AH except two oi the crew were abandoning the schooner. When Tucu and Black SS?f,Cam? rd. the lugger, Dick s fear for his own safety was secondary to his dread that some-thing some-thing terrible was about to happen to Rose. "Where's Captain Bedford's daughter?" he demanded sharply. "Where she wanted to be aboard the schooner," replied Tucu. grinning. grin-ning. "She's not going with us?" "No." "Is she alone?" Y've been lyin' t'me." "She's got two o' my men to keep her company, an' that crazy fa ther," leered the half-breed. Dick frowned. The sea was rough and choppy, and the wind blowing half a gale. The threatened storm was rapidly approaching. The schooner was in no condition to weather it Captain Bedford was worse than useless, and the Caribs were indifferent seamen. "Storm's coming, captain," Dick said finally, "and the schooner will go down in it. Why not take the captain and his daughter off? You don't want them to drown." "The hell I don't," snapped the other. "I didn't put 'em there, an' I ain't goin' to take 'em off." "Then will you let me go back to them?" Tucu grinned. "Y're goin' to show me where them smuggled goods was chucked off the steamer, or y're goin to feed the fishes." The man's plan was clear enough now. convinced mere was uuuums of great value aboard the schooner, he had abandoned her until after he had found the smuggled gems. Later, if the storm did not send the schooner to the bottom, he could return and salvage her if she was worth it The gale was stiffening every minute, and the work of getting under un-der way was hurried. With almost bare poles the lugger would have great difficulty in standing up in the wind and rough sea. A giant wave swept the deck. With a yell Dick tried to save himself, but with his arms tied behind his back he was as helpless as a child. He rolled . . c r mA at over and over, aim was the last minute by BiacK oimey. who jerked him back in the nick of time. Once Again Dick Plunges Into Sea "Cut these ropes," Dick spluttered, splut-tered, "and give me a chance. Another An-other wave like that will finish me." Captain Tucu nodded to his mate. "Cut '-em an' take him below." Dick waited his chance. He had definitely decided to trust his life to the sea again and to try to reach the schooner. Better die battling with the elements than sail away with the black pirates. He stood a moment stretching his limbs, and watching the heaving seas. Another An-other wave, smaller than the first but big enough to give him an excuse, ex-cuse, swept over the bow of the lugger and rolled aft When it struck him, he gave another an-other veil, as if calling for help, but instead of resisting the mass of green waters he plunged stratght into them and assisted them to car rying him overboard. Black : B.trU made a grab for him with his long 4 arms, but Dick ducked In time to elude them. Shaking the brine out of his eyes, be began swimming, holding his bead as high out of the water as he could. He made no resistance to the waves, but swam with them, striving to keep on their crests for better observation. A light twinkled twin-kled out of the darkness, but he wasn't sure whether it came from the lugger or the schooner. He conserved his strength as much as possible, swimming easily and treading water every time he was swept on the crest of a wave. From this pinnacle he had a wide glimpse of the sea; but the darkness now shut out everything, and neither nei-ther the lugger nor the schooner was visible. "I've missed it" he groaned once. "I should have been there before this." In the midst of his bitter reflections reflec-tions his hand caught something that startled him. It was a watersoaked ropel His mind nimbly leaped from despair de-spair to to hope. He clutched eagerly eager-ly at the mass of slimy ropes that before had been sea monsters and slippery eels. Now they were life lines flung out to help him. Their continued lashing and twisting were pleasant indications that they were real and substantial He was not dreaming. He began clawing at them, pulling himself from one mass of rigging to another. When his hands came In contact with a floating spaf, and it bobbed up and nearly smashed his face, he laughed in glee instead in-stead of cursing. If he could crawl up the wreckage to the schooner's deck he would be safe. Finally a giant wave carried him clear over the rail and dropped him heavily on the deck where he lay sprawled for some moments, gasping gasp-ing for breath, and groaning from the effects of the terrific struggle. The crests of the surging waves reached him even here, but they no longer had the power to use him as a battering ram. When he finally raised his head and looked around the wave-swept deck, he had a queer feeling that all his efforts had been in vain. The schooner was abandoned, with him as the only living being aboard. A little startled by his discovery, he began crawling in the direction of the cabin. If Rose and her father were aboard he would find them there, for the wet, slippery deck was no place for them, and they could not hope to navigate the derelict dere-lict on such a wild night When he reached the head of the companion, a welcome ray of light came through, the open door of the cabin, bringing joy and relief to his tortured mind. Rose was below with her father, watching, hoping, and praying or stoically awaiting their fate. Dick staggered to his feet and started down the steps; but before he had taken one, sounds of a muffled muf-fled commotion halted him. Craning Cran-ing his head forward, he listened, peering intently through the murky gloom untU his eyes came to a focus fo-cus on something lying half across the threshold. With a little start of surprise, he recognized the body of one of the two Caribs left behind on the schooner. Another Ugly Battle For Rose and Dick A reddish clot of blood in the middle mid-dle of the forehead told where a bul-get bul-get had entered and brought his life to a sudden end. From inside the cabin came the low, shifting sounds of a wordless conflict with the combatants struggling strug-gling back and forth in a deadly embrace, their breath coming in short, wheezy gasps. Dick slipped down the few stes and stood astride the dead Carib. He blinked a moment under the strong light of the swinging cabin lamp before he took in the significance signifi-cance of the scene. The second Carib had disarmed Rose, and with one powerful hand pinning her against the wall he was trying to encircle her waist with his free arm. With a growl of rage, Dick sprang at the brute, catching him by the neck, and with a jerk wrenched his head back. Then looping an arm around the neck he pried the head backward until he could get a strangle nold on the windpipe. The Carib was a big, powerful man, with a head as hard as a battering bat-tering ram, and arms and legs as thick and solid as tree trunks. After Aft-er the first shock of surprise, he struggled to shake his assailant from his back, grunting and blowing blow-ing loudly. Dick's strength had been badly spent in the struggle in the water, and as they rollpd and twisted twist-ed over the cabin floor his own breath came in short, labored gasps. In spite of his advantageous hold, he realized that the Carib might eventually get the better of him. The bull-like neck rose and fell, emitting horrible gurgling sounds, but his strength showed no signs of weakening. The powerful muscles were working slowly and steadily, while Dick's were rapidly weakening weaken-ing under the strain. Then, when it seemed as if his last ounce of strength had been used up. and his burly antagonist was stiW fresh and active, a sudden deadening deaden-ing crash shattered the stillness. (TO BE CONTINUED) WOMAN'S WORLD Two Worn Dresses Of len Yield One Good Wearable Garment j2u rtta J4alen 7 WE'VE a'J had the experience of seeing two worn dresses In the closet one with the top per haps all worn beyond repair, and another dress with a skirt that is out of style or no longer useful. Have you ever thought of, combin ing the wearable portions or eacn dress and making a chic dress from the combination? Yes, it can be done, and with very good results provided you really take the care to mold the two into one complete garment. First of all, you may have several sev-eral dresses as possibilities. For the combination, select two dresses which have a harmonious .color scheme, and what 1 even more important, im-portant, harmonious fabrics. In other oth-er words, don't try to combine a cheap cotton with a rich rayon crepe or a Jersey wih a wool. Here are some combinations which you will find compatible: velvet or velveteen with lace or taffeta; taf-feta; two kinds of rayons, provided the texture doesn't clash; wool with silk or rayon or even taffeta (provided there Isn't too much of the latter); cotton with cotton, wool with wool, etc. It's best not to try to match colors, col-ors, since this Is really too difficult, diffi-cult, but rather to strive for a good contrast If the dresses simply don't go together, you might try dyeing one of them to contrast with the color of the first one. Always select the easiest one to dye for the Job. Speaking of things that harmonize har-monize or contrast well, you might very well try combining a print with a solid color, or a plaid with plain, etc., as these offer lnterest- Two old dresses can mate . . , lng combinations, And If the print does not match the solid, it often can be dyed so that the shade will contrast well, without ruining the print. Hints on Combining Two Dresses Properly No combination of two-dresses-into-one will be successful unless you do the combining completely. First of all, the dresses must be either washed or cleaned oroDerlv Every piece of the garment must be pressed carefully so that it can then be re-cut and sewed properly just as though it were new fab ric. To remove any lines or stitches left on the garment after ripping, press with a damp cloth under the iron. Be sure to remove any small pieces of thread by pulling them away from the garment. A pattern can be of great help In putting together a dress of this type as many of them show how to combine two fabrics cleverlv Many fashions are adaptable to re modeling of this type, and it won't be hard to put the garment together if you have a guide. Don't waste work by trying to reclaim re-claim garments that do not have material worth sewing on.- If you One new, smart one. find just one dress that's good enough to remodel, then buy enough material to go with it instead of using material that is already too worn. Secrets of Combining Dresses Smartly To give you some help In selecting dresses that really go together, to-gether, I'm going to give some concrete con-crete ideas that have worked and may be useful to you. Look for the side fringe on slim skirts this season. It's very new. And gray flannel skirts are a must can be worn with anything. Incidentally, sweaters are being worn inside skirts more often than out Responsible for this is the passing of the "sloppy joe" sweater, sweat-er, and also the new belts which add nice tailored touches to the costume. Fashion Forecast Dressmaher Sleeves i K" i Molly uses the Norfolk silhouette silhou-ette with dressmaker sleeves and a, wide tarn-back collar In this suit of gray gabardine. Note the well-tailored detail and button Interest. In-terest. Let's say that you have a plaid dress and a plain one and fabrics and colors harmonize. You might make the skirt and sleeves from the plaid with a bodice that extends ex-tends below the waistline of the plain material. Or, if you're shy on the plaid material, just reverse the pro cedure and make a bodice of the plaid with a yoke, sleeves and skirt of the plain material. Another interesting combination seen recently was a skirt made of velvet or velveten with a peplumed bodice of a plaid taffeta. To add interest to this rather simple costume, the cuffs and the collar of the dress were made very chic with generous amounts of material. One of the simplest ways of remodeling re-modeling two garments into one, especially if the usable material of one garment is rather on the slim side, is to make a yoke and sleeves or just ' yoke of the one dress while the remainder of the garment is in the other material. If you can make only a simple dress of one material, say the reclaimed re-claimed wool, then make the outfit out-fit smart by making a jacket long or short whichever you look best in from the velvet or velveteen you have on hand. This latter might be salvaged from an old evening gown or dinner dress, or formal street dress which is now out-of-date. Guarding Your Woolens Dry cleaning is preferable for cleaning most woolens as it preserves pre-serves the nap, but many knit garments, flannels and challies wash well with tepid water and a mild soap. Avoid rubbing as this gets the fibers out of place. Hot water and strong soaps are taboo; so are clorine bleaches. Mend woolens before washing them or the holes will easily stretch larger by the washing procedure. If blankets show strains of yanking and pulling (because they weren't long enough to begin be-gin with) place a strip of cloth at top or bottom or around all sides before the blanket is ruined. Satin ribbon or binding is well used in this case. Never iron wool with a hot iron. Follow the guide on your Iron if you have one of this type. It's always a good idea to use a damp cloth over the wool when ironing, both to prevent scorching scorch-ing and also to give the fabric a nicer, softer finish. . Sandals for lounging still show very definite effects of Greek inspiration. in-spiration. There are lots of straps and grace to them, and the colors are an Inspiration to see. Stripes have not passed along with summer. They are here to stay in the soft lightweight woolens that make up such nice tailored dresses for business, shopping or school. ' 1 V fsvt! i ' I ' V !
