"I shouldn't care to wander through that rock pasture myself when the weather's so thick that you can eat it with a spoon." "All the more reason for my going down, Gardy," said Jessica, sipping hot coffee and nibbling at a ship's biscuit "It's too bitter cold, Jessica. Walt until this afternoon.

The efTect of It was weird, yet extremely reassuring to the doctor, because It signaled the rigorous movements of the diver. Doctor Whits could see the dark mass that was described by this radiance, but the abundant growth of submarine vegetation masked Its character. At the end of fifty seconds that seemed tike as many minutes, the doctor was about to give an admonitory tug oa the line, when the light was quenched suddenly. At th same instant he discovered Jessica coming up with speed. She bobbed out of the water bosom high, expelled the exhausted air from her lungs, refreshed them with a gasp or two, then laughed. But even in his relief at her reappearance Doctor White observed that she was clear of the line, and that Its trend was downward at an angle. "Are you all right Jessica he asked. She nodded.

The tide was almost at the last of the ebb, with scarcely any current Jessica, following the rough outline of the shore, pulled vigorously around to the corner of the Island from which the Corvette ledge put out, when getting a bearing over the stern of the boat she rowed out into the fog, now whitening as the growing day Illumined It.

She slanted her head. "Listen there's a boat" "Oh, never mind the boat They'rs passing all the time. Climb in." The doctor dropped down on a thwart, shoving himself against the other side to balance her. Jessica, with a downward thrust of her strong round arms, raised herself across the gunwale and backward to the thwart, then swung her legs in after her. Then all at once she seemed to petrify, staring into the gray fog that had thinned a bit. "Look, Gardy I' she gasped in unmistakable alarm, paling visibly. Doctor White glanced over his shoulder, vexedly. This would be the diver from Friendship, who had preferred to wait for daylight before starting round Pemaquld point. The doctor wished that the man had come a little earlier or a little later. It annoyed him to be found apparently In the act of employing his beautiful ward, Capt Warren Poole's daughter, as one might make use of a Kanaka pearl diver. Doctor White was annoyed at the Interruption. But as his experienced eye swept over the details of the boat assembling out of the fog, this momentary vexation gave place to astonHere was ished chagrin, to dismay. not their belated diver, nor even the De Corlays, nor Tom. It was a heavy cruiser. As It forged slowly down on them, swinging off a little, the doctor discovered a small French flag flying from the mlzzen truck. The significance of this was very evident. No boat bailing from a neighboring French possession, especially Miqueion Island, of which the comnow deeply Interested the merce United States revenue service, was going to advertise her nationality unless she felt herself to be a virtuous craft and entitled to the protection of her flag. This could be no other than that Sehastien, described as a scoundrel by Jessica and Robert and now come to have a go at the Fourquet! her. Doctor White leaned over the gunwale of the boat, paying out the line and trying vainly to follow with his vision the downward course of the white I! nibs.

Then suddenly they found themselves over a great mass of the algae that Jessica had mentioned. This will float when detached, and the current having now stopped running, the big flat rubbery elephant ears were spread out Just beneath the surface. Anchored by the tips of their long, tenuous tails, these sleek brown spatulate fronds were swinging and swaying with undulations of their lateral flukes, scalloped along the edges and seeming to be possessed of a crawling movement There were always vagrant eddies over the reef and the stirring of them now set the units of this mass of vegetation to oscillating in different directions, so that the whole, as one looked down upon It, suggested nothing so much as a mammotlf school of stlngarees nosing about In quest of bait.
