The day was fair, and for the season early spring in these latitudes mild enough; the wind light Mary saw broad streaks of yellowish red upon the water to starboard where the great schools of brit were near the surface; and a moment later a black back showed and twin spouts rose straight as fountains. Richard himself was in the main rigging, watching the whales now so near the ship that voices aboard were hushed and whispering. "Mr. Forbes, you play loose boat and itay clear," he directed. "The mate and I will fasten if we can. Tommy, go aloft and keep your eye peeled if they sound. Ready the backed off. the sail and mast came down. R,chard and Big Pip were changmg ends.

Peter said, to no one in particu-lar: "Where's Feik?" Without wait-ing for an answer, he dropped down into the after 'tween decks to find him. A moment later he came on deck again. "He's sick, Dick," he said. "Corkran will take Feik's place. Mr. Forbes, lend Borst to the mate's boat. You can manage without him," replied Richard. Peter protested: "Blast it, Dick, I don't want to tackle a whale with a green man." "I think Corkran knows his busi-ness," Richard said curtly. "Low-er away." He turned toward the boats, not waiting for any further word; but George moved quickly toward him, caught his arm. "Cap'n, may I go with Mr. Forbes?" Richard looked down at him, grinned and clapped George on the steering oar. leaning on, making the boat swerve toward the fighting whale. Mat Forbes, well away from them, was racing toward the fight Peter's boat shot in alongside the black bulk. She saw Corkran In the bow erect the harpoon ready. She had an Instant's pride in Pe-ter. This time at least he had not failed! Then she saw Corkran drive home one iron and then another. Mary saw then that Corkran was In fact lancing, his shoulders pivot-ing like a boxer's as he drove the keen shaft home.

Mary watched the men In the water. Mat'i boat reached them and began to pick them up, pulling man after man over the side. All of them. Saved! A great relief swept her; and she held hard to Isaiah's arm. Isaiah said disgustedly: "Blast! That whale's sunk." Her eye swept the water in all directions and saw nowhere a spout, no glistening back, nothing but Mat's boat yonder now full of men, and Peter's bobbing on an empty sea. "Corkran went In too high with that lance," Isaiah said, and spat. "Can't blame him. He had to work fast But he went In over the shoul-der blade. Right whale's got an air bladder same as a fish.' You let the air out and down it goes. He looked at her sidewise. "There's times I talk more'n I'd ought to," he admitted awkwardly. "Like telling you about the mate not being Cap'n Ira's son. Richard told me not to. and he'd give me fits if he found out I did; but it's so. Cap'n Ira married a widow wom-an, and the mate was her young 'un. She wouldn't marry him only if he'd tell folks Pete was his. They kep' anybody from knowing, some-how." He added: "But I'd oughtn't to've told you. I was kind of worked up at Pete for trying to get out of lowering." She said reassuringly: "I won't tell anyone. It's not our business, is it Does Peter know?" "He ain't supposed to." He cack-led with a relish. "It's going to be some supprise to that young smelt when he hears the will read out. I'd admire to be there to see." The boats were near; and they moved to the rail. Mat was ahead, Peter some distance behind, tow-ing the stove boat; and Peter was f ook his head. "1 guess I'm I What was in the letter?

"Go ahead, man," he agreed. "Mr. Forbes, mind you keep clear." And a moment later the three boats were in the water. Mary from the rail above them called softly down: "Good luck, George!" George grinned happily; and Corkran, bending the tub line to the box warp, looked up at her and nodded in a cheerful reassurance. The boats stepped their masts and under sail crossed the Venturer's bow. Richard took the lead, Peter close behind him, Mat Forbes bear-ing away beyond them to keep clear.

Isaiah exploded scornfully: "Why wouldn't they be?" "Well, after all, they're brothers. "Act like brothers, do they?" he demanded. She turned to him In astonishment, and he said trium-phantly: "Well, they ain't!" "You mean, not at all?" "Not a mite!" he assured her. "But-t- hey must be!" She was wholly bewildered; and her incredu-lity, working on his anger, drove him to a loquacity he would regret. He said stubbornly: "Must be or not, they ain't Cap'n Ira'd ought to know! Here the night he died. Ira told Richard that Pete wa'n't even his own son! Me and Hiram was there and heard him. he'd heir ev-erything, Old Ira told Richard only a dollar to Pete." Realizing he had said too much, the water; said: he pointed across "The boats will be on 'em in a min-ute now." Mary turning to look, found her-self shocked and confused by this in-credible intelligence; but as the dis-tance between boats and whales nar-rowed, she forgot what Isaiah had of the immi-nent said in the excitement encounter. Mary saw Big Pip m the bow of Richard's boat half a mile away drive home a harpoon. CHAPTER XH1 She thought for a moment then 'that PiD had harpooned not one whale but. dozen. The great fluke, rose and whipped from side to side with terrible rapidity. The boat standing up, using the long steering oar instead of the tiller which he might sensibly have preferred for this peaceful return to the ship. Richard faced forward, and he seemed to droop in a discouraged, broken fashion. Mary lifted her hand and called to them, a greeting with-out words. The boat came along-side, and she called: "Was it fun, George? Are you hurt, Richard?" George grinned happily, and Rich-ard shook his head. "I'm all right. Sassnet's ankle's twisted. The flukes just ticked me on the arm. But if it hadn't been for Peter It would have been bad. The whale was ugly." Vet she saw then that he was more seriously hurt than he had said. He was needing help to reach the deck. His left arm appeared to be of little use to him; and he was white with pain. Mat said: "You'd best get into some dry clothes and see how bad that arm is." Richard nodded and went aft, and Mary looked after him. wishing to follow him; but George was beside her, flushed, full of talk, trembling with th-- excitement of the past few minutes. She heard him telling hei what he had seen, and tried to lis-ten, and caught broken phrases. "One so near we could have hit him with our oars . . . Peter didn'l hesitate this time." And then she heard him say: "Losing his boat will make Richard a little more hu-man Not quite so sure of himself.' She wished to say loyally that at, accident might happen to anyone; but instead she spoke of Peter. I rr glad Peter killed the whale.

T F RALPH MURPHY, Para- - mount director, needed to make a little extra money he could write a book entitled "Ten Lessons on How to Catch a Man" and the shekels would roll in. Here's what he has to say about it. (He's a graduate of Syracuse university, has been a stage and motion picture actor, producer and director for years, so he's qualified to talk.) "I have three girls In 'Las Vegas Nights.' Each would use a differ- - t! Ml 'i ent technique. Each technique would re-quire eight reels to fold. So I let Con-stance Moore get her man with the direc-t- approach tech-nique. I give Vir-ginia Dale a man before the picture starts, and I leave Lillian Cornell out on a limb with nary Constance maIe ta tl&M-- Moore "rhe allure tech" nique is used By a woman conscious of the fact that she has an enormous amount of feminine appeal for men a screen example would be Hedy Lamarr. Flattery Is used by women ranging from the baby-tal- k girls to the moth-ering type. There's the girl who gives the Impression that she's help-- 1 n c a ' man want in ctonH Hotuanri her and the world Bonnie Baker's an example. "There's the girl who uses the di-rect approach; spots the man she wants ana manes no bones about it; she's a good sport, a play-mate, and picks a man with the same characteristics. Bar-bara Stanwyck's a screen example. And the coquette, whose eyes say 'if you chase me I'll run but not too far.' Like Virginia Dale on the screen. Virginia Dale "Then there's the one who is not brilliant and not dull, not beautiful and not homely; every girl asks 'What's she got?' The answer is "She's got the man that a lot of other girls wanted.' " Some other girl may have Errol Flynn for a husband now; Olivia de Haviland's married him five times on the screen and when she fin-ished "Santa Fe Trail" she fled to the equally ardent arms of James Cagney, In "Strawberry Blonde." She was a little dubious about it: after all, Cagncy's had a bad movie reputation where women were con-cerned since he squashed that grapefruit In a lady's face. But Olivia is safe in this one he's cast as a belligerent dentist who gets into plenty of fights, but all with men. Twenty-fou- r of the show girls in "Ziegfeld Girl" voted for their fa-vorite movie actress the other day. Vivian Leigh got eight votes, and Bette Davis and Greta Garbo each got five. But Judy Garland, Lana Turner and Hedy Lamarr couldn't be voted for. They're In the picture. Billy the Kid has finally joined the side of law and order. It happened recently near Tucson, Ariz., where Robert Taylor was made a deputy sheriff of Pima county. Taylor plays fact.cknntincr Hpfinprflrirt nf thp 1870s in Metro's picture, "Billy the Kid," which was on location in the Southwest at the time Taylor took over his duties.

Burgess Meredith rarely wears a hat, but he's exceptionally well pro-vided with places to hang one. At present he has four homes. (1) His farmhouse in Rockland county, N. Y. (2) Jimmy Stewart's bachelor establishment In Brent-wood, where he has stayed on his previous Hollywood sojourns. (3) The house In West Los Angeles which belongs to Wayne Morris, which he and Franchot Tone rent; it's known as Annex No. 1 to Stew-art's abode. (4) A small beach house which he rented at Santa Monica, called Annex No. 2 he took it with the idea of week-endin- g there, but so far has been so busy that he's hardly seen it But he has hopes, now that he's completing his work in United Artists' "That Uncertain Feeling." ODDS ASD ENDS Mr. and Mrs. Robert Hart in Honolulu listened to radio's "Hilltop House" last year, and liked the story and its star, Bess John-son, so much that they named their home for the serial. Recently Miss Johnson learned that all her Hawaiian Islands' mail is being delivered to the Harts! . . . For the betterment of n relations.

Quite Obvious "Isn't that new frock you've on?" "Yes; I got it for a ridiculous figure" "Oh, I can see thatl" In the Name of Safety "What's making you so angry?" "Nothing much. I cut myself with a Bafety razor, burned my-self with a safety match, and nearly got run over while reading a safety-firs- t notice." Beginner Didnt Want Possibility to Be Wasted The instructor was teaching the awkward fellow to drive a car. "Put out your left hand to sig-nal. Then with your left foot step in the clutch. With your right hand put the gearshift into first. Gradually ease up on the clutch, accelerating with your right foot. "When the car has gathered speed, again step in the clutch, shifting with the right hand to sec-ond. Then with the left foot slowly let out the clutch, accelerating with the right foot. Then repeat to shift to high speed. Keep your eyes on the road ahead." "There's nothing useful I could do with my nose, is there?" in-quired the beginner.
