The, burning gun drove Bruce and Louise, downitairs, where thej played interminable games of soli taire. De Loma prowled the ship like a caged animal. He had run out of cigarettes long since, and big nerves were au a-jangle. pe rovec from one end of the ship to the other, 09 the rail and studying the prospect in every They were all very much he same, which must have been discouraging. He avoided the landward side, Mary observed, but whether this was due to her presence there, or the consisted of lassy.sea out of which old Fort efferson prison reared its ugly eadr-she did not know.

Presently, to give him the range of the boat, and also because his restlessness had begun to get on her nerves, she resolved to go below and take a nap. She met a steward with a tray, headed for Dirk's stateroom, and stopped him. She ranged it'a bit to make it mqre jn? viting. Then she had the steward Wait while she wrote 4 HOte. -jt was only three words.

Mary pulled a book-from the rack on one side of the salon and sent that along, too. She promised herself that she would drop in and se Dirk after he had lunch. Once she heard an altercation ou on deck. De Loma was berating steward because he had looked the liquor cabinet, at Mr, Jupiter' order, as it turned out, Mary dis missed it from her until i violent knocking at her door forcei her to take notice of it. De Lqma was in a towering white-hpt rage.

"What'e all about?" he snarled. "Am la guest on this damn neWng-wnack or em I- not? Why J. deaf jnutet yojj've wt this want drtnk, I want it now, do you hear! Tell cub to toss out that key! What does he think I am, a baby?" "Take your, troubles to Captain Hendrlcks, He's. command," Mary replied. "Yea? Well, something else I want to know-why doesn't that radio operator my messages?" "Doesn't her "No.

Mary, listening to the encounter between the two with a loudly beating heart, opened her door a trifle when De Loma had gone. Captain Hendricks was still standing there, your door locked," he said very low. "The steward just surprised him trying Mr. Jupiter's door. That's what he's so hot and mthered about, Though I reckon le'd like to have a drink, at that.

3ood thing Jupiter's got the only think he'd try to row to "Are-we off the reef yet?" she asked hopefully. All morning the crew had worked at the job of dislodging the strand- "Gypsy, 1 first dropping an an- hor off the bow and trying to pull er forward with a winch and then epeating the performance off the tern.

"He'll almy-before then. You know wha think?" He whispered almos ieefully. "I think it's that ok prison that gets his goat! He's jittery now he can't eat. And when appetites fail on shipboard, a man' either seasick or got the fear hell-fire in him." In mid-afternoon the fishermen arrived, and even the sullen De Loma was at the rail to watch their coming aboard. Any kind of ac tivlty was better than the stillness and utter lack of human association from whfph ha.had been suffering "Oh, what maryelousiluck!" Mary called out involuntarily as the boat came alongside and she saw several shining fish in the "What are theyTf I never.sa'w;sueh beautiful fish before," Jupiter Ba( were igrftiilngr as they albeit rather- stiffly, and came up the gangplank.

"Kingflsh," Bates replied, "and hey're rightly name'd, too. What a Ight one of those fellows gave me! le knew I was an amateur so he gave the works." "Didn't you get any barracuda?" "No. No luck there." Mr. Jupi- er called a deck hand to bring heir catch up from the dinghy. "I wouldn't want to try to bring one those into that cockleshell.

Got he boat loose yet?" "Sorry, sir," the captain replied. And now there's something the matter with the radio. Tried to get Key West to order a tug, but it wouldn't work.

It was not human, she felt, to be so stubbornly resist, ant even to the ordinary claims ot friendship. He must hate her, There was no other explanation. She almostfan to her own cabin, locked herself in and let the teari come.

Then, realizing that could not go up on deck again with. out exciting curiosity, she sent steward to ask Bates to loan her his half-complete "picture puwle." It she must be a prisoner she could at least be doing something useful. For two hours she labored over heap of paper scraps, fitting together expertly, until she had the finished poster. It was almost impossible to gain a clear idea of the man's looks another tour's labor had succeeded in past- ng the scraps In place. But he- 'ond a doubt it was De 'ounger De Loma, almost a boy, in act.

The same 'thin, hawk-like ace, the beady black eyes, the ar- Ogant head. He wore a white shirt pen at the neck, and white trou- ers curiously clipped (p. at the nkles, as if for bicycle riding, and rhat appeared to be a pair of old ennls shoes. The curiousness of hia get-up was heightened by his folded across the chest, he feet at right angles in the "first ositlon" of the ballet dancer. Below was printed: "Harry Hill, IB Human Fly." Mary pqndered this for aome time.

The name was not familiar, and she had no idea what a "human fly'' was. Reaving it for Bates' interpretation, she went up on deck. Night had settled down as she Joined the rest of the party, grouped on the main deck just forward of Mr. Jupiter's cabin. A half mile or so to the east, gleaming ghostly clear in the moonlight, the prison rose abruptly out of the sea, A gold moon swam in the deep blue tropical sky.

The whole scene was like a vivid lithograph or a highly colored postcard picture. Louise was talking as Mary joined the group, describing an old castle she had visited the year before. "It had the most marvelous stained Sflass windows, made in Italy by the monks during the Renaissance and transported over the mountains donkeys. I remember particu- arly a deep crimson the glass was so flnejy colored It looked like precious stone She turned to Mary. "What reminded me of it were your rubies, What, you them? you have'them'on' he yacht? I should love just to ook at them again." "I have them here," Mr.

Jupiter poke up, before Mary could de- ide what answer to make to this mazing request. He reached into he pocket of his. dinner jacket and ulled them out, holding them up the eyes of the others. There vere several sharply drawn breaths the unexpected glory of the tones. "Try 'em on, Mary, do," he rged.

"It's a sight worth seeing," told the others with naive prido. He rose and laid them in her ands. Fumbling with nervousness, 'ary reached up to fasten them about her neck, but they slipped from her fingers. She made a frantic grab for them, but only succeeded in striking them with her hand. They fell flashing into tha sea.
