So she gave it up for the moment and set to work to tidy things up in the galley. After this she prepared a meal. Gallop and Gcrdon came up on deck to have their fcod and it was not unlike a picnicâ€"â€" except for the grim reminders on the shcre. "Another couple of hours should see us through," he announted. "But I shouldn‘t want to use her too much for a little while." Wicks studied the sky. "Weather conditions seem favourâ€" able," he commented. "There shouldn‘t the need for any strain." thouzh it was only a little, I might be able to land Drew somewhere. Then we shculd both ‘be satisfied." The girl shook her head. "I‘m afraid I don‘t know the first thing about it," she confessed. "And I con‘t think I could learn very easily. I‘m rather slcew at picking things up, I‘m ra‘ther slew at picking things up, I‘m afraid." Wicks Ilcoked at her suspiciously and then gave her a curt nod. "All right," he said. ‘"You can go along to the galley now." "It was rather unexpected," he said hurriedly., "I can‘t very well make this veyage without a mate, so T couldn‘t put him ashore. At leastâ€"I could; but I covuldn‘t spare him." "Naturally, you had to:!: safeguard your traw‘er," Alla approved. "That has to come first with a captain." Wicks nodded his head. "Of ccurse," he said quickly. "But if you knew anything of navigationâ€"even thouzh it was only a little, I might be "You‘d better for your own sake," Wicks said shortly. Then he moved across in order to prevent Alla from talking to Peter. He sat next to the mate and looked at him thoughtfully. "I think we‘d better nave a talk," he gsaid slowly. ‘"Very good,." said Peter. ‘"Shall I come to your cabin?" "You might as well," said Wicks. Alla had gone aft to the galley, and was surprised when Gallop came along to her. When he had gone she frowned. Thinzs were becoming very complicatâ€" ed. She could tell what Wicks wanted to do. The mate was in the way and shculd be removed. But that was not practicable because of a navigator being Alla shook her head. "Not a thing," she said decidedly. Gallop scowled. "That‘s a pity," he declared. "A great pity. I‘m not sure about this, but the captain might offer to teach you. I should learn if I were you. Only don‘t trust the captain tco much, He‘s been a bit of an adventurer in his time and deasn‘t always run a dead straight courseâ€"if â€"you understand what I mean." "Splendid. Now Tll let you get on with your work." He turned away, but came back to grin at her and whisper: "Don‘t forget to watch your step." "T‘ll be very careful," she assured him. "Â¥Yeur English is wonderful," Gallop told her. "Remember that you can alâ€" ways come to me if there is any trouâ€" ble. I‘d like you to have a look at the engineâ€"room one of these days. Not just now, because it‘s all untidy." "I‘d like to very much," Alla assured "I don‘t quiteâ€"but thank y much for warning me. T‘ll be andaâ€"watch my step. Is that t thing to say? My English is not perfect." quired. So he wanted to teach her so but thank you very r me. TI‘ll be careful ep. Is that the right alway She shcok her head. "No, Captain Wicks, we shall not be caught that way," she said to herself. Then there was Gallop. Evidently he did not feel that he could work on his own. He wanted somebody who could attend to the navigation part. And he wculd prefer her to the mate. It was a situation fraught with danâ€" ger. Once they realized that she was »apable of taking charge of the trawler both parties could unite and get rid of Drew. But so long as Drew was a useful ally there was something to keep the two sices working against one another. She didn‘t know what Howe felt wbout the matter, but it was quite plain to whom Gcrdon and Crockett would give supâ€" port. caught Then did not "Frankly I don‘t see why you should make that offer to me. You want me to help you to take the ship across to America. After thatâ€"well, how do I know that I should receive a share of the gold? I haven‘t any guarantee." Wicks stroked his beard. "I can see your point," he admitted. "On the other hand I don‘t see what security I can give you. And I think, maybe, that you have the wrong idea, Mr. Drew. I am the captain. It so hapâ€" pens that you are in my hands. I don‘t propose to leave you behind beâ€" cause you will be useful to me. And when the voyage is over I shall not knock you over the head for the very cvious reason that you would still be useful. There isn‘t sufficient money for us to be able to retire for life. The main point about this money is that there is suffizsient for us to eatn more with it. Money really does make money. You can‘t get away from that. And I know szores of ways of making money â€"given the required capital, You‘re going to help me." "I don‘t seem to have any optionâ€" at the moment," Peter said quietly. Wicks stepped forward and clapped him on the shoulder. Peter contented himself with a shrug cf the shoulders. He knew that Wicks sould not dispense with his services. "Yes," the captain said thoughtfully. "Â¥ou realize that you‘re useful to me. But we‘ve got to have an understandâ€" ing, Mr. Drew. I take it that you raven‘t changed your mind about comâ€" ing into partnership with me?" _ She that it would be a good thinz to get into conversation with Howe. With this intention she left the galleoy. CHAPTER XII "YOU LOOK AFTER THE GIRL" In the cabin Wicks leaned against his bunk and stared at Peter, "You‘ve given me a fair amount of trcuble," he said slowly. "It would serve you right if I put you ashore and left you to the Arabs." "You‘ll be all right," he encouraged. As the days go by you‘ll begin to reaâ€" lize that your wisest plan will be to fall in with my suggestions.‘" He cocked his head slightly on one side and his eyes screwed up slightly. Then he leaned nearer to Peter. "IT‘d better warn you about one thing," he said in little more than a whisper. "We‘ve extra trouble nowâ€"because of the girl you rcscued. It‘s going to be a hard crogsâ€" ing for us all. We may have to proâ€" tect her from the crew. There‘s no knowinz what ideas they may get when they‘ve spent several days in midâ€" ocean and it‘s tco hot to do any work. So you might as well bear in mind the thcught that you are sharing a certain respoensibility with me." E;eter was taken somewhat by surâ€" prise. He hadn‘t expected Wicks to adopt this attitude. "Surprised, eh? You shouldn‘t be. I‘m Icoking after the gold, man! I don‘t want the added responsibility of a woâ€" man on my hands. I think the best thing that you can do is to look after her. And in order that there isn‘t any trouble which we cannot manage, those rifles must be dropped over the side when we leave here. I don‘t believe in the crew bhaving weapons. It might put wrong nctions into their heads." "The guns might come in useful for when we get across to the other side," Pcter reminded him. "It‘s just posâ€" sible that we might get off our course and land along a coast just as wild as this one." "«¥ou mean the Guiana coast? TI‘ve heard that it is bad in parts. But that is not our destination." Wicks shook his head. "I think I prefer to run the risk," he declared. "It will not be nearly so great as the risk of having rifles which might be obtained by a disconâ€" tented crew. I‘ve heard of locks being broken more than once." He shook his head again. "They go over the side toâ€" night," he said. "Tll see to it when Croz:kett is on deck.

For excess and abuse are as much the enemies of our industry as they are the enemies of the law. If dependence is placed on restrictions, the exi perience of Prohibition will be repeated. Restrictions from the outside which refuse the individual the right to exercise his own judgment provoke resistance. Excess and abuse by the individual can be curbed only by the exercise of his judgment. Thus the fundamental principle of Control is that the drinker, NOT the drink is the problem! So we ask you, the majority of the citizens of this Province, to join us in making the system of Control work, by yourselves observing the law and by your example encouraging others to observe it. You will agree with us, that, far from helping temperance, harm is done by those dry extremists whose method of approach and propaganda ignore fundamental principles of human nature.
