SYNOPSIS
The story opens with the Introduction
©f John Stephens adventurer a Maasa-
ehusetts man marooned by author1tls at
Valparaiso Chile Being interested In
mining operations In Bolivia he was de-
nounced by Chile as an insurrectionist
and aa a consequence was hiding At his
hotel his attention was attracted by an
Englishman and a young woman
Stephens rescued the young woman from
a drunken officer He was thanked by
her Admiral of the Peruvian navy con-
fronted Stephens told him that war had
been declared between Chile and Peru
and offered him the office of captain He
desired that that night the Esmeralda a
Chilean vessel should be captured
Stephens accepted the commission
Stephens met a motley crew to which he
was assigned He gave there Anal In-
structions They boarded the vessel They
successfully captured the vessel supposed
to be the Esmeralda through strategy
Capt Stephens gave directions for the de-
torture of the craft He entered the cab-
n and discovered the English woman
and her maid Stephens quickly learned
the wrong vessel had been captured
It was Ixrd Darlington's private yacht
the lord's wife and maid being aboard
He explained the situation to her lady-
ship Then First Mate Tuttle laid bare
the plot saying that the Sea Queen had
been taken In order to go to the Antarc-
tic circle Tuttle explained that on a
former voyage he had learned that the
Donna Isabel was loet In ITS! He had
found It frosen in a huge case of Ice
on an island and contained much gold
Stephens consented to be the captain
of the expedition He told ladr
Darlington She was greatly alarmed
but expressed confidence in him The
Sea Queen encountered a vessel in the
fog Stephens attempted to communicate
This caused a fierce struggle and he was
overcome Tuttle finally squaring the alt-
nation Then the 8e Queen headed south
again Under Tuttle's guidance the ves-
sel made progress toward Its goal
De Nova the mate told Stephens that he
believed Tuttle now acting a skipper
Insane because of hts queer actions
Stephens was awakened by crashing of
glass He saw Tuttle in the grip of a
spasm of religious mania and overcame
him The sailor upon regaining his senses
was taken UL Tuttle committed suicide
bv shooting Upon vote of the crew
Stephens assumed the leadership and the
men decided to continue the treasure
hunt the islands being supposed to be
only S') miles distant Tuttle was buried
In the sea Lady Darlington pronouncing
the service Stephens awaking from
sleep saw the ghost supposed to have
formed the basis for Tuttle religious
mania Upon advice of Lady Darlington
Stephens started to probe the ghost
He came upon IJeut 8am he the drunk-
en officer he had humbled In Chile He
found that at Sanchei' Inspiration En-
gineer Mcknight played "ghost" to scare
the men Into giving up the quest Steph-
ens annoonced that the Sea Queen was at
the spot where Tuttle's quest was sup-
posed to be The crew was anxious to go
on in further search De Nova and Steph-
ens conquered them in a flt fight lady
Darlington thanked him The Sea Queen
Started northward
CHAPTER XIX— Continued
“They've bed enough" I said breath-
ing bard "Go back on the bridge De
Nova Now you lads get busy If
one of you soldier or talks back to
me again he'll go to bis bunk for tbe
rest of this voyage Get up Anderson
and atop that growling! You fellow
may as well learn Drat at last that I
am commanding tbe Sen Queen and
that we are homeward bound"
Within the space of five minutee I
had tbe whole gang at It a profane
shuffling crew enough yet carrying
out my orders after a fashion and
ufflclently cowed to be obedient At
last I dispatched the starboard watch
below and leaving De Nova in charge
of the bridge itarted back to the com-
panion To my surprise Lady Darling-
ton muffled to tbe eye still etood
half protected In tbe open door of tbe
chart-house
“What In tbe world are you doing
b-re In ail tbia snow and blow?" 1
questioned
"Waiting for you" ahe explained
her eyes glowing "I could not go to
tbe cabin until I knew you bad really
won 1 It true that we are home-
ward bound?"
"Yea" I anawered not altogether
bappy over her evident pleasure "The
Sea Queen baa attained her farthest
southing Are you glad?"
"Glad!" Her gloved bind sought
mine "In all my life 1 wai never hap-
pier" These Impulsive words natural aa
they were nevertheless hurt me and
perhaps my face exhibited IL Her
eyes fell
"You cannot know bow much I have
suffered on this voyage" ah said re-
gretfully “Only a woman could My
heart crle out for relief but It Is not
because I with to lose any friendship
formed on board"
Yt that la wbat being homeward
bound muat Inevitably mean"
Her long laabe were uplifted dis-
closing tbe depths of those gray eyes
"Not with me Mr Btepbena I am
not a woman to forget"

Caught Lady Darlington Mora Closely to me Helping Her Climb the
Inverted 8taira
vaa tbe rattle of blocks aloft tbe
thousand noise emitted by tbe strug-
gling fabric under foot I see tbe swirl
of anow tbe crested seas boiling in
madness tbe gleam of pursuing ice-
fields the towering pinnacle of giant
bergs overhanging our mast-heads
the flying cloud and tbe settling
down about us of tbe ghostly frost fog
1 feel tbe wild plunge down Into tbe
hollow the sickening staggering ef-
fort to climb up tbe dlzxy balancing
upon tha creit and that awful drop
again Into tbe bell below!
No man on board will ever know
bow we made It bow we ever found
passage through those wind-lashed
channels bow we ever kept upright
under tbe pounding of that sea how
the Sea Queen ever shook ber trem-
bling decks free from tbe ton of ice
and water and rote staggering to tbe
crest Once our engine broke and
for two hours w rolled helplessly
while McKnlght and tbe Chilean tin-
kered at the damaged machinery and
the great wave burled ui and
(mashed the charthouse Into frag-
ments Once the rudder-cbalni be-
came fouled with Ice and we swung
Into the trough of tbe eea burled over
until our lower yard trailed In tb
water and half the yacht ablvered be-
neath tbe smother we banging on for
our live drenched and buffeted by
tbe waves Tb jib-boom snapped Ilk
a pipestem and a huge ugly bole was
ripped out of tbe forward bulwarks
L'p to tbe neck In Icy water we
chopped away tha raffle and flung It
overboard Ouatafaon abrleklng wild-
ly for help went with tbe Utter while
hi mates bore Symes below groaning
from a broken leg
Merelful heavens bow that lea cam
down pursuing us Uke tb very Fiend!
Once It pressed so closely against our
quarter that tb sea rebounding from
off It fronL boarded o sweeping eft
In e vaat wall It caught Dad open-
ing tbe companion door hurled him
smothering backward and flooded tbe
cabin a toot deep In Icy water Yet
w held to IL our eyes aching our
Ilmbn frown our oilskin stiff with
Ice-tbe exposed fleab of our faces on
restating frostbite bruised by tb
shocks half dead from fatlgua dlixy
from tbo battle But It wa no
manihlp which saved la It waa a
merciful Providence for nt time tb
smother was so thick w ran Into U
blindly not daring to broach to with
nit that Ic after us drlvaa by tb
wind and not knowing wbat was ten
yard ahead or ton yards behind
During all that time I scarcely left
tb deck although Do Nova served bis
watch on tb bridge In tb flying aprey
Dade fed me aa best be could and
wbat brief snatebee of sleep I caught
were on tb divan In tb cabin my Icy
clothe drying on my body 1 saw
nothing of tb women there was no
tlma no opportunity I doubt If eith-
er could bnv kept upright amid tb
awful pitching of the yacht for 1 was
obliged myeelf to creep from on

In taking them food— cold provender
for tbe galley was wave-lashed tbe
cook driven below — although bow tbe
lad ever managed It ia a mystery and
he n ported that Celeste clung to her
bunk sick and frightened but that
Lady Darlington waa about and
dressed whenever be went in
8ome time during the third day the
wind bad blown Itself out or else we
had bsen driven beyond tbe sweep of
It Anyhow It died down Into faint
puffs but tbe sea remained heavy the
fog thickening as the gale ceased
This curtain coupled with the sparse
light there was left tbe deck to
dark that we attempted little clearing
up merely pointing the yacht' nose
more directly northward at half-speed
trusting tbe Almighty to furnish us
with clear water Indeed there wet
nothing else to do with that Ice-pack
back of us and the fierce seas pound-
ing our poop Besides I had come to
the end of my endurance and when
De Nova came limping forward hang-
ing to tbe life-line to take bis watch
I crept below more dead than alive
and clawed my way across the cabin
Lady Darlington stood braced In her
doorway yet for tbe life of me I
could not speak although I tried— my
bead nodded on my shoulders and I
fell forward acroas my bunk asleep
before I even struck tbe mattress
Dade said she made him pull off my
boots and loosen my muffler stand-
ing over him until It waa done
It was not sleep— It waa more like
death for I never etlired or knew
anything I lay aaactly aa I fell utter-
ly Insensible to either noise or motion
It was Dade’s vigorous (baking that
finally aroused me nor did he desist
until he had me sitting up In the buuk
my ayes wide open
"What tlma Is It Dadr
"Two o'clock air"
"Morning r
"No elr afternoon but tb fog I
that thick outald you can't your
own note"
"Than I'v been asleep for six hours
Why didn't you call me earlier I"
'Mr De Novt told me to let yon lie
Ir I guess tb lady aakad him to
do It"
I bad pulled on my boots and was
standing up gating out through tha
door Into tb cabin where Dad (till
remained watching to see that I did
not go back to aleep again Suddenly
there cam a tremendous shock which
lent m sprawling forward and flung
Dade headlong egalnat tb walL A
1 struck tb deck n thunderous crash
and roar eounded forward tb stern
of tbe vessel seemed to spring upward
Into tb air sliding us both down
against the front of tb cabin In-
itantly there followed two muffled re-
ports accompanied by n further up-
tilting of tbo stern Everything loos
cam tumbling down upon us and ns
I polled myeelf to my knees I found
tbo deck elentlng upward Ilk the
Keep eld of a bUL
"Ob Lord sir wbat'e been doner

likely Jump now and help me get
out the women"
Tbe awful sickening poise of tb
stricken boat swinging stern-up to tbe
motion of tbe waves was enough to
shatter the courage of any man and
I could read speechless terror in
Dade's face Yet the lad stayed
with me and together we clambered
up tbe Incline of tbe deck gripping at
tbe table to help us Tbe door of tha
after-cabin was either locked or had
become stuck I did not wait to learn
which but buret It open with n swifL
heavy kick Tbe light streamed In
upon a scene of chaos— overturned
furniture and broken glass Celeste
lay In one corner screaming hysteric-
ally Lady Darlington was upon ber
knees bolding herself partially erect
by clasping tbe brass rail of tbe bed
"Quick!" I cried before either could
speak "Gather up all the warm cloth-
ing you can reach We must get on
deck Here let me help you!”
We were scarcely a minute at the
task and tbe four of us laden with
apparel slid and scrambled down the
slope of cabin floor to tbe companion-
step Here I caught Lady Darlington
more closely to me helping ber climb
the Inverted stairs Her face was pal
ber eyes fearless
“What Is It? Wbat has happened?"
"I hardly know myself only that
we have hit something and are badly
damaged"
It was like night on deck the en-
veloping fog so dense that n human
form was indistinguishable five feet
away Fortunately but little wind
stirred and the sea bid gone down I
coutd distinguish De Nova’ voice a
be Bang out a sharp order I hollowed
my bands and balled A dim smudge
leaned over tbe rail above and peered
down
"Was zat you monsieur?"
“Ay with tbe women Wbat I IL
De Nova a total smash?"
"By gar out! Ze whole bow cave In
te deck crush' to te main-hatch se
after-bulkhead was xe only sing w'at
hold us up Bacre It not hold long"
I grasped the entire situation In-
stantly realizing tbe desperate need
of baste of cool intelligent command
"Send a man down hero to help
Dade tote up provisions Jump live-
ly now get biscuits and canned
gooda my lade and whatever blankets
you can find Hustle for your lives!
Now De Nova reach over and help
the women up — easy that's rlghL”
I held tightly to my lady cltDglng to
the rail as I crept across The black
shapeless figures of several men 1
whose faces 1 could not distinguish In
the gloom were clambering about tb
longboat
"Everything fitted?"
"Ay ay sir"
"What have you got?"
“Oars mast canvas and fresh wa-
ter" I reached forward to assure myeelf
that tha rudder bad been properly
shipped and tbe plug securely
driven in
“Ail right here come tbe provi-
sions Dump them In anywhere lads
Yes go back for another load but
for God's sake hurry! De Nova help
me stow tbe women gently but
quickly now Stand by all of you
Her is tbe rest of tb provender
Now tumble In lads and let fall Ease
her off ease ber off you foole!"
Tbe black smudge dropped down-
ward and leaning far over tb slant-
ing rail 1 could see it strike the water
and ride free The eodden wrecked
bull beneath me rose and fell with a
heavy sickening motion which brought
tbe heart up Into my throaL
"Are those all tb living men left
Mr De Nova?" I called dowa for the
first time realizing bow few they were
“Zey wa all I know"
Another vole spoke gruff from ex-
citement “The fellows for'ard bad no c banco
sir alt alive are here"
I awuag over tb elds and shot
down the line Into th boat
"Cast off theo Oars meal the
yacht Is going under"
With n (Ingle sweep of tb hastily
plied blade w were beyond night of
tb plunging ball yet w bed not
taken half n doien stroke before w
war tossed roughly by n sudden con-
vulsion of the see
"My Ood ehe'i gone!" shouted
voice forward
All 1 coaid distinguish within th
boat were th two women nest me nt
