Six black horses drew it proced- I ed by detachments of mounted gendarmes, light artillery, and Infantry. The honorary pallbearers marching directly behind the hearse included Premier Paul Van Zeeland, the presidents of the Belgian chamber and senate, and the ministers of Justice and home affairs. King Leopold walked alone, his face graven deep with grief. The Belgian monarch was by far the: most tragic figure in the fneral cortege. He could not hide his intense suffering, both physical and emotional. The muscles of his face I were pitifully drawn and tears welled from his eyes as he walked. Behind him was his brother. Prince Charles, and then Prince Charles of Sweden, representative of foreign nations, including Prince | Humbert of Italy, who is the husband of Leopold s sister. Princess Marie Jose. The crown princes of Denmark

SYNOPSIS Jerome Crain, young naval architect. and a wealthy society girl, named Linda, are guests aboard the yacht owned by the millionaire, Thomas Tucker, anchored at San Cristobal. Jerome and Linda are bored with one another and when the other guests go ashore, the young couple, each believing the other had gone, stays on board. One of the sailors contracts fever and the yacht is quarantined. No one is allowed to come aboard or leave. But Jerome and Linda escape in a skiff. CHAPTER 111 From the shore of which they could only see the lights there came a rearing sound, wind through the palms and other foliage. The black zone of water astern faded, then whitened. A flare of lightning showed its surface seething and tormented. Jerome had barely got in his oars and taken the tiller when the squall struck them. The trim little craft was swept along with it in a lashing deluge of warm spray. Then down came the rain in a slanting torrent. The fishing boat was equipped for this sort of thing, half decked, with a weather cloth that Jerome had so devised it could be slid along gunters to cover most of the open part. “Couldn’t have made the shore if we’d wanted to,” Jerome shouted. “This won’t last long.” It lasted long enough to drive them out past the entrance flash and into open sea. The flarings and thunderings grew fainter. The torrential rain stopped as if somebody had closed off the valve. With a few fitful puffs of lessening violence the wind expired. The little boat wallowed about in a rapidly subsiding chop of waves. They found themselves becalmed under a multitude of bright stars what were like lanterns hung low in a purple velvet sky. Beyond them the pallid sheen of myriad celestial bodies too infinitely remote for any detailing merged into a pale luminosity. The water blazed with phosphorescent flashes. "I rather liked all that," Linda said. “A salt shower followed by a fresh one is tonic,” Jerome agreed. He cleared the hood off the outboard engine, then started it. This was powered enough to drive the fishing skiff at twelve knots speed. Giving the tiller to Linda he pumped out the boat “Better take a nap,” he advised. “I’ve slept enough on this putrid cruise to last me this run.” “That ought not to be so long. You’ve got clear of the yacht and | clear of the crowd. And in a few I hours you’ll be clear of me. All is swell.” I Jerome was fighting to keep ! awake when the dawn rushed in and ' expanded into full day. Presently a ■ slanting ray tickled Linda's eyelids : so that she gave a sun sneeze and ■ awoke. Directly ahead of them an island of the thousands from which 1 the Mosquito Coast gets its name ! seemed to be pushed up as if to offer a rest station. It was a low island , that looked fresh and verdant. Jerome had swerved off his course to strike it The elapsed time did not check with his estimated speed and distance, and it was an hour i sooner than he expected to sight the island. A fair current no doubt. I His compass was small but accurate - and he knew the deviation caused by the engine when running due south. There was no iron in the boat’s con- ■ struction. He discovered then to his disgust | that an iron gaff for lifting big fish 1 into the boat had in some way been i thrown almost against the compass 1 under the furled sail. “How did that gaff get there?” hr I | asked. “It’s put the compass aii off.” Linda said indifferently “The

thing was under my shoulder and I shoved it out of my way. What of it?” “It’s queered my reckoning. See if you can find the chart” With the same maddening coolness she said, “I think it blew overboard in the squall. I saw something white flying away.” “Then we are stung.” “Not badly. You can see the mountains on the mainland.” “Yes, and we can see the sun on the horizon and get the depth of water. That would be enough for a local coast pilot but I don't happen to be one.” She looked at the island ahead. “Let’s land and freshen up and get some breakfast.” “All right Steer then while I straighten out this mess.” He wanted to take stock of what

they had. They had swerved to the eastward to approach the island on its westward or sheltered side when the breeze sprang up. This put the sun directly in Linda’s eyes and dazzled her. Also its reflection on the water and the bow wave prevented her discovering that the water had shoaled and that the bottom was • studded with coral heads. Jerome was on his hands and . knees rummaging in the forward i locker to get out the anchor and a coil of line, when there came a . smashing, crunching contact and a flooo of water almost in his face. The boat's way was checked for an , instant. Then she slid over the ledge i that was only a few inches beneath i the surface and into the deeper ■ water between it and the shore. Rut Jerome saw instantly that ! she would neve: reach the shore. ' I The jagged crest of coral had ripped » I fiwav nnp of the eoHar strake* he-

neatb the water line and the brine was pouring in. He might have stuffed some clothing or a bight of the sail into the tear but a part of it was under the flooring ana there was no time to rip this up nor any tool with which to do so at hand. The boat was filling fast Jerome said grimly to Linda: “Now we have done it Stand by to abandon ship.” She said bitterly: "The sun was in my eyes." “Why didn’t you say so?" He stopped the engine then quickly caught a turn of the anchor line round it and the other end to one of the kapok boat cushions to buoy the spot Without the weight of the outboard engine the boat would float awash, having no ballast He then unclamped the engine from the stern transom and let it . . -■ —— —J? ’J < e

go overboard in about a fathom and a half of water. The little boat was filling fast. She was broad enough of beam to float on an even keel awash. Jerome got out his oars and started to pull in for the curve of white sandy beach. Before he had taken many strokes he was waist deep. Progress was very slow and it grew still slower as finally the boat filled awash. Such articles aboard as could float were floating but retained by two or three inches of gunwhale. Linda also was afloat. Jerome floundered over the side and found that he could stand in about four feet of water. Wading and swimming when the water deepened a little they managed to haul the boat along until she g’-ounded on the beach. i (To Be Continued) ■_ Cnnwrlrhi ?W3 Tnc
