I at once aculled out into the stream until I struck the free current, and then ml myself on the boat's bottom, using an oar as a udder to keep tne wows head Uuwu the river, lettiug her drift with the tide which wss here running at a great rate. All night sounds from the laud were lost in the thick cloud, and an aiiuust dead ailence ensued sa wv whirled southwrsrd, the only break being an occasional sucking noise in the water, due to the hurrying whirlpools. It was nervous work. Ames wss forward as a lookout, hia figure even at that short distance being almost lost in the combined darkness ami blur. The girl, wnted uou the center tuwart, held herself as straight es aa arrow, though her head was slightly bent as in intense listening. Tear of her becoming an incubua had long since vanished, and if her heart beat thickly at nur dutuoua adventure, it did not show in the quiet and smile with which she had adopted every sugvestion and olieyed every order with aa littlr hesitation aa though she had I ten a disciplined soldier. In her hand the held a pistol which was huddled closely in iwT cloak to keep the damp from its pruning; and in an emergency I fully believed she would use it without a qualm I had given orders tliat no shot should be fired save in extremity, determining that interference should tie met by cnld steel only. At the onset 1 feared ik ing beyond blundering into a patrol, and .a that case the use of G rearms might alarm the enemy ashore. In tbe above fashion, then, are drifted long for perils pa SO minutes, the wet drip-- f ing from niy brows and laabea like tears. I had no means of getting at our definite whereahouta save by guessing by our speed, that muking me think we should be alireaet cf the highland! below Turtle bay. Turning the boat's head inshore, 1 ran dose to the rucks, and then slid along (more slowly for being hard by the lank) just btyond what I thought to lie tbe loom of the land. By this I had gotten into the twins of the situation and had less fear of Vuld lie than of missing the IhantonV Mx Could an easy matter to ilip by her, I once mark the height of Hook, with its alarm beacon always ready for the touch of a torch, I would then he an sailor if 1 could make a straight euurae for the schooner, though she still lay at her old anchorage. In the darkneas both beacon and heights would tie beyond vision, and I was approaching what was very like real worry when my fears were relieved and our present situation indicated by the sound of eight belli struck in true style that came floating' over the river about off our larboard Iwam. I gave a fair guess that the measured beat came from the liellerophon striking the liror of midnight, that ahip being the only vessel of size which had been anchored above the Jersey prison hulk to dispute a possible passage of the bound river from .nliove. I waa aura of this when, after intently listening, I heard no other striking, for had the fleet been near there would have been a harmony of bells in quick l e'tu-kin- ol the tlood Ude. - ranii-uMi- frruption I un-ou- al iii! lid iiuU-- , MMiku iiiysell uu tliv thwart, will hold me ready to ultei our couiseand feel for tbe eciioouer aa soon aa a had gained a trifle more way down the river. CHAPTER XVL THE CABIN OP THE PHANTOM. With my mind loct to all else save the calculation of the speed and diatauce we were making, and my body braced forward waiting ihe proper moment to swerve the bout's course, I waa suddenly startled by a luick exclamation from Amea, which waa it once fullowed by a reaping Lump and die heeling of the scow until the water (loured in over tbe gunwale. At the same moment the starboard oar received a blow that almost tore it from my hand, and what seemed a huge black object arose alongside and quirkly vanished in the mist aud darkness astern. The suddenness aud rmartnesa ol the shock were startling; but, quick aa were the appears nee and disappearance of the o bet ruction we had fouled, I recognised it to be tbe apar buoy which marked the outer edge of the reef extending from the Hook into tbe river. One might have cruised a week under the conditions besetting us and failed to have picked it up. It waa like groping through tbe proverbial haystack and finding the proverbial needle without having looked fur it, and, tbougtf ita greeting had been disastrous, it gave me the one point I 1 wished with absolute accuracy. now knew that we were nearly dead on the Phantom, and not two cable lengths sway; indeed, had we missed the rude warning of the apar, it waa but fair to reckon we would have fouled the echooner herself uulese in my miscalculation J had altered our course, in which case we would bsve misled her altogether. Quickly turning the boat's bead aliout, I let it drift stern first, and even before 1 expected, beard the rush of tbe tide against s vessels stein, while almost instantly, magnified through the fog, loomed up like a blank wall the bow of the schooner. Bo suddenly were wc uion it that the jib boom waa well over u before I aigliled the black hull, and with all my might I checked tbe boat's way, grasping the tiobstay in time to save the taut cable, and we ca:iie to a rest. Tbe suck of the ruhmg water against the broad, flat end of the scow made me fearful that the noise would cad the guard's attention forward, and, wins pering into the ear of Ames lu hold all last until 1 returned, 1 gently rid me id my bools, took n.y sword betwixt my teeth, f warmed up the stay to the bowsprit, and tlood again on the deck of uiy owu schooner At laat 'twaa done. The exultation 1 felt would lie but natural to any man who ceca the successful ending of a d.llieuit undertaking. Kog and darkness were aauolhing te me here; my way aft wouid have been clear bad 1 leen blind, but hardly had I gotten abreast the foremast when I heard the burly tones of one man addressing an other, nd thr noise of nara as they tell into rnwlo, '.t came plainly to my strained ear. Stepping softly over the bulwark, 1 lowered myself to the channel and listened.
