SYNOPSIS.
The story opns with the Introduction
of Jolin hyphens, adventuror. a Masia
chii5etts man marooned by authorities at
Valparaiso. Chile. Being interested in
mining operations In Bolivia, he was de
nounced by Chile as an Insurrectionist
"i"i as a consequence was hiding. At his
hotel his attention waa attracted by an
Knglishman and a young woman.
Stephens rescued the young woman from
a drunken officer. He was thanked by
her. Admiral of the Peruvian navy con
fronted Stephens, told him that war had
Wen declared between Chile and Peru
nd offered him the office of captain. He
desired that that night the Esmeralda, a
Chilean vessel, should be captured.
Stephens accepted the commission.
Stephens met a motley crew, to which he
was assigned. He gave them final In
structions. They boarded the vessel. They
successfully captured the vessel supposed
to be the Esmeralda, through strategy.
Capu Stephens gave directions for the de
parture of the craft. He entered the cab
in and discovered the English woman
and her maid. Stephens quickly learned
the wrong vessel hnd been captured.
Jt was Lord Darlington's private yacht,
the lord's wife and maid being aboard.
He explained the situation to her lady
ship Then First Mate Tuttle laid bare
the plot, saying that the Sea Queen had
ben taken In order to go to the Antarc
tic circle. Tuttle explained that on a
former voyage he hail learned that the
Honna Isabel was lost in 1753. He had
found it frozen In a huge case of ice
on an Island and contained much gold.
Stephens consented to be the captain
of the expedition. He told I-ady
Darlington. She was greatly alarmed,
hut expressed confidence In him. The
Sea Que.-n encountered a vessel in the
fog. Stephens attempted to communicate.
Tliis cau.-ed a fierce struggle and he was
overcome Tuttle finally squaring the sit
uation. Then the Sea Queen headed south
again. I'nder Tuttle's guidance the ves
sel made progress toward its goal.
De Nova, the mate, told Stephens that he

the service. Stephens awaking from
sleep saw the ghost, supposed to have
formed the basis for Tuttle's religious
mania. T'pon advice of Laily Darlington.
Stephens started to probe the ghost.
He came upon I.lent. Sanchez, the drunk
en officer he had humbled in Chile. He
found that at Sanchez inspiration. En
gineer McKnlght played "ghost" to scare
the men Into giving up the quest. Steph
ens announced that the Sea Queen was at
the spot where Tuttle's quest was sun-
posed to be. The crew was anxious to go
on In further search. De Nova and Steph

Darlington thanked him. The Sea Queen
started northward. She was wri'cked in a
fog. Stephens. De Nova. Lady Darlington
and her maid being among those to set
out in a life boat. Ten were rescued.
Stephens saw only one chance In a tnou
nand for life. Lady Darlington confessed
her love to Stephens and he did likewise.
Lady Darlington told her life story: how
she had been bartered for a title, her
yearnins for absent love. She revealed
herself as the school chum of Stephens'
sister. She expressed a wish to die in the
sea rather thHn face her former friends
and go bnck to the old life. A ship was
sighted. The craft proved to be a derelict.
They boarded her. She was frozen tight
with hundreds of years of Ice. The ves
sel was the Donna Isabel. lest In lo3, 125
years previous. The frozen bodies of the
foriner crew were removed. They read
the log of the Isabel, which told how
the Spaniards had died from cold, one by
one. Lady Darlington sang to prevent the
men from becoming moody. The crew
commenced the hunt for treasure. They
found the iron chest, said to contain a
part of 3.0fi0.fi00 pesos, firmly imbedded In
Ice. Iidy Darlington expressed the belief
that it would never benefit the men. for
she said the Donna Isabel would never
reach port. The men got a lust for gold.
Stephens quelled It by whipping one. The
Donna Isabel showed Indications of sink
ing. They prepared to depart with what
treasure had been found
CHAPTER XXVIII. Continued.
The negro Colo acted as though he
had lost his mind, entirely, and after
studying him awhile I concluded to
let him do as he pleased. He ate
breakfast with the rest of us, hut with
out speaking, and afterward, when we
left the table, picked up the cleaver
and made directly for the lazarette. I
called to him, but he merely rolled his
eyes up at me from the blackness he
low and disappeared, the icy water
slushing underfoot. We soon heard
him vigorously slashing away at the
Ice. muttering constantly to himself.
I went part way down the ladder, with
a candle in my hand, whence I could
see him toiling away at the end of the
hole the men had excavated In the
Ice. though he paid no attention to my
call. The water was fully six inches
deep over the lazarette deck, splash
ing back and forth as the vessel
rolled, and I could see drops of, sea
water squeezing in through the sides
of her and dripping steadily down.
There was nothing to do but leave the
fellow alone, so after telling Dade to
look down the ladder once in a while
and keep an eye on him I joined the
others on deck.
"Gone clear nutty," commented Mc
Knight. tapping his head. "The very
sight o' them yellow boys was too
much for him."
"I only hope it wasn't my blow." I
said soberly.
"Blow hell! Why, that crack never
hurt his skull, Mr. Stephens. The
fellow was plumb crazy as soon as the
box was open. He never thought there
was so much money in the world.
Why. you ought to 'a heard him tell
of the junk he was goin to buy when
he got his share back to the States.
Oh. he'll come out of his dream all
right if we o.ily let him alone for a
day or so."
So we left him down there alone,
pegging away in the da?k. He came
up. however, at the call for dinner, j

eating
a
labor, raying not the slightest heed
to any of us. When night came I com
pelled him to remove his icy trousers
and boots and lie down in one of the
bunks. When I looked in a few min
utes later he was sound asleep.
That the wreck was slowly settling
down under us was beyond doubt, and
laden with ice as she was the sodden
hull would probably drop at last like a
stone. The thickening sky to the south
ward made me exceedingly anxious;
and just before dark we talked the
conditions ever together, each man
having his say. The decision was to
remain on board, all alike believing
the Donna Isabel would keep afloat
SABEL
With All My Strength I Flung Myself
several days yet. unless the weather
became serious. Everything was made
ready, however, for a hasty escape,
and a deck-watch set.
Doris passed the greater part of my
watch on deck with me. and as Kelly
was on the poop we were the nearest
to being alone together we had ever
been. It was an exceedingly dark
night, but still an awful sense of lone
liness brooding over- the black waters,
the canvas forward flapping mourn
fully, the huge rudder continually
creaking to the slap of the waves, and
a faint gurgle of water sounding from
below. The dreariness of It affected
Ua bolh. in spHc of an effort at cheer
fulness; besides, we had little to talk
about except our perilous situation.
Yet there was an acute pleasure in
thus being together, and so she lin
gered on beside nie, her eyes wander
ing from my face out into the gloom,
much of the time silent, yet content
Finally, after urging her to go in out
of the chill, I took a turn forward,
even clambering up the Ice hummock
to the fore peak, and testing the rise
of water with a measuring rod. As I
returned aft, where Kelly was slap
ping himself to keep warm, a light
naky snow began falling and soon
powdered the decks.
I did not undress, but flung myself
on the couch in the main cabin after
replenishing the fire, and lay there
some time, staring up at the smoky
deck-beams, listening to the slush of
water in the lazarette, half-frightened
by the soddenness of the hulk's roll
ing. Yet my conviction that she would
keep afloat for hours yet finally lulled
me to sleep.
De Xova woke me with a fierce grip
on the shoulder, and I started up, no
ting the gray dawn on the front win
dows, and reading the truth in his
face before he uttered a word.
"Is she going?"
"Oul. Oui; by gar. she sink quick!"
"Call all hands; get the boat clear
and ready to 8wing. I'll bring the
women."
The men were tumbling out as I
pounded on the after stateroom door.
A glance through the stern-ports
brought my heart into my throat, the
crests of the pursuing' waves were so
close. Knowing that both women
would be fully dressed. I flung open
the door and began hastily gathering
up their belongings. Within a brief
minute we were outside on the deck.
A single glance told us there was no
time to waste. The sea ran somewhat
heavier, yet with a regular swell, the
Donna Isabel reeling and staggering
like a drunken man. The vessel had
sunk so deeply that her main-chains
dipped, while her list p Tmit'ed the wa
ter free entrance through the gap in
the port bulwarks, and flooded the
deck. There was a desperation to her
mad wallowing which made me think
each plenge would prove her last. I '
swung Doris into the s:em of the long
boat, bidding her hold tight.
"Now jump, men lively, or she'll
go down under r.s! De Xova. Jolm-

Slide down the line everybody, and
cast off oars, men, oars, or she'll
swamp us."
The dip of the chains missed us by
the barest inch; then we swun clear,
tossed high on the creamy crest of a
huge roller, which enabled us to look
straight down on the sloping deck.
"Is every one here?" I asked.
"All but Jem Cole, sir."
"Cole, where is be?"
It was Johnson who answered.
"Weil, all I know about it Is, I
hauled him out o the bunk, and shook
him wide awake. Then I left him to
go out and rout out Kelly. That's the

last I saw of him, sir, but It's a sure
thing he ain't here."
De Nova had hold of the tiller, and
I sprang forward, pushing past San
chez, who was In the bow.
"Lay her nose close in where I can
jump for the chains," I ordered sharp
ly. "We can't leave Cole behind to
drown."
It was a bit of a ticklish job the way
the sea was running, and that lumping
wreck sagging under, but the mate
knew his trade, and, as the boat rose
high on the swell. I leaped and hung
on, my feet dangling in the froth. As
the sodden hull swung reeling over I
clambered up, and dropped to the
deck. The missing negro was nowhere
in sight. I leaned over, staring down
at the bobbing boat being hurled back
by the rebound of the surge, yet see
ing only the white face of Dorla up
turned appealingly toward me.
"Pull out. boys; strong, now! Give
her plenty of room so she won't suck
you down when she drops. I've got
to try the cabin."
I got aft that far. I even got fair
ly within the door, and my ears caught
the dull, muffled sounds of blows be
tween decks. My God! the fellow had
actually gone back into that icy hold
to dig for gold! As I stood there, trem
bling, wondering if I could dare the
passage, I felt a sudden quiver of the
deck, heard a sharp, ripping sound
forward, a yell of mingled voices, and
turned and ran for the rail. With all
my strength I flung myself forth
straight out into the gray sea. I went
down, down, down, feeling as if the
very life was being sucked out of me.

coldness of the water. As I came up.
gasping, struggling, scarce able to
move a cramped limb, the suction
caught me. dragging me back and
down again. I battled against It like
a madman, every Instant an agony;
and then, all at once, I found the crest
and breathed in the welcome air. my
stiffened limbs moving mechanically.
my brain throbbing with pain. I could I
see nothing until a huge roller flung
me upward, buffeting my face with icy
spray, and there, below in the hollow,
tossed the long-boat, every pallid face
siaring up at me. I saw them fran
tically back water, as the great surge
hurled me down headlong. I was be
side them: they clutched at me and
missed. The stern, swung suddenly
about by the blow of the sea, loomed
over me. and then my fingers gripped
a dripping oar-blade. God knows how
I ever clung to it. wrenched by that
sea how the strength remained in
my numbed hands: but some one
twisted a hoathook in the collar of my
jacket, and so they hauled me. drip

and comprehension of my condition. I
endeavored weakly to lift my head,
fighting against the awful numbness
that held me prostrate. Everything
seemed a dream, yet in that dream I
heard De Nova's voice:
"Take him for'ard tare, dam' quick.
Strip re wet clothes off, or he freeze
dead. By gar, jump you, Kelly, an'
get blanket roun him!"
I hardly know what they did. for I
scarcely retained sufficient life to re
alize that I was still alive; but, when
I was fairly warm beneath a pile of
blankets. I saw Doris sitting where
she could look down into my face,
and the men busy stepping the mast
and getting up sail. I pushed my
hand out from under the covers and
found hers.
"Don't cry. little girl." I whispered
tenderly; "it Is all right now."
She bent down, her cheek pressed
against mine, unable to speak.
"Did did the Donna Isabel go
down?" I asked, after a moment's si
lence. "Yes. and and It nearly caught us."
her voice sobbing, as the memory of
it all came back. "I I saw you jump,
and then there was nothing nothing
but the sea. Oh! how did God ever
save you ever bring you back to
me?"
I could only press her hand under
the warmth of the blankets, still feel
ing it difficult to breathe.
"Did did you see Cole?" she ques
tioned at last, more calmly.
"No, but I heard him; he was down
in the lazarette, chopping at the ice,
poor devil."
I felt her shiver; then she lifted her
head, looking forth over the sea,"2
"To the very end the dead are
doomed to guard that gold," she said
soberly. "I wish we had none of it
aboard." I lay watching the delicate
profile of her face, happy, yet with a
little of foreboding.
"Lift me up a little, dear, until I
can look about"
She did so with much gentleness,
and I leaned against the gunwale. It
was a raw, cloudy morning, sea and
sky the same dull, dreary expanse of
gray, with nothing anywhere to re
lieve the awful loneliness of water on
which we tossed. Our eyes met and
our handclasp tightened.
CHAPTER XXIX.
In Which We Fight Death.
I remember distinctly enough the
first six days of that boat voyage; it
seems as if every detail was burned
upon my brain with fire. I see the
faces of the men constantly becoming
more haggard and hopeless as they
stared, dull-eyed and aimlessly, oat
over the endless waste of water to the
dun sky. We were so tired of it; It
had grown so hateful in its pitiless
vacancy. Us dull, dreary void. It
seemed to me that with every re
curring dawn those within the boat
appeared older, grayer, more deeply
lined; their exposed flesh caked more
heavily with the salt spray; their
limbs cramped from confinement and
cold; their eyes lusterless and heavy
with despair. They conversed with
some effort at cheerfulness at first,
figuring on the speed with which wo
sailed, dividing up the treasure, count
ing the gold pieces, and speculating
upon their probable value. But de
pression followed swiftly as day
merged into day, with only that samo
desert of tumbling waters stretching
about us, that same wild sky over
head. Finally the growling voices
ceased entirely, the fellows becoming
moody and sullen, scarcely answering
even when addressed.

"And did he cut down your favorite

"He did a heap better than that

"And did he tell a lie about it?"
"Nope. Owned up like a little

Finds Campus Corner.
Robert Harvey, state surveyor, has
found the initial corner of the campus
of the Peru state normal school after
a search of many weeks which led him
through many experiences that might
have caused a Sherlock Holmes to
give up in despair. By his own efforts
and the aid of many old settler who
remembered the marks made In the
60's, he found the stone that marked
the center of the section in which
the campus is located, but proved that
it was incorrectly placed. As all sur
reys have been based on this old sur
rey it will be taken as the correct one.
Mr. Harvey placed a dozen or more
new monuments at the different zig
zag corners of the campus and future
generations may find a history of the
survey chiseled on brick under ce
ment and wiih iron pipe and wooden
poles to mark the spots.
Lack of Water for Irrigation.
State Engineer E. C. Simpson, as
secretary of the state board of irriga
tion, has received many complaints
from western Nebraska from irriga
tors. Complaints are made that
claimants are using water to which
Dthers have prior rights. Informa
tion received indicates that the North
Platte river and all of the smaller
streams in the western part of the
state are almost dry. Lack of snow in
the mountains in Colorado and Wy
oming is given as the reason for lack
ot water in the Platte river. Usually
these rivers rise the latter part of
June from the melting snow.
Governor's At Home Days.
Much having been said about the
absence of Governor Shallenberger
from hi3 office. Private Secretary
Furse has looked up the record and
ands that Governor Sheldon was ab
sent from the state ninety-eight days
in two years, being an average of over
four days a month, and that Governor
Shallenberger was absent from the
state fcrty-eight days in eighteen
months, being an average of less than
three days a month. A record is kept of
the number of days the governor Is
libsent from the state, but no record
Is kept of the number of days he is
absent from the capital.
University Place Depot.
The railway commission which re
cently permitted a slight change in
the proposed location of the Rock Is
land depot at University Place has
approved plans and specifications for
the building. The plans approved call
for a structure 40x20 feet with a wait
ing room at one end and a freight
room at the other with a telegraph
and ticket office between the two
rooms. The work of construction will
soon be commenced.
Lincoln Not Free High School.
Because the Lincoln high school has
issued contracts with school districts
and requires a promise that non-resident
pupils will pay Si8 a year addi
tional to the 27 tuition allowed nnder
the free high school law. State Super
intendent E. C. Bishop has issued a
notice that he is under the necessity
of withdrawing from the Lincoln high

The Direct Legislation league will
proceed with Its original plans for
securing the election of a direct legis
lation legislature this fall, now that
the special session is out of the ques
tion. President John H. Jlockett. Jr..
said: "The league from now on will
work to two ends. It will try to se
cure favorable pledges in all the party
platforms, and also from all the legis
lative candidates. The public inter
est in the question is shown to be
such that we cannot see how any
party convention can justly refuse a
chance to vote on the question, no
matter what the individual views of
party leaders may be on the merits of
the question. But the work will not
stop with the party platforms. For
the information of voters at the pri
maries the league will question candi
dates for the legislature. With the
voters informed In advance of the po
sition of candidates on this question
there should be no difficulty, in most
