So abruptly did this appear that it seemed to Tom as If he had pushed aside a heavy but diaphanous curtain hung at the entrance to the arena and found himself an unsuspecting but leading figure of the violent event, like a Spanish fighting bull loosed from Its shrouded sequestration to burst Into the battle zone of blood and sand. Two animated objects were presented simultaneously. Just ahead lay heavy cruiser, with Sebastien by the mizzen shrouds and in the act of aiming a lethal weapon. And here on Tom's port bow was the moving target, a rowboat vigorously propelled by an oarsman that Tom recognized Instantly as Doctor White. The little shallop was badly trimmed for a race with bullets, down In the bow with a weight that represented an abstract value greater to Tom than that of his immortal soul, and a concrete worth in pounds avoirdupois or Troy more than Its equivalent in ra dium, a substance that to him was no more luminous. The Immediate effect of this tableau on Tom was to draw a red film across his vision. The yell of a corsair burst from his big chest. It reached Sebastien, who lowered his arm. lie stared for a moment at the g Ml1 i this-- h knT?n to his fishing ground. "Tou and I may not have anything on the skunk," he said to Robert, "but Dave MacFarlane has, and we can work that somehow. Let's run over and see If he is there, and If he's not we'll break out the doctor and get Us view on where we all stand." Robert wearily agreed. He felt that since the running of the show had been taken out of his hands, the best he could do was to trail along, thankful that It was at least In honest ones. Tom started the engine, and the tide being far out, gave the rocks Jutting off Whale island a wide berth and approached the Corvette ledge on its outer end. Just here the fog seemed to have thinned a little, or perhaps the growing strength of solar rays may have rendered It pellucid. As Tom bore down on the debated ground he shot suddenly Into a sort of Semiformal Sweater Is Suggested for Evening I lmtethe kned 'or Tom feared that it might be worth a lot to Sebastien, who would have had ample time by now to get round blood-lustin- The new rinR9 nnd brace sports materials "Stand By for a Ram." mindboat foaming down on him, then, appearevery avoid ful of his need to ance of evil, he shambled to the other his side of the deck and dropped It was his overboard.

Immentioned bull and charging as nor swerved slowed neither petuously, cruiser was d his boat The yawl-rlgge- unity lying broadside on to his 6rvc W. Utah fore-and-a- ft dimension. Before any of the three aboard the anchored vessel could guess Tom's Intention, a nemesis had jurtled from the void. The heavy lauaci, nearly straight of bow and built of solid oak. like many of the boats constructed for fishing or party Jaunting in those rough, waters, crashed head on Into the cruiser pre cisely on her most point, which is plumb amidships, and at the most dangerous angle to the stricken craft, that of ninety degrees. No small craft could receive such a body blow and still swim, unless ahe were built for Arctic exploration and the pressure of Ice. The launch went into the punky tub like a woodsman's ax Into a rotten log. Some few yards before the crash. Tom had called to Robert, "Stand by for a ram." and Robert had obeyed this order Instantly by dropping to a sitting posture with his feet braced against the motor box. Notwithstanding the disparity of weight between a thirty-foo- t open launch and a fifteen-tofishing cruiser, the latter was considerably listed. Tom had rammed her nicely as she rolled away from him on the long low swell, and as she rolled back again she bore the launch's bow down almost awash, so that the propeller churned half in air. like an eggbeater. Tom reversed, and as the cruiser rolled sluggishly away again the launch backed clear. After the first wild diapason of yells, Sebastien and his men were mute. Ilad the collision been an accident, the air would have remained filled with their vociferous abuse. But they knew that it was no accident Also, it was necessary to consider their plans for the Immediate future. The vessel was doomed, the brine pouring Into her through a gap ln which a fat pig could have scratched both sides. Sebastien seemed to take It with the Indian stoicism that was a part of him. He hauled his dory alongside and started to throw the diving gear down Into her, the two men rapidly salving other objects. Lower and lower settled the doomed ship, drawn down with Increasing speed as the gap in her sank deeper and drank more thirstily. The sodden wood ln her could not float the sailing ballast With her decks almost awash Sebastien and his men got aboard the dory and cast off. He did not so much as glance at Tom and Robert Tom's hasty survey showed him that the launch had not suffered greatly. A boat strongly built can withstand a tremendous Impact head on If the object struck gives a little, and the frame and planking of the old cruiser had given a good deal. The launch's bow was badly gouged and splintered, but she still was tight, and the solid lagscrews that held the motor to the oaken bed plates had been equal to the strain, of course, such eventuality being duly considered by the builders. Then, with a lack of demonstration that had something pitiful about it the cruiser went down to its long rest She did this much as an old horse lies down, a lurch forward, another aft, then a grunt and general settlement. A great many hissing bubbles rose, and there formed over the spot a great bland area of peacock hues, oil enough to credit them with a sub, as Robert observed to Tom. It seemed to Tom that Sebastien might have saved his craft If he had wished; keelhauled her and rigged a collision mat But the man seemed indifferent, apathetic, as If he had been hit by a tidal wave or meteorite Instead of a pair of business, rivals in an open launch. The truth of the matter Is that Sebastien was badly scared. He knew what these taciturn Yanks could be like, once they got started, and Tom Impressed him as being well on his way. Sebastien actually expected to be sent down after his boat This certainly would have happened If he had fired on Doctor White and Jessica. In such event it is certain that Tom would have slain him. Even as it was he glared across the water at Sebastien as if mindful to finish his Job. Tom had good reason to feel that way about it Not only was he convinced that the man had Intended to murder Jessica and Doctor White, but the entire situation was Infuriating. Here was Tom out of the running, so far as the winning of any sweepstake was concerned, still smarting from the sharp lesson in good faith read him by Robert, humiliated at the way In which the man of Mlquelon had befooled him, even to the extent of a compulsory nocturnal bath. The red mist had not yet cleared from Tom's vision, any more than It might from that of the fighting bull which having charged and gored the ' wretched crowbalt bestridden by a lurid about with casts eyes picador, for a more Interesting victim. Here was no Jime for abuse. It needed but a whisper, Sebastien thought to start Tom afresh on his devastating career. He could see that Tom was holding himself In leash, asking to be asked, when he would foam down again to smash him and his mates, rip them op, churn them them up with into fish slum, egg-behis screw and generally shatter and stir them Into fine particles suspended ln brine. lip might have carried out this program "without waiting to be invited, had not Doctor White called sharply.
