Gallop rubbed his enormclus hands togethe:. "I‘m inclined to give you a chance," said Peter. Gallop shook his head. ‘"Nothing doing," h> grunted. We‘ll have him with the others." "I‘ve taken charge of the ship," Peter informed him. Gallop rubbed his hands together. "Thai‘s splendid" he exclaimed. I‘ve just polished off Doyle â€" but I can‘t find his revolver. It dropped someâ€" where." Peter decided to avoid the question. "Can you leave the engines for a little time?" he asked. I want to get my prisoners stowed away in the hold." I‘ll reduce the speed hinm. Wicks and Sinclair were put away in the hold. Gallop examined the ropes which fastened them, and made a few slight adjustments. ‘"‘That will take care of them," he ‘"Now what about Crockett?" Crockett backed away from him. ‘"There‘s no need to fasten me up!" he cried. Besides, if they get loose they‘d strangle me for what I‘ve done! T"ll work for you! T‘ll do just what you tell me. There won‘t be any trouble from me, I assure you." Crockett glanced from Peter to Alla realized she still had the revolver pointed at him. Then he looked at Sinclair and as quickly glanced away. "T‘ll do it," he muttered. "You‘d be a fool!" Sinclair rasped. ‘"‘You‘ll only be knocked on the head and dropped over the side." ‘"That was what Wicks was going to do to you," Peter cut in sharply. Crockett hesitated. Then he stepped towards the captain. "He might have reckoned on doing something of the sort," he said thoughtâ€" lully.. "Having sailed with him before I did gewt a good idea of his way of doâ€" ing things.> Maybe I was a bit of a fool ove: this." ‘"Yes came the reply above the throbâ€" bing of the engines. "I‘m coming down." "Right!" Peter motioned for Crockett to go first. Gallop stared at them. "What‘s been happening?" he deâ€" manded. He fastencd up the captain, and Peéetor made sure that the knots were properly tied. He also inspected Sinâ€" clair‘s bonds. â€" Satisfied that neither of them would get away he turned toCroâ€" cket: "We‘ll go to the engineâ€"room now," he said curtly. You‘ll go first." GALLOP IS SaTISFIED Crockett left the bridge and moved across to the companionway leading to the engine room. [ af 61 "I suppose the girl is at the wheel?" t "HMe‘s tied up along with the captain."

"It wouldn‘t be any good to me in the engineâ€"room," he declared. I only wanted to know whether you were goâ€" ing to treat me as a partner or not." and instantly felt ashamed of himself. Gallop, of course, was after a share of the gold. Peter‘s intentions was to get to British territory as quickly as possâ€" ible and turn both trawler and gold ovey;. I see your point so far as Gallop is concerned. But he makes me uneasy. He must know that you would turn the gold over to the authorities at the earlâ€" iest opportunity. I am afraid that he has some plan made out." "As you please. But they would be far more useful to us. After all, we are the ones who will be attacked if they get free." He nodded his head in the direction of the hatch. ‘"‘They free," Gallop anâ€" nounced. Peter did some quick thinking. Withow, Gallop it was next to impossâ€" ible for them to reach the land. It would be a very bad start to show the man that he did not trust him. So, with a smile, he passed his weapon ove: "I‘m satisfied," Gallop said quickly. "Now TI‘ll get back to the engines." Prter went on the bridge and exâ€" plained to Alla what had happened. She listened in silence. ."Blut you can‘t get away from the fact cthat we are armed and he is not." ‘"‘There are other ways of winning without fighting," said Alla wisely. ‘‘"We‘ll have to watch him carefully. That‘s all we can do at the moment." "Exactly," Alla agreed. You might as well get some rest for a little time. I can carry on quite easily because I have had an exceedingly easy time." ‘"What do you think of things?" he asked her when he had told her everyâ€" thins. "Now T‘ll get hoid of Doyle and put him wi‘ch the rest," he announced with grin. COnce his prisoners were in the hold, and the hatch secured, Gallop turned to Peter. "How many weapons have we?"he demanded. Peter knew it was useless to attempt to deceive Gallop. "T‘wo," he said shortly. ‘T‘d better haveâ€" one," Gallop told hin ‘"Very well," Peter said. "If wil not be long beform I relieve you, however.‘" As he went to the cabin, he realized that Gallop was increasing the speed. He wondered how the man would stand the strain of being in the engine room all the time. FROM A STORM TO A . .. Morning found Peter on the bridge while the girl rested. He had studied a chart and made up his mind to try to mak> one of the Windward Islands. He altered course [accordingly and made up his mind to say nothing about the destination to Gallop. "I think we must run for the nearest shelter," she said quietly. "If we alter course we should get to some islands by noon." "Very well. We‘re too shortâ€"handed to be able to do anything in the event of there being an accident. It‘s safety first all the time." They sighted grey speck on the horizon shortly after seven bells, and by noon were near enough to be able The sky was overcast and it was not long before there was every indication of a storm coming. Alla relieved him at the wherel in order that he could examine the dinghy and make sure that she had the necessary provisions in case she had to be used in an emerâ€" ‘"*‘That‘s good," Gallop approved. "I think I might leave the engines for a while, so that we can give some food to our prisoners." "I think they‘ll have to wait," Peter told him. "I want to get back on the bridge as quickly as possible. It seems to me that we are likely to have some dirty weather pretty soon. That‘s why I want to be sure of getting some speed if it‘s really needed." Gallop nodded his head. "You can have it," he declared. "Splendid,‘" Peter approved, crossing to the companionâ€"ladder. He hurried back on the bridge and exchanged glances with Alla, who was looking decidedly worried. "I‘ll get some more food down here for you," Peter told him. ‘"That‘s all right," said Gallop. "I‘ve been looked after so far as that is conâ€" cerned. What course are you setting? That‘s what is troubling me. It‘s not going to be so easy if we run into bad weathe:. "I‘m trying to make the mamland as quickly as possible," Peter informed him, feeling ashamed of himself for this decepntion. gency. Then he went to the engine rcom and spoke to Gallop, who was heavyâ€"eyed through loss of sleep. I‘ve thought of that," Peter admittâ€" AXMINS, ONT ARITO New Cochrane Mayor Opposes Council Pay Idea behind this action is to force ableâ€"bodied relief recipients to seek employment. In future, before relief can be extended in such cases, a new investigation into the applicant‘s cirâ€" cuinstances must be made, approved by both council and the authorities at Toronto. Cochrane, April 30.â€"Cochrane‘s new mayor, A. E. Wicks, in the chair for the first time, showed that he has the courage of his convictions, whether they are popular or not. On two items at the first meeting at which he presided he took decided stand. He endorsed the proposal that the council should act on instructions from the provincial relief administrators and cut off all employables from relief lists on May 1sts Ten men have been cut off the relief rolls at Cochrane as a reâ€" sult. A letier was received from the Toâ€" ronto officials asking that all ableâ€" bodied men be dropped from the welâ€" fare rolls on May 1. The council will also call for tenders for the sale of the buildings and lcts ccecupied by the Cochrane Sash and Door factory on the outskirts of the town. Property Sold Council disposed of the Lakeview Hall, an old landmark here which for many years was the headquarters of the Knights of Columbus in Cochrane. Taken for arrears of taxes some years ago, the hall has not been used for some time, and the offer of Andrew Sigouin to purchase the property for demolition for $100 was accepted. Receiving its first two readings, the byâ€"law setting the remuneration for the 1938 council found divided opinâ€" ions among the members. Councillor Jameson suggested that as the proposâ€" al has already caused severe criticism among the citizens, action should be delayed until the electors vote on the question next December, when the *€1 cculd be made effective in 1939. Mayor Opposed Mayor Wicks tltook a strong stand against the byâ€"law, staiing that when the proposals was first made in Febâ€" ruary, he had been one of the many who had criticized the council‘s acâ€" tion and he was still against the proâ€" posal. The condition of the town‘s finances did not warrant the spendâ€" ing of the money in his opinion, and should the byâ€"law be passed, he made it plain he would accept nothing but would endorse his cheques back to the towr.

They rounded the island, and Peter signalled for speed to be reduced to half, After examining the chart careâ€" fully, he proceeded to work nearer the island, reducing speed still further. Alâ€" though the sky was overcast and the wind was rapidly increasing in force the sea on this side of the island was comparatively placid. The long waves rolled gently up the beach and everything seemed perfectly peaceful. "We should have used the lead, inâ€" Just as the girl reached the deck there was a sudden lurch, accompanâ€" ied by a sickening, crunching sound. The trawler heeled over considerably. The byâ€"law which makes payments retroactive to January 1, 1938, would pay the mayor $300 per annum and councillors $5 for each regular meetâ€" ing attended. "We should have used the lead, inâ€" stead of trusting to the chart," Peter said suddenly. "Would you mind atâ€" tending to it?" Try The Advance Want Advertisements "We‘re on a sandbank!" Peter gaspâ€" d in dismay. Councillor Goulet in supporting the byâ€"law suggested that since the elecâ€" tors expected candidaties to supply cars to take them to vote, cciuncillors should be reimbursed themselves durâ€" ing their term of office. The third reading of the byâ€"1aw is scheduled for next regular meeting of council. Timmins Relatives at Wedding at New Liskeard Tha bride, who was given away by her brother, Mr. Oran Leroy, of Timâ€" mins, was charmingly attired in a gown of French blue chiffon over taffeta, made in formâ€"fitting style with fowing skirt, floor length, a quilted bolero jacâ€" ket and veil of illusion net held in place with forgetâ€"meâ€"nots.
