Willie Leeper in his galley, and Mat and Rannels and Mary on deck to watch the boats depart! Rannels, like the other harpoon-- ' ers, was by the etiquette of the ship restricted in his movements, forbidden to come to the after house except on business. So while the boats moved away from the vessels side, he stood alone In the waist. Mary and Mat were together by the rail just forward of the after house. They saw the boats land and saw the men haul them high and dry. It occurred to Mat to Inspect Peter's irons. He called to the "Take a look pt Gee, Rannels. The other man went obediently toward the tojee hatch, and Mat- descended into the cabin with Mary. He slid back the bolt on the door between the common room and the main cabin Peter sat there at the table, his hands in front of him, the irons on7 his wrists passed through the loo of chain around the mizzen; and he met Mats eyes, but he did not speak. Mat closed jhe door and bolted it again. When he turned, Mary stood In the doorway of the Captain's cabin; and George was on his feet inside the cabin, facing her, and coughing a little. Mat Forbes felt rather than saw a shadow pass along the skylight over his head. He looked up sharply at the skylight, too late to see anything; and then he took. the revolver out of .his belt and cocked it and stepped quickly toward the companionway. He started to ascend. Mary came to the foot of the companionway; and his feet were level with her shoulders, his head just emerging from the companion, when she heard the crack of the smashing blow that felled him. The revolver, without being discharged, dropped out of his hand and clattered down to her feet. Mat slumped forward limply on his face, lis body sprawling on the deck, his legs hanging down the companion-waRannels shouted something; and she looked up and saw the his face red with excitement, grab Mat by the collar. Mary snatched the revolver from the floor; but Rannels hauled Mat out of sight before she could shoot. On deck someone came running aft. George crossed to her side, took the weapon from her. Looking up, he whispered: What happened? She was strangely not excited. "Rannels killed Mat! she told him Through the companion simply. above them they could see the sky, d the clouds, the after rail. They beard Rannels speaking. Watch the companion, he panted, his voice thick. Ill go get him loose, and Gee. You stay here, and if anybody shows a head, bust em. Mary did not know Hurd was aboard. She looked at George and saw, with a quickening respect and admiration, that he was calm; that strength had run into him to meet this emergency. He said: out of the rack Ga and load them.

George retorted. XVin those who had supported him in making Peter captive were simply mutineers, damned not only by the laws but by all the tradition of the sea. So, for their salvation, Richard must be found. Mat, on the way back to Hoakes Bay, questioned Gee. The Negro repeated that he and Richard and Peter started through the tall tussock grass up toward the pond where the geese had lighted; that they entered the grass abreast, and became separated in Its maze; and that when he emerged at the upper border of the grass, he was first, and Peter presently appeared, but Captain Corr did not Beyond that he swore In beseeching terror, he knew only what the mate had told him. " Believed what he told you, did you? Mat demanded. Yas, suh. Mat said evenly: "Youre a liar! There wasnt any beach in the tussocks, nor any sea lions. You knew well enough nothing like that happened to the Capn in there." With one strong motion he ripped Gees shirt off his back. "Get a boat spade, Rannels, he directed.
