We must go into this matter thoroughly and have witnesses," said the skipper, with a ware of his hand, "for nobody knows what consequences may depend upon it. There's the body under that bit of sail-cloth.oa the poop. for instance. What are we to do with that? We can both log the account of our finding him, | but how's that going to lead to an identification of him? We can put him overbeard, but once

he's gou, he's gone for ever and a day."

May I make a suggestion, sir?" asked Jack sou, who had hitherto sat silent. "Miss Ferga- son" (the frivolous widow's daughter) "has a kodak, which I happen to know is half full of plates. If the matter was put to her, I have not the least doubt she would lend it.'

That might be done, we both agreed, though nobody vontured to suggest who should do the work.

Wel, is the young lady ready to come I don't want to delay aboard ?" he asked

any mora than I can help, for I have got a motion that it won't be long before we shall hare a breeze, and I want to make the most of it."

I explained the position she had taken up, and told him how hard I had tried to persando her to go.

"Bothor the girl," he said irritably, "I am sorry for her, of course, but she ought to real. ise when she is well off. till, if she won't go. she will have to remain on board under your care, and I wish you joy of the affair. And new for that other ghastly bit of business. I have brought the camera, which I have sealed, and I have also the sail-maker and his mate in the boat alongside. Let us take the photos, after which they can get to work.

I hope you have no objection to serving with me, Jaezson." I said to the young follow, when he joined me once more. "I think between us we ought to hit it off very well together.""

"I am sure we shall," was his reply.

What

I want, however, is to get that body, over the side before the men come aboard. You know how smperetitions they ac, and how they'll turn and twist a thing about until they've made trouble for everyone."

"All in good time-all in good time. Let's hope for once in a way that there won't be a breez, for a few hours, for we have any amount to do. Now, if you will just turn to and see how things are forrard, and whether the rua. ning gear is as it should be, I'll go below and talk to the lady."

He jumped up immediately, and went off on his tour of inspection, while I made my way to the caddy and the lady's cabin. When knocked she came to the door almost at once. This I at first thought was a good sign, bat I was soon undeorived. The expression on her face was just as át had been before. Though she looked at me, she did not appear to, recoguise me. Her beautiful face was deadly pale, while her eyes seemal devoid of even the light of life.

"Will you come into the cuddy ?" I asked. She unhesitatingly did as I requested, and reaching the cushioned locker at the further ond seated herself upon it. Her small, beautifully shaped hand: were tightly clasped in her lap, while her eyes never wandered from the bulk- head at the further end of the saloon.

*1 do not wish to worry you unnecessarily," I coutinu d, "but is it possible for you now to tell me your name ?*

For a few minutes she did not answer, then as before she swept her hand across her eyes,

"I cannot remember," she replied. This was discouraging, but I determined to put another question,
