1118 -heart was full of bitterness
They would not even give him a
chance to explain Evelyn Radway had
changed utterly He bad imagined
that from her a spirit of fairness
might be expected always
"We ought not to have let him go"
Todd said when they heard the bulk-
head close "We ought to have held
him as a hostage"
Mrs Radway thought she had tome
to the popular way of thinking was
not reconciled to bar pew leader
"You would be a child in his haude"
she said contemptuously "Can't you
understand that yet?"
"If you still believe in him" Todd
said "there is a new chance to prove
you are (rung This boy Slivers ought
to be tack if he didn't meet Orme
ru put him through the third degree
and you can ask what questions you
like"
It so happened that the furtive
Silvers missed the surgeon and came
rapping at the steel door There was
no necessity to put him through a
severe cross-examination He had
that dramatic sense which finds its
metier in publicity What be had not
heard and what he did not under-
stand about the motives of the crew
he amplified and hardly guessed he
was lying
"Sure he's one of 'em" said the boy
eagerly "Him an' the steward was
the bosses Hie name's Orme Me
was a murderer and forger who broke
San Quentin and killed a prison
guard They say he was a big doctor
In New York once The ponies was
his ruin—them an' the wheel"
Evelyn Radway was the only one of
them who remembered the trial of a
celebrated surgeon of brilliaut parts
and good family he had killed the
man who was threatening to prosecute
him for forging a check And this
was the man who bad just gone from
them promising safety
"We ought to know how many men
there are on board" she declared
"and bow their sympathies are Sure-
ly they can't all be bad"
Slivers shook his bead knowingly
"They're a pretty hard bunch The
steward he picked 'em 'cause they
were tough and he'd got the goods on
em They're afraid to go back"
"Who killed Captain Hallett?" Todd
demended He d w Evelyn Radway's
face grow whiter as be asked it
"Sam" said Slivers instantly "Sam
is some shot Say" he added "do
you know why the steward stood
there and laughed at the Cap like
he did He'd made Hamner frisk
him first Hamner got the gun the
Cap had in his hip pocket but he
never thought he'd pack another Car-
ried one up on his chest That fooled
Hamner"
"I want the names of the rest of
the crew" Mrs Radway said
Slivers was ready and willing to
help
"Metzger's the first Then there's
Pereira the cook Keuzie wakes
three Graumann Hamner and
Krause that's six ain't it Mike the
deck hand is seven and Doc eight
There are two men down there with
Kenzie or somothin' like that Just
foreigners who don't know no United
States They're scared to come up
Countin' me there's eleven against
you two fellers Swell chance you've
got I"
"Why should we reckon you as one
of them?" Mr Railway asked "Can't
you see the danger of being associated
with men like that? When we get
back to New York—"
"But we ain't" said Slivers sagely
"That's the different e Were goin'
to some place in Central Ainelica I
told the Doc I was a ueutral!'
"Tell me about Kenzie" Mrs Bad-
way suld She remembered that the
second engineer had not struck her
as being the same depraved sort as
his superior Silvers was ready as
usual It seemed that no crimes of
blood were laid to Kenzie's door His
conflict with the law was of a big-
amuus nature Wives in many ports
clamored for him For the rest he
was a quiet wan now engrossed in
the adoration of perfect umehiner)
Slivers considered Metzger Pereira
Graumanu Krause and Hemner to be
bad men capable of anything Mike
was easily led
"And the doctor?" asked Todd
"He's playing a deep game" said
the lad "Metzger's afraid ef
The lad saw he was upon delicate
ground New conventions hedged him
around Here in the presence of the
desired woman he dared not recount
the precise reasons for Metzger's
Jealousy But when he left be could
have rendered Bettington no greater
disservice Ile had painted hilo
the sinister and dominating figure who
brooded over the strange cruise of the
Albatross betraying now qualities of
honesty and courage and then woods
of banns violence and rage It waa
this sense of contrast which most &p-
leated to the bo Augustuzi Condon
"Well" Crosby Todd said when he
had gone "I suppose there's no ques-
tion that my suspicions were correct?'
Ells words were alined 'solely at Mrs
Radway
"I aro afraid:mit" she said "but
there's no evidence yet that we shall
suffer any harm from him He knows
I am ready enough to pay anyransoni
he demands"
-
' In the luxurious quarters aft Bet-
tington - came upon '-Metzger and
Pereira sprawling on the great wicker
chairs '
"Well?" said Bettington"- "what's
your kroposItIon?"
"YotiTead the letter?"
"In-wMch you ask me to take you
to a convenient place where you can
signal to a pilot and then get rid of
me I knew very well that was what
Sam meant and I know you two pre-
cloue birds have the same idea Here
are my terms I'll take you to land
In my own way I will have nobody
on the upper deck If you have men
te spare use them fur stoking I
shall not leave the post"
"But who will Jake a speLl when you
'sleep?"
"I'll get that boy Bob up If you
want me send a message by Silvers
when be brings food You've seen
that I'm able to take care of myself
Well I'll treat either of you lust as
I did Sam If you as much put your
foot on tbe main companion" -
The twain protested but inthe end
they gave in
Bettington had heard no fearsome
Stories of violence where Kenzie was
concerned He remembered that till
mat was in the habit of marrying
his moments of sea leave and re-
gretting It in haste tio such charges
were over hint as troubled the others
But he feared waiting wives more
than jail terrors
"I'm in control" Bettington said
to him "I want all the steam you can
give me Have you enough help?"
"I've got these hunkles" Kenzie an-
swered "If you want anything send word by
----a0000"troo'
"Suits Me" Kenzie said Carelots ly
"All Right Cap"
the boy Slivers I'm uot allowing any-
one on the upper deck"
"Suits me" Keuzie said carelessly
"All right Cap"
He was already urging his men to
activity He cared little what weut
on outside his province
Bettington immedistely went to the
barred door and rapped as be bad ar-
ranged Todd let him in
"I've made terms with them" Bet-
tington announced "I'm to take
charge Nobody la allowed on the
upperdeck I need help I've selected
Bob"
"What aro I to do?" Bob asked
"Take your turn at the wheel and
wake me If you see or hear anything
euspicious You'll sleep up there co
bring all the kit necessary As for you
Todd you stays here and never desert
your post for a moment I :add I bad
made terms with theca Theta ouly
partly true I've forced them for the
moment to agree with me They'll
start plotting In a few hours so con-
tinue to be on the watch Under no
condition should you go outaide this
part of the ship Mn Radway When
the time cornea that it's safe you
will be told Slivers Is a kind of °tit
cial messeoger You can use him If
necessary"
When the doctor left them Crosby
Todd was especially vehement In his
denunciation of the scheme that
rubbed thew of Bob
"You don't think Bob's in danger?"
Mary demanded
' "Not exactly that but don't you see
be wants to curry favor? Hell try
and wake Bob think bell a misunder-
stood hero"
Not after readies that letter" Bob
answered "No chancy!"
CHAPTER XI

Bettington Captures the Cook
In a sense the breach between Bet-
Wigton and Mrs Radway lett hint
better able to carry out his plane He
was at least relieved of the accost
city of trying to convince her of his
Integrity They had condemned him
already and no more would be have to
seek tor excuses
In keeping the upper deck free of
the crew he was seeking to lesson the
risk of sudden attack There was al-
ways a danger that wen who had been
so much at sea would notice he wu
not teel-Rag a southern course and
his arbitrary ruling about keeping the
dock clear must have engendered tele
