of a mutual love for mary manning daughter of the owner who la a passen ger at capo town captain stevens is iuperseded as captain of the orontes by drake whose lawyers have purchased the vessel during its cruise drake is forced to trounce stevens and then par adoxically he saves the ex-captain- life fro the hands of a crowd tf drunken miners in cape town the fight between tho miners and drake and stevens is long and furious but the orontes men are victorious mow stevens meekly ac cepts drake as master now go on with the story on the day before sailing drake took mary off to some old friends at kondebosch and told tho mate ho might permit the men to run ashore in two watches so long as all were aboard by nightfall adams and twining stood by waiting for orders as to the division of the liberty men and stevens sombeily followed with his darkling eyes the departing figures of the captain and his passenger two or threi seamen loitered nearby hop ing to get first shore leave when the skippers boat touched the steps ste vens abruptly undervent a sharp transformation he raised his fists and the grinding of his teeth sounded like tho grinding of clear ice on rock shes mine mine by every law of right and justice by every human and divine right shes mine by hea ven and mine she shall be gritted stevens in a gale of passion and the two other mater drew back amazed at the depth of feeling in the man his paroxysm passed over quickly or considered me beneath your august notice she challenged him he touch ed her hand lightly and laughed i could not forget you mary he said and as for being beneath my notice you know that cannot be cither you forgot it was notice of you which first of all drew me down to the docks she looked sharply at him there was something about his words and tone which puzzled her and last night sle had thrilled in her very in nermost fibre to the ardor of his pas sion youre not under the weather are yon she asked i good lord no never felt better in all my life do let me give you some more omelette do you feel the ship leap shes out for a record to java head mary ill show you what she can do with a sailing cor inthian to drive her no more omel- etto jove you havtrt the appetite of a canary when mary sat in her deck chair after breakfast making a pretense at reading she wondered if this first day at sea was a fair exaruplo of the many other days that must pass before java head was rounded even supposing a record to be made why hes no more to me or i to him than simply captain and passen ger she angrily told herself per haps unwittingly she had stumbled upon the exact situation captain drake might hold so rigidly to the religion of duty as to consider her ed since she was of the kind one les- pcilcf in a son teaches thoroughly if the teacher oliihc it cueslltie were able to touch the right chord as alden drake had been able to so she was not satisfied with the live side issues way matters developed after the ship j jbn saud king

had shown an amazing change of front she drew him gently over to the leeward into the soft black shadow of the clew of tho mizzen course her hands clasped on his arm she looked up into his face shyly surely a girl might look for a kiss an embrace drake patted her hand drew her nearer to him and she shivered rapturously this is the sort of night which makes even a sailoi love the sea he srid softly she waited nestling deavors to facilitate the achievement of this object and it goes on to qualify closer she didnt like that talk of loving the sea so well but she was not one of the forward sort

every law of right and justice running forward to get ready for a shore jaunt carried joyful news of a chief mate who was hot against the old man drake turned and smiled at mary and she started towards him all brightness and rosy armth but his smile was not what she expected it was the courteous smile of a captain for his favored passenger he passed inside the chartroom and began to pore over the chart last night he was the perfect lover she breathed angrily i sup pose it was wine when drake finished his chart work he took down a volume of sailing di rcctions for the indian ocean and sat down as if he expected to stay there for hours mary turned away in a temper she went to the breakfast table all primed and loaded for the face to face explanation she meant to demand from captain alden drake he came down all smiles and pride hor wrath was swept away as a fresh breeze dissipates smoke he looked ruddy and clean the bruises and scars of battle were no more than very masculine

she had heard of such men if truth were told she admired the man who could sacrifice all for duty but mary was a femi nine woman and what woman ever lived who wouldnt feel enraged if her own man sacrificed her own com pany for his duty her lips were prim and pressed as she took out her fathers letter from her book and glanced over parts of it again mr drake offered such a price for the orontes that i could not refuse captain manning wrote he must have plenty of dibs mary he cant make a profit on the ship paying the price he did but according to his lawyer profits dont bothe him ap parently he was at sea before and never quite lost the fever oh well wish him luck i am assured that none of the officers i had will lose in the least unless they choose to turn cranky toward captain drake at the end of the letter where a sailor would put such news these lines seem ed to mary to be written in dancing flames by the way my girl im not try ing to influence you but drakes law yer asked my permission for drake to court my daughter if he does and you find him spliceable i wont put snarls in the hitch mary gazed out over the rolling sea oh i find him spliceable i feel like

four months london an ominous coal situation is again developing in britain recall ing events preceding the stoppage in 1926 which led to the general strike in less than four months time pre sent wage agreements between the owners and men will come to an end and th miners federation is insisting upon national agreements in place of the present district agreements this the owners refuse to concede leclar- ing that thir experience with national agreemnts was disastrous and one of the causes of the general strike they assert they are determined to continu- on the present basis premier ramsay macdonnld has al ready thrown dynamite into the camp by describing the owners as stiff- necked for refusing to concede the miners demands the men state they are definitely going to seek government aid to force the owners to sign a national agree ment and it is obvious that if they get it ther is going to be a critical time for mr macdonalds administra tion in view of the fact that his fol lowers are in a minority in the house national industry meanwhile right hon george lansbtirys idea of a national coal in dustry as a public utility scheme which could be financed by tho gov ernment has been given a cool recep tion by the owners who suspect it is the first move to get the industry into a condition where it would be easy to nationalize it the owners are now discussing means of improved

ilngana is uminous of all forms of worship but equally to exercise such supervision over religious bodies as may be re quired for the maintenance of public order daily chronicle there are naturally many influences at work in palestine and the public is slowly becoming aware of their significance on the point of the immediate situation the general view held is that expressed by the times firmness first apart from consideratii us of jus tice and of our responsibilities as a mandatory there is a plain reason of the political kind why firmness and decision are in this case indispensable everybody who has any acquaintance with the east knows how concessions made apparently to violence affect the oriental mind they are invariably attributed to weakness or to fear tho moslems of palestine are already appealing to the moslems of india the jews of palestine are appealing to the jews in the united states their friends and cc religionists beyond the oceans are watching narrowly for signs of vacillation on the part of the manda tory power if she were to flinch from doing her duty in palestine fresh attempts to wrostnew concessions from her would quickly follow and thoy would not be confined to palestine the example palestine had set with success would be studied and follow ed in other lands by all the foment- crs of disorder palestine is a test case if we were to hesitate or to change our accepted policy there wo should soon have greater dangers to confront elsewhere there is a difference between mak ing palestine the national home of the jews and establishing a national home for the jews in palestine as serts the scotsman the first inter pretation was not accepted in 1922 it was then said that what was meant was not the imposition of a jewish nationality upon the inhabitants of palestine as a whole but the further development of the existing jewish community it is clearly the duly of britain to show no favors to the jews or to the arabs an admittedly difficult task which is not made easier by tho clamour of the jews in this country and throughout tho world in the interests ot british rule in india and other parts of the east it ij important that tho moslems should be treated fairly and that whatever 13 dine should be done impartially and should not bo thought to be tho result of jewish influence the con tract with jewry must be fulfilled but there arc also ollgatlons to tho arabs population in palestine which cannot bo ignored to ignore these signs there is great excitement in many parts of the arab world points out tho daily news expressing itself in vehement demonstrations and calls for unity in the arab countries under the kingship of ibn saud to ignoro theso signs would he to blind ourselves to the combustible ele ments of the arab nature and tho pos sibility of a senseless holy war emerging from the sudden racial flarcupin palestine it is of tho utmost importance that the british government should possess itself ot vital information upon all arab movomonts outside palestine it is abovo all import ant that it should got into friendly touch if it has not nlrcady dono so with ibn saud king of tho hedjaz the attitude of that great ara bian monarch will give the cluo to the riddle it is within his power to keep the peace or to break it ho exercises an immense influence over a wide expanse of arab territory ho is a religious

morlcy in aphorisms of this has been entrusted to a zion ist and the suggestion is made that britain should keep a firm hand on the control of the future of the sea sharing out tho proceeds of develop

sooner do outsiders come upon the scene and exploit its wealth than in steps the arab with his claim to participate in a wealth he ignored in the past and does nothing to develop today we must look further afield for an explanation of the recent disturbances nt t dead seas but living hatreds and jealousies are at the bottom of them all the sunday times calls attention to still another factor in the difficult situation it says the religions differences between jews moslems and christians in palestine which has always been a stormcentre 1 1 controversy through the ages are not the sole cause of the unrest that the mandatory power has seemed to minimize or ignore it should be remembered that the native peasantry the canaanites as they may bo called are a primitive folk mostly very pror and shiftless whereas the zionist immigrants are for the most part educated people from western europe and america who work hard and are building up modern industries two widely different types cf civilization have been suddenly brought into contact in a small coun try and the adjustment of the rela tions between them constitutes a very serious and delicate problem it may easily be imagined
