The red Burgett into %Yellen's face and died away again, leaving it pale and haggard. Ills eyes met hers and held in a long gaze. They were hard, those fearless brown eyes, cruelly hard enough; but, too, they seemed to hold It strange challenge to him to refute what she had said. \Shall I answer you? Do you expect an answer?\ he said steadily. \Then the answer is—no. You are safer here only for a little while— only for a moment.\ She started back with a little cry, retreating to her cabin door. \I did not menu to frighten you,\ said Wallen gently. \I mean that there is artather danger quite apart from say on board. You know what Laymen and the others are after, and you have been told by Gunge here that, though you may not choose to believe it, they are inviting their own destruction. In an hour, in twenty- four, there will not be a man alive aboard this ship, and—\ A terrific smash upon the door cut dhoti his worde, and, whirling around. he jumped to Uungu's side. The shock of some heavy object, used obviously as a buttering rain, had loosened their makeshift prop, the door had yielded by perhaps an inch, and Gunge now was straining with might anti main to force it back into Wave. Wallet' flung Ids weight against the door—not an instant too soon. It came again, the smash upon the door. but with it a scream of pain above the shouts and cries. Came another scream—then again the scurrying of feet in retreat—then silence. Gunge had fired this time, but not at the floor. \Sahib said Gunge calmly, \we were in too great haste. See\—he jammed the dismantled cabin door more securely into position, wedging it against the iron base of the chair with a piece of WO011 that he wrenched from the chair's back—\it will not slip again.\ %Yellen nodded, testing the barri- cade. It was firm now, and would hold as long ns anything of the saloon door itself remained. lie looked around. Helen MacKny had gone into her cabln—and the door was shut.-- -Pos, sibly half an hour passed, and they walted—Gunga on one side a little out of direct range from the door. And then Wallen distinguished a muffled sound of voices. For a moment he could not place the eound—and then he suffled mirthlessly. Ilelen MacKay was talking through the porthole of her stateroom to some- one -- mit on the deck. And then, abruptly, in a shout, came Laynton's voice. apperently from the top of the companionway: \You below there!\ Wallen smiled grimly. He had been waiting It long while for that. \Well?\ he answered indifferently. \Look here now!\ Layuton's voice became modulated and unctuously smoth. \You ain't doing yourself any good by playing the fool this way. You come on out of there, give us the in- formation we want, and we'll forget about this, for all that two of my chaps have got bullets through their shoulders.\ \What's the ship's position?\ he geared Wallen coolly. There was a quick oath from Cap- tain Laynton. \I guess you know Llamed well!\ he growled. \We've Arru abeam, haven't we?\ persisted Wttilen quietly. \Yes.\ \Well said Wallen slowly, \I'll tell you what you want to know—on one condition.\ \Alia! So you do know, eh?\ tanned Laynton. \I thought we'd get it out of you before we were through. Yoiere beginning to show some signs Df Sense, my lad. What's the condi. lion?\ \It's simple enough.'\ Wallin replied shortly. \You'll stand in close to Arru spposite MacKnight's station—and let Kiss MacKay and Gunge here go %shore.\ \I sahib—no!\ Gunge had slipped seickly to %Yellen's side and was clutching at Wallen's sleeve. \I will dit go, Sahib. If the sahib gives his life for the Miss MacKay, shall the shame come upon me that I let the sahib die alone?\ \Quiet Gunge!\ Walien commanded softly. \I eitimot hear Mint the cap- tain says.\ Then raising hie voice: \What did you say, captain?\ \I said you mean you'd kind of count on going along with them after loading us up to the eyes with sonic fake dope,\ Laynton flung hack sar- castically. \Well you can forget R. You'll never get away from this ship like that.\ \I don't expect to get awtty,\ said %%rotten sintply. \They are to go. When they are safe I'll tell you every- thing you want to know. If what I tell you proves to be a lie—I am still aboard.\ \Well that's fair,\ admitted Layn- ton. \I'll take you up on that, and—\ Ills words were lost in a sudden fu- rious altercation in which Wallen cotuld distinguish Mutt's voice. Then came a bellow from the captain: \You close your jaw! What's the girt compared to the other?\ Almost a smile was oil %Yellen's lips —a smile that was curiously like a prayer. It was Ilk lust card, anti lite had played it, and it was the master I rump. Gunge, in low, passionate words, was still pleading with him. Captain Litynton shouted down the companion- way again: \I'll take you up on that. We'll shod in now and I'll send Mein ashore In a bunt.\ \No continued Wallen coldly; \you'll Milli a boat ashore and ask MacKnight to come out here in a pron. There's a slight difference. I said I wanted to see them safe, not rowed around the ship anti put aboard again on the other side.\ \Well have it your own way,\ inughed Laynton unpleasantly. \I'm agreeable, and that goes. We'll—\ It seemed to come from the port quarter—a muffled boom that roiled and reverberated over the water. Anti then another, and still another. And then a wild shout from the deck. %Yellen glanced quickly about him. For the first time be noticed that Ilelen MacKay's door was slightly opened, and now stood ajar. Gunge rushed into the stateroom next to hers. Caine that dull, distant boom again; then a crash, a ripping, tearing, rend- ing of wood and steel, and the Mon- leigh heeled to the shock. Then Gunge called: \Sahib it is too late! I see the flash of tuns. He will come from be- hind one of the islands. It Is Rain Gu- lab Singh.\ CHAPTER IX. The Man With One Finger. Wellen walked quietly across Use, saloon to Ills own cabin. A strange, unnatural calm seemed to have fallen upon him with Gunga's words. Too late! lie could not in justice reproach himself. There had been only one 41/411lAS Made His Way Up the Companionway. chance and he had taken It—Mac- Knight's. Even if he had defied Layn- ton end his sordid crew hours earlier, the result woule have been the same— it would have brietght neither the land nor MacKnIght's th,t sooner. It was only that Ram Gulab Singh had come first. He took his reserve supply of am- munition from its hiding place, stowed half the boxes away in his pocket, and with the balance of the cartridges in his hand, returned to the saloon and gave them to Gunge, ittotioning the other to remove the barricade. \What are you going to do?\ She had come out from her stateroom and was standing now, a straight, resolute little figure, with oyes that were very wide as they fixed on him. The electric bulb in the saloon dimmed down and went out. The boom of the heavy gun came across the wa- ter again, and unconsciously for a tense instant Wallen waited, expectant of the shock if the shell should find its mark. It missed. \l'm going on deck,\ he answered quletly. \They'll be too busy to notice me, and besides it's dark. Gunga will stay here and replace the barricade after I go out. We've got to know what's going on, Miss MacKay. The ship has been struck once, though not vitally, I think; hut down here is no place to be caught in If another shot prove more successful. I will lie baek presently.\ Without giving her a Chance to t _- ply he slipped through the door as Gunge opened it and out into the alley- way. It wits black, empty, deserted, Sb he had expected. Ile made his way up the companion- way to the little lounging room mid halted In the port doorway, looking out. Ile could see nothing at first. It was very dark—not a ligitt showed on the Monleigh. In that respect Layn- ton, taught no doubt by his expert. owes in the discreditable and varied trades he had- boasted was the Mon- leigh's business, had been prompt to meet entergeneiee. Anil then gradually, discernible only to It sailor's eye, like a dark blotch on the water, \Yellen made out another steamer almost abeam. An instant later, as though in grim indorsement of his vision, from the blotch there leaped a great red flame, came the heavy, resonant roar of the gun's re- port, and overhead a shell whistled ominously by. About a mile Wallet) now placed the distance between the two vessels, though as to the size of the other he could form no estimate. But did it matter? She was well armed at all events; and it was Ram (Julia) Singh, once a government official, always a robber and a murderer—the man who had brought Ills mother to her death, his father to his death, and now it was his own turn ! But tie know neither excitement nor dismay. lie vvas only conscious of monethIng smoldering dully within him, and that wits because Helen Mac- Kay was here. Ile shook his head a little. Helen MacKay, of course, would never fall into Rain Galati Singles liands—nlive. On the bridge he could hear Layn- ton calling down the engine room tube, frantically imploring the engineer for speed; and then Litynton's voice was drowned out by a din from forward by the crew. Yellen, hugging the shadows of the deckhouses, moved forward to a posi- tion under the bridge. Mott was talking excitedly overhead. \She's coming up hand over hand, I tell you. If that fellow %Yellen's story is straight after all—and I guess there ain't much doubt of it now—we haven't a hope if that chap out there gets aboard us, providing he don't sink us first. I say go full astern until we get away off her, and then take to the boats. We could give him the sUp in the dark if we don't wait till he gets too near to see what we're about, and—\ Another voice cut in, Larsen's, as hurrying front aft he ran up the star- board ladder to the bridge. \Help yourself, Mott,\ he invited sarcastically. \One boat's in splinters and the other's carried away; the deck aft is a wreck from that shell that struck us.\ \Light that Morse lamp.\ ordered Laynton abruptly. \Yes and give him our position,\ sneered Mott. \Ile's got it fast enough now,\ growled Laynton. \But we'll give him something else. You there, Larsen, light it, d'ye hear? And Morse, tell him that if It's that swine that's masquer- ading As 'alien he wants, we'll turn him over and—my God !\—with a rip and crash, staggering the ship, a shot tore the wireless house to mntehwood. \Quick !\ yelled Laynton. \Tell him! Tell thin, D'ye hear—tell hint! He'll have us at the bottom in another five minutes!\ A strange, awed silence held for an instant following the shot; anti now, over his head, %Yellen could distinctly 'hear the clicking of the Morse set. Ile strained his eyes seaward, watching for an answering signal, - and after a moment it came—but not in Morse. It was the belching flare of the gun again, and again the rend and smash of the projectile as It tore into _the _MoDlelgit's hull, There was no doubt about the range now, nor the tenor of Ram Gulab Sing's answer. It was as Gunge had said—the principle that dead men tell no tales. Ram Cute!)

Again that ter- rific crash from a striking shell, and then a scream, unearthly, not human, from the very bowels of the epip--a, tremor of the vessel from stem to stern, a groaning, screeching, wrench- ing of mangled machinery, a tottering thud as though the engines had col- lapsed upon their bedplates, a cloud of steam volleying skyward from the engine room hatch, and tltere was no more vibration—and the Monlelgh lay a helpless thing, with only n sullen movement now from the momentum of a moment gone.
