“Dynamite—look!" eried Fondra. “It's special delivery. From Washington, D. C the Navy Department. ft must be about your charts." The Captain snatched up the envelope and ripped it open. “Bicss me soul I So it is, Sondy.” Sondra read the letter over her grandfather's shoulder. “They do want your charts, lamb. And how I” The Captain let out a joyous oath, and the two, throwing their arms about each other, rocked back and forth, laughing. “May I share In this family rejoicing!" It was Kemp, speaking from the open doorway, lie was smiling, but only with his lips. His eyes held the harassed look that had become habitant with him of late. The Captain, sparkling with triumph, waved the letter in welcome. “Uncle Sam has waked up to me charts at last, Starbuck,’* he roared. "Here’s the proof—signed by the Secretary of the Navy himself! Listen, now, whilst 1 read you his very words:— “ 'Your letter relative to certain drawings and other data pertaining to some uncharted portions of the Aleutian Islands has recently ix-en turned over to me by the War Department This department wishes to express Its grsteful appreciation of your kind offer to submit these documents for the use of the United States Government. “'The UJi.S. Ntu> Orleant, now en route to Alaskan waters, should arrive off Sitka about August 15th; at which time Lieut. Wayne Shaw will call upon you and take personal charge of the documenta in question. Lieut. Shaw will be very glad to receive from you at the same time any verbal information on Alaskan waters and conditions not covered by these papers. “ 'lt is assumed that you arc exereising the utmost care for the safeguarding of these documents, since it appears they may embody information of vital importance to any unfriendly power that might contemplate hostilities against our western seaboard.* “ 'Assuring you of—* and to forth. “Well there it lx, Starbuck!” The Captain proudly thrust the letter at Kemp, who glanced at the missive and handed it back. “August fifteenth—a week from today,” he calculated somberly. “That’s qufek work, sir. They must think your charts darned important if Naval Intelligence Is sending Bh—er—if this chap Shaw is coming up to take special charge of them.” He shot a keen glance at the Captain’s smiling face. “Better have Jarvis set a special guard at the bank, air. Someone might try blowing the vault to get at them.” “Let ’em blow and be darned,” the Captain chuckled. “They’ll find nothing of mine in Tom's vault." “Dynamite won't tell even me where he’s hidden the charts, Kemp." Sondra was starting for the door. “But 111 bully him into showing them to us before the New Orltani arrives. Ta, ta, gentlemen." When the two men were alone, O'Moore turned an appraising eye on Kemp, who was nervously drawing out his cigarette case. “Sill down, lad,” ho said. “Get it off your chest." Kemp fumbled a light to his cigarette and inhaled deeply before he spoke. “It's that Japanese Army contract, sir. I’ve Just had another letter. They're crowding me hard for more speed. More fish.” “Tell the yellow heathens to be i alsy. We'll more than make up any temporary shortage in a week or two." “But my contract demands regu- i lar shipments, on scheduled dates; ' and there's a murderous penalty clause for failure. Your fleet brought in barsly enough to cover i jny floor this inorninff.” “Aye. With dlvil a herring offshore, my lads are findin' tough < pidgin’s," admitted the Captain. “Bi* what’s wrong with your own fleet, that was built fer this puss- I in-the-corner flshin*! I don't see them fttchin’inmsny loads, either.” Kemp flushed apologetically. "I'm afraid my Japanese aren't much good against native competition, »ir.

“Reynail, eh! Chris told me he’d let most of his boats go free-lancin’ up the inlets, keepin’ only a doxen st Shaman’s Lagoon to look after the school he holds impounded there." "That's another thing ! must talk over with you, Captain. Reynail has offered to sell me his surplus." "Surplus!" O’Moore’s white eyebrows bushed upward. “He has a surplus, then?" “So he says. And he’s offered to let me have them at the same price I pay you." “You accepted?" "I told him I'd have to see you first, sir. I know you’re at war with Reynail, but—l have to fill cans for those troops in China!" "So-o-o." The Captain’s voice was dangerously soft. “Have ye forgotten, Starbuck, that clause in your contract with me which forbids your havin' any traffic with Reynail!" “It forbids my selling fish to Reynall, not buying from him.” Kemp's haggard eyes met the other’s stare unflinchingly. Silence, like a river filled with strong conflicting currents, flowed between them for a space. "That's true,” the Captain said at last. "And I cannot blame ye, lad, for takin* fislj where ye find ’em, when ye need them. But—will ye tarn down Reynall's offer, if I show yo where ye’ll not lose by it? How ye may profit. In the end!" "How, air!" “Our boats may strike herring any day now, endin’ your worries. Should they not. I’ll insure you against loss by payin’ your penalty out of me own pocket. Is that fair!” asked the Captain. “Most generous, sir.” Kemp shook his head regretfully. “But what's really important is that I get the flsh to make those shipments." “What if yo got them, already canned, for less than they'd cost ye to pack?" "How do you mean, sir!" Kemp stared blankly into the Captain's shrewdly twinkling eyes. “Ixwk down there, me lad.” O'Moore pointed to the Bates wharf, where Reynall's men were stacking cases of canned herring under a makeshift shed. "Reynail has shipped no fish, as yet. He's filled the Glory't hold with what he's canned already, and now he has no place to store his future pack. Even if he had, he couldn’t store it, for soon he must raise eash to meet his pay roll. To get cash, he must sell; and to sell, he must ship—and *tls mcself has some small voice in Alaska shippin*. There'll be no space for Reynail cargo in any vessel makin* this port—ye may lay to that. There are other lines out of Juneau, of course, but I'll be goin' over there shortly on other business, and—Am-m-m—l’ll attend to that, too, y<: understand.” "That might force Reynail to sell me a part of his pack at cost, or a bit below," Kemp agreed, thoughtfully. "But I can’t son how it helps you much, Captain. He still has all his early pack in the Glory't hold, and the ship rigged ready to sail. You can’t stop him taking that cargo South and selling it at a nice profit So you still will not have won your fight.” “Har-rumphf* The Captain cleared his throat noisily. "I’ll have shown the unregenerate whelp he can’t kick Dan O'Moore in the ribs, and not ba takin’ a clout or two in return. Belike, as things look now, 1 may have been a bit hasty in me past judgment; but I can’t lie tossin* up the sponge now, whilst the young divil has me covered with blood entirely. ’Tis a draw with him I’m after, no more!" When Kemp did not epeak, the Captain leaned forward Earnestly. "In any case, you win, me lad. By refusin’ to deal with Reynail now, ye get his surplus later—packed, ready to ship, and at your own prica Isn’t that clear?" “The joker there lies in the time element. Captain. I need fish at once —not a month or two months hence. My plant should be turning full blast right now. And—well—Keynail can keep it going for weeks, just with that lot he has bottled up in Shaman's Lagoon.” After a moment he added, “Sorry, sir,” and shot a narrow-eyed glance at the silent O'Moore.
