was patently an effort. Sho was clear
ly on tho verge of physical collapso.
had quite forgotten tho existence of
Leach and Johnson, when suddenly,
llko a thunderclap, "Boat ho!" camo
down tho open companlonway. It was
Smoke's unmlstakablo volco, crying
from tho masthead.
There woro swift commands on
deck, a stamping of fcot and a slap
ping of roef-polnts as tho Ghost shot
Into tho wind nnd about on the other
tack. As sho filled away and heeled,
tho armchair began to slldo across the
cabin floor, and I sprang for it Just
in tlmo to prevent tho rescued woman
from being spilled out.
Her oyos woro too heavy to suggest
moro than a hint of tho sleepy sur
prise that pcrploxcd hor as sho looked
up at mo, and sho halt stumbled, half
tottered, as I led her to her cabin.
Mugrldgo grinned Insinuatingly In my
face as J shoved him out and ordered
him back to his galley work; and ho
won his rovengo by spreading glow
ing reports among tho hunters as to
what an excellent "lydy's mydo" I was
proving mysolf to bo.
CHAPTER XVII.
I camo on deck to And tho Ghost
heading up closo on tho port tack and
cutting In to windward of a familiar
sprltsall closo hauled on tho same
tack ahead of us. All hands woro on
dock, for thoy know that something
was to happen whon Loach and John
son woro dragged aboard.
Wolf Larson strode aft from amid
ships, whoro ho hod been talking with
tho roscued mon. Tho catlike spring!
ness in his trend was a little more pro
nounced than usual, and his oyos wero
bright and snappy.
"Throo oilers and a fourth ongi
noor," was his groetlng. "But we'll
mnko sailors out of thom, or boat
pullorB at any rato. Now, what of tho
lady?"
I know not why, but I was awaro
of a twlngo or pang, like tho cut of a
kitlfo, when he mentioned her. 1
thought It a cortaln silly fastidious
ness on my pnrt, but It persisted In
splto of mo, and I moroly shrugged
my shoulders In answer.
Wolf Larson pursed his lips In a
long, qutzzlcnl whlstlo.
"What's hor namo?" ho demanded.
"I don't know," I replied. "Sho Is
nsloop. Sho was very tired. In fact.
I was waiting to hear tho nows from
you. What vossol wns It?"
"Mail steamer," ho answered short
ly. "Tho City of Tokyo, from 'Frisco
bound for Yokohama. Disabled in that
typhoon. Old tub. Oponed up top nnd
bottom llko a sieve. Thoy woro adrift
four dnys. And you don't know who
or what sho Is, oh? maid, wifo or
widow? Wolt. woll."
Ho shook his head In a bantering
way, and regarded mo with laughing
oyes.
"Aro you " I begnn. It was on tho
vorgo of my tongue to ask If ho woro
going to tako the castaways In to Yo
kohama.
"Am I whnt?" ho askod.
"What do you Intend doing with
Lcnch and Johnson?"
Ho shook his head. "Really, Hump
I don't know. You seo, with theso ad
dltlons I'vo about all tho crow
want."
"And thoy'vo about all tho escaping
thoy want," I said. "Why not glvo
them a chnngo of treatment? Tako
them aboard and deal gently with
thom. Vnntovor thoy havo dono thoy
huvo been hounded into doing."
"By mo?"
"By you," I answered steadily. "And
I glvo you warning, Wolf Larson, that
I may forgot lovo of my own llfo in
tho deslro to kill you If you go too
far In maltroatlng thoso poor
wretches."
"Bravo!" ho cried. "You do mo
proud, Hump! You'vo found your logs
with a vengeance You'ro qulto an
Individual. You woro unfortunate In
having your llfo cast In easy places,
hut you'ro developing, and I llko you
tho hotter for It."
His volco nnd expression changed
Ills faco wns serious. "Do you bo-
llovo In promises?" ho nsked. "Are
thoy sacred things?"
"Of courso," I answered.
"Then hero Is a compnet," ho wont
on, consummate actor that ho wns. "If
I promlso not to lay my hands upon
Loach nnd Johnson, will you promlso.
in turn, not to nttempt to kill mo?"
I could hardly bollovo my oars.
What was coming ovor tho man?
"Is It a go?" ho asked Impatiently.
"A go." I nnsworcd.
Ills hand wont out to mlno, and as I
shook It heartily I could havo sworn 1
saw tho mocking dovll Bhlno up for a
momont In his eyes.
Wo strolled across tho poop to tho

waved my hand to him, and ha an
swered the greeting, but with a wave
that was hopeles And despairing, It

for ho was looking at Wolf Larsen, the

Personal Wit
nessing for Christ
By REV. JAMES M. GRAY, D.D.
Dean of the Moody Bible Initltute
of Chicago
TEXT Ye shall be witnesses unto me.
ActH 1:8.
A true witness dellvereth souls. Prov.
(4:25.
These Scriptures sot boforo us tho
reason that truo Christians, saved
men and women,
aro left on tho
earth. If "to do
part and bo with
Christ 1b far bet
t o r," a s Paul
wroto tho Philip
plans, tho wonder
Is that Christ who
loved his peoplo
well enough to
dio for them, did
not tako thom to
bo with him in
heaven as soon
as ho saved them,
as soon as thoy
woro regenerated
by his Holy Spir
it. In tho samo letter Paul said tho
reason his enemies wore not allowed
to put him to death was that his re
maining In tho flesh was moro need
ful for tho service Christ had for him
to do, and doubtless this is true of
ill Christians.
Now, what Is that service? Tho
text tells us that It is to witness for
Jesus Christ, and with tho object of
delivering, that is, saving souls.
There aro many kinds of service
Christians ought to do for their fol
low men, and bo far as our observa
tion goes thero is a fairly generous
and intelligent disposition on their
part to do them. The emphasis laid
upon "social service" has wrought
wonders In stirring professing Chris
tians to perform their obligations to
Bocioty In a spirit of unselfishness, and
all classes aro feeling the benefit. Wo
aro all grateful for this, and trust tho
pressure may not bo released, and
that tho pulpit and tho religious press
may contlnuo that instruction and ex
hortation wo all need to perform our
duty.
But two thoughts occur to us, and
ono is that wo may engage in that
kind of service without ever bearing
witness Bpociflcally to Jesus Christ,
and the other, that after wo havo ren
dered that service to our fellow men
thoy may still remain Ignorant of the
Gospel and "dead in trespasses and
sins."
Theso things are true because so
cial service of certain kinds is, even
at its highest level, only for tho bet
terment of earthly conditions and
takes no cognizance of a llfo beyond.
Mon and women of tho world with
kindly hearts may engage in it, who
thomselves aro quite ignorant of tho
new life In Christ Jesus, and whose
motives aro merely humanitarian. In
deed tho most selfish principles may
make us diligent in some forms of so
cial service, for ns we are bettering
tho conditions of thoso around us we
aro bettering our own.
Can we not easily see that this
necessitates no mention of Jesus
Christ, and especially no mention of
him in that capacity which most truly
glorifies him, namely, his redemption
of human kind by his death upon tho
cross? You meet a.boggar, let us say,
and you glvo him a nickel or a dime
for a cupful of coffee and a night's
lodging, and he thanks you for it. That
is, he thanks you for it, and thero
the transaction ends.
But what is It that stirs you to re
spond to his appeal, simply tho deslro
to bo rid of him or a feeling of sym
pathy for his need. But it may ho
something elso. It may bo tho lovo of
your Savior in you, and for you, that
prompts tho gift, and if so, should not
mo oeggar no torn or it mat no, tno
real giver, may receive tho thanks?
Carry out this thought In other
form of social service and discover
whero It leads. You will never ho sat
isfied to do kind things for men with
out letting them know In somo way
that it is Christ in you that is do
ing It.
But suppose wo go further. You
may bo engaged in service more strict
ly Christian, and yet bo negligent of
your supreme obligation to win souls
to Christ. Sundny school teachers
aro often lacking In deslro and ability
to ongago in personal evangelism, and
hence boys and girls, and young men
and young women remain In tholr
classes year in and year out, without
being moved to cross tho lino from
dnrkness to light, from death to life,
Thoro aro ministers greatly lacking In
the samo regard and worso than all.
Christian parents who never think of
dealing personally with their children
on tho subject of tholr conversion to
and salvation by Christ. Is not this
awful to contomplato?
Let this mesBago closo with a prac
tlcal suggestion. Is thoro an evangel
istic meeting now in progress not
very far away? What n splendid op
portunlty for you to do personal ovan
gollsm, to witness for Jesus Christ!
Whon tho ovangollBt calls for personal
workers volunteer your sorvlco and
begin In earnest to work for bouIb.
And if you aro too timid or too lg.
narant for tho Gospel to do that, here
is something elso ycu can do. You
enn invito somo unsaved frlond or ac
quaintance to go with you to tho meet
lng, that somoono elao may labor with
ulu thero.
