Awakening next morning Drake hears Captain Stevens of the Orontes denounce him as a "dude." Angry, Drake sneaks aboard the Or- ontes as one of the crew, but is recog- nized by Stevens and scundly trounced. He is put down on the ship's articles as Boy, thereby shaming him before Mary Manning, laughter of the own- er, who is a passenger on the Orontes. In the forecastle Joe Bunting has made an enemy of Tony, another sailor, by throwing him out of 2 bunk in favor of Drake. Tony attacks Joe. Drake steps in and proceeds to ad- minister a beating to Tony. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER IX.--(Cont'd.) "Bli'me! Th' lad can handle his- self!" yelped Joe, dancing around the combatants. "Aw, give im th' knee, Tony!" ad- vised Tubbs, disgustedly. "I ¢'d wal- lop th' pair o' yuh!" "Never min' 'im, lad, I'm your man!" shouted Joe, pushing a pudgy fist up close to Tubbs' nose.- "Lookin' fer a fight, are yuh?" "Go take a jump at yerself! Who's --enlingy to you?" growled Tubbs. y slipped between Drake's arms beaten him, and done it well. Better still, he had done it with ease. He was hardening. Lx * * * * In the pink shaded first flush of a fine weather dawn the great clipper awoke to another day's work. All dripping with dew, she was; lovely with mantling light. Drake carried his brass rags aft. The Doctor and Tony bent over the grindstone for- ward, putting razor edges on two butcher knives. A sheep was to be killed for fresh meat, and Tony was to lend a hand. He and the Doctor got along very well, A terrific cluck- ing in the chicken coops forward brought the Doctor aft, running, the stewarc popped out of the maindeck door, and the second mate ran to the rail; but none of them were smart enough. There were eggs for the halfdeck coffee again. Drake grinned as he went up the poop ladder. He had been an apprentice once. He fell to work upon his brasswork, feeling as if the world might yet be his. A good fight won is ever a tonic to a real man. A fight well won is more than tonic; it is inspiration. Drake hummed a song. Young Mr. Adams stood forward, giving orders to the bosun. Sailors were getting out brooms and buckets, squegees, and hose; Chips rigged the head pump. Phe log line twirled merrily; the blue SHE STOOD A MOMENT, INHALING THE MORNING'S FRESHNESS to the deck and crouched there on hands and knees shaking his head foolishly. Drake stood over him, un- marked except for a blue eye and a scratched cheek, the result of an at- tack at gouging; but Tony stayed there, shaking his head, a thin trickle of blood reddening the deck; and Tubbs and Sims grabbed hold of him and dragged him out on deck to wash him off. Joe seized Drake by the hand, and dragged him over to the bunk, where _ 2 filled his own precious little nose-warmer with rich plug tobacco and handed it to him in proud silence. "Good lad, yer a good lad. J allus said so," said old Bill Gadgett," light- ing a scrap of paper for Drake's pipe. "Better watch aht fer 'is knife, chum," warned Herbert Oats from his top bunk. "Them Dagos ud stick a feller as soon as look at 'im!" Drake laughed. Other quiet sailor- men laughed, too. Herbert Oats was believed to have cause for dislike of Tony. Tony had stolen his girl's ring, ,.or something. But Herbert was not a fighting man, so long as he had a choice. He was a good warner; pro- phet of evil. "Shut yer 'ead, y' lop-eared crow!" growled Nick 'Cooinbs. "Ton's on'y killin' sheeps after this. Keep under cover, me son." es But when all was over, and eight bells struck, and the first watch was set for the night, Drake rolled into his bunk and sighed blissfully. He had fought and won. Tony might not be the hardest man to beat, but he had seas flashed into creaming white as the ship crushed them, turned into lacy blue and white as she left them, and turned again into deepest azure beyond the end of the log line. And the big red sun peeped up. Then, to challenge the sun, Mary Manning stepped from the companion- way, rosy as the dawn, sweet as the sun-warmed air. She stood a moment inhaling the morning's freshness, re- velling in the dancing glints of the rising sun upon the waters, then glanced aft. She seemed to be hesi- tating. Mr. Adams greeted her with a smiling good morning. "You have never taken your trick yet, Miss Manning," he said. "You won't get a better chance. She steers like a yacht now. : Want to try?" "T'd like to," she said quickly. She looked around, ail over the deck. "I hope the captain won't disrate you for letting me," she laughed. "I will trust in your good word," Mr. Adams replied gallantly. Ed = % * * * Mary took the wheel, and the helms- man stood by until the second mate was satisfied that she could steer as| well as the seaman. She sang softly, in a full throated contralto that held the timbre of the ocean itself. Drake moved from brass to brass. He set down his brickdust and oil tin on the lee grating as she sang the last lines of the verse: "Glad, and glad, was the sailor lad, as he steered and sang at his wheel." And when she began to sing the refrain, Drake unconsciously sang in harmony: "Only another day to wander, oniy another night to roam; Then safe at last, the harbor past--" She stopped abruptly, coloring in embarrassment. And Drake went on and finished the verse as he rubbed cily dust over the brass boss of the wheel. "IT beg your pardon, Miss Manning. The beauty of the morning must have made me forget that I am just a dirty little ship's boy." CHAPTER X. Drake glanced forward. He polish- ed away assiduously. The brasswork received much benefit from the mo- mentary excitement that flooded him. He tingled with the urge to boldly tell her everything. But the back view cf Mr. Adams warned him that perhaps some other time might be better. The second mate stood watching something going on in the waist; the skipper's voice was heard down there, too. Cap- tain Stevens was anxious about the skinning of that murdered mutton. A few slashes from inexpert blades would utterly ruin th2 sheep pelt for a rug; and the skipper expected to make a decided hit when he gave that snowy, silky skin to Mary. "You wore a blue velvet frock, and a silly pot-shaped hat that hid your ears and almost smothered your face," he said softly. He polished away. at his brass, but glanced up and grinned, to see her eyes widen, and her parted teeth gleam through lips slightly open- ed in . little gasp of surprise. A slow smile broke over her face, and she raised her brows. "And you were in a beastly temper," she retorted. "You slammed the gate! I knew you were no ship's boy. Now tell me what on earth you have em- barked on this erazy escapade for." "Is it so crazy?" he asked softly, and looked full into her blue eyes with so immuch meaning in his own glowing black ones that the blue eyes fell, the deep -color flooded her neck and throat, and she turned her face away. Drake bent over his brasswork, polishing like mad, chuckling happily. And the big ship swung wide of her course, for Mary's attention was far, far off. The main skysail flapped and went aback; the royals began to shake; the flying jib rattled its hanks and thumped its sheet blocks. Mary spun the big wheel; Drake sprang to help her; but tie mischief was done. The skipper came running up the ladder, his face portending ill for the culprit. He stoppel and stared when he saw the helmsa.an; then a sarcastic sneer twisted his face and he curtly told the second mats te-set-a man to the wheel. Drake had got the shin to her course by the tima the seaman relieved 'he wheel; he picked up his brasswork tin snd moved to the skylight rods. (To be continued.) i...
