He entered the dark doorway with a sort of terror, climbed the winding staircase which seemed to smell of the residues of life, hastened the disrobing with eager hands, as if he had no time to waste, as if he was afraid of dying before he realized his desire, and all at once the poor women who looked askance at his feverish silence and the savage hunger which shone in his eyes, were tempted to laugh, seeing him drop dejectedly into a chair in silence, unmindful of the brutal words which they in their astonishment hurled at him; without paying any attention to their gestures and invitations, not coming out of his stupor till the woman, cold and somewhat offended, started to put on her clothes.

"Well, if he hits one, he's got to hit the lot," said the mate. "We'll all stand by you." "I can't always have the crew follering me about," said the skipper dejectedly. "No, he'll wait his opportunity, and, after he's broke my head, he'll go 'ome and break up my wife's 'art." "She won't break 'er 'art," said the mate confidently.

It was the first time he had called her by her Christian name. "How dare you?" she cried, her breast heaving with suppressed anger. He shook his head dejectedly. "I have much to learn, it seems." She opened her lips to say more, but reconsidered, and abruptly turned away, drawing Christine after her into the women's section. Colonel Grand turned to David.

"But, Jinny," ventured that Miss Puss Russell who never feared to speak her mind, "it would be folly for them to fight. The Dutch and Yankees outnumber them ten to one, and they haven't any powder and bullets." "And Camp Jackson is down in a hollow," said Maude Catherwood, dejectedly.
