He was working frantically at the engine. The inland sea still heaved, but It was beginning to subside as the monsters, forgetful of Clouts mouth organ, began to draw toward the submarine again. Then, for t lie third time, the iiu- prisoned queen grave the swarming call. The sound, suit, jet incredibly volu- minims, rolled from tlu interior of the slitp and seemed to fill the universe, ft was like a deep, soft note upon some mighty organ.

For the third time the swarm, mad denial by the call, leaped toward its leader, Aud, us on Fair Island, a tidal bore came on, 'a wall of water w hich struck the FY and rendered her help- less in ah instant. It dashed her round like a top, it drove her, uncontrollable, before It. In an instant the steering gear was disabled, and the vessel skidded through the waves toward the r liffs of the fjord, which grow larger with unbelievable swiftness. It was tlie last voyage of the FTi. The buttered old submarine which had rendered such yeoman service, drove hard on the 'rocks. A needle point pierced, her amidships, a score of razor edges rent her flanks.. Slowly she sank, still spinning, Into the seething waters that whipped the desolate shore. As soon as they realized .that noth- ing could he done, the three had gathered upon the deck and waited for the disaster. As the F.Yi struck they leaped into the sea. They escaped the hidden fangs of the rocks almost by a miracle. A few strokes, and Donald found himself upon the, shore, which the waves were wildly lashing, and helping Davies to scramble out. They gasped it moment and recovered their breath. Where's Clouts?" asked Donald anxiously, Then they saw the sailor's head bing among the waves.
