After breakfast | had another un
snvlsDle experience When I had Bn
Ished washing the dishes I cleaned the
cabin stove and carried the ashes up
mi deck to empty them. Wolf Larsen
•ad Henderson were standing near the
wheel, deep In conversation I passed
them and flung the ashes over the side
to windward. The wind drove them
back, and not only over me but over
Henderson and Wolf Larsen. The
next Instant the latter kicked me vio-
lently. as a cur Is kicked I reeled
•way from him and leaned agalnsi the
cabin In a half-falntlng condition. But
Wolf I„arsen did not follow me up
Brushing the ashes from his clothes,
he had resumed his conversation with

had gone Into Wolf Larsen's state
room to put It to rights and make the
bed Against the wall, near the head
of the bunk, was a rack filled wltb
books. I glanced over tbem. noting
with astonishment such names as
Shakespeare. Tennyson. Poe and lie
Qulnoey There were scientific works
too among which were represented
men such as Tyndall. Proctor and Dsr

represented, and I remarked Bulflnclt .

and Johnsons "Natural Hlstr./" In
two large volumea. Then th/^e were
a number of grammars, such as Met
calf's and Reed and Kellogg a; and I
smiled as I saw a copy of "The Dean s
English.'
I could not reconcile these books
with the man from what I had seen
^f him. and I wondered If be could
possibly read them. But when I came
to make the bed I found, between the !
blankets, dropped apparently as If he
had sunk off to sleep, a complete
Browning, the Cambridge edition. It
was open at "In a Balcony." and I
noticed, here and there, passages un-
derlined In pencil. Further letting

unmasked, though at rare moments It
played at doing so.
"I read Immortality In your eyes."
I answered, dropping the "sir"—an ex-
periment. for I thought the Intlmacr
of the conversation warranted It.
He took no notice.
"Then to what end?" he demanded
"If 1 am Immortal—why?"
I faltered. How could I explain mi
idealism to this man? How could I
put Into speech a something felt
something like the strains of music
heard In sleep, a something that con
vlnced yet transcended utterance?
"What do you believe, then?" I
countered.
"I believe that life Is a mess" he
answered promptly, it Is like a yeast
a ferment, a thing that moves and
may move for a minute, an hour, a
year, or a hundred years, but that In
the end will cease to move. The big
eat the little that they may continue
to move, the strong eut the weak that
they may retain their strength. The
lucky eat the most and move the
longest, that is all. What do you make
of those things?"
He swept his arm In an Impatient
gesture toward a number of the sail
ors who were working on some kind
of rope atuff amidships.
"They move; so does the Jellyfish
move. They move In order to eat In
order that they may keep moving
There you have It. They live for
(hat It is the nature of Ufa to live and
move, to want to live and move. If It
were not for this, life would be dead
It Is because of tbls life that Is In you
that you dream of your Immortality
The life thai la in you la alive and
wants to go on being alive forever
Bah! An eternity of pigglshness!**
He abruptly turned on his heel and
started forward. He stopped at the
break of the poop and called ine to
lifei.
"Hy the way. how much was It that
Cooky got sway with?" he asked.
"One hundred and eighty-five dol
lars. sir,'' I answered
He nodded his bead. A moment
later, as I started down the companion
stairs to lay the table for dinner. I
heard him loudly cursing suuie men
amidships.
CHAPTER VI.
Hy the following morning the storm
had blown Itself quite out and the
ihost was Tolling slightly on a calm
<ea without a breath of wind. The
men wore all on deck and busy pre
paring their various boats for the ten-
don's hunting. There are seven boats
aboard, the captain's dinghy, the six
which the hunters will use. Three s

steerer, compose a boat's crew On
board the schooner the boat pullers
and stoerers are the crew The hunt
era. too, are supposed to be In com-
mand of the watches, subject, always,
to the orders of Wolf Larsen.
All this, and more. I have learned
The Ghost Is considered the fusteat
schooner In both the San Francisco
and Victoria fleets. In fact, she was
once a private yacht, and was built
for speed. Johnson was telling me
about her In a short chat I had with
h'm during yesterday's second dog
watrh He spoke enthusiastically,
with the love for a fine craft such as
some men feel for horses
Kvery man aboard, with the exeep
tlon of Johansen. who Is rather over-
come by his promotion, seems to have
an excuse for having sailed on the
Ghost. Half of the men forward are
deep-water sailors, and their excuse is
that they did not know anything about
her or her captain. And those who do
know whisper that the hunters, while
excellent shots, were so notorious tor
their quarrelsome and rascally pro-
clivities that they could not sign on
any decent schooner.
I have made the acquaintance of an-
other one of the crew—Louis, be is

Scotia Irishman, and a very sociable
fellow, prone to talk as long as he can

should do much of the work that is

system would leave the packer free to
devote his attention to securing a good
