he Captain of

the Kansas. By LOUIS TRACY. Author of 'The Wmga of the Morning" "TKe Pi!l of Light Etc 5 4 CHAPTER VIII. , f ORTTTNE has hpr rvcleis rchpth. J er f Osgood or ill. The Kansas, f I S i it.. ii.i : n uanug iuu me gauuet or many dangers, seemed to have earn ed an approving smile from the fickle goddess. A slight but perceptible veer tag of , the wind, combined rith the tacreasing power of the sun's rays, swept the ocean clear of its storm wraith3. Soon after passing the pillar rock Courtenay thought he. could make ot tne unwavering outline of moun tainous jana amid the gray mists. A few minutes later the waves racing alongside changed their leaden hue to a steely glitter which told him the fog .was dispersing. The nearer blue of the ocean carpet spread an ever widening circle until it merged into vivid green. Then, with startlinjr sudden ness, the curtain was drawn aside on a panorama at once magnificent and amazing. Almost without warning the ship was round to be entering the estuary of a narrow fiord. Gaunt headlands carved on a titanic scale'out of the solid rock guarded the entrance and already emit out the more distant coast line Behind these first massive walls, everywhere unscalable and rising in separate promontories to altitudes of perhaps 400 feet, an inner fortification of precipitous mountains flung its gla cier clad peaks heavenward to lm -mense heights heights which in that region soared rar above the snow line. But if the crests of peak upon peak were clothed in white their bases wore a garment of different texture. Save a the seaward terraces of stark rock, with their tide marked base of weed covered bowlders, the densest vegetation known to mankind imposed everywhere a first barrier to human progress far more unconquerable than the awesome regions beyond. Pine forests of extraordinary density crammed each available yard of space until the tree growth yielded perforce to hardier Alpine moss and lichens. This lower belt of deepest green ranged from 500 to 1,000 feet in height, as conditions were adverse or favorable, and waterfalls abounded. Courtenay, after an astounded glance at the magnitude and solemn grandeur of the spectacle, had eyes for naught cave the conformation of the channel. "The change in the wind was caused, he . found, by the northerly headland thrusting its giant mass a mile or more westward of its twin, but he quickly discovered from the conformation of ' the land that the latter was really the protecting cape of the inner waterway. He reasoned, therefore, that the deep water channel flowed close to the north ern shore until it was flung off by the relentless rocks to seek the easier in let behind the opposite point. He did not know yet whether the ship was entering some unknown strait or the mouth of a narrow landlocked bay. If the latter, the presence of : tne distant glaciers and the nearer tor- ' rents warned him of a possible bar on which the Kansas might be lost within Bight of safe anchorage. Not inspired guesswork now, but the skill of the pilot, was needed. This crossing the bar in broad daylight was as great a trial of nerve in its way as the earlier onward rush in the dark. Wind and sea had abated so sensibly that the Pacific rollers raced on unbroken, and it was no longer a superhuman task to make one's voice heard along the deck. So the captain aroused Walker with a sharp order: "Go and see if the donkey boiler has a good head of steam. We may have to drop the stream anchor quick and both bowers as well. If Tollemache Js doing his work properly, go forward and keep a sharp lookout for broken water. Clear off the tarpaulins, and be ready to lower away the instant I Blng out" Walker, who had been gazing spellbound at the majestic haven opening up before the ship, hurried on his errand. He found Tollemache seated on an upturned bucket, in which the taciturn one had Just washed his face and hands. "Have you seen it?" demanded Walker gleefully, while his practiced eyes took in the state of the gauges as he overran a number of oil taps with nimble fingers. "Seen what?" asked Tollemache without removing his pipe. "The land, my bonny lad. We-ah wunnin wight in now." "We've been doing that for hours." "Yes, but this is diff went The'aw's a fine wiv-ah ahead. Have ye ev-ah seen the Tyne? Well, Just shove Sooth sheels an' Tynemouth a few hundred feet hlgh-ah an you've got it. Now, don't twy to talk or you might cwack yo' face." With this Parthian shaft of humor he vanished toward the forecastle, whence the ubiquitous donkey boiler through one of Its long arms woirld Bhoot forth the stockless anchors nt the touch of a lever. Tollemache, wl.o had already glimpsed the coast, strolled out on deck and bent well over tlij side in order to look more directly ahead. He could see one-half only of the view, but that sufficed. "A respite," he growled to himself "penal servitude instead of sudden fieath." And indeed this was the true aspect js . tbtagS .as jCpurteuajr discovered

when he had successfully brought the ship past three ugly reefs and dropped anchor in the backwater of a small sheltered bay He speedily abandoned the half formed hope that the Kansas might have run into an ocean waterway which communicated with Smyth channel. The rampart of snow clad hills had no break, while a hasty scrutiny of the chart showed him that the eastern coast of Hanover island had been thoroughly surveyed. Yet It was not in human-nature that he should not experience a rush of joy at the thought that by his own efforts he had saved his ship &nd some at least of the lives intrusted to his, care. He was alone when the music of the chains In the hawse pipes sounded In hi3 ears. The Kansas had plenty of room to swing, but he thought it best to moor her. Believing implicitly now that he would yet bring hl3 vessel into the Thames, he allowed her to be carried round by the fast flowing tide until her nose pointed seaward and she lay in the comparatively still water inshore. Then he dropped the second anchor and stepped forth from the chart house. His long vigil war ended. Some of the cloud of care lifted from his face, and he called cheerily to Joey. "Come along, pup," he said. "Let us sample Dr. Chrlstobal's cookery. You have shared my watch; now you shall

my breakfast. We have both earned It" ' ' It was in his mind to knock loudly on Elsie's door and awaken her. Therefore he was dimly conscious of a feeling of disappointment when ho 6aw her in company with Christobal leaning over the rail of the promenade deck and evidently discussing the weird beauty of the scene spread before her wondering eyes. They heard Courtenay's approaching footsteps almost as soon as he gained the deck. Instantly she ran toward him, with hands outstretched. "Let me be the first, to congratulate you!" she cried, her cheeks mantling with a rush of color and her Hds Quiv ering with- excitement. "How wonder ful of you to bring the shh throush all those awful reefs and things! No: you must not say you have done noth ing marvelous. Dr. Christobal has told me everything. Next to Provi dence, Captain Courtenay, we owe our lives to you." Courtenay felt it would hurt her were he to smile at her earnestness. But he did say: "Surely it is not so very remarkable that I should do my best to safeguard the ship and such of her passengers ana crew as survive last night's, or deal." I shall never understand how I cajne to fall asleep," said Elsie. "I remember feeling very tired. I sat down for a moment, and that ended it. The next thing I heard was a raDDincr on my door and Dr. Christobal's voice bidding me hurry If I would see the entrance to. the harbor." ' - The two : men exchanged dances. Courtenay laughed so pleasantly that It was good to hear. Yet there was I up aloft, maneu vering the ship in the firm faith that Dr. Christobal was busy in the cook's galley," said he. , "Ah, we have news for you!" cried Elsie. "One of the poor fellows who was knocked on the head during that terrible fight for the boats was the master cook himself. He Is better now, and breakfast can be ready in five minutes. I'll go and tell him." She ran off, and Joey scampered by her side, for he knew quite well where the kitchen lay. "Bromide Is useful at times," murmured Christobal, watching Elsie until she had disappeared. Then he turned to Courtenay. "I suppose you have seen nothing of the boats?" "No sign whatever. And I could hardly have missed them if they were here. They may have escaped,, but I doubt it The sea ran very high for a time, and the Kansas scraped past so many reefs that it was almost impossible for each of the three boats to have done the same." "Even If one or more of them reached land there is small likelihood that they would turn up in this particular bay?" "That is true, especially If they used their sails. The Chileans who got away In the lifeboats would know sufficient of the coast to make a northerlv course, while my parting Instructions to Malcolm were to keep to the north all the time." I wish now that poor Isobel Barms: and the others had not left us," eaid Christobal sadly. Courtenay was about to sav some thing, but checked himself. He was not blind lo the aspect of affairs which Tollemache had summarized so pithily. It might yet be that those who remained had more to endure. Then Elsie summoned them to breakfast which was served on deck, as the salon had been temporarily converted into a hospital. Before sitting down Courtenay paid a brief visit to Mr. Boyle. Christobal told him not to allow the wounded man to talk too much, complete rest for a few hours being essential. But Boyle's pallid face lit up so brightly when the captain stood by his side that it was hard not to indulge him to some extent "Huh," he said, his gruff voice strong as ever, "Christobal was not humbuggin me when he assured me you were all right Where are we?" "In a small bay on the east of Hanover island. I have not taken any observations yet, and there is no hurry, old chap. You'll be out and about long before we move again." Boyle smiled and closed his eyes. "I heayd the anchors go, and then I knew that all was well. You're the luckiest skipper afloat Huh, the bloomin' Kansas was lost not once, but twenty times.". ."Are xou in nain, Boyle?" a&ked

Courtenay, placing a gentle hand on

his mend's forehead. . -is ot much. More stiff than sore. It was a knockout blow of Its kind can just retail you haulln me out of the scrimmage and " "It will be your turn to do as much for me next time. Try to go to sleep wen nave you on deck tomorrow " Courtenay noticed that there were only four other . sufferers in th k Ion. Three were' firemen injured by the explosion. He had a pleasant word ror each of them. The fourth was a sailor, either asleen or unoon scious,. and Courtenay thought he rec ognized a severe bruise-oh the man's left temple where the butt of his re volver had struck hard. When he returned on deck he learn ed thajt two other members of the crew, in addition to the cook, were able to work. Walker had set one to clear up the stokehold. His commn Ion, a fireman, had relieved Mr. Tolle mache. Indeed, the latter had gona to hl3 cabin and was the last to arrive at the feast, finally putting in an ap pearance In a new suit and spotleea linen. '. Christobal protested loudly. "I thought this was to be a workers' meal' he said. "Tollemache has stol en a march on us. He Is quite a Bond street lounger in appearance." . "Dirty Job stoking." said Tollemache "I -seem to have been the only lazy person on boarrl during th . nrhtv cried Elsie. : "Do you know what time it is?" ask ed Courtenay. . . . "No; about 10 o'clock, I fancy." "It is not yet half past 4." The blue eyes opened wide. "Arc you in earnest?" she demanded. He showed her his watch. Scarce four hours had elapsed since she had waited In the captain's cabin, amid tne drenching spray and tearing wind, while he took Isobel and Mrs. Somer ville and the shrieking maid to the Doat. xne corners of her mouth drooo ed, and tears trembled on her eyeAre you in pain, Boyle t" asked Cour4 tenay. lashes. She sought furtively for a handkerchief. Knowing exactly what troubled her, Courtenay turned to Christobal. "This island ought to be inhabited," he said. "Can you tell me what sort of Indians one finds in this locality ?" Christobal frowned perplexedly. "I fear I do not know much about them," he said. "Behind those hills there one sees a few canoe Indians. I have heard that they are somewhat lower in the social scale than the aborigines of Australia." "Are they?" said Courtenay. He looked Christobal straight in the eyes, and the doctor returned his gaze as steadily. "That is their repute. Thev live mostly on shellfish. They do not con gregate in communities. A few fami lies keep together and move constant ly from place to place." "They are called the Alaculof. Thev use bows and arrows with heads chip ped out of stone or bottle glass." nut in Tollemache. "Oh, you have been In these parts before?" cried Courtenay, regarding his compatriot with some interest while the Spaniard surveyed his rival doubtfully. "Yes; was on the Emu, wrecked In Cockburn channel." Now, the story of the Emu is one of those fierce tragedies which the sea first puts on the stage of life with dire skill and then proceeds to destroy the slightest vestige of their brief existence. But such things leave abiding memories In men's souls, and Courtenay had heard how twenty-seven survivors out of a muster roll of thirty who escaped from the wreck had been shot down by Indians ambushed In the forest. Elsie was listening to the conversation, so the captain did not carry it further, contenting himself with the remark: "That will be useful If we are compelled to go ashore. You will have some acquaintance with the ways of our hosts." Tollemache, having nothing to say, was not given to the use of unnecessary words. Elsie was conscious of a certain constraint in their talk. "Please don't mind me," she said quietly. "I know all about the loss of the Emu. If we fall into the hands of the Alaculof tribe we shall be not only killed, but eaten." Each . of the men admired her coolness, but Tollemache, who had been quietly scrutinizing the nearer hills, give painful emphasis to this grewsome topic by exclaiming: . . "There they are now smoke signal;!" Sure enough, thin columns of smoke were rlsincr from several points on tl

land. It could not be doubted that these were caused by human agency. They were not visible when the party

sat down to breakfast The appearance of the ship was their obvious ex-! planation, but not a canoe or a soli tary figure could be seen, though Cour tenay and others at various times dur ing the day searched every part of the neighboring shore with field glasses and powerful telescopes. After an all too brief burst of sunShine the Land of Storms again justlfied its name. Giant clouds came rolllng iu from seaward; the mountains were lost in mist; the glaciers became sullen, rock 6trewn masses of white

showers of hail and sleet alternated wnu urencaing ram. At low water, though the Kansas floated securelv la a depth of twenty fathoms, a yellow current sweeping past her starboard quarter showed how accurately CourteJ nay had read the tokens . of the Ullot Many a swollen torrent and perhaps one or two fair sized streams at the head of the bay contributed this flood of fresh water. i . , , To Elsie and the doctor were intrusted the daylight watch on deck and the care of the sick. For the latter there was not much to be done. The cook undertook to feed them, and Frascuelo, the wounded stevedore who' had been discovered in a state of collapse, soon revived and was practically able to look after himself. The others, under Walker's directions, were hard at work in the engine room and stokehold, for there alone lay the chance of ultimate escape. The two sentinels conversed but littie. The outer war of the elements was disturbing, and Christobal, though rmfnlllne'lv nntlmktlp In, ha rnnh

of the preceding twenty-four hours and notwithstanding her brief sleep In the morning thoroughly exhausted for want of rest, was persuaded to retire early to her cabin.

She awoKe with a start with all her nerves a-quiver. Joey was tearing along the deck, barking furiously. She heard two men ran past her door with ominous haste. Then, after a heart breaking pause, there was some shoot ing. Some one she thought It was Courtenay roared down the salon com panion: un aecK, ail bands, to repel boardersl With a confused rush, men mounted the stairs and raced forward. She knew that nearly all of those not on , , J. ti. V, , . . watch were sleeping with the injured men in the salon, and now she understood the reason. The ship was being attacked by Indians and not altogether unexpectedly. The savages had stolen alongside in their canoes under the cloak of night Perhaps they were al ready on board in overwhelming num bers. Poor girl! She murmured a prayer while she hurriedly drew on her boots and ulster. There seemed to be no end to the evils which assailed the Kansas, and she dreaded this new terror more than the mad fury of the seas. But if the men were fighting for their lives and hers' she must help too. That was clear. She had a weapon, a loaded re volver, which she had picked up from beneath a boat's tarpaulin lying on the spar deck. She opened her door and peered out She could not see any one, and the rattle of a hailstorm overhead effectually dulled any other noise. But several shots fired again in the fore part of the ship were audi ble above the din of the pelting hall. So she ran that way, with the fine courage of one who fears, yet goes on, and her eyes pierced the shadows with tense despair in them, for what could so few men do against the un seen watchers who sent up the thirtyfour smoke columns she had counted?

Always I vas barefooted on the ships for eight years. The odder sailors are barefoot, too, for washing down decks, but I nefer put on any shoes at all. I wear only a thin shirt mlt the arms cut off unt the neck cut low, unt a pair of breeches. Going around the Horn we often got terrible storms, mit snow and ice all ofer the rigging. But I wore the same clothes unt no shoes on my bare feets. The other sailors said to me I will get rheumatism unt die. But nix on that dope. Sometimes I'm In the frozen rigging holding onto the ice mlt my bare toes, unt the wind is blowing a full reef gale.

It will be used scmewat this spring, but is no longer the high-style novelty that it was. Many shoulder draperies will be seen, both epaulettes and plaits being brought into use to give the broad-shouldered effect. Many gowns will have the long, wrhikled mousquetaire sleeve. Close fitting cuffs six inches deep, finished with a frill top and bottom appear on many blouses. The kimona sleeve is a thing of the past for day wear, and in its place we have the gigot. always a favorite, and never long out of fashion. But the fullness, which droops on the outside of the arm, and is often slightly gathered on the inner seam, is kept i-n-tlrely above the elbow, while the lower part of the sleeve is tight-fitting and ends In a point over the back of the hand. This is the prettiest style of sleeve possible for summer materials. The new undersleeves are of two varieties. There is the short, full elbow sleeve, very puffy and all made of lace. And there is the long wrinkled undersleeve made of lace and coming right down to the knuckles", where the sleeve is finished with a wired point. Tulle, chiffon and net are all pressed into the service of making long wrinkled sleeves, which are considered extremely j smart aner tne many seasons of short sleeves. Still the short sleeve is pretty ! for evening. THE NEW DRAPED SKIRT. Statuesque lines are the most striking thing about the newest Paris gowns, which will set the season's pace. The tunic is made a good deal of. In some cases it has appeared with diawnup sides in a hint of the old draped overskirt style. A champagne colered crepe de Chine gown bearing the name of one of the leading Paris makers at one of the openings has a tunic pointed at the front and square at the back, falling in with the train, The sides are draped on the hips by means of a series of horizontal pin tucks. These raise the sides well above deep riounce depth, but make no perceptible bunchiness at the hips as the crepe is of onion skin silk thinness. The skin tight skirt introduced last fall is modified and the little plaits taken up in the front breadth to make room for an actual step are happily absent. The princess skirt with wido girdle draped high in 3emi-empire effect is the one most used. Many of the best skirts of the day have the semiempire girdle sewed frankly to them. The empire train Is the newest development in the evening and reception gowns. The empire train is shirred into the small space required fcr the lower part of the back of the bodice, and it- fastened there at high girdle depth below the middle of the back. The train falls from this point ito the folds of the skirt, being sewed with its side seams or at times left free. Try n want ad In The Times. pennant chasers this afternoon at Sprlngbrook Park.
