Synopsis. Captain Phlneiui I'.
ScruRga halt grown up around tho
docks of San Franclnco, and from
mess boy on a river steamer, risen
to tho ownership of the stcamor
Maggie. Since each annual in
spcctlon promised to be the last of
tho old wcatherbonton vessel,
Hcraggs naturally has some dim
culty In securing n crow. Whon
the story opons, Adclbort P. Olb
nry, llkalilo, but erratic, a man
whom noliody but Bcnigga would
hire, Is the skipper, Nells Ilnlvor
sen, a solemn tiwede, constitutes
the forecastle hamls, and Hart Mc
OulTey. a wastrel of the Olbney
type, reigns In tho engine room.
With this motley crow and his an
cient vessel, Captain Scruggs Is
engaged In freighting garden
truck from Halfmoon bay to San
Kranclsco. The Inevitable happens;
tho Maggie boch imlioro In a fog.
A puHulng vessel hailing the wreck,
Mr. Olbney gets word to a towing
company In Hun Prunclitco that the
ship ashore Is tho Vunkee I'rlnco,
with promise of a rich sulvaue.
Two tugs uueceed In pulling the
Magglo Into deep water, and she
clips her tow lines und gets away
In the fog. Furious at tho decep
tion practiced on thum, Captains
Hicks and Flaherty, commanding
tho two tugboats, ascertain the
Identity of tho "Yankee I'rlnce"
and, fearing ridicule should the
facta becomo known along tho wa
ter front, dotormlno on personal
vengeance. Their lioatllo visit to
the Magglo results In Captain
Scraggu promising to got a now
bollor and mako needed repairs to
tho steamer. Scruggs refuses to
fulfill his promises und Glbnoy and
McGuffoy "strike." With marvel
ous luck, Scruggs ships a fresh
crew. At tho mid of a fovv dayn
of wild conviviality nibney und
McGuffoy ure stranded und seek
their old positions on tho Mugglo.
They nro hostllely received, but re
main. On their way to Sun Fran
cisco they sight it derelict.

"Spoken like u tiuui I do not think.
Scruggs, for once In my life I linvt
yon where the hnlr Is short. I'm
wlllln' to (11k In an help out In ti
pinch, hut It's gottln no mo an' Mnr
enn'tj trust you no more. We're Unit
. leery of you we won't take your word
for tiothln', since you fooled him on
the new holler nn' me on the paint;
consequently, we're ofT you nn' this
tmlvage Joh unless you give us n clear
ance, In wrltln', stiilln' (lint wo are
not an never wus pirates, that we're
Rood, law-ahldln' citizens nn aboard
the Mnggle as your guests, takln' tho
trip at our own risk. When you sign
such a paper, with your crow for wit
nesscs, I'll demonstrate how Ihnt hark
can bo salvaged. My Imagination's
bctter'n my reputation, Scraggsy, an'
I ain't work In' It for nothlnM"
"Gib, my denr boy. You're the most
sensitive man I ever sailed with.
Onn't you tnko a little Joke?"
"Sure. I can tnke a little Joke. It's
tho big cnes that stick In my craw
an' stifle my friendship. Gimme n
fountain pen an n leaf out o' the
log book an' I'll draw up tho affydavlt
for your slgnnture."
Scrnggs complied precipitately with
this request, whereupon Mr. Glhney
spread his grcnt bulk over the chart
case and with many a twist and flip
of his tongue on tho up and down
strokes, produced this remarkable doc
ument: "At Seu, Off Point Montara,
"aboard S. S. Maggie,
"of San Francisco.
"June 4, 10.
This Is to certify that A. P. Glbney.
Esq., and Bart McGuffoy, Esq., Is law
abldln' sltlscns of the U. S. A. and
the constltootlon thereof, and In no
way pirates or such ; and be It further
resolved that the said parties hereto
are aboard said American steamer
Maggie this date on the special Invite
of Phlneas P. Scraggs, owner, as his
guests and at their own risk.
."Witness my hand and seal:"
, Captain Scraggs signed without
reading and the new mate and Nells
ITahursen appended their signatures
ns witnesses. Mr. Glbney thereupon
folded this clearance paper Into the
tiniest possible compact bnu, wrapped
It In a piece of tinfoil torn from a
package of tobacco, to protect It from
his sallvn, tucked It In his cheek and
with a sign for McGuffoy to follow
him, started crawling over tho cargo
aft. IJy this tlmo the Maggie was
within a hundred yards of the dis
tressed bark and was ratchlng slowly
(backward and forward before her.
"In nil my horn days," quoth Mr.
Glhney, speaking a trlllo thickly be
cause of tho document In his mouth,
"I never got such n wallop as Scraggs
handed mo an you last night. I don't
,forgot things like that In a hurry.
'Now that wo got a vindication o' tho
charge o' piracy again us, I'm achln'
to get shot of the Maggie an' her crew ;
io If you'll kindly peel off all of your
fclothca with tho exception, say, of
'your undordrawcrs, we'll swim off to
that b'ark an, give Phlneas P. Scruggs
jan exhibition of real sallorlzln' an'
j seamanship."
"What's the big ldeo?" McGuffey
(demanded cautiously.
"Why, we sail her In ourselves
Vie an' you an' gloat all the talvage
lor outmIvm. T'ell with Scraggs an'
Ihe Magglo an' that new mnto an'
engineer. I'm ofT'n 'em for life."
Pop-eyed with excitement and Inter
est, II. McGuffey, Esquire, stood up.
and with a single twist shed his cap
and coat. Ills shirts followed. Both
he and Glhney wcro already minus
their shoes and Bocks. To slip out of
their fuded dungarees wbh tho work
of an Instant. Strapping their belts
around their waists to hold up their
drawers, the worthy pair stepped to
me rail of the Moggie.
"Iley, there? Where you goln', Gib?
I give you that clearance nancr on
condition that you wns to tell me how
to salvage that thcro bark."
"I'm Just about to tell you. Scraggs.
You don't touch a thing aboard the
Maggie. You leave her out of It en
tirely. You Just Jump overhonrd, like
mo an' Mac will In a Jiffy, swim over
to the bark, climb aboard, and sail
her .In to Snn Francisco hny. When
you get there you drop anchor an' call
It a day's work." He grinned broad
ly. "One o these bright days. Scraggs.
when me nn' Mac Is Just wnllerlu' In
salvage money, drop around to see us
an' we'll give you a kick In tho face.
Farewell, you boohs," and ho dovo
overboard.
"Ta-ta," McGurfey cried In his tan
talizing falsetto voice, and followed
his leader Into the briny deep.
CHAPTER VI.
The tide wns Mill nt tho flood and'
the two adventurers made fast progress
toward the Chesapeake. Choosing n
favorable opportunity as the vessel
flipped, they grnsued her martingale,
limbed up on the bowsprit, and ran
"long the bowsprit to the to-gallan'-roYnstle.
On the deck below u dead
mail lay In the snippers, and such a
horrible stenih pervaded tho vessel
Unit MeGiilVoy was taken very HI and
was roitcd io seek the rail.
"Scurvy or soineihln'," Mr. Glhney nn
nnuiifi'd, qulle calmly. "There should
ho chloride of lime in the mate's store
loom ri) Matter some on these poor
devils. Too cln,e to port now to chuck
"em overboard. Anyhow, Hart, me nn
you ain't doctors, nor yet coroners or
undertakers, so you'd better skip along
nn' biillit a lire under the donkey aft.
Aiiiicriu.s in the galley, of course."
He trotted down to the main deck
and prowled aft. On the port side or
her house he found two more dead
men. and a cursory Inspection of the
bodies told him they had died of scur
vy. He circled tho ship, came back
to tho fo'cnslle, entered, nnd found
four men alive In their berths, hut too
far gone to lonve them. "I'll have von
hoys In the Marine hospital tonight,"
he Informed the poor creatures, and
sought the mnstor's cabin. Lying on
his bed. fully dressed, he found the
skipper or the Chesapeake. The man
was gaunt and emaciated.
Tho freebooter of tho green-pen
trade touched his wet forelock respect
fully. "My nnme Is Glbney, sir, an' I
hold nn unlimited license as flrst mnto
of snll or steam. I wus passln' up
the coast on a good-for-nothln' little
humhont, nn' seen you In distress, so
mo an' a friend swum over to give
you the double O. You're In a bad
way. sir."

tables gave out and wo drank too much
rain water and nte too much fresh flsh

oil went rotten before we wore out
two months. Naturally, the ship's of
ficers stuck It out longest, but when
we drifted In hero Oils morning, I was
the only man aboard able to stand up.
I crawled up on tho to'-gnllan' fo'cas
tie and let go the starboard anchor. I'd
hud It cock-billed for thrco weeks.
All I had to do was knock out the
stopper."
While Mr. Glbnoy questioned him
and listened avidly to tho horrible tnlo
of privation and despulr, McGuffey
lllllfe
appeared to report u brisk fire under
the donkey and to promise steam lu
forty minutes; also that tho Maggie
was hovo to a cable length distant,
Willi her crew digging under the deck
load of vcgetnhles for tho smnll boat.
"Help yourself to u belnyln' pin, Bart,
an' knock 'em on the heuds If they
try to come aboard," Mr. Glbney or
derrd notchnluntly.
"Ho I understand there Is n.stcnmer
at hand. Mr. Glhney?" the master of
tlie Chesapeake queried.
"There's tin excuse for one, sir. The
little vegetable freighter Maggie. She'll
never bo able to tow you In, because
Khe ain't got power enough, on' If
she had power enough she ntn't got
coal enough. Besides, Scruggs, her
owner, Is a rotten bad nrtlcle nn' be
fore he'll put a ropo aboard you he'll
tlo you up on a contract for n flgger
that'd make on nngel weep. The way
your ship lies an' everything, me un'
McGuffey can sail her in for you n(
hulf the price."
"I cun't risk my ship In tho hands
of two men," tiie sick captain nn
swercd. "She's too valuable and so Is
her cargo. If this little steamer will
tow me in I'll gladly give her my tow
lino and let the court settle the hill."
"Not by a million," Mr. Glbney pro
tested. "Beg pardon, sir, hut you don't
know this here Scraggs like I do. I
couldn't think of lettln' him set foot
on this deck."
"You couldn't think of It? Well.
when did you take command of my
ship?"
"You're flotsam an' Jetsam, sir, nn'
practically In the breakers. You're
sick, an', for all I know, delirious, so
for the snko o' protcctln' you, the
sick seatnnn In the fo'castle an' the
owners, I'm takln' command."
Tho master of the Chesapeake
reached under his pillow and produced
a pistol. "Out of my cabin or I'll riddle
you," he barked feebly.
Mr. Glbney departed without n word
of protest and proceeded to mnko his
arrangements, regardless of the mas
ter's consent. As he nnd McGuffey
busied themselves. Inylng the leading
blocks along the deck, they glanced
toward the Maggie and observed Cap
tain Scraggs hurling crates of vege
tables overboard in an effort to get at
tho small lumt tniii-ldv. "fin'n ill,.
when the freight claims come in." Mr.
McGuffey chortled. "Poor ol' Scrag
gsy r
When Captain Scraggs came aboard,
.Mr. Glbney escorted him around to the
master's cabin. Introduced him, nnd
stoou uy while they bargained. "The
tow will cost you five thousand. Can-
tain," Scraggs began pompously.
"Ale nn' McGuffey'll sail you lu for
four," Glbney declared
"Three thousand," snarled Scraggs.
"Sallln's chenp as dirt nt two thous
nnd. As a mutter of fact, Scraggsy,
me un' Mnc'll sail her In for not bin'
Just to skin you out o' the salvage."
"Two thousand dollars Is my lowest
figure," Scraggs declared. "Tnke It
or leave It, Captain. Under the cir
cumstances, bargaining Is useless. Two
thousand Is my last hid."
The figure Scraggs nnmed wns prob
ably one fifth of what the master of
the Chesapeake knew n court would
uward ; nevertheless he shook his head.
"It's a straight towing Job. Cantaln.
nnd not a salvage proposition ut all.
A tug would tow me In for two bun
tired nnd fifty, but I'll give you five
hundred."
Remembering the vegetables ho hnd
Jettisoned, Scraggs knew ho could not
efford to accept that price. "I'm
through," he bluffed and his blulT
wi rked.
Tnken, Captain Scraggs. Write out
an agreement and I'll sign It."
With the agreement In his pocket,
Scraggs, followed by Glbney, lert the
cabin. "One hundred each to you an
Mac If you'll stay aboard the Chesa
peake, steer her, nn' 'help the Maggie
out with what sail you can get on
her," Scraggs promised.
"Tnke n long, rtinnln' Jump nt your
self, Scraggsy, old sorrowful. The best
me an Mnc'ir do Is to help you cock
bill tho anchor, nn' thnt'll cost you
ton bucks for each of us In advance."
The artful follow realized that Scraggs
knew nothing whatever about a sailing
ship nnd would have to depend upon
The Squarehead for the Information
ho required.
"All right. Here's your money,"
Scraggs replied and handed Mr. Gib
ney twenty dollars. He and Nells
llalvorsen then went forward, got out
the steel towing cable, nnd fastened n
light rope to the end of It. The skiff
floated off tho ship nt tho end of the
painter, so Tho Squarehead hauled It
In, climbed down Into the skiff, and
made the light rcpo fnst to a thwart ;
then, with Captain Scraggs paying out
tho hawser, Nells bent manfully to the
oars and started to tow the steel cable
hack to tho Maggie. Half way there,
tho weight of tho cable dragging be
hind hlowed Tho Squarehead up and
eventually stopped him. Exerting nil
his strength ho pulled nnd pulled, hut
tho sole result of his efforts was to
wear himself out, seeing which the
Maggie's navigating officer set the lit
tle steamer In toward tho perspiring
Nells, while Cnptaln Scraggs, Glbney,
und McGuffey cheered lustily.
Suddenly an oar snapped. Instantly
Nells unshipped the remaining oar,
sprang to the stern, and attempted, by
sculling, to keep the skirt's head up to
tho wuvos. But the weight of the
cable whirled the little craft mound,
a wave rolled In over her counter, and
half-filled her; this succeeding wave
completed tho Joh and rolled the skiff
over and The Squarehead, was forced
lo swim back to the Chesapeake. Ho
climbed up the Jacob's ladder to face
a storm of abuse from Cnptaln Scraggs.
The cable was hauled back aboard
Willi difficulty, owing to the submerged
skiff at the end or It. Captain Scruggs
and The Squarehead leaned over the
Chesapeake's rati and tugged furious
ly, when the wreck came alongside, hut
all of their strength was unequal to
the task of righting tho little craft by
hauling up on the light rope attached
lo her thwart.
"For ten dollars more each me nn'
Mac'll tall on to thnt rope an' do our
best to right the skiff. After .she's
righted. I'll hall her out, borrow now
ours from this here bark, an' help Nolls
row bnck to the Maggie with tho
cable," Mr. Glhney volunteered. "Cash
lu advance, us per usual."
"You're n pair of highway robbers,
but I'll take you." Scraggs almost
walled, and paid out the money;
whereupon Glbney and McGuffey
"tnlled" on to the rope and with rau
cous cries hauled away. As a result
of their efforts, the thwart came uwuy
with the rope und the quartet sat down
with exceeding-abruptness on the hard
pine deck of tho Chesapeake.
"1 had an Idee that thwart woultl
pull loose," Mr. Glbney remurked.
"Well, what're you goln' to do now?"
"I ain't licked yet not by a Jugful,"
Scraggs snapped. "llalvorsen, haul
down that signal halyard from the mlz
zenmust, tnko one end of It In your
teeth, un swim buck to the Maggie
with it. We'll fasten u heavier line
to the cable, an' haul the cable aboard
with the Maggie's winch."
"You say that so nice, Scraggsy. old
hopeful, I'm tempted to think you cun
whistle It. Nells, ho'.s only askln' you
to risk your life overboard for nothing.
Tnln't In the shlppln' articles that a
nenmnn's got to do that. If he wants
a swlmmln' exhibition make him pay
for It through the nose.1 An' If I
was you. I'd find out how much o' this
two thousand dollars towage he's goln'
to distribute to bis crew. Pers'ully
I'd get mine In advance."
"Adclbort P. Glbney," Cnptaln
Scraggs hissed. "There's such a thing
as drlvin' n man to distraction. llal
vorsen. ure you with me?"
"Aye bane lor saxty dollurs. liny
bane worth a month's pay for take
dat swim."
"You dirty Scoweglan Ingrnte. Well,
you don't get no sixty dollars from me.
Bear n hh d and we'll drop the ship's
work bont overboard. I guess you cun
tow a signal halyard to the Maggie,
can't you, Nolls?"
Nells could nnd did. Within fifteen
minutes the Magglo was fast to her
prize. "Now we'll cockbill the an
chor," quoth Cuptnln Scraggs, so .Mo
Guffey reporting sufficient stenm In tho
donkey to turn over the windlass, the
anchor wus raised and'cockhlllcd, and
the Mnggle hauled away on the hawser
the Instant Cnptaln Scraggs signaled
his new navigating officer that the
hook was free of the bottom.
"Tho old girl don't seem to bo rank
In' headway in the right direction," Mc
Guffey remarked plaintively, after the
Maggie had strained nt the huwser for
five minutes. Mr. Gihney, standing
by with a hammer In his hand, nodded
nfilnmntively, while tho skipper or the
Chesapeake, whom Mr. Glbnoy had had
the forethought to enrry out on deck
to watch tho operation, glanced appre
hensively nshore. Scraggs measured
the distance with his eye to the near
est fringe of surf and ft was plain that
he was worried.
"Captain Scraggs," the skipper of
the Chesapeake called feebly, "Mr.
Glbney is right. That craft of yours
Is unable to tow my ship against this
wind, lo'i're losing ground. Inch by
Inch, and it will bo only a matter of
an hour or two, if you hang on to me,
before I'll be In (he breakers nnd u
total loss. You'll have to get sail on
her or let go the anchor until u tug
arrives."
"I don't know a thing about u sallln
ship," Scraggs quavered.
"I know It all," Mr. Glbnoy cut In,
"but there ain't money enough In tho
world to Induce me to exercise that
knowledge to your profit." He turned
to the master of the Chesapeake. "For
one hundred dollars each, McGuffey
an' I will sail her In for you, sir."
"I'll not take the risk, Mr. Gihney.
Captain Scraggs, If you will follow my
Instructions we'll get some sail on tho
Chesapeake. Take those lines through
tho lending blocks to the winch "
The engineer of the Mnggle came up
on deck and waved his arms wildly.
"Loggo," he bawled. "I'vo blown out
two tubes. It'll bo all I can do to get
homo without thnt tow."
"Jump on that, Scraggsy," quoth Mc
Guffey softly and cast his silken en
gineer's cap on the dock nt Scraggs'
feet. The latter's face was ashen as
hn turned to the skipper of tho Chesn
pcuke. "I'm through," he gulped. "I'll
havo to cast off. Your ship's drlvin'
on tho beach now."
"Oh. say not so, Scraggsy," snld
Mr. Glbney softly, and with u. blow
of tho hammer knocked out the sni
per on the windlass und let the nndior
go down by the run. "Not this voy.
age, nt lenst." Tho Chesapeake
rounded with a Jerk and Mr. Glbney
took Captain Scraggs gently by the
arm. "Into tho small boat, old ruin,"
ho whispered, "nnd I'll row you nn'
The Squarehead hack to tho Mnggle.
If she drifts ashore with that load
o' garden truck, you might us well
drown yourself."
Cnptaln Scraggs wns beyond words.
He suffered himself to be taken bnck
to the Maggie, after which kindly
action Mr. Glbney returned to tho
Chesapeake, climbed nboard, ami with
the assistance of McGuffey. hauled
the work boat up on the deck.
"Now," Mr. Glbney Inquired, ap
proaching the skipper of the Chosn
pcake. "what'll you give me nn' Mac,
sir, to sail you In?"
"One thousand dollars," the skipper
answered weakly.
"You refused to let us do It for n
hundred. Now It'll cost you two thous
nnd, an' I'm lettln you off cheap nt
that. Of course, yon can take n chanco
an' wait until word o' your predica
ment sifts Into San Francisco nn' n
tug comes out for you, but In the mean
time the wind may Increase nn' with
the tide at the flood how do you know
your anchor won't drag nn' pile you
up on them rocks to leeward?"'
"I'll pay two thousand, Mr. Glhney."
Without further ado, Mr. Glbney
went to the master's cabin, wrote out
an agreement, carried the skipper nft
and got his signature to the contract.
Then ho tucked the skipper Into bed
nnd came dashing out on deck.
"Come here till I Introduce you tc
the Jib halyards," he bawled to Mc
GulTey, und they went forward.
With the nid of the winch, they
braced the foreyard; then .McGnffey
ran aft and todk the wheel while Mr.
Was Forced to Swim Back to the
Chesapeake.
Glbney scuttled forward, cased up tho
compressor on the windlass, nnd per
mitted the anchor chnlu to pay out
rapidly. With the hammer, he knocked
out the pin nt the forty-live fathom
shackle and leaving the anchor to go
by the hoard, for it worried him no
longer, the bark Chesapeake moved
gently off on u west-sou'west course
thnt would keep Jicr three points oil
the land. Sho had sulllclent head sail
on now to hold her up.
Mr. Glbney fell upon the main to'-gnllan'-s'l
leads like a demon, cnrrled
them through the leading block to the
winch bend, turned over the which and
sheeted home the muln-to'-gallun'-a'l.
The Chesapeake gathered speed nnd
Mr. Glbney went aft nnd stood beside
Mr. McGuffey, the while he looked
nloft und thrilled to tho whlno of the
breeze through the rigging.' "This Is
suilorlzln'," he d'eelnred. "It sure
heats bumboatln'. Here, blast you.
Bart. You're splllln' the wind out o'
that Jib. First thing you know we'll
have her In Irons an' then tho fut will
be In the llr."
He took the wheel from McGuffey.
When ho was two miles off the bench
ho brought her up Into the wind und
made the wheel fast, a spoke to lee
wurd. "Sheet home the fore-to'gal-lan'-s'l,"
ho howled nnd dashed for
ward, "Loggo them buntllnes nn'
clewlines, my hearties, an' haul home
that sheet."
