hinge and sinister change.
One day about noon, at the beginning
of the third week, e sailor named Bates
wu placed in irons for striking a men
mats wtthe merllnspikeeud breaking his
Inn. The punishment wee undoubtedly
deserved, but there were angry mutter-
ings and more then one sullen face among
the crew in consequence: for Bates, whose
only fault was en uncontrollable temper,
was a general flvorite. But when the nuv
fortunate men was found deed the next
morning things began to look black for
the officers.
There was no sign of wound or strug-
gle upon the body of the dead man. but
the atmosphere of the forecastle where
he had been confined was odorous with
the fumes of chloroform. I called the
captain's attention to this, but be thought
I must be mistaken end would not be
convinced. even when the boetewaln end
one of the mates argued on myside. He
declared that there wee none of the
drug on board and never had been. had
so it happened that poor Bates was buried
in the deep sea at the very hour at which
he was to have been liberated.
At eight bells the following night,
when the first mate went on deck to re
llevs his fellow officer, the latter had din-
appeared and could not be found. I hep-
pcned to be leaning against the mlzzeu—
meet smoking when the alarm was given,
end could here sworn that i had been
smelling chloroform for half an hour,
although I did not cell the fact to mind
until the dreadful cry of “Man over.
board!" was sounded end ell bands piped
on deck. A boat containing the first mate
and four men was lowered at once, the
ship was brought about, and two hours
were spent in a fruitless search. in
the mean time every accessible nook in
the ship, which was tacking back and
forth in the locality, was inspected with
like results. At last the searching party
was taken on board, and the 8' ip rc-
sumed its course.
The captain now took turns at the
watch with the mete. and evrrytblng ran
smoothly till the following night, or
rather the next morning—four bells of
the first, watch. Then when he turned out
to relieve the mate that officer could not
be found.
01: the afternoon following the second
disappearance the captain called me into
his cabin, shut and locked the door, and
beckoned me to a chair at a small table.
I saw nothing remarkable about this, be
lieving that be only wished to talk over
his troubles, but when he took a seat op-
posite me i noticed that his face was
deadly pale and that his lips were tightly
compressed.
“My two officers have been murdered,
Mr. Vincent," he fairly gasped.
“Murdered!" l exclaimed. “l have
suspected foul play from the first. Have
you any evidence?"
“The best in the world. You have
noticed the big Dane, Q\ letgunl?"
"That mild looking fellow with the red
beard?”
”Y..."
“Why certainly; but you don‘t suspect
him, I hope.“
”Of course not. On the contrary, there
is a mutiny on foot, and be-mlmt here is a
note he slipped into my band it moment
ago. Read it for yourself. Unless you
and I end this faithful fellow con clit-
fight or outwit fifteen hell hounds, we
are doomed."
With a face that must have been as
white as the one before me, and a band
that was anything but silently, I picked
up a short of paper which the captain had
thrown on the table and mul the follow
lug:
Captainwl have just discoverrd e hor-
rible plot. . All the crew, except myself,
have mutinied. The mates were knocked
on the hand and thrown overboard. You
will share the same fete when you come
on deck to relieve the watch tonight, un-
less you heed this warning. Meet me ten
minutes beforeths close of the second dog
watch, just all. the main hatchway, and
lwill tell you everything. in the mean-
time donot. speak to me or send for inc,
for we are closely watched. i am eup-
posed to side with the crew. The least
mistake would be fatal. Don't tell the
passenger. He may be ell right, but I
doubt it. For God’s sake, captain. don't
go near the rail.
“Don't tell the paseenger,” i muttered
as I looked at the captain, not only hoe.
ror stricknl at the contents of the note,
but surprised and hurt at the uncompli-
mentary reference to myself. But the
captain, who must have dlvincd my
thoughts. relieved my mind on this point
by saying: '
“That'rl ell right, my dear Vincent.
The fellow is only a little over cautious.
Don’t mind him. i would trust you with
the nhip, and my life, too. for that matter.
You see I have shows my confidence by
allowing you to read the hole. Now]
went your advice. Your assistance 1
shall count on without the asking when
the fines comes."
“Thank you,ceptein," I answered. “To
start with, lehould certainly not go on
deck till it is timeto meet the Dane if I
were you."
My companion had now regained his
composure to a certain extent, and set for
a moment drumming the table with his
fingers.
"Who has the watch newt" lcootinued

answer. "its is acting at first. mate, and

Assooues the last streak of day had

hand, mounted the companion ladder
and stole softly on deck. I followed him
pert way, but stopped, according to his
directions. and stood with my head and
shoulders above the companion way.
ready in case of an emergency to lend
any assistance that might lie in my
power. .
I never looked into a blacker night.
The air was soft end warm, and fltfnl,
gusts of wind dashed a few cooling rain-
drops against my face as I held on to my
revolver and tried to keep the receding
form of the captain in view. But be dis
appeared elmoet instantly; end, owing to
the whistle of the. wind in the rigging,
the groaning of thll masts and the creek-
ing of the yerderms, I could not hear his
footsteps after he had gone half a dosen
paces.
Anslously I waited five, ten, fifteen
minutes, as nearly as I could reckon
time, but neither sight out sound
brought intelligence of the captain. At
last I can bear the suspense no longer. I
began to walk slowly toward the bow.
When I thought I had reached the loca-
tion of the hatchway,and was on the
point of coming to e halt,l struck my
foot against something and fell, the
planks ofthe deck seeming to open and
engulf me.
I gained my feet with some difficulty,
and was about to step forward. when the
ship gave a lurch and I was thrown
lengthwise against the‘ bull. Before I
could stand up again the bent form at»
sumed an upright posture and I recog-
nieed the big Dene. Muttering incoher-
ently. he picked up a lantern and started
toward the place where! had fallen. OH
to my left.
As the light drew m-nr I discovered a
rope dangling from the deck. When the
Dane drew near this rope be deposited his
lantern beside him, rubbed his big, hard
hanlhl together with a loud, reaping noise,
and laughed a low, fiendish sort of
chuckle, which fairly chilled my blood.
A moment later his merrimeot “subsided,
and, taking hold of the rope with one
hand, he picked up the lantern with the
other. lexpected to see him run his arm
through the handle of the lantern and go
hand over hand through the hutchway;
but he was in no hurry, and began to
talk in a harsh undertone.
"So far, so good, King Qvlstgard," he
said. "A million pounds of diamonds,
sewed up in silk sacks, all my own. Oh,
what a royal present for my ebony prin-
cess! Fifteen days more and lshall reign
supreme. The two matca and the captain
are now my loyal subjects, and to-morrow
night the passenger will join them. Then
come-e me lieftl‘blvfl, Ilutlou and the little
\Velshmeu, and so on down the list. Ha,
ha, ha!"
Never until that awful moment bed I
heard the blood-cunning laugh of a
maniac, but i recognized it as quickly as
if I had paused all my days inside the
wells of a madhouse. Before I knew it
nty strength, or courage, or both, sudden-
ly returned, and l arose cautiously to my
feet, discovering at the came time the re:
volver which had fallen from my band
when I stumbled on the deck. it was ly-
ing almost at the feet of the Dane. Atl~
vauclng slowly, I utcmped uml was about
to pick up the weapon, but before I could
get hold of it the ship lurchmi egaln,l
collided with the madman, and we both
went down together.
The rcvolwr escaped me, the light in
the lantern was extinguished. and there
was a scream, a piercing cry of fright and
anguish. such as only a ti-rrormtrlcken
madman can utter. And thou. with that
awful shriek ringing in my cars and the
strong fingers of the dcmenh-«l Dane
clutching my throat,l became lnwnsible.
When consciousness returned I w“
lying in my berth; it was daylight, and
Hutton won standing beside me. As soon
as I was able to talk he told me that just
after dark on the previous evening a hor-
rible cry was heard coming from the
direction of the main blfflllWiI)‘. and that
when the little Welshman and several
other sailors rushed tothe spot the raving

dead than alive, and taken to my cabin.
Soon after the captain and the two males
were discovered, gagged and bound, near
the spot where I had first seen the Dale.

the chloroform which had been adminis-
tered to him, and woe removed with the

more than once since then. It is often

great vaults, in which all the Russian
sovereigns since the foundation of St.
Petersburg lie buried, with the exception
of Peter Il.. who died at Moscow and was
interred there. Overhead in the church
magnificent monuments mark the sites
