<"*SALADA" ~â€"â€" ~And your own sense of â€" taste will convinece you. : The cries of the laboring crew echoed hoarsely from the distraught lake. Down the troubled wind soundâ€" ed a short staccato bark as the moâ€" tor coughed and caught. The life boat was making hard progress against unwilling water. Norman clawed upward to a shelf or sand. Winded, beaten, wet, impotent, Ae glared at the bowling lake. He heard Captain Parish‘scream a hard chesty order as the gale dropped for a second. Men obeyed his voice. Norâ€" man sobbed. Standing numb but seâ€" cure on the gusty beach, the son of Gustaf Erickson watched the coast guard crew go out to its dangerous duty. Back in the hot,. steamy signal house, Sue tSocking clanged the coal seoop against the boiler door, stuffed the firebox with fuel, and slapped the door shut vigorously. She had pulled on a pair of sooty white gloves to protect her hards from the heat. Squinting like her father, she read the steam gage. "Thai‘ll do," she commented aloud. "I can leave it ten minutes . . . I can go look!" She tightened her oilskins and ran out into the storm. The whistle snored in her ears as she closed the door . . . two short, one long. two short . .. a minute‘s breath, then two short, one long, two short. . Her fathers‘ lantern‘ jiggled far up the beach. The skiff had not yet got off? Once. exerting her eyes. she made out distinctly the wrecked boat on Blind Man‘s Teeth; a small boat. or one lying close to. the water, She could see no lights: then a masthead lantern thrashed up. was bright for an instant, and faded. Anxionsly she splashed through the water toward Steve Sutton‘s fish dock. She could see her father‘s lanâ€" tern standing now on the sand two hundred yards ahead; Igures, bendâ€" ing and struggling. passed hurriedly between her and its light. She realized that they were launching Steve‘s boat. It was a mighty frail boat for such a sea. And Steve‘s cars! Not the kind of oas a decent sailor would keep on hand for rough weather. And only two men pulling. She ran faster .. . she might get there in time to help push them off. Sheâ€" was very angry, 5o angry that the blowing spray did not cool her face. She felt sure of Norman Erickson now. He had come in terriâ€" fied, sobbing of a dog. Her memory worked savagely. His own father, Ed Baker, Sutton, Parish, every man she knew except the keeper, had termed him a coward. She herself had called him one the first night. Only once since then had he shown himsclf at all brave, two weeks ago that was. when she upset the keroâ€" sene. Bat it had been fire then, not storm. Where was he now?. Out with the coastguard? Going with P@rish would redeem him a little, but not entirely. He had bawled at a dog. She saw the skif put off. She was too late. Turning, she hurried back toward the boilers. There lay the dog in.theâ€" sand. Yes, a dead dog. _ Already half buried. _ She stooped down, soaking her skirts in the water, anid straightened ont its legs, patting its wet hair, that felt silky under the gentle touch. "Poor fellow!" she said pityingly. "Good old man‘! You didn‘t haye a chance!" She panted on quickly. Where was that Norman? Her father yanked an ‘Tresh from the gardens‘ TEA She could not see the two men‘ lneanpg,_ with short oars, just ofâ€"|;, lshore.

She puuswl‘ for breath, once more looked out , Einlo the vast, black lake. I Captain Stocking and Steve Sulluu‘ rowed doggedly. They had to drop back once during a gust. The nuxi‘ stroke | forward theyâ€" cighted the wreck. She was rolling very lil'_!.-i and lying on her port side. A small | vessel. A yacht, a power yacht. The} skiff thundered against her. ‘ The keeper bobbed forward and gripped her rail (He bellowed ab ruptly. a sailor‘s command in his voice. Aboard the other boat a man cried back. "Quick!" Stocking roured move, quick!" He blinked i'ater from his eyes. He could see the craft better now. She had been hard handled! The decking tipped like a roof, built high forward after the manner of pleasure vessels. . The rurfpi! at the stern wallowed a foot under water. Wind or waves had tormm away her awnâ€" ings. Canvas strips Happed acruss the bow like wet lashes. A head poked â€"over the side.. Steve Sutton, inbending from bis seat, gripped the man‘s â€" shoulders, | pulled and elid lown suddenly with a lig body sprawled | across him. . The skiff pitched. "Where‘s the test?" Stocking eried "I‘in alone," the man answered. He slumped between the thwarts, his left leg trailing overside. Sutton rearhed â€" forward and pulled him wdown, until he lay on Mis back in the bottom of the halfâ€"filled boat. ffe iace "No creiw?" the keeper shouted in his ear. f "Jnst my dog. .. ." "He‘s drownded!" Stocking yelled "Lay.still." He refeased the rail of the eapâ€" sfzed yacht. "Sutton‘s skif, flung in a fresh gust, tumbled along a bolling whitecap. It wrenched logzily with its load of water and three men ‘almanl. Captain Stocking grunted. â€" ‘Theres Parish!" _ . ‘ A sharp beam of light speared the Tog. The crew of the coast gnard, irnllinx in their lifeâ€"boat a hundred |ta(hnms off the rocks, were searchâ€" ing for the wreck. "Late." the ‘keeper snorted.
