CHAPTER XXVIII.
The following nlghl and day passed
quietly enough, the weather holding
clear, but with a mist slowly gather-
ing In the south that seemed to threat-
en change I observed just before sun-
set that this fog had so thickened and
spread as to obscure nearly a third of
the sky. and yet there was no veering
of the wind or noticeable Inorease in
the roll of the sea The hulk was
sinking, yet so slowly that we were
only certain of the fact through con-
stant measurements and the sight of
water seeping in through the numer-
ous crackn revealed by the disap-
pearing ice. It was a situation to get
upon the nerves, yet 1 do not remem-
ber that It occasioned any great
change in the routine of onr life on
board.

malned intact, and
us but for the miserable wreck under-
foot. The very glare of the sunlight
seemed to reveal with new vividness
how close the end was. L|ght as the
sea ran, the Ice-laden bow of the Don-
na Isabel ploughed deeply under,
every crest bursting in white foam
through the break In the port bul-
warks, the list in the deck so steep we
made our way forward with diflicpity
along the slippery surface. Our rate
of progress had become so slow as to
leave only the barest ripple In the wake.
Clambering over Into the forechains
I pointed out to the men bow the sea
was encroaching on the bulging side.
They stared at the evidence gravely,
each comprehending clearly the dread
meaning, yet no one spoke for a min-
ute.
“I reckon you was right, sir," ad-
mitted Johnson, finally. “The old hook-
er is goln’ down."
De Nova peered along the slippery
deck, gleaming in the sun. moodily,
but said nothing until he looked up
and caught my eyes.
"Wat you do. monsieur?"
"I mean to bold on as long as it Is
safe." I replied, "because the cabin
gives shelter to the women. We all
know what the open boat means, and
we’ll put that off until the last possible
moment, c We are not making much
progress, it's true; 4>ut still, every
mile helps, and. If this weather will
only hold, the wreck may keep afloat
for several days yet, but we’ll get
everything fixed for a quick depart-
ure.” •
Kelly and Sanchez appeared in the
cabin door, and I called to them to
join us. , '
"Now. lads, let’s make use of what
i daylight we've got left. This weather

We made a thorough iob of it. over-
hauling the boat from step, to stern,
and ending by rigging up block and
tackle for hoisting her, when loaded,
over the bulwarks. We lashed >be

Ing whatever we could find that re-
mained eatable among the frozen

thus amaksed a sufficient aupifty. We
rolled up all the extra blankets, shov-
ing them under the seats, and saw
that serviceable spars and oars were
safely stowed and lashed

stepped out of the boat. The men were
massed in a body on the deck and the
moment 1 saw them I understood they
had been discussing the situation

"I don't know, of course, but just for
a guess, perhaps $ 100.00(1-— maybe
more"
"An' zare be only ze ten of us To
divide it up make, maybe, ten t'onsand

he said, eagerly. "An' w’y not have

There was no good reason why we
shouldn't; besides, the very possibil-
ity of preserving even that share of
the treasure would prove an inspir-
ation to the men I looked about Into
their anxious faces, feeding myself
some measure of their excitement
"That will be all right. lads.'/I said
gladly. "You’ve earned It fair enough,
and we'll start with it anyhow Take
the stuff out of the chest and tie it up
In blankets Then we can stow it away
evenly so as to keep the boat bal
anced. But.” I added, as the memory
of what Doris had said came to me.
“I think It only fair to tell you that
I'm sure there Is bad luck in every
peso of it."
The men gave my croaking prophecy
no second thought, hut went trotting
aft. chattering together like a parcel

agriculture of more paramount inter,

everything that is made comes out

They did not like It; but with De
Nova, Johnson, and Dade standing be-
hind me, they realized the uselessness
of revolt. Their hesitation and growl-
ing curses irritated me none the less.
"Jump, you fellows, unless you want
the same medicine Cole just took."
The two men lifted the negro in
their arms and bore him back to one
of the slate-rooms aft. Kelly came
out again and returned with a panni-
kin of water. I bent down and closed
the Hd of the cheat. The five of us
tramped out on deck.
It was. Indeed, a rare day for that
season of the year and In that ocean,
the sky overhead pale blue and cloud-
less, the wide sea stirred merely by
the gentlest swell, the slight breese
steady, and barely firm enough to hold
the rotten canvas stiff There was

to moisten the ice along the decks

weeks. The beauty of the day would

I expected opposition, but not such
a wild storm of curses and execrations
as greeted these words. All sense of
sea discipline vanished, even De Nova
joining In the outcry. I remained,
planted across the box. waiting for
the bedlam to cease, uncertain how I
had best attempt to restore them to
their senses. Cole decided the matter
by rushing forward like an enraged
bull, throwing me aside with a heave
of his shoulder, the next Instant bury-
ing his hands in the coins. That the
fellow was out of his head was evi-
dent enough—mad as a March hare—
hut I could not hesitate because of
that. Those others were on the verge;
all they needed for open revolt was
leadership, example, and I caught up
a chair and laid the blubbering negro
on the deck, pieces of eigjit flying in
every direction as h« fell.
"Vnless it's a fight you want, stand
back, the whole of you!” I threatened,
the broken chair still in my hands.
"We may be able to take this chest,
or a part of It, with us. but there is
going to be no more digging done
D« Nova who are you

“By gar. it makes nte mad to give

Don't be a fool.
You can see this for yourself;
you're a sailor; it would require a year
to tunnel through that ice with the
tools we've got, and look at the hull
under us. Why, you can see the list
of the deck even here in the cabin,
and the feel of her when she drops in-
to a hollow is enough to make a sea-
| man sick. Which is worth most, mate,
j those yellow boys or the little girl
yonder?"
He looked at Celeste, white faced,
. the tears stainink her cheeks, her eyes
glowing like two coals, and all the
j fierce passion of resistance seemed
I to dt si rt his eountenance. His glance

No doubt; but you have sense

; The big. hairy seaman, sober faced
and grave eyed, glanced about on his

said slowly. "I've allers been poor, an’
I reckon the Lord don't mean me to

I held out my hand, deeply touched
by the sterling honesty of the reply.
You've got something worth more
than money, Bill, and that's manhood.

mate."
He resiionded awkwardly enough,
having received more cuffs than praise
during his rough sea life, yet the ex-
pression in the mild blue eyes gave
; me confidence that I had touched the
• right chord. I surveyed the others—
McKnight leaning on the cleaver, red-
faced and scowling, Sanchez. Kelly
and Dade back of him. the negro still
groaning on the deck.
i "Dade, come here.” The fellow shuf-
fled over toward me. as spineless as a
jelly fish.
