Copyright by the Musson Book Company How the Story Started. uFrank Westhaver, -- known _88 Shorty," lives at Long Cove on: Bay of Fundy coast with his mother and his' uncle, Captain Jerry Clark. He and his chum Lemuel Ring drink 8 bottle of rum, whereupon nk's uncle tells him the story of his fath- er's fondness for drink and how the "Grace Westhaver" went down off Sable Island with ten of her crew and er skipper. This has the desired ef- fect upon Frank, He finishes school with credit to himself and spends the Summer as an apprentice to "Long Dick" Jennings. In August his uncle takes him on a fishing trip as spare hand aboard the Kastalia. While at anchor in Canso after the first fishing trip, Frank rescues a French boy from ill-treatment by his fellow-sailors. The two boys try their hand at dory fishing with success. A storm bursts with sudden fury. Frank's presence of mind saved the vessel from col lision with a steamer. When Frank is twenty-one and Jules nineteen, they ngage for a season with Capt. Wat- son, Frank calls on his boyhood sweet- heart, Carrie Dexter, now nurse in training in a Boston hospital, who in- troduces him to the matron as Captain Westhaver. On the return trip Capt. Watson dies and Frank steers the ves- sel into Boston harbr through a heavy sea. Carrie speaks scornfully of life on a fishing vessel. Frank buys the Mabel Kinsella and gets his drunken crew on board. He rescues a man overboard in the storm and wins anew the deep devotion of his gang. SE to under a goose-winged lower main- topsail with the lee clew hauled out and a small rag of a mizzen staysail. The furled-up sails on the yards had broken free of the gaskets in many Places and were bellying out in bal- loon-like knobs; the hull rode very low in the water some of the seas were making a com- | ing and groaning in every beam, knee, and plank, the schooner wallowed, lurched, reared, and flung herself over the roaring crests with all the twists and lunges of an unbroken broneho. For four long and apparently in- terminable days the gale continued, and the Kinsella, hove-to all that time, drifted away to the eastward. "So far," as one of the gang remarked, "that it 'ud need a dollar's worth o' postage stamps on a post-card t' reach us." Needless to say, his -joke was net appreciated by the scowling fish- ermen in the adjacent bunks. With the dawn on the morning of the fourth day came signs that the storm was breaking. The snow had ceased, and the cold glint of a cloud- enshrouded sun illuminated a waste of tumbling grey-blue sea, foam- streaked and rearing white-capped heads in sullen fury. The sky was lightening up to windward, and when the ragged clouds, racing like smoke athwart the heavens, opened up al faint patch of blue, the watch hailed the news with delight. "Weather's liftin', skipper. Thar's a streak o' blue sky showin' now!" All hands tumbled up to see it--a common, ordinary and- unimportant sight to a landsman--but as beautiful as the sight of home to the gea-weary men with eyes jaded by the monoton- ous vista of restless sea and sullen, depressing snow-filled sky. They watched it spread as the strong nor'- wester drove the fleecy storm-wrack away, and when the sun broke clear, the watery waste reflected-the cobalt insella neared her a string of flags ran up to her spanker gaff, fluttered for an instant, and vanish¥®i. : "What's th' uze of him flyin' In-. ternational Code hoists to a fisher- man," . said Westhaver, "We don't know what they are, though I cal'late that was N.C. that went up-- r') now!

It was good to see it once again, and CHAPTER ELEVEN--(Cont'd:) Below decks the men, with muscles aching with the jolting and knocking about, hung into their bunks--jammed in with rolled-up clothes, mattresses and pillow--and smoked plug after plug of tobacco until forecastle and cabin became opaque with the blue reek. Oilclothes swung like pen- dulums from the hooks on the bulk- heads, and boots and buckets clattered and rolled across the floors. Charley Costa--the Portugese cook--worked around his stove in momentary danger of being hurled against it, and he pre- red meals after a fashion. = The Wao in the vessel's bottom swashed among the ballast, and the fumes made the lamps burn blue and blackened the fresh-painted woodwork lining of the cabin and forecastle, be- sides making many of the men sea- sick with the nauseating odor, Creak- the whole aspect of things changed beforé a rush was made by the who! crew for the dories nested amidships: "Say!" shouted Westhaver, "I said e o Hoggishness of his sea life, of "Put here in here, mister," he said , with the color, and Westhaver gave a joyous shout.
