CHAPTER XIII Continued.

A Jacob's Inddcr was hnnglng over
the side of tlie schooner as the ennoo
shot In under bcr lee quarter, and hnlf
a minute later the expectant Nells
stepped upon her deck. A toll dark
man, wearing nn undent polralcnf
hat, sat smoking on the hatch conm
Ing, nnd hltn Nells Halvorscn ad
dressed. "Aye bane want to see Cap'n
Scraggs," he said.
The tall dark man stood erect and
cast a quick, questioning look at Nells
Halvorscn. Ho hesitated before he
made answer.
"What do you want?" he asked de
liberately, and there was a subtle
menace In his tones. As for Nells
llnlvorsen. thinking only of the sur
prise ho had In store for his old em
ployer, ho replied evasively:
"Aye bane want Job."
"Well, I'm Captain Scrnggs, and I
haven't any Job for you. Get off my
boat and wait until you're Invited be
fore you como aboard again."
For nearly a minute Nells Ilalvor
sen stored open-mouthed at the spuri
ous Captain Scruggs, while slowly
there sifted through his brain the no
tion that ho had happened across the
track of a deep nnd bloody mystery
of the sens. There was "something
rotten In Denmark." Of that Nells
llnlvorsen wns cortnln. More ho could
not bo certain of until he had paved
the way for n complete Investigation,
nnd as u preliminary step toward
that end ho clinched his fist nnd
sprang swiftly toward the bogus skip-.
per.
"Ayo tank you bane d n llnr," he
muttered, nnd struck home, straight
and true, to the point of the Jaw.
The man went down, nnd In nn In
stnnt Nells wns on top of him. OIT
enmc the sailor's bolt, the hands of
the half-stunned man were quickly
tied behind him, and before he had
time to realize what had happened
Nells bad cut n length of cord from
it trailing halyard and tied his feet
securely, after which he gagged him
securely with his banduuu handker
chief. A quick circuit of tho ship con
vlnced Nells llnlvorsen thnt the re
mainder of the dnstard crew were
evidently ashore, so ho descended to
the cabin In senrch of further evi
dence of crime. lie was quite pre
pared to find Captain Scrnggs' mus
ter's certificate In Its familiar oaken
frame, hanging on the cnbln wall, but
ho was tlumfoundcd to observe, hnng
Ing on the wall In n similar and
equally familiar frame, the certificate
of Adclbert P. Glhney as first mate
of steam or snll, any ocenn nnd any
tonnage. But still n third framed
ccrtlilcate hung on tho wall, und Nells
again scratched his bend when he
rend tho wording thnt set forth tho
legal qunllllciitlons of Bartholomew
McGuffey to hold down n Job ns
chief engineer of coastwise vessels
tip to 1,200 tons net register.
It was patent, even to the dull
witted Swede, that there had been
foul play somewhere, nnd tho schoon
er's log, lying open on the table,
seemed to offer the first menns nt
bund for n solution of tho mystery.
Kugcrly Nolls turned to tho last en
try. It wns not In Captain Scrnggs'
handwriting, nnd contained nothing
more Interesting than the stereotyped
reports of dnlly observations, cur
rents, weather conditions, etc., In
cluding n notntlon of arrival that day
nt Honolulu. Slowly llnlvorsen
turned the leaves backward, until at
Inst he was rewarded by u glimpse of
n different handwriting. It wns tho
Inst entry under that particular hand
writing, nnd read as follows:
"Juno 21, 13. Took an observation at
noon, nnd find that wo nro In SO 15 B
17S-4 W. At tills rate should lift Tuvatia
tholo early this afternoon. All hands
well and looking forward to the fun nt
Tuvana. I3ent a new tlyltifr Jib this morn
lnc and had the kltuc and Tabu-Tabu
holystone tho deck. A. I. CIIBNEY."
Nells Halvorsen sat down to think,
nnd after several minutes of this un
tisual exercise It apponred to the
Swede that ho hnd stumbled upon a
clue to the situation. Tho last entry
lu tho log kept by Mr. Glbnoy wns
under date of Juuo Ulst Just eleven
days ago, and on that date Mr. Glb
noy had been looking forwnrd to some
fun at Tuvann-tholo. Now where wns
that Island and what kind of u
place was It?
Nells senrched through the cabin
nntll he enmo ncross the book that Is
the bible of every South sea trading
vessel the British admiralty reports.
Down tho Index went tho old deck
band's calloused finger and pnuscd nt
"Friendly Islands pngc 177;" where
upon Nells opened the book nt pnge
177 nnd after a fire-nil nu to senrch
discovered that Tuvann-tholo was n
bnrrcn, uninhabited Islnnd In latitude
21-2 south, longitude 178-10 west
Ten days from tho Friendly Islands,
the papor said. That mennt under
power and sail with the trades abaft
tho beam. It would take nenrer tlf
teen days for the run from Honolulu
to that dosort Islnnd, nnd Nells Hal
verstn wondered whether the mn
rooned men would still be alive by
tb time uld could rmch them. For
by some sixth sailor senso Nells llnl
vorsen became convinced that his old
friends of the vegetable trnde were
marooned. They had gone nshore for
some kind of u frolic, nnd tho crew
hnd stolen tho schooner nnd left thorn
to their fate, believing thnt the cust
nwayn would never bo heard from
nnd tlint dead men tell no tales.
He rushed on deck, curried his pris
oner down Into the cnbln, nnd locked
the door on him. A minute Inter ho
wns cllnglug to tho Jncob's Inddcr,
tho canoe shot In to the side of the
vessel at bis gruff command nnd
passed on shoreward without missing
a stroke of the paddle. An hour
inter, accompanied by three Knnnka
snllors picked up nt random nlong the
wnter front, Nells llnlvorsen wns
pulled out to the Maggie II. Her
crew had not returned und the bogus
capliilu was still triced hard and fast
In the cabin.
The Swede did not bother to Inves
tigate In detail the food and i water
supply. A hnsty round of the schoon
er convinced hltn that she had at
least a month's supply of food and
water. Only one thought surged
through his mind, and that was the
awful necessity for haste. Tho an
chor came In with n rush, the Ka
naka boys chanting n song that
sounded to Nells like a funeral dirge,
nnd Nells went below and turned the
gasoline engines wldo open. The
Maggie II swung around and with u
long stronk of opalescent foam trail
ing behind her swung down the bay
and faded nt Inst In tho ghostly moon
light beyond Diamond head; after
which Nells Halvorsen, with murder
In bis eye nnd a tarred rope's cud In
his horny list, went down Into the
cabin und talked to the man who
posed as Captain Scruggs. In the end
he got n confession. Fifteen minutes
Inter he emerged, smiling grimly, gave
the Kanaka hoy at tho wheel the
course, nnd turned In to sleep the
sleep of the conscience-free und the
weary.
Darkness wus creeping over the
beach at Tuvana-tholo before Mr.
Glbney could smother the despair In
his heart sufllclcut to spur bis Jaded
Imagination to working order. For
nearly un hour tho three custawuys
had sat on the beach In dumb horror,
gazing seawnrd. They were not alone
In this, for u little further up the bench
tho two FIJI Islandors sat huddled on
their haunches, gazing stupidly first
at the horizon nnd then nt their white
captors. It wns the sight of these
two worthies that spurred Mr. Glb
ney's torpid brnln to action.
"Didn't you say, Mac, that when wo
left these two cannibals alone on this
Islnnd that It would develop Into a
enso of dog eat dog or somethln' of
that nnture?"
Captain Scraggs sprang to bis feet,
bis face white with n new terror.
However, he hnd endured so much
slucc embarking with Mr. Glhney on
a life of wild ndventuro that his
3
Prisoner
Cabin.
Down Into tho
nerves had become rather Inured to
Impending death, and presently his
fear gave way to nn overmastering
rage. Ho hurled his hat on the sands
und Jumped on It until It wns a mere
shapeless rag.
"Let's call a mcetln' of the Itobln
son Crusoe syndlcnte," said Mr. Glb
ney. "(Second the motion," rumbled Mc
Guffey. "Carried," said tho commodore.
"Tho first business before the mcetln'
Is tho organization of u expedition to
chnso these two cannibals to tho
other end of tho Island. I ain't got
tho heart to kill 'em, so let's chnso 'em
uwny before they get fresh with us."
"Good Idea," responded McGuffey,
whereupon he picked up n rock and
threw It nt the king. Mr. Glbney fol
lowed with two rocks, Captain
Scraggs screamed defiance at the eti-
mmmmskHm

GIANTS,"
Etc.
cmy, and the enemy (led In wild dis
order, pursued by the syndicate. After
n chase of half u mile Mr. Glbney led
his cohorts back to the beach.
"Let's build a lire not that wo
need It, but Just for company and
sleep till morula'. By thnt time my
linugluatlou'll be In work In' order und
I'll scheme a breakfast out of this
Godforsaken hole."
At the first hint of dawn Mr. Glb
ney, true to his promise, was up nnd
scouting for breakfast, llo found
some gooneys on n rocky crag and
killed half u dozen of them with a
club. On his way hark to camp be
discovered a few liundfuls of sen suit
In a crevice between some rocks, and
tho syndicate breakfasted un hour
later on roast gooney. It wus oily nnd
fishy but un excellent substitute for
nothing nt nil, and tho syndicate was
grateful. The breakfast would have
been cheerful, In fact, If Captain
Scruggs had not made repeated ref
erence to his excessive tlilrst. Mc
Guffey lost patience before tho meal
was over, and cuffed Captain Scrnggs,
who thereupon subsided with tears In
his eyes. This hurt McGuffey. It wns
like salt In u fresh wound, so he put
ted the skipper on the back und
humbly asked his pardon. Captain
Scraggs forgave him and murmured
something about death making them
nil equal.
"The next business before the syn
dicate," announced Mr. Glbnoy, "Is n
search of this Island for water."
They searched all forenoon. At In
tervals they caught glimpses of the
two cannibals skulking behind sand
dunes, but they found no water.
Toward the center of the Islnnd, how
ever, tho soil was less barren, nnd
here a grove of coconut palms lifted
their tufted crests Invitingly.
"We will camp In this grove," said
the commodore, "nnd keep guard over
these green coconuts. There must be
nearly a hundred of them nnd I no
tice a little taro root here und there.
As those coconuts are full of milk,
that Insures us life for a week or two
If we go on n short ration. By bath
In' several times a day we can keep
down our thirst some nnd perhaps
it'll rain."
"What If It docs?" snapped Captnln
Scraggs bitterly. "Wo ain't got noth
In' hut our huts to catch It In."
"Well, then, Scraggsy, old stlck-ln-tbe
mud," replied the commodoro
quizzically, "It's u cinch you'll go
thirsty. Your hut looks like a cul
lender." Captain Scraggs choked with rage,
nnd Mr. Glhney, springing nt the near
est palm, shinned to tho top of It In
the most approved sailor fashion. A
moment later, Instead of coconuts,
rich unctuous curses began to de
scend on McGuffey and Scraggs.
"Gib, my dear boy," inquired
Scraggs, "whatever Is tho matter of
you?"
"That
strlppln'
hound Tnbu-Tnbu's been
our coconut grove," routed
the commodore. "He must have spent
half the night up In these trees."
"Thank the Lord they didn't take
'em nil," said McGulToy piously.
"Chuck me down n nut, Gib," said
Captain Scrnggs. "I'm famished."
In conformity with the commodore's
plans, the castaways made enmp In
thu grove. For a week they subsist
ed on gooneys, taro root, coconuts
nnd coconut milk, nnd n sen-turtlo
which Scraggs found wandering on
the beach. This suggested turtle
eggs to Mr. Glbney. and a change of
diet resulted. Nevertheless, the un
accustomed food, poorly cooked as It
was, and the lack of water, told cru
elly on them, und their strength
lulled rapidly.
At the end of n week, nil bunds were
troubled with Indigestion und McGuf
fey developed a low fever. They had
lost much flesh und wero u white, haggard-looking
trio. On tho afternoon
of the tenth day on the Island the sky
clouded up nnd Mr. McGuffey predict
ed a wUllwuw. Captain Scraggs In
quired feebly If It was good to eat.
Tlmt night It rained, und to the
groat Joy of the marooned mariners
Mr. Glhney discovered, In the center of
n big sandstone rock, a natural reser
voir that held about ten gallons of wai
ter. They drank to repletion and felt
their strength return a thousand-fold.
Tabu-Tabu and tho king canto Into
camp about this time, and pleaded for
a ration of wnter. Mr. Glbney, swear
ing horribly nt tjicm, granted their re
quest, and the king, In his gratitude,
throw himself nt tho commodore's feet
nnd kissed them. But Mr. Glbney wus
not to be deceived, and after furnish
ing them with n supply of wnter In
coconut calabashes, bo ordered them
to their own sldo of the Island.
On the eighteenth day the last drop
of water was gone, nud on tho twenty-
second day tho lupt of tho coconut?
disappeared. The prospects of more
ruin were not bright. Tho gooneys were
becoming shy and distrustful and the
syndlcnto was experiencing more nnd
inoro dllllculty, not only In killing
them, but In eating them. McGuffey,
'who had homo up uncomplainingly,
was shaking with fever and hardly
ablo to stagger down tho beach to look
for turtln oirus. Tho svndlento wns
side, weak and emnclated nlmost bo-
yond recognition, and on tho twenty -
fifth day Captnln Scrnggs fainted
twice. On tho twenty-sixth dny Mc
Guffey crawled Into tho shadow of n
stunted mimosa bush nnd started to
pray 1 t
It was the finish. The commodore
knew it, nnd sat with bowed head In
his gaunt arms, wondering, wondering.
Slowly his body began to sway; he
mattered something, slid forwurd on
his face, nnd lay still. And as ho lay
there on the threshold of the unknown
he dreamed that the Maggie II camo
Into view around the headland, n bone
In her teeth nnd every stitch of canvas
flying. He saw her luff up Into the
wind and hang there shivering; a mo
ment Inter her sails came down by the
run, nnd he saw a little splash under
her port how us her hook took bottom.
There wns a commotion on decks, and
then to Mr. GIbney's dying ears came
faintly the shouts and songs of the
black boys as n whaJohoat shot Into
the breakers and pulled swiftly toward
the beach. Mr. Glbney dreamed that
a white man sat In the stern sheets of
this whnlchoat, nud as the boat
toiiched the beach It seemed to Mr.
Glbney that this man sprang nshore
and ran swiftly toward him. And
Mr. Glbney twisted his .suffering lips
Into a wry smile ns he realized the
oddities of this mirage It seemed to
hltn that Mils visionary white man
bore a striking resemblance to Nells
Halvorscn. Nells llnlvorsen, of till
men I Old Nelis, "the squarehead"
deckhand of the green-pea trade! Dull,
howlegged Nells, with his lost dog
smllo anil his
Mr. Glbney rubbed bis eyes feebly
nnd half staggered to his feet. What
was that? A shout? Without doubt
ho bad heard a sound that was not the
moaning of their remorseless prison
keeper, tho sea. And
"Hands olT," shrieked Mr. Glbney
nnd struck feebly nt the imaginary fig
ure rushing toward him. No use. He
felt himself swept Into strong arms
and carried an Immeasurable distance
down the beach. Then somebody
threw wnter In his face and pressed n
drink of brandy and sweet water to
his parc'icd lips. Ills swimming senses
rallied a moment, and he discovered
that ho was lying In the bottom or a
whalehoat. McGuffey lay beside him,
and on u thwart In front of him sat
good old Neils Halvorsen with Captain
Scruggs' head on his knees. As Mr.
Glbney looked nt this strange tableau
Captain Scraggs opened bis eyes,
glanced up nt Nells Halvorsen, and
spoke:
1 "Why If It ain't old squarehead
Nells," ho muttered womleringly. "If
It ain't Nells, I'll go to hades or some
other seaport." He closed his eyes
again and subsided into a sort of leth
argy, for he was content, lie knew he
wns saved.
Mr. Glbnoy rolled over, and, strug
gling to his knees, leaned over Mc
Guffey nnd peered Into his drawn face.
"Mac, old shlpmnte! Mne, speak to
me. Are you alive?"
B. McGuffey, Esquire, opened n pair
of glazed eyes and stared at the com
modore. "Did we lick 'em?" he whispered.
"The last I remember the king wns
puttln It nil over Scraggsy. And that
Tabu boy was no slouch." McGuf
fey paused, and glanced warily around
the boat, while a dawning horror up
peured In his sunken eyes. "Go buck.
Nells go bnck for God's sitke.
There's two niggers still on the
Islnnd. Bring 'em some wnter.
They're cnnnlbnls Nells, but never
mind. Get them aboard the poor
devils If they're living. I wouldn't
leave n crocodile on that hell hole,
If I could help It."
An hour Inter the Robinson Crusoo
syndlcnte, Including the man Friday
and tho Goat, were safe aboard the
Magglo II, and Nells Halvorsen, with
the tears streaming down his bronzed
cheeks, wns sparingly doling out to
them u mixture of brandy and water.
And when tlio syndicate was strong
enough to be allowed all the water It
wanted, Nells Halvorsen propped them
up on deck and told tho story. When
he had finished, Captain Scrnggs
turned to Mr. Glbney.
"Gib, my dear boy," ho said, "make
a motion."
"I move," said the commodore, "that
we set Tabu-Tabu and the king down
on the first Inhabited Island wo can
find. They've suffered enough. And I
further move that we readjust the
ownership of tho Maggie II syndicate
and cut tho best Swede on earth in on
a quarter of the profits."
"Second the motion," said McGuffey.
"Carried," said Captain Scraggs.
CHAPTER XIV.
Tho lookout on the power schooner
Maggie II had sighted Diamond head
before Commodore Adclbert I Glbney,
Captain I'hlnens P. Scruggs nnd Kit
glneer Bartholomew McGuffey were
enabled to declare, in all sincerity (or
at least with as much sincerity ns one
might reasonably expect from this hand
of roving rascals), that they had en
tirely recovered from their harrowing
experiences on the desert Island of Tuvana-tholo,
in the Friendly group.
At the shout of "Land, hoi" Mr. Mc
Guffey yawned, stretched himself, and
rat up In tho wicker lounging chair
where he had sprawled for days with
Mr. Glbney and Captain Scraggs, un
der tho awning on top of the house.
Uo flexed his biceps reflectively, while
hl companions, Btretched nt full
length In their respective chairs,
watched him lazily.
"As a member o' tho Maggie syndi
cate an' ownln' an' volln' a quarter In
torest." boomed the engineer, "I here
by call a meetln' o' the snld syndicate
for tho purpose o' trniisactln' any an
all business that mny properly come
before the meetln'."
"I'nss the word for Nells Ilalvor-
j sen," suggested Mr. Glbney.
1 his squarehead soul," he added
Bless
"We got a quorum without mm, nn'
besides this business la Just between
us three."
"Mcetln'll como to order." The
commodore tapped tho hot deck with
Jils bare heel twice. "Haul away,
Mac."
"I move you. gentlemen, that ' be
the sense o' this mcetln' that B. Mc
Guffey, Ksqulro, be on' ho Is hereby
npp'lnted u committee o' one to lam
the everlastln' daylights out o' that
sinful former chief mate o' ouro tor
ubundonin' tho syndicate to a hotrlble
death on that there desert Island. Do
I hear a second lo thnt motion?"
"Second the motion," chirped Cap
tain Scraggs.
"The motion's denied," nnnounced
Mr. Glbney firmly.
"Now, looky here, Gib, thnt nln't
fair. Didn't you fight Tabu-Tabu an'
didn't Scraggsy fight the king o' Kan
davu? I ain't had no flghtln' this en
tire v'yage an' I did cal'lato to lick
that doggone mate."
"Mac, It can't be done nohow."
"Ob, It can't, eh? Well, I'll Just bet
you two boys my Interest In the syndl
cnte" "It nln't that, Mac, It ain't that. No
body's doubtln' your natural ability
to mop him up. But It ain't policy.
Vou wnsn't sore ngln 'em cannibal
savages, was you? Vou made Nells
Commodoro
go back an' save 'em, nn It took us
two days to beat up to the first In
bnldted lsJnnd nn' drop 'cm olT "
"But a cannibal's like a dumb beast,
Gib. He nln't responsible. This mate
knows better."
"Ah!"' Mr. Glbney leveled a horny
forefinger at the engineer. "That's
where you hit the null on the head.
, He's too fly, and there's only two
ways to keep him from flyln' away
with us. The first Is to feed him to
the sharks and the second Is to treat
him like a long-lost brother. I know
be ought to be hove overboard, but I
ain't got the heart to kill him In cold
blood. Consequently, we got to let
the villain live, an' If you go to ben tin
him up, Mac, you'll make him sore an'
he'll peach on us when we get to Hono
lulu. If us three could get hack to San
Francisco with clean hands, I'd say
lick the beggar an' lick him for fair.
But we got to remember thnt this mate
was one o' the original filibuster crow
o' the old Maggie I. The day we
tackled the Mexican navy an' took
this power schooner away from 'em,
we put ourselves forty fathom plumb
outside the law, an' this mate was
present nn knows It. We've changed
the vessel's name an' rig, an' doctored
up tho old Maggie's papers to suit the
jjuggie II, an' we've give her u new
dress. But nt thnt, It's hard to dis
guise n ship In a live port, an' the se
cret servlco agents o' the Mexican gov
ernment mny bo a-layln' for us In San
Francisco; and with this hero mate
agin us an' ready to turn state's evi
dence, we're pirates under the law, an'
It don't take much Imagination to see
three pirates swlngln' from the same
yard-arm. No, sir, Mac. I ain't got
no wish, now that we're fixed nice an'
comfortable with the world's goods, to
be hung for a pirate In tho mere shank
o' my youth. Why, I nln't fifty year
old yet."

SALT WATER MORE BUOYANT
Fact That Is Well Known to Mariners
May Be Mews to Some of Our
Readers.
A boy dropped a ball Into a smnll
bole and could not get It out, so be
poured wnler Into tho hole, thinking tho
hall would float to the surface. As tho
ball was slightly heavier than tho wa
ter It remained on the bottom. Then
the boy thought of mixing salt with the
water, since ho knew suit water would
float heavier objects than fresh water
would. Ho tried this nnd was reward
ed with the flouting ball.
This particular fact Is demonstrated
at the moutha of rivers. Objects roll
ing nlong the bottow of a river, too
heavy to eome to tha top, will rise
when carried nut to sea. The rulo also
applies to boats. A ship with a cargo
on the sea will sink sometimes a foot
or two on entering a fresh water port.
If she leaves tho port with her cargo,
she will rise on entering the ocean.
For thnt reason a ship may be landed
apparently too heavily at a pier and
still be all right on the waves.
