CHAPTER XXII. 15 The Crew Decides. Except that niunjr of the men remained anned there was no suggestion of violence. But for the gleaming trained on the main hatch, and the email group of gunners clustered about it, the scene was peaceable enough, resembling the deck of some merchant ship. LeVere stood motionless at the poop rail, sturlng down and his attitude and expression of face aroused within me a doubt of the man, a determination to put him to the test Evidently he had held aloof und refrained from taking even the slightest part In our activities. The men themselves were mostly forward, grouped together and still excitedly discussing the situation. Stand by to reef topsails, I shouted. Were all one watch now. Go at it lively, lads, and when the job la over well eat and decide together .what's our next move. Two of you will be enough to guard the hatch and one of you go Into the cabin and relieve the girl there. Keep your eyes open. Ill be down presently. Aloft with you and see how quick a Job you can make of It" Watkins led the way up the mainmast ratlines, and Cole was first Into the fore shrouds, the others following eagerly. I watched them lay out on the yards and was heartened to bear the fellows sing as they worked, the canvas melting away as If by magic. 1 climbed the ladder to where LeVere stood on the poop, but carefully Ignored his presence, my gaxe on the scene aloft Twice I gave orders, changing the steering direction slightly, and commanding the lower sails reefed. The mulutto scowling, joined me at the rail. What's all this about?" he asked. That's no storm cloud yonder. There is always danger In fog, 1 answered coldly, and besides there Is no use carrying on until we know where we are bound. My purpose Is to keep the men busy, and then talk the situation over with them. Have you any criticism of this plan, Senor car-rona- Is safe enough to leave him undisturbed at present The first thing I need to do Is to satisfy those men. J'H attend to that now, und then see to the proper securing of Sanches. Remain here with LeVere while I go forward, and watch that he does not to go below. The fellows had not' finished mess, but I felt the danger of further delay, and talked to them as they sat on deck, explaining briefly the entire situation, and the causes leading up to the mutiny. I dealt with the matter In plain terms, making no apparent effort to Influence them, yet forcibly compelling each Individual to realise what would be the result of our recupture. They listened earnestly, asking an occasional question, and passing comments back and forth freely among themselves. I sent Watkins to the cabin for a roll of charts, and spreading these out, endeavored as well as I could, to make dear our probable position and the nearest point of land. When I had completed the explanation, and stood before them awaiting decision, It was Haines who acted as their spokesman. "This yere la Cape Howarth?" he asked, a grimy thumb on the point Indicated. An yer say It's 'bout a hundred and fifty miles west? Yes, about that? An' thnr's no settlement?" ' Some colonists fifty miles north Is all." That's bout right He turned to the others. Say mates, this Is how I figure. We can't go on no long cruise with all those bloody rats In the hold. Theyre bound ter find some way out If we give em time 'trough. Fer as I'm concerned, I'm fer dividin' up whut we've got, and ter hell with piratin. What 'er yer say, mates? Shall we run the ol' hooker ashore, an leave her thar, while we tramp the coast? Were just a shipwrecked crew. What say yer? There was a chorus of approval sufficient in volume to satisfy me, and I accepted this as a decision. In All right, lads, I said briefly. my Judgment your choice Is a wise pt LjVerer He hesitated, but his eyes were nar- rowed, and ugly. Youll do as you please, but you told me we sailed for Porto Grande. Was that a lie?" Not necessarily, and I smiled grimly. Although I should not have hesitated to tell one under the circumstances. I mean to leave that decision to the men themselves. It Is their lives that are In danger." That scum I half of them are English and French. All they wunt la to get away; they will never go back to Porto Grande without you make them. ' How make them?" By false observations; there Is no navigator forward. It Is a trick easy enough to play with a little nerve. I would never have taken part in this mutiny If I had supposed you meant to play into the hands of the men. It Is very little part you took Senor LeVere, judging from what I saw. You seemed quite content to stand aft here and look on. However you are In It just as deeply as I am, and are going to play the game out with me to the end. Do you understand that?" What you mean, senor play It out? Go on with the rest of us; take your chance with the men and do your duty. 4 I am captain here. The first sign of treachery on your part will send you below with those others. I don't trust you, and all I want Is on excuse to put you out of the way so be careful what you do. I turned and walked awuy from him toward the forward rail. The men were Bttll aloft but coming In from off the yards. Below me In the door of the companion, stood Dorothy, her eyes peering curiously about the deserted deck. She glanced up and saw me. May I come up there?" she asked. "Certainly; let me help you. Stand here beside me, and you can see all that Is being done. That's all, lnds; breakfast is ready; lay down all except the lookout. We watched while they streamed down the ratlines and gathered forward of the galley, squatting in groups on the deck. To all appearances the fellows had not a care In the world, or any thought of the stirring scenes just passed through. The girls hand touched my sleeve, and I turned and looked Into her face. Have you considered Captain Sanches? she asked. Why no, In surprise, "he is helpless below, badly wounded. Not so bndly as you suppose, she said swiftly. I!e Is able to be up and about his stateroom. I heard him moving; and I believe the stewnrd lias told him what has occurred on board, and endeavored to lienr a message from him to those men amidships. I held iny pistol to bis head and locked him In the pantry, lie Is 'there now, with the sailor you sent on guard. That Is what I came on deck to tell you." He Is n danger, of course, hut uot a serious one. I said confidently. It dml. Then there was but one to sue-pee- t Sanches I I flung open the pantry door, bnt one glance Inside told me that Gunsaules had vanished. On the deck lay the strands of rope With which he had been secured they had been severed by a sliurp knife, the ends discolored with blood stains. I held these out to Sdoxen Watkins. Cut since the murder, I sold, and by the same knife. What do you make of it, Tom?" Well, sir, tlie thing he'd most likely try fer wud be ter release them lads amidships. My Idea Is, sir, he thought he'd have time ter git the bulkhead door open, before anybody cum below he an the steward, whod know whar the tools wus. That wus the scheme, only we busted In too quick. Thats whar they both are skulkin back lu them shadows. He fitted the smoking lantern back onto the shelf to have his hands free for action, and drew a cutlass out of the arm rack, running one leatlierly thumb along the blade to test Its shurpness. His eyes sought mine ques-tionlngl- Probably your guess Is the right I said soberly. We'll give it a trial." Murder had been committed for a purpose It was the first step In an effort to retake the ship. If we were to retain our advantage there was no time to be lost; we were pitted now agulnst Silva Sandies, and he was a leader not to be despised or temporised with ; no cowardly, brainless fool. The passage leading forward was wide enough to permit of our advancing together and for a few steps the light dribbled in past us, quite sufficient for guidance. I had been down' this tunnel once before, and knew the bulkhead was not far away, but the few steps necessary plunged us Into profound blackness, through which we advanced cautiously with outstretched hands. ' No slightest sound warned of danger and I was already convinced In my own mind that the refugees were not hiding there, when it happened. Within an Instant we were fighting for our lives, fronted not by two men, but by a score, who flung themselves cursing upon us. Their very numbers gnd the narrowness of the passage was our only salvation. At first our resistance was blind enough, guided only by the senses of touch and sound. We could see nothing of our antagonists, although their fierce rush hurled us backward. I fired Into the mass, as Watkins slashed madly with his cutlass, both managing In some way to keep our feet. Hands gripped for us, a bedlam of oaths splitting the sir; one, The time will soon be here for those exciting and fascinating excursions to the millinery shop lu search of new millinery, of which much Is expected. The old millinery axiom that a list Is becoming when one looks better with It on than without It, is a good thing to bear In mind. At the very least we expect hats, like mirrors, to be to our faults a little blind, and to our virtues not unkind. Just how much the right shape and the right colors can do to transform a face, Is measured often by the long price which a small bit of millinery commands. It Is the Intangible in millinery that Is worth more than anything else the color the beautifully balanced harmony, lines, the poise of the hat on the head and Its appropriateness, that are worth more than mere material. No one understands this quite so well as the woman who has reached middle life, or passed It. She expects her hats to do much for her In the way of enhancing her good points, and designers . who specialise successfully In headwear for matrons turn fabrics One of their promising Into gold. new models Is shown at the right of the group of three hats pictured above. Is made of hluck satin and the top of the crown Is soft Narrow, 'itoped silk fringe, very brilliantly black, makes a wide Irregular bnnd nlrout the crown and there Is a nurrow brim with lines that flow In easy curves ubnut the head. The hat at the left, for a girl of ten or more, makes a picture on the head Hint boasts soft curls. Its crown Is of felt In sections Joined In seams that are outlined with stitches of wool yarn and the rolling brim Is also of yurn, apparently crocheted luto shape. At the base of each seam In the crown a pair of. pert little leaves support a diminutive apple. Almost nny little girl will look well In this picturesque hat. The hat at the bottom of the picture, made for a young woman. Is a dressy, affair of silver tissue with an odd trimming twining about the crown. The trimming Is likely to be made of twisted rlhlion with a fancy edge, but might be of silver tissue or georgette. The maker of trimmings Is no respecter of fabrics; taking anything that is within reach and fashioning' It. Into something new and strange and nearly always beautiful. li- - AMERICAN MADE UNDERMUSLINS The Stricken Sailor Told the Whole Story.

Carter, gfiard this after deck until Wntklns and I come buck. Under no circumstances permit LeVere to enter the culiln. With the door closed, we were plunged Into a darkness which rendered the Interior invisible. I wondered dimly why the man on guard had not lighted the swinging lunteru. I stumbled over something on the deck, ns I groped forward, Imt did not pause until I had lighted the lantern. .It biased up brightly enough. Its yellow flume Illuminating the cabin mid the first thing I suw was the outstretched figure of the sailor almost hetween my feet.. We needed to ask no questions, imagine nothing the overturned chair, the stricken sailor told the whole story. He had been treacherously stuck from behind, the blade driven home oy a strong hand, and was dead before he fell to the deck. It had been silent, vengeful murder, and the assassin had left no trace. Who could It have been? Not Gunsaules surely the steward lacked both nerve and strength for such a ' Mends Granite Ware. The government suggests we economise on kitchen utensils.

Hie SUMMER 8ALADWITH DRESSINGS yet, even In that moment of pandemonium, I was quick to realize Hie fellows were weaponless, seeking only to reach and crush us with bare hands. The same discovery must have come to the mind of the sailor, for he yelled it out defiantly, every stroke of his blade drawing blood. I joined him, striking with the butt of the pistol. We killed and wounded, the curses of hate changed Into sharp cries of agony, but those behind pressed the advance forward, and we were Inevitably swept back Into the light of the cabin lamp. Then I saw faces, hideous in the glare, demoniacal In their expression of hatred a mass of them, unrecognisn able, largely of a wild, a bearded and there here with type, d ; white. Nor were they all In many a grip flashed a knife, and directly fronting me, with a meat cleaver uplifted to strike, Ranches yelled his orders.

It was like no fighting ever I had done before, a mad. furious melee, amid which 1 lost ull consciousness of action, all guidance of thought, straggling ns a wild brute, with all the reckless strength of Insanity. It Is a dim, vague recollection; I am sure I felled Sanches with one blow of iny pistol butt; In some way that deadly cleaver came Into my hands and I trod, on his body, swinging the sharp blade with all my might Into those scowling faces. They gave sullenly backward; they had to, yelping and snarling like a pack of wolves, hacking nt inn with their short knives. I was cut again and again. I stood on quivering flesh, erased with blood, and seeking only to kill. I saw faces crushed in, arms severed, the sudden spurting of blond from ghastly wounds. Oaths mingled with cries of ngotiv and shouts of hate.
