He left me hastily as though a trifle ashamed I thought he seemed depressed, even a kittle furtive, and yet on analysis I cOuld discover nothing definite on which to base such a conclusion. ; er Darrow, said I, .theres one thing youve overlooked. You forgot to bring a cupola and a gilt weathercock for this concern. After the laboratory was completed we put up sleeping quarters for the two men, with wide porphes well screened, and a square, heavy storeroom. By the end of the third week we had quite finished. Dr. .Sehermerhorn had turned with enthus- . iasm to the unpacking of his chemical apparatus. i Almost immediately at the close of the freight carrying he had appeared,lugging his precious chest, this time suffering the assistance of Darrow, and had camped on the spot. We could not induce him to leave, so we put Darrow remained with up a tent for ham. hint by way of safety' against the men. "whose pleasure. I believe, he had taken. Now that all the work was finished, the doctor put in a sudden appearance. Percy, said e, now we will have the CHAPTER XIV. ' i - , After a mile of this the bottom ran up near-Jto the level of the sides, and we stepped out on the floor of a little valley almost surrounded by more hills. It was an extraordinary place, and, since much happened there, I must give you an idea v. t y of it. and nearly encircled by naked Prom its floor came steam and a roaring hills. sound. The steam blew here and there among tile pints on the floor; rose to eddy about the naked painted hills. At one end we saw inIt was round termittently a broad ascending canyon, deep red and blue black, ending in the cone of a smoking volcano. The other seemed quite closed by the sheer hills. In fact, the only exit was the route by which we had come. For th hills were utterly precipitous. I sup-poa man might have made his way up to the various knobs, ledges and inequalities, but it would have required long study and a careful head. I myself. later worked my way a short distance merely to examine the texture of thirmarvelous color. This as at once varied and of great body, not at all like the smooth, glossed color of most rock, but soft and rich. Youve seen painters palettes.Itjwas just like that, pasty Ind fat." There were' reds of alFshades,' from a veritable scarlet to a relxm'ber; greens, from sea green to emerald; several kinds of blue and an indeterminate purplejnauve. The whole effect was splendid and barbaric. We stopped and gasped as it hit our eyes. Darrow. atony' was unmoved. He led the 'way furw ard and in'an instant-- ha disappeared a behind the veil of steam, Thrackles and hung back murmuring, but at a sharp word from me gathered their courage in fheir( two hands and proceeded. We found that the first veil of steam and a fearful stench of gases proceeded from a miniature crater whose 'edge was heavily u ith a w'hite salt. Beyond, close under the rise of the hill, was another. Between the two Percy Darrow had stopped and was waiting. He eyed us with a half lazy, half quizzical glance as we approached.

You and the men are to cut a numher of these pine trees for a house. Better pick out the little ones, about three or four inches through. Theyre easier to handle. Ill be back by noon. We set to work then in the roaring, steaming valley with the vapor swirling about us, sometimes concealing us, sometimes half us gigantic, again in the utterness of dwindled pygmies us exposure showing against the magnitudes abdut us. The labor nas not difficult. By the time Harrow we had a pile of the saplings ready for Ins next direction. He was accompanied by the nigger, very nuvh terrified, very muck burdened, with food an 1 cooking utensils. The assistant was lazily relating tales of vck&oos, a glimmer o. se with him to the narrow part of the arroyo just before, it rose to the level of the valley. ITie re we will build the stockade defense, he announced. Darrow and I stared at eaeli other blankly. What for, sir? inquired, the assistant. announced I haf come to be undisturbed, Teutonic gravity, the doctor, with owl-likand I will not be disturbed. Darrow nodded to me and drew his principal aside. They conversed earnestly for several minutes. Then the assistant returned to v me. No use, to" KifP indifferent manner. ' istocKaae u is.

We built the stockade in a day. When it was finished, we marched to the beach, and never save in the three instances of which I shall later tell you did I seethe valley agam.

In njy fatigue it seemed hardly worth thinking about. The men had rolled , themselves in their blankets, tired with the long day. Next morning Captain Selover was ashore early, lie had quite recovered his spirits and offered me a dram of French brfindy, which I refused. We worked hard again. Again the master returned at night to his vessel, this time without a word to any of us. Again the men, dragged by toil, turned in early and slept like the dead. We became entangled in a mesh of days like these, during whieh things were accomplished but in which was no space for anything but the tasks imposed upon us. The men for the most part had little to say. " Ppr Dios, eet is too mooch work ! sighed Ierdosa once,. Why dont you kick to the old man, then? sneered Thrackles. The silence that followed and the sullenness with' which Pcrdosa readdressed himself to his work was significant enough of Captain Selover s past relations with the men. And how we did clean her. We stripped her of every stitch and sliver until she floated high, an empty hull, even her spars and runnings rigging ashore. I understood now the crews grumbling. We literally went at her with a nailbrush. p Selover took charge of us when we Captain -had reached this period. He and the nigger and Perdosa had long since finished the installation of the" permanent crmp. They had kuit us huts from the wreck, collecting stateroom doors for the sides and hatches for the roofs, huge and solid, with iron rings in them.
