Let it only keep fine for another day! What he said went. When it was posâ€" sible, he let the improvised sail carry them, if it would keep them on their course. But when rowing was necesâ€" sary then they must row. He drove them to the oars with scorching words. He tied an oar into the rowlock and rowed himself with his one hand. Everyone had rheumatic pains in their limbs and some were suffering acute abdominal pain as well. The fifty pounds of condensed milk they had had on board had gone, and they were reduced to biscuit only. Salt had cut down their ration of that, and water they had as they could get it, from the frequent rain. CHAPTER XXVI. "LOOK, PS LAND!" "Only another eight hours!" Desâ€" perate eyes gazed into the northâ€"east hoping to see land. There was also the problem of Kelly; the bullet had to be extracted from his shoulder, a job which Mr. Mills underâ€" took with the aid of his wife, who had been a nurse. His nerve seemed to have gone, he rambled and whined incoâ€" herently, concentrating his attack on Trennie, but he seemed to bear no malice against Salt for naving defendâ€" ed himself. After a hesitation of surprise, the man with the key fitted it in the door and opened it. The locker yawned black and wide. "Is there any rum in it?" asked Salt. Two of the men searched diligently then shook their heads. "No!" A disâ€" appointed murmur went up, and a boot kicked down the locker door. "Who told you there was rum in it?" The chorus of angry growls was imâ€" mediate, "Kelly!" It was Kelly said so. He said Trennie and Higgs was holding out on us!" Next day, Salt was in command, and Trennie, reduced to a state of nervous breakdown, had only sufficient strength to take a sight and check the position of the boat. Kelly brought up short, staggered and went down in the bilge, writhing with a bullet in his shoulder. The men, accepting the ineviable, utterly sobered now, stared aghast. A tall lad with matted red hair, cried out: "We‘re going mad, that‘s what it We‘re all goin‘ mad!" Trennie, sitting up on a side seat, panting and holding his battered head said "Curse you! Curse you all!l" and burst into tears. He seemed to have arrived at a state beyond holding out on anybody.

"KeHy bashed him," said one. Somebody held the lantern over the quartermaster‘s face.

The engine will go in anâ€" other hour. We‘ve no strength left in our arms!" Standing off as best they could from this appalling prospect with the engine running on the last of the fuel in the tanks.they nosed their way south. Salt‘s reckoning was that the chain of rocky heights they could see in the southâ€"east had its termination in False Cape Horn. None of them had any clear knowledge of how far they were from the nearest settlement supposing they survived the dangers of an immeâ€" diateée landing. Their best course, therefore was to the Beagle Channel via Ponsonby round the False Cape and make for Ssound. Before them was a coast of sheer cliffs, of waterâ€"falls bursting in clouds before they reached the sea; of mounâ€" tains towering behind, a shore, in fact more inhospitable and dangerous than the sea from which they had come. CHAPTER XXVII AN INHOSPITABLE SHORE "YVes, it‘s land," said Mrs. Mills, sryâ€" ing and clutching Madam Dupre‘s clawlike hand. "It‘s landâ€"we‘re safe!" Two hours later the hopes that had risen so high gave way to new anxieâ€" ties. tops blue look!" Straining their eyes, in the northâ€" west they could see them, the snowy tops of mountains glimmering in the For a fixed, speechless moment they stared at one another. And then from further forward came the voice of one of the A.B.‘s shouting wildly. Hoarse voices asked on all sides, "What‘s up? What‘s happened?" The AB. was standing up, pointing the boat mounting a swell, lifted him into outline against the sky. "You were right," Sailt said gently, as Bridget gave the cup back tohim. "Sorry I went for you. You should have told me before, not given your ration away. You need it, don‘t you, quite as much as the rest of us?" Bridget staring at him, began to tremble ail over. Her eyes filled with tears, her lips shook and she could say nothing. He gazed back with a look in his eyves, questioning, poignant, as though something about her moved him to the depth of his being. added. Salt crouched down beside Grimson. "she‘s got so terribly thin," Bridâ€" get said. "She‘s lost more weight than the rest of us. You said you had a little condensed milk left in reserve for emergencis. I think she needs it as much as any of us could." Salt nodded, and scrambled his weary way forward again; he returned a few minutes later with a tin cup of conâ€" densed milk and water. "Cheer up!" he said to Grimson. "Here‘s something good for you!" Bridget put it to Grimson‘s lips. Grimson opened lack lustre eyes and looked about her, saw the cup, and drank with a desperate greed. Bridget passed her hand over her eyves m a dazed kind of way. All she said" was "Shouldn‘t have done that. Bad for discipline." "Tll or not we all have to keep going. If you give your ration â€" away, then I shall have to give you an extra one, and that‘s unfair to everybody!" His peremtory voice lashed at her. Memâ€" ories bhuried beneath ten days intolerâ€" able suspense rushed upon her. Het nerves obeyed an ungovernable imâ€" pulse. His face, glowering a few feet from her, infuriated her She struck at it wildly. | ‘The smack startled everyone‘s atâ€" tention. Salt turned white, drew back without a word and clambered forward. Mrs. Garforth was saying weakly: "Bridget, how can you Bridget!" Joyce clutched her arm with weak fingers, shaking her. "How idare you hit him, how dare you hit him?" It was half an hour later when Salt came aft again, and spoke to her. "I‘m sorry I spoke to you as I did." "We‘re all getting to the end of our tether," Bridget replied, moistening her cracked, dry lips. with nervous strain. "I didn‘t want it. She said she was still hungry." "Well, kindly keep your own ration yourseXd. We have only a few pounds of biscuit left; I can give out only so much to each of you." "Grimson is ill, she needs it more than I do." Bridget hated his overâ€" bearing manner. The despairing rage of nervous strain had hold of them both. Look! It‘s land! Gor blimeyâ€" I think Grimson is really ill," she ‘"Northern war work conveners who attended a meeting at the Y.W.CA. yesterday were Mrs. A. C. Fairlinger of New Liskeard, Mrs, H.

Meeting In the local and personal column of The Northern News of Kirkland Lakeo last week there was the following item of interest here:â€" ‘The worship service was followed by two short talks on camp by Gerald Doughty and Dorothy Taylor. They discussed Camp Lorraine, its location, surroundings and its activities and urged young people to attend this summer, if even for a weekâ€"end. A short business session and a singâ€"song followed the talks on camp and the group indulged in a lunch of untoasted marshmallows. The meeting closed with the singing of taps. YpP.U.

The guest speaker will sung and the Christian Culture conâ€" vener, Helge Hongisto, led in prayer, About 45 young people of the Timâ€" mins United Church YP.U. cnijoyed an outing Wednesday evening to the north side of the town, where a regular meeting was conducted by the Chrisâ€" tian Culture committee, Upon arrival at the site, the group engaged in a period of recreation, the games being planned by Peggy Shaw. The »young people then grouped around in a holâ€" low in the rocks for a worship service, Although the stiff breeze and the abâ€"» sence of a camp fire detracted from the atmosphere somewhat, the service was successful, Several hymns were Y.P.U. Rally to be Held at S. Porcupine on Wednesday But Grimson was up, and was on the rock:; the men had pulledMadame Dupre after her. The other women had already jumped. Salt and Bridâ€" get were still in the boat, Salt had scrambled forward to get the last of the biscuits from the locker. Up went the boat again. "Jump!" they screamed to Bridget. But she hesitated, waiting for Salt. He lifted the bag of biscuit and flung it on to the rock. The boat went down again, filling with water through a rent in the keel; it was calight by another billow veering sideways, tossâ€" ed in the air, and washed back into the turbulent channel. Another _ wave caught it abeam, tossed it up and turnâ€" ed it over. The ablest of them, as well as the wounded Kelly, were already leaping and scrambling on to the surface of the rock, beyond which lay other rocks and a clear way to the stony beach. again the boat fell back. Bridget was still in it trying to help Grimson to her feet. With Salt‘s help she pushed Grimson over the side, and the quarâ€" termaster caught her and dragged her The side of the boat, fiying up, caught Grimson‘s foot, crushing it against the sharp surfaced rock. Grimson scream=â€" ed, and Bridget screamed too. "Jump‘" roared Salt. "Jump for the rock everybody!" They gave up the struggle to keep her off shore and turned her head with the race of waters rushing in through the rocks towards the mouth of the inlet. Muscles straining, lips biting back cries of fear, the men struggled to keep the boat in clear water. Then they were through the breakers; there was a breathing space while the tide hurried them on toward the mouth of the inlet. But soon it was obvious that they were being thrown irresistibly towards the south shore of the inlet where the waves were crashing on rocks set like black teeth in a foaming jaw. But tr:ere was nothing that engine or oars could do against that drivâ€" ing wind and a seven knot tideâ€"race. The sea flung the boat against a smooth side of rock, she almost capâ€" sized, then fell back and drifted in the trought of the seas, alongside the rock, waiting for the next breaker. It came sweeping in, lifted the boat level with the rock again. "It‘s up to you," said Salt, only too well: aware of the awful chances of trusting to the sea. "Do as you think best." "We can beach the boat and rest," said Col. Kinglake, showing that he too sided with the men. *"If we can‘t get to anywhere by land we can take to the sea again." "Keep her clear! Keep her clear!" the men‘s voices howled in the wind like a cry of despair. (To Be Continued)
