By PETER B. KYNE
cAuthor of "WEBSTER MAN'S MAN," "THE VALLEY OF THE GIANTS," ETC.
Coprrtght, by Ptttr D. Kyu
"Green Pea Pirates" is a combination of sea and land
narrative told in the inimitable style which has given the
Peter B. Kyne stories such a strong pull with tho reading
public. It is jolly, even rollicking and has thrill, romance
and punch.

She rises up In the marshes tit tho

Why, I've known the forry honts be

"I don't doubt your word n mite,
Bcrnggsy. I never did see n ferry-bunt

responded. "Me, I'll smell my wny

"Maybe you enn an' mnybe you

to question your ability. I'll tnke It

"Don't he nn old womnn," Mr. Glb

wrist wntch."
"I nln't n-golu' to poke n round In
the dnrk nn' n title fog, foelln' for
the Golden gate," Cnptnln Scrnggs
shrilled peevishly.
"If l's bells nn' panther tracks!
I've got my old courses, nn' If I foller
them we enn't help gettln' home."
Captain Scruggs laid his hand on
Mr. Olbney's great nrm nnd tried to
Kinlle paternnlly. "Gib, my denr boy,"
ho pJondcd, "control yourself. Don't
nrgue with me, Gib. I'm mnster here

clear?"
"You do, Scraggsy. Hut It won't

( "Hut this nln't one o' them times,

"Do you menn to defy me, Gib?"
Cnptnln Scruggs' little green eyes
glenmed balol'ully. Mr. Glbney looked
down upon him with tolerance, ns n
Great Dnne gazos upon n fox terrier.
"I certainly do, Scrnggsy, old pepper
pot," he replied calmly. "Whnt're you
goln' to do nhout It?" The ghost of n
Binlle lighted his Jnvlnl countenance.
"Nothln now. I'm helpless," Cnp
tnln Scrnggs nnswered with deadly
calm. "Hut tho minute we hit the
dock you an' me parts company."
"I don't know whether we will or
not Scrnggsy. I nln't heeled right
nnnnclnlly to hit the bench on such
short notice."
"HI get the police to remove you,
you bllBtercd plrntc," Scrnggs
creamed, now quite beside himself.
"Yes? Well, the mlnuto they let go
o me I'll come bnck to the S. S. Mng
gle and tear her npart just to see
what makes her go." He leaned out
the pilot-house window und sniffed.
"Tule fog, nil right, Scruggs, still,
thnt nln't no renson why the ship's
company should fast, Is UT Quit blck
erln' with me, little one, an' see If you
can',t wrnstlo up some ham an' eggs.
I want ray eggs sunny side up."
Kenning tho futility of further argu
ment, Cnptnln Scraggs sought solace
In n stream of ndjectlval opprobrium,
plainly meant for Mr. Glbney but de
Q
livered, nevertheless, Impersonnlly. He
closed the pilot-house door furiously
behind him and stnrlcd for the gnllcy.
"Some bright dny I'm goln' to git
tired ' henrlu' you cuss my proxy,"
Mr. Glbney bnwled after him, "an'
when tliat fatal time arrives I'll scat
ter u enn o' Kill-Flea over you nn' the
shlppln' world'll know you no more."
"Oh, go to glory, you plg-lron pol
isher," Captain Scraggs tossed bnck
nt him over his shoulder nnd honor
wns sntlstled. In the lee of the pilot
house Captain Scraggs pnused, set his
Infamous old brown derby lint on the
deck nnd leaped furiously upon It
with both feet. Six times he did this;
then with n blow of his list he
knocked the ruin bnck Into u sem
blance of Its orlglnnl shape nnd Im
mediately felt better.
"If I wns you, skipper, I'd hold my
temper until I got to port; then I'd
git Jingled un' l'orglt my troubles In
expensively," somebody advised him.
Scraggs turned. In a little squnro
hutch the bond and shoulders of Mr.
Hartholomew MeGr.ffey, chief en
gineer; first, second nnd third as
sistant engineer, oiler, vlpcr, water
tender, and conl-pusser of the Maggie,
appeared. He wus stnndlng on tho
steel ladder that led up from his
stuffy engine room nnd hnd evidently
come up, like a whale, for a breath of
fresh ulr. "The wny you ruin them
bonnet h o' yourn sure Is a scundnl,"
Mr. McGuffey concluded. "If I hnd n
temper as nasty us yourn I'd take
soothln' sirup or soniethln' for It."
Hcforo proceeding further with this
niifrallve, due respect for the reader's
curiosity directs thnt wo diverge for
a period sulllclent to present a brief
history of the steamqr Mnggle nnd her
peculiar crew. Wo will begin with tho
Mnggle.
She had been built on Pugct sound
back In the eighties, und was one hun
dred and sK feet over all, twenty-six
feel beam and seven feet draft.
Driven by n little steeple compound
engine, In the pride of her youth she
could make ten knots. However, what
with old age and holler scale, the best
she could do now was six. and hnd
Mr. McGuffey paid the slightest heed
to the limitations Imposed upon his
Ktentn gauge by the supervising in-
spectoi of boilers at San Francisco,
she would have been limited til five.
Knch annual Inspection threatened to
he her last, anil Captain Scraggs, her
sole owner, lived In perpetunl fear
thnt eventually the day must arrive
when, to save the lives of himself and
his crew, he would be forced to ship
n new boiler and renew the rotten
timbers around her dendwood. She
had come Into Captain Scrnggs' po-

session ut public auction conducted
by the United Stntes marshal, follow
ing her capture as she sneaked Into
Snn Francisco bay otto dnrk night
with a lond of Chlnumcu and opium
from Knseiindn. She hnd cost him
fifteen hundred hnrd-enrned dollars.
Scrnggs rhlnens P. Scraggs, to
employ his full name was precisely
tho kind of mnn one might expect to
own and opernto tho Maggie. Itnt
faced, snaggle-toothed und furtive,
with a low cunning that sometimes
passed for grout intelligence, Scruggs'
character Is best described In a home
ly American word, no was "ornery."
A native of Snn Francisco, ho had
grown up around tho docks und had
developed from messhoy on u river
steamer to master of bny and river
steamboats, although It Is not of roc
, ord that he ever commanded such a
craft. Despite his "ticket" there wns
none bo foolish ns to trust him with
one a condition of affairs which had
tended to sour a disposition not nat
urally sweet. Tho yearning to com
mand a steamboat gradually had de
veloped Into an obsession. Result
the "fast and commodious S. S. Mng
gle," as the United States mnrshnl
hnd hnd tho nudnclty to advertise her.
In the beginning, Captain Scraggs
had planned to do bny nnd river tow
ing with the Maggie, Alas I The
first time the unfortunnte Scraggs at
tempted to tow a henvlly laden bnrge
up river, n light fog had come down,
necessitating the frequent blowing of
the whistle. Following the sixth long
blast, Mr. McGuffey hnd whistled
Scrnggs on tho engine-room howler;
swearing horribly, he hnd demanded
to he Informed why In this nnd thnt
the skipper didn't leave that dod-gnst-cd
whistle alone. It was using up his
steam fnstcr than ho could manufac
ture It Thereafter. Scraggs hnd used
a patent foghorn, nnd when the hon
est McGuffey had once more succeed
ed In conserving sufficient steam to
crawl up river, the tide had turned
nnd the Mnggle could not buck the
ebb. McGuffey declnred a few new
tubes In the holler would do the trick,
but on the other hnnd, Mr. Glbney
pointed out thnt the old craft wns
practically punk aft nnd n stiff tow
would Jerk tho tall off the old girl. In
despair, therefore Captain Scrnggs
hnd abandoned bny and river towing
nnd wns prepnred to Jump overbonrd
nnd end nil, when nn opportunity of
fered for the freighting of garden
truck nnd dnlry produce from Half
moon bny to Snn Francisco.
Hut now a difficulty nrose. The new
run wns nn "outside" one salt wnter
nil the wny. Under the ruling of the
Inspectors, the Maggie would be run
ning constwlse tho Instnnt she en
gaged In the green-pea nnd strlng-benn
trade, nnd Cnptnln Scrnggs' license
provided for no such contingency. Ills
ticket entitled him to net ns mnster
on the waters of Snn Francisco bay
and the waters tributary thereto, nnd
although Scrnggs nrgucd that the Pa
cific ocenn constituted waters "'tribu
tary thereto," If he understood the
English lnngungc, the Inspectors were
obdurate. What If the distance was
less thnn twenty-five miles? they
pointed out. The voyage was unde
niably coastwise und carried with It
nil the risk of wind nnd wave. And
In order to Impress upon Captain
Scrnggs tho weight of their authority,
the Inspectors suspended for sl
nionths Cnptnln Scraggs' bay and
river license for having dared to ne
gotiate two coastwise voyages without
consulting them. Furthermore, they
wnrncd him that the next time he did
it they would condemn the fast and
commodious Mnggle.
In this extremity, Fate hnd sent to
Cnptnln Scrnggs n large. Imposing,
capable, but soclnlly Indifferent per
son who responded to tho name of
Adelbert P. Glbney. Mr. Glbney hnd
spent part of an adventurous life In
I the United Stntes nnvy, whore he hnd
applied himself nnd ncqulred n fnlr
smattering of navigation. Prior to en
tering the nnvy he hnd been n fote
mnst hnnd In clipper ships nnd had
held a second mnto's berth. Follow
ing his dlschnrgo from the nnvy he
had stilled coastwise on steam schoon
ers, and nfter attending 11 navigation
school for two months, had procured
a license ns chief mate of steam, any
ocean und nny tonnnge.
Unfortunately for Mr. Glbney, he
had a falling. Most of us hnve. The
most genlnl fellow In the world, lie
was cursed with too much brains nnd
Imagination und n thirst which re
quired quenching around pay day.
Also, he hnd thnt beastly hnblt of
command which Is Inseparable from n
born leader; when he held n first
mnto's berth, ho was wont to try to
"run tho ship" nnd, on occnslons,
ladle out suggestions to his skipper.
Thus, In time, he acquired a reputa
tion for being unreliable and n wind
bag, with tho result thnt skippers
were chnry of engnglng him. Not to
bo too prolix, nt the time Cnptnln
Scrnggs mndo the dlshenrtenlng dis
covery thnt he had to have n skipper
for the Moggie, Mr. Glbney found
himself reduced to the alternative of
longshore work or n fo'castle berth In
a windjammer bound for blue water.
With nlacrlty, therefore, Mr. Glb
ney hnd accepted Scrnggs' offer of
seventy-ftvo dollars n month "nnd
found" to skipper the Mnggle on her
constwlse run. As n first mnto of
steam ho had no difficulty Inducing
the Inspectors to grant him n license
to skipper such nn ahnndoned crnft
ns tho Mnggle, and accordingly ho
hung up his ticket In her pilot house
nnd wns registered ns her mnster, al
beit, under n gentlemnn's ngreement
with Scrnggs he was not to clnltn tho
title of cnptnln nnd wns known to
the world ns tho Mngglo's first mnto,

Nells Hnlvorson, a solemn Swede with
n placid, bovine disposition, consti
tuted tho fo'cnstlc hands, while Hnrt
McGuffey, n wastrel of tho Glbney
type but slower-wltted, reigned su
preme In Ihe engine room. Also his
enso resembled that of Mr. Glbney la
that McGuffey's Job on the Maggie
wns the first he had had In six months
and ho treasured It accordingly. For
this reason he and Glbney hud been
Inclined to take considerable slack
from Cnptnln Scruggs until McGuffey
discovered that, In till probability, no
engineer In the world, except him
self, would have the courage to trust
himself within range of the Maggie's
hollers, und, consequently, he hnd
Cuptntn Scrnggs more or less at his
mercy. Upon Imparting this suspicion
to Mr. Glbney, the latter decided that
It would bo n cold day, Indeed, when
his ticket would not constitute a club
wherewith to make Scraggs, as Glb
ney expressed It, "mind his P's and
Q's."
It will be seen, therefore, that mu
tual necessity held this qtieerly US
sorted trio together,, nnd, though they
quarreled furiously, nevertheless, with
the passage of time their own weak
nesses nnd those of the Mnggle hnd
nroused In each for the other a curi

frequently "pulled" a monumental
bluff nnd threatened to dismiss both
Glbney nnd McGuffey and, In fact,
occasionally went so far ns to order

At nny rate, he delighted In hearing

However, to return to the Maggie
which we left entering the tulo fog
a few miles north of Pilar point:
CHAPTER II.
Cnptnln Scrnggs nnd The Squnre
hcnd partook tlrst of the hum nnd
eggs, coffee nnd bread, which the
skipper prepared. Scraggs then pre
pared n similar meal for Mr. Glbney
and McOuffoy, set It In the oven to
keep warm, und descended to the en
gine room to relieve McGuffey for din
ner. Nells nt the snme time took the
course from Mr. Glbney nnd relieved
the hitter nt the wheel. By this time,
darkness had descended upon the
world, and the Maggie hud entered
the fog; following her custom she pro
ceeded In absolute silence, ultltnugh as
a partial offset to the extreme liability
to collision with other coastwise craft,
due to the non-whistling rule aboard
tho Mnggle, Mr. Glbney bad laid a
course half a mile Inside the usual
steunter lunes, nlbelt duo to his over
whelming desire for peace he hnd
neglected to Inform his owner of this;
the honest fellow proceeded upon the
hypothesis that what people do not
know Is not apt to trouble them.
Ciiptiiln Scruggs read the log and
reported the mileage to Mr. Glbney,
who figured with the stub of a pencil
on the pilot house wnll, wagged his
head, nnd trpponred sntlstled. "Better
go for'd," he ordered, "un' help The
Squarehead on tho lookout. At eight
o'clock wo ought to be right under the
lee o' Point San Pedro; when I whistle
we ought to cntch the echo thrown
bnck by the cliff. Listen for it."
Promptly nt eight o'clock Mr. Mc
Gufi'ey wns horrified to see his stenm
gauge drop half a pound us tho Mag
gie's siren sounded. Mr. Glbney stuck
his Ingenious bend out of the pilot
house and listened, but no answering
echo reached his eurs. "Henr any
thing?" he bawled.
"Heurd the Mngglo's siren," Cnptnln
Scruggs retorted venomously.
Mr. Glbney lenped out on deck, se
lected ti small head of cabbage from u
broken crate and burled It forward.
Then he sprung back Into tho pilot
house und straightened tho Magglu on
her course again. He leaned over the
binnacle, with tho cuff of his watch-
cont wiping away the molsturu on the
glnss, nnd studied the Instrument enre
fully. "I djm't trust the dnngi'd thing,"
he muttered. "Guess I'll linul her off
n coupler points nn' try the whistle
nguln."
He did. Still no echo. He wns In
clined to believe thnt Captain Scrnggs
hud not rend the tnffrnll log correctly,
and when ut eight-thirty he tried tho
whistle ngnln he wns still without re
sults In the wny of an echo from tho
cliff, nlbelt the engine room howler
brought him several of n profuse chnr
ucter from tho perspiring McGuffey.
"Wo've passed Pedro," Mr. Glbney
decided. He ground his cud nnd mut
tered ugly things to Jiimsoir, ror ms
dend reckoning had gone aatray and
tered ugly things to himself, for his
he was worried. The fog, If unythlng,
wns thicker than over.
Time pnssed. Suddenly Mr. Glbney
thrilled electrically to a shrill yip from
Captain Scraggs.
"What's thut?" Mr. Glbney bawled.
"I dunno. Sounds like the surf,
Gib."
"Ain't you been on this run long
enough to know thut the surf don't
sound like nothln' else In life but
breakers?" Glbney retorted wrathfully.
"I nln't certnln, Gib."
Instnntly Glbnoy slgnuled McGuffey
for half speed ahead.
"Breakers on the starboard bow,"
yelled Captain Scrnggs.
"Port bow," The Squnrehcnd cor
rected him.
"Oh, my great patience I" Mr. Gib
ney groaned. "They're on both bows
an' wo'ro headed straight for the
beach. Here's where wo nil go to the
devil together," nnd ho yanked wildly

broke, but not until two bells had
sounded In the engine room the signal
for full speed ahead. The efficient
McGuffey promptly Kicked her wide
open, and the Fates decreed that,
having done so, Mr. McGuffey should
forthwith climb the ladder nnd thrust
his bend out on deck for a breath of
fresh air. Instantly a chorus of
shriek -up on the fo'castle head at
tracted his nttentlon to such n degree
that he fulled to hear the engine room
howler ns Mr. Glbney blew frantically
Into It.
Presently, out of the hubbub for
ward, Mr. McGuffey heard Captain
Scraggs wall frantically: "Stop her!
For tjie love of heaven, stop her!" In
stnntly the engineer dropped back Into
the engine room und set the Mttgglo
full speed astern; then he grasped the
howler nnd held It to his ear.
"Stop her!" he heard Glbney shilek.
"Why In blazes don't you stop her?"
"She's set astern, Gib. She'll ease
up In n minute."
"You know It !" Glbney nnswered
significantly.
Tlu Mnggle climbed lazily to the
crest of a long oily roller, slid reck
lessly down tho other side, and took
tho following sen over her tnffrnll.
She still hnd some bend on, hut very
little not quite sufficient to give her
decent steerage wny, ns Mr. Glbney
discovered when, having nt length com
municated his desires to McGuffey,
he spun tho wheel frnntlcnlly In n be
luted effort to swing tho Mngglo's dirty
nose out to sen.
"Nothing doln'," he snarled. "She'll
hnve to come to n complete stop before
she begins to walk backward nnd get
steerage way on again. She'll bump
as sure us death nn' taxes."
"She'll bump ai sure at

Thousands Have Kidney
Trouble and Never
Suspect It
Applicants for Insurance Often
Rejected.
Judging from rcportn from druggist
who tire constantly in direct touch with
the public, there is one preparation thnt
has been very successful in overcoming
these conditions. The mild nnd healing
influence of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Hoot is
soon lealicd. It stands the hiijliwjt for
its tcinnrkablc record of success.
An examining physician for one of the
prominent Life Insurance Companies, in
an interview on the subject, made the ns
totiisliiug statement that one rca'on why
so many applicants for imurance ate tc
jected is because kidney trouble is so
common to the American people, nnd the
larpe majority of those whoso applica
tions arc declined do not even suspect
that they have the disease.
Dr. Kilmer's Swamp Hoot is on oale
at all drug stoics in bottles of two nizes,
medium nnd large. However, if you wih
lirnt to tost thin great preparation send
ten cents to Dr. Kilmer & Co., Uinphnni
