I tell you he' dead!" Why should Peter be angry because she could not believe this impossible thing? She forced herself to listen to what Peter said when he now began to relate what had happened, telling George, while the others listened. Peter said they came out at last on an open hillside grown with berry bushes. They saw the pond on the saddle of the ridge and a great flock of geese in the pond. "I would have to crawl to get near enough to shoot," Peter said, explaining to them as they listened without speech, Isaiah and Hiram In the door with Corkran behind them, George and Mary at the table. Tommy Hanline had come to stand behind Peter, tears streaking his cheeks. Peter went on with his story of his brother's death. "I'd have to crawl," he said, "on my hands and knees. Richard and Gee stayed where they were, so's not to scare the birds. I crawled within shot range and waited till they lined up good, and shot Some were dead, and some of them flapping on the water. The others flew away. "I stood up and yelled, and Gee came running. We chased the wounded geese in the shallow wa ter, and caught some, till we had eight trtli Williams iMlMMfl mti nTi In M l Itil AMIS BEM bones at a touch. Peter served her and George, and as Mat Forbes joined them he served his own plate and then Mat's. When Corkran Appeared, a little uncertainly, Peter heaped his plate; and he asked in an agreeable tone: Do you know navigation, Mr. Corkran?" "No, sir." "Mr. Forbes can give you a start Better work on it" Peter smiled grimly. "The Venturer's had hard luck with her officers this voyage. Something might happen to me." "Yes, sir," Corkran assented in a toneless voice. Peter looked at him thoughtfully, but he said nothing. There was little speech during that meal. 'Dick was always a hero to me," I Peter said, half to himself. didn't think anything could happen to him. He seemed so strong and sure, and luck was always with him. I almost went crazy, running up and down that beach today." He rose. shaking his head. George and Mary followed him into the common room, and George lay down on the long bench there. It was still broad day in these high latitudes, but the small window gave scant light Peter lighted the whale oil lamps. "I don't like the dark," he said. I'm dreading tonight Probably won't sleep." He decided, after a mome.nt: "I'll go on deck and have a look at her." George lay quietly. Mary stood looking out of the small square win "Then I asked Gee where Richard was. He said Richard had gone down to the beach. I went along the top of the cliff looking for him, and finally I saw him. There was a point of rocks running out into the water, and he was sneaking toward the point as if he was trying to cut something off from the water, thought it might be seals, but couldn't see them. "I saw him start to run, and then I saw them coming toward the wa ter, galloping on their flippers the way they do; but they were sea lions, bigger than seals, some of them ten or twelve feet long. Dick got in the way of them and he hit at one with his club. It snapped at him. I was too far away to see just what happened, but they have long tusks, teeth like a dog's, only long er. It must have sunk the tusks into his hand; and it just galloped on, dragging Richard with it, into the water." "I think one of the tusks stuck in his wrist somehow; maybe wedged between the bones, or hooked into the tendons. He was jerked off his It feet couldn't do anything, dragged him into the water, an they went under together. The place was boiling with them, dozens of thenv, like a school of mackerel. They churned it into foam like milk. Even from lip where I was, I couldn't see down into it "I stayed there, running up and down the beach, shouting and yelling like a crazy man, but I never saw him again." He looked at her steadily, said at last: "Why he didn't give it to me, no. I wanted to go on deck, and it was cold, and Peter gave me Richard's big sea coat to wear over my own. After we got on deck, I put my hands in the pockets, and felt a piece of paper, and before I thought I looked at it It was your letter to Richard, Mary." She spoke quickly. "It began: Dear Richard, Having been capti vated by the charms of your per son The Questions VHILUAMb . . .'?" For answer, he fumbled in his pocket produced a crumpled paper, gave it to her. She smoothed it out, read it swiftly with racing eyes that nevertheless lingered over the fawords. miliar, She smiled as she read. Once these words had seemed to her so impassioned and tender and beautiful that they made her senses swim; and once she had treasured this scrap of paper in her bosom happily. But now even in the tension of this moment she was amused; and she looked up at George in a deep mirth. "You really thought I'd written this to Richard?" "What could I think?" "I mean, since we came aboard here?" "I'm afraid I did," he admitted. "My dear, can you imagine any girl really writing a letter like that; so many long words, so stilted and silly and everything?" g He said, at his own confession: "I've never had a love letter, Mary. I don't know much about them. Didn't you write it?" "Yes, but years ago. My handwriting doesn't even look like that now!" "I've never seen your handwrit ing, you know. We've not been separated, so we've never written let ters to each other." "And it's signed 'Mary Doncas- ter, " she insisted. "Not Mary half-smilin- 0 What is a solecism?
