McKenzie took one look at my hand and ordered me to remain behind. It was just before 8 bells when I made out a boat pulling toward us, the men straining ut their ours. Then) 1 made out that it was one of ours and somehow or other I knew at once that something had gone wrong. When it! got nearer I saw Capt. McKenzie seat- ed in the stern. He was propped up against the man who was steering, and I could see that they had made a place for one of his legs between the two men on the, thwart before him. 'We got him, aboard and I ould see from his face that he was suffering terribly. This was what I got out of one of the boat crew: They had gone a bit! farther than usual and run into rough! water. The fishing was unusially | good, "however, and Capt. McKenzie: insisted 'on Taking a hand. In some way or other he got tangled up in the lines. At the very moment Crosby swung of warning, and Capt. McKenzie, who hadn't been expecting such a move,' lost his balance and fell, striking his forehead on one of the" 'oarlocks and twisting his right leg under him, snap-, ping it like a pipestem. In the meantime they had carried the captain to his berth and Chang, who was a bit of a bone setter in ad- dition to being a cook, had fixed him up asiwellias could be expected. The mate 'hung about outside the cabin door, and when Chang came out he couldn't 'have taken greater pains to seized him by the shoulder and swung what it meant--piracy! {keep _ciear of me, which wasn't a.

'Heif an hour later Chang and the the mate asked to be carried in the "Colonel" were in many fathoms of water and I was back in my berth 'felaing like a sick man. The following night Crosby shifted all the watches and I noticed that the double watch that went on duty and made up entirely of men with whom I had seen him talking from time to time. ; I didn't have long to wonder what this meant, for just before the grave- yard wateh he and two men came into my cabin and, after a brief struggle, overpowered me. They went out, leav- ing me gagged and bound hand and foot ont the floor. After that IT heard fighting, all over the ship. Finally things quieted down, Crosby's men came back again, selzed | me and lugged me aft, where I was tied to the mainmast. Then they re- moved the gag. "I'm going to keep you where I can have an eya.on you, my hearty," laughed Crosby, who seemed in high! spirits at the outcome of his mutinous work, During the next few hours I had an opportunity to see how matters stood, and so far as I could tell, fully half of the crew of the Susan were on the the boat too sharply without a word mates side. Just before dawn he came up to me. "You see, our plans have been; changed a bit," he began, with a sneer.

His body, too, was gray, dead Chang, were faced on Crosby. he had done, I would have helped him to do; that is, not yet. I saw the men tableau, their eyes wide with wonder.

Master of the situation, I forced my- | self into action. One by one the men { who had been true to Capt. McKenzie | were cut loose, and one by one the | mutineers were trussed up. All the time I heard Crosby sobbing and curs- {ing at my side. As I turned I saw Chang melt away | into nothing at all and I heard a sigh | from up in the tops ave us. I think it was his spirit passing off, satisfied with what it had done.
