CHAPTER I.
In Which the Tide Takes a Hand.
THE sliip stole through the dark
ness "with extremest caution,
feeling her way past bay and
promontory. Around her was
none of that phosphorescent glow
which lies above the open ocean, even
on the darkest night, for the mountains
ran down to the channel on either side.
In places they overhung, and where
they lay upturned against the dim sl:y
it could be seen that they were man
tled with heavy timber. All day long
the Nebraska had made her way
through an endless succession of straits
and sounds, now squeezing through an
inlet so narrow that the somber spriK-e
trees seemed to be within a short
stone's throw, atrain plowing across
some open reach where the pulse of t'.ie
north Pacific could be felt. Out through
the openings to seaward stretched the
restless ocean, on across uncounted
leagues, to Saghalkn and the rim of
Ilussia's prison yard.
Always near at hand was the deep
green of the Canadian forests, denser,
darker than a tropic jungle, for this
was the land of "plenty waters." The
hillsides were carpeted knee deep with
moss, wet to saturation. Out of every
gulch came a brawling stream whip
ped to mill; white frenzy; snow hiy
heavy upon the higher levels, while
now and then from farther inland
srer crushed between the granite
peaks. There were villages, too. and
lishing stations, and mines and quar
ries. These burst suddenly upon the
view, then slipieQ past with dreamlike
swiftness. Other ships swung into
sight, rushed by and were swallowed
up in the labyrinthine maze astern.
Those passengers of the Nebraska
who had never before traversed the "in
side passage" were loud in the praises
of its picturesqucness. while those to
whom the route was familiar seemed
to find an ever fresh fascination in its
shifting KCenes.
Among the latter was Murray O'NciL
The whole north coast from Flattery
to St. Elias was as well mapped in his
mind as the tfiee of an old friend, yet
he was forever discovering new vistas,
surprising panoramas, amazing varia
tions of color and topography. The
mysterious rifts and passageways that
opened and closed as if to lure the ship
astray, the trackless confusion of islets,
the siren soijg of the waterfalls, the
silent hills "and glaciers and scow
soaked forests all appealed to him
strongly, for he was at heart a dreamer.
Vet he did not forget that scenery
such as this, lovely as it is l?y cay,
may be dangerous at" eight, fcr he

having vullt a number of them, he had

upon tie Iridge rail of the Nebraska
peering into the gloom with watchful
yes. From somewhere to port came
the occasional commands of the officer
on wa-Qh. echotnl instantly from the
inky ii.terir of the wheelhouse. Up
oversiui ruse the whisper of rushing
waters: j from underfoot came the
rhythn.ic lent of the en nines far be

began to wonder idly how long it

be reat'j for his "nightcap."

Rronnr:i wlien he could manage it, for
the twj u:en were boon companions
O'Neil was wont to live in Johnny's
cabin r on the bridge, and their night
ly libation t friendship had come to
be a nutter of some ceremony.
The ship's master soon appeared
from t'je shadows a short, trim man
with gray hair.
"Cou.e," he7 cried; "it's waiting for
us."
0'N il followed into Brennan's lux
urious, well lit quarters, where on a
mahogany .-ideboard was a tray holding
decanter, siphon and glasses,- together
with a botile of giiTger ale. 11,e v'dV
tain, rfter he had mixed a beverage
for his passenger, opened the bottle
for liin-self. They raised their glasses
silently.
"Now that you're past the worst of
it," remarked O'Neil, "I suppose you'll
turn in. You're getting old for a hard
run like this. Johnny."
Captain l'.rcunau snorted. "Old"'
I'm a b tter man than you. yet. I'm a
teetotaler, that's why. I discovered
long ago that salt water and whisky
d u't mix."
O'Neil stn tched himself out i:i Pi:e
of Brennan's easy chairs. "Really,"
ho said. "I don't understand why a
ship carries a captain. Now, of what;
earthly use to the line are you. for in
stance, except for your beauty, which,
iio doubt, L:is its value with the wo
men? I'll admit you preside with some
gr.ve at the best table in the dining
saljn. but your oSk-crs know those
c-Lannels as well us you do. They could
make the r :n from Seattle to Juneau
with their eves shut."
Indeed tl. y could noTTand neither

"Oh, well, of course I have no re
spoet for you as a man, having seen
you without your uniform."
The captain grinned in thorough en
joymont of this raillery. "I'll say noth
ing at all of my seamanship," he said,
relapsing auto the faintest of brogues,
"but there's i: denying that the mas
ter of a sh:;i has many unpleasant
and disgusting' duties to perform. He
h::s to amuse the prominent passengers
who can't an. use themselves, for one
thing, and that takes tact and patience.
Why. some people make themselves at

and oven in r.iy living quarters, to say
nothing of consuming my expensive
wines, liquors and cigars."

"I'm a brutal scnaring mau, and
you'll have to make allowances for my
well known Irusqueness. Maybe I'd id
mean you. Bat I'll say that next to
you Curtis Gordon is the worst grafter
I ever saw."
"You don't like Gordon, do you';"
O'Neil queried with a change of tone.
"I do not! lie went up with me
again this spring, and he had hia
widow with him too."
"His widow v

"Ah hi I see."
"You don't s'-e. or you wouldn't grin
like an ape. I'm a married man. I'll
hrvve you know, and I'm still on good
terms with Mrs. Brennan. thank God.
But I don't like men who use women's
money, and that's just what cur irier.d
Gordon Is doing. What money thp
widw didn't put up he's grabbed from
the sclioolma'ams and servant girls
and society matrons in the enst. What
has he got to s'aow them for it:"
"A railroad project, a copper mine,
some coal claims"
"Bab! A menagerie of wildcats!"
"You can't prove that. What's your
reason for distrusting him?"

Now, it takes years of hard work for
an honest man to make a success at
one thing, but Gordon never failed at
anything. I ask you if a living author

deavor and a man who can beat me at
'crib' doesn't make you suspicious."
"Not at all. I've beaten you myself."
"I was sick," said Captain Brennan.
"The man is brilliant and well edu
cated nnd wealthy. It's only natural
that he should excite the jealousy of a
weaker intellect."
Johnny opened his lips for an explo
sion, then changed his mind and agreed
sourly.
"He's got money, all right, and he
knows how to spend it. He and his
valet occupied three cabins on this
ship. They say his quarters at Hope
are palatial."
"My dear grampus, the mere love of
luxury doesn't argue that a person is
dishonest." '
"Would you let a hired man help you
on with your underclothes?" demanded
the mariner.
"There's nothing criminal about It."
"Humph! Mrs. Gerard is different.
She's all class! You don't mind her
having a maid and sieakiug French
when she runs short of English. Her
daughter is like her."
"I haven't seen Miss Gerard."
"If you'd stir about the ship instead
of wearing out my morris chair you'd
have that pleasure. She was on deck
all morning." Captain Brennan fell
silent and poked with a stubby fore
finger at the ice in his glass.
"Well, out with it," said O'Neil after
a moment.
"I'd like to know the inside story of
Curtis Gordon and this girl's mother.'
"Why bother your head about some
thing that doesn't concern you?" The
speaker rose and began to pace the
cabin floor, then in an altered tone in
quired, "Tell me, are you going land
me and my horses at Kyak ba 4
"That depends on the weather. It's
a rotten harbor. You'll have to swim
them ashore."
"Suppose it should be rough?" .
"Then we'll go on and drop you there
coming back. I don't want to be caught
cn that shore with a southerly wind,
and that's the way it usually blows."
"I can't wait," O'Neil declared. "A
week's delay might ruin me. Bather
than go on I'd swim ashore myself,
without the horses."
Even as Brennan spoke the Nebraska
seemed to halt, to jerk backward un
der his feet. O'Neil, who was standing,
flung out an arm to steady himself; the
empty ginger ale bottle fell from the
sideboard with a thump. Loose ar
ticles hanging against the side walls
swung to and fro; the heavy draperies
over Captain Johnny's bed swayed.
Brennan leaped from his chair; his
ruddy face was mottled, his eyes were
wide and horror stricken.
"Damnation ! he gasped. The cabin
door crashed oik-ii ahead of him, and
he was on the bridge, with O'Neil at
his heels. They saw the first oflk-er
clinging limply to the rail; from the
pilot house window came an excited
burst of Norwegian, then out of the
door rushed a quartermaster.
The steady, muffled beating of the
machinery ceased, the ship seemed sud
denly to lose her life, but it was plain
that she was not aground, for she kept
moving through the gloom. From down
forward came excited voices as the
crew poured up out of the forecastle.
Brennan leaped to the telegraph and
signaled the engine room. He was
calm now, and his voice was sharp
and stctidy.
"Go below, Mr. James, and find the
extent of the damage," he directed, and
a moment later the hull began to throb
once more to the thrust of the pro
filer. Inside the wheelhouse Swan
had recovered from his panic and re
peated the master's - orders mechanic
ally. "Tell me where and how I can help,"
Murray offered. His first thought had
been of the possible effect of this ca
tastrophe upon his plans, for time was
pressing As for danger, he had looked
upon it so often and In so many forms
that it had little power to stir him.
but a shipwreck, which would halt
his northward rush, was another mat
ter. Brennan stepped into the chart room,
but returned in a moment to say:
"There's no place to beach her this
side of Halibut bay."
"How far is that?"
"Five or six miles."
"You'll hate to beach her?"
"I'm afraid so. She feels flueer."
Up from the cabin deck came a hand
ful of men passengers to inquire what
had happened; behind them a woman
began calling shrilly for her husband.
''We touched a rock." the skipper ex
plained briefly. "Kindly go below and
stop that squawking. There's no dan
ger." -
The captain ran-? for full speed, and
the deck3 began to strain as the engine
increased its labor. "Get your passen
gers out and stand by the boats." he
ordered. "Take it easy and don't alarm
the women. Have them dress warmly,
and don't allow any crowding by the
men.'- . Mr. Tomlinson, yon hold the

flolefully. "It'll be tough on my mis-
BUS."
O'Neil laid a hand upon his shoulder.
"It wasn't your fault, and there will
he room in the last boat for you. Un
derstand?" Brennan hesitated, and the
other jfontinued roughly: "No nonsense,
now! Don't raake a dashed fool of
yourself by sticking to the bridge.
Promise?"
"I promise.-
"Now, what do you want me o do?"
"Keep those dear passengers quiet.
I'll run for Halibut bay, where there's
a sandy beach. If she won't make it
I'll turn her into the rocks. Tell 'cm
they won't wet a foot If they keep their
heads."
"Good! I'll be back to see that you
behave yourself." The sneaker laughed
lightly and descended to the deck.
where he found an incipient panic.
Stewards were pounding on stateroom
doors, half clad men were rushiug
about aimlessly, pallid faces peered
fyrth from windows, and there was the
sound of running feet, of slamming
doors, of shrill, hysterical voices.
O'Neil saw a waiter thumping lus
tily upon a door and heard him shout
hoarsely:
"Everybody out! The ship Is sink
ing!" As he turned away Murray seiz
ed him roughly by the arm and. thrust
ing his face close to the other's, said
harshly:
"If you yell again like that I'll toss
you overboard."
"God help us, we're going"
O'Neil shook the fellow until his
teeth rattled; his own countenance, or
dinarily so quiet, was blazing.
"There's no danger. Act like a man
and don't start a stampede."
The steward pulled himself together
and answered in a calmer tone:
"Very well. sir. I I'm sorry, sir."
Murray O'Neil was known to most
of the imsscngors, for his name had
gone up and down the coast, and there
were few places from San Francisco to
Nome where his word did not carry
weight. As he went among his fellow
travelers now, smiling, self contained,
unruffled, his presence had its effect.
Women ceased their shrilling, men
stopped their eenseless questions and
listened to his directions with. some
comprehension. In a short time the
passengers were marshaled upon the
upper deck where the lifeboats hung
between the davits. Each little craft
was in charge of its allotted crew, the
electric lights continued to burn bright
ly, and the panic gradually wore itself
out. Meanwhile the ship was running
a desperate race with the sea, striving
with every ounce of steam in her boil
ers to find a safe berth for her muti
lated body before the inrush of waters
drowned her fires. That the race was
close even the dullest understood, for
the Nebraska' was settling forward and
plowed into the night head down, like
a thing maddened with pain. She was
becoming unmanageable, too, and
O'Neil thought with pity of that little
Ironhearted skipper on the bridge who
was fighting her so furiously.
There was little confusion, little talk
ing, upon the upper deck now. Only a
child whimpered or a woman sobbed
hysterically. But down forward among
the steerage passengers the case was

different. These were mainly Mon
tenegrins, Polacks or Slavs bound for
the construction camps to the west
ward, and they surged from side to
side like cattle, requiring Tomlinson's
best efforts to keep them from rushing
In these circumstances the 'wait be
came almost unbearable The race
seemed hours long, the miles stretched
into leagues, and with every moment
of suspense the ship sank lower. The
end came unexpectedly. There was a
sudden startled outcry as the Nebraska
struck for a second time that night.
She rose slightly, rolled and burned,
grated briefly, then came to rest.
Captain Brennan shouted from the
bridge: N
"Fill your lifeboats, Mr. James, and
lower away carefully."
A cheer rose from the huddled pas
sengers. The boiler room was still dry, it
seemed, for the incandescent lights
burned without a flicker, even after
the grimy oilers and stokers had come
pouring up on d?k.
