I CHAPTER X.
* ?
The Lots of Rene.
There was the echo of $p oath, a
harsh, cruel laugh,the ' crash of
planking, a strange, half-human cry
of fright from the negro?that was all.
The sudden violence of the blow must
, have hurled'me high ihto the air, for
I struck the water clear of both boats,
and so far out in the stream that
when I came again struggling to the
surface I was In the full sweep of the
' / current, against which I had to struggle
desperately. Iu the brief second
that Intervened between Sam's shont
of warning and the crash of the two
boats I had seen almost nothing?
only that black, menacing hulk, looming
up between us and the shore, more
like a shadow than a reality. Yet now,
lighting to, keep my head above water
and not to be swept away, I was able
ta realite instantly what had occurred.
I had been mistaken; Kirby bad not
fled down the river; Instead he had
?aa?Mlv fltto nlioliM tn
MBilliJ T? iu iVU luio VUMUVV ?v <? ?
ud at a disadvantage. Convinced that
we would decide to make use of the
npwboat. which he had left uninjured
^ i pyt that very purpose, and that we
wonld venture forth just so St>on as
the night became dark enough, he had
hidden the stolen craft in some covert
aldng shore to await our coming.
.Then he sprang pn us, as the tiger
springs on his prey. He had calculated
well, for the blunt prow of tne
speeding keeiboat had struck4 us
squarely, crushing in the sides of our
frail craft and flinging me headlong.
What had been the fate of the
others I could not for the moment determine.
Thie darkness shadowed everything,
tne hulk of the keeiboat
alone appearing ip the distance,. and
that ahapelessly outlined. The craft
bore no light, and bad It nbt been for
a voice speaking I donbt if I could
have located even that. The rowboat
conld not be distinguished-?It must
have sunken, or else drifted away, a
helpless wreck. The first sound my
ears caught, echoing across the water,
was an oath, and a question: "By
?! a good job; do you see that fellow
anywhere?" |
"Naw," the response a mere growl.
"He's a goner, I reckon; never knowed
whut hit him, Jedgia' from the way
ho upended It."
"Well, then he isn't likely to bother
us any more. Suppose he was the
white man?" - t |
/"Sure he wus; It wus the nigger
?" who was up ahead. We hit him, an'
be dropped in 'tween ther boats, on'
went dowtf^Uke a stoqe. He never
* yelped but just onct, when I furst
gripped ther girl. I don't reckon as
she wus hurt et all; leastwise I never
aimed fer ter hurt her none."
"Has she said anything?"
"Not a d d twitter; maybe she^s
fainted. I dunno, Dut tnats tner way
females do. What shall I do with
the bird, Klrby?"
"Oh, hold on to her there awhile,
long as she'9 quiet. I'm going to try
the steam again,-and get outside into
the big river. H?, man, but this
hasn't been such a bad night's work."
The steam began to stzz, settling
swiftly Vato a rhythmic chugging, as
the revolving wheel 'began to churn
up the water astern. Confident oJ
being sqjely hidden by the darkness,
I permitted the current to .bear me
downward,* my muscles aching painfully
from the struggle, and with no
other thought In my mind except to
keep well out of sight of the occupants
of the boat. To be perceived by
them and overtaken In the water
ineant certain death, while if they continued
to believe that I had actually
sunk beneath the surface, some future
carelessness on their part might
yield me an unexpected opportunity to
serve Rene. The few words overheard
had made sufficiently plain the situation.
Poor Sam had already found
freedom In death, crushed between the
two colliding boats, but the firl had
been grasped in time and hauled uninjured
aboard the heavier craft. This
had been the object of the attack?tos
gnin possession of her. Very evidently
I had not been seen closely enough
to be recognized by Kirby. In a measure
this afforded me a decided advantage,
provided we ever encountered
each other again?and I meant that
we should. The account between us
was not closed by this incident; far
from it. There In that black water,
struggling to keep afloat, while being
swept resistlessly out Into the river,
with no Immediate object before me
except to remain concealed by the
ell of darkness, I resolved solemnly
to myself that this affair should never
end until it was ended right. In that
moment of decision I cared not at all
for Rene Beauc^Jre's drop of negro
blood, no? for tr 'act that she was a
slave in her master's hands. To my
mind she was but a woman, a sweet,
lqyable, girlish woman, in the unrestrained
power of a brute, and dependent
alone on. me for. rescue. That was
enough; I cared for nothing more.
With silent strokes I waited patiently
until the steady chugging of the engine
grew faint in the distance, and
then finally ceased entirely.
Uncertain which way to turn, and
conscious of a strange lassitude, I
k made no struggle to reach land, but
permitted myself to be borne downward
in the grip of the water. Suddenly
something drifted against my
body,_a black, .ill-defined .object, toss

ognlzing instantly the shell of pur

and so filled with water the
added weight of my body would have
sunk it instantly. 1 Yet the thing toi
mained buoyant enough to float, and
I clung to its sterm thankful even for
this slight help.

uujugu i uecuoje aware inai me sweep
; of the current was steadily bearing us
farther out' toward the center of the
i broad stream, ahd soon felt fconvinced
! that escape from my predicament
i would be impossible until after daylight
The struggle to keep afloat was
j no longer necessary, and my head
sank In relief on the hands gripping at
(the boat's stern, while we floated silently
on through the black mystery.
' Suddenly the wrecked boat's bow
grated against something Immovable;
' then became fixed, the stern swinging
slowly about, until it also canght, and
I could feel the full volume of down,
pouring water against my body. The
I blindly floatipg boat had drifted
I upba a snag, seemingly the major porj
tion of a tree, now held by some spit
of sand. I struggled vainly in an attempt
to release the grip which hlld
us, but the force of the current had
securely wedged the boat's bow beneath
a limb, a bare leafless tentacle,
making all my efforts useless. I found
a submerged branch oa which to
stand, grippe<Kthe boat desperately to
prevent being swept away, and waited
for the dawn.
It seemed a long while coming, and
never did man gaze on a more dismal,
ghastly scene than was revealed to
mb by those first gray gleams dimly
showing in the far cast. All about
stretched utter desolation; wherever
mv eyes turned the vista was the
same?a wide stretch ofrestless brown
water surging and leaping past, bounded
by low-lying shores, forlorn and deserted.
' How far I had aimlessly drifted
downstream during the^night was a
mere matter of conjecture. I possessed
no knowledge of where I was.
Each bank of the river appeared about
equally bare and desolate, entirely devoid
of promise. .However, I chose
the west shore for my experiment, as
the current seemed less strong In that
direction, and was about to plunge in,
determined to tight a way across,
when my eyes suddenly detected a
faint wreath of smoke: curling up/into
the pale sky above a headland far to
the southward. As I stared at this
it became black and distinct, tossed
about in the wind. I watched intently,
clinging to my support, scarcely
trusting my eyesight, while that first
wisp deepened into a cloud, advancing
slowly toward me. < There waa no
longer doubt of what It was?unquestionably
some steamer was pushing Its
course upstream. Even before my
ears could detect the far-off chug of

sharp point of the headland and came
forth into full view, heading out
toward the middle of the river in a
search for deeper water.
It was an unusually large steamboat
for those days, a lower river packet,
I guessed, with two funnels painted
yellow and a high pilot house surmounted
by a huge brazen eagle. At
first, approaching rae, bow on, I could
perceive but little of its dimensions,
nor gain clear view of the decks, but
when it veered slightly these were revealed,
and I had a glimpse of a few
figures grouped forward, the great
wheel astern splashing the water, and
between a long row of windows reflecting
the glare of the early sun.
Even as I gazed at this vision a' flag
crept up the slender stafT at the bow
and reaching the top rippled out in

white front of the pilot house?Adventurer
of Memphis.
Indifferent at that moment as to
where the approaching boat might be
bound, or my reception on board; desirous
only of immediate escape from
my unfortunate predicament, I manured
to remove my sodden coat and
furiously wave It In the air as a signal.
At first there was no response,
no evidence that I had even been
seen; then slowly, deliberately, the
steamer changed Its course and came
straight up the river, struggling
against the full strength of the current.
I could see a man step from
out the pilot house onto the upper forward
deck, lean out over the rail and
speak to the others below, pointing
toward me across the water. A halfrtn?.en

ready for action, their figures growing
more shandy defined as the struggling
craft approached. The man above
stood shading his eyes with one hand
and gesticulating with the other.
Finally the sound of his voice reached
me.
"Hey! you out there I If you can
swim jump for it. I'm not going to
run into that snag." r i
I measured the distance between us
with my eye and leaped as far out as
possible, striking out with lusty
strokes. The swift current swung me
about like a chip, and swept me downward
in spite of every struggle. I
was squarely abreast of the boat, already
caught in her suction, and being
drawn straight in toward her
wheel, when the looped end of a flying
noose .struck my shoulder.
| ~rsKeep your head,- istf f**' Toared' -out
a hoarse voice. "Hang on now, nn'
we'll get ytr."
It was such a rush, such a breathless,
desperate struggle I con scarcely
recall the details. All I really remember
Is that I gripped the Tope and
clung; was dragged under again and
again; was flung against the steamer's
side, seemingly losing all consciousness,
yet dimly realising that out1
stretched hands grasped me and lifted
me up by main strength to tbo narrow
footway, dropping mo there in

"H?1 alone knows," dryly. "Yellei

"Supplies! For Yellow Banks?" In
surprise. "Why, what's going on
there? My friend, there aren't ten
families within a hundred miles ol!
that place."
Mapes laughed, his mouth opening
like a red gash, exhibiting a row ol
yellow fangs. I
"No, I reckon not; but thar's a h?1
ov a lot o' fellers thar whut ain't families
but kin eat. Didn't yer know,1
pardner, thar's a right smart war on;

We Mi mnnin' 'tween St Louoe' an
New Orleans, till the gov'ment took
us. Maybe the captain kin tell yer?
sumwhar up Rock river, I reckon,
wharever that Is."
We climbed the steep steps to the
upper deck, and were met at the head
of the ladder by the captain, evidently
desirous of looking me over. He was j
a solidly built individual, wearing j
white side whiskers and a bulbous
nose, and confronted me not altogether
pleasantly.
"All right, are you? Water pretty
cold yet, I reckon. Been sticking on
that snag long?"
"Several hours; Dut my douc was
wrecked before we lodged there."
The captain laughed and winked
aside at the mate.
"Seems to be a mighty populous
river up this way, hey, Mapes?" he
remarked genially. "Castaways round
every bend."
"What do you mean? Have you
picked up others?"
"Certainly have. Hit a keelboat
i twenty miies Deiow. "A
keelboat operated by steam?"
"Couldn't say as to that. Was It,
Mapes? The craft had gone down
when I got on deck. Had four aboard,
but we got 'em all off an' stowed 'era
back there In the texas. You better
get along now and shuck those wet
dfothes." '
The captain turned rather sharply
away, and I was thrust through un
open cabin door by the grasp of the
mate before I could really sense the
true meaning of this unexpected news.
Mapes paused long enough to gruffly
indicate a coarse suit of clothes
draped over a stool, and was about to
retire without further words when, I
recovered sufficiently from the shock
to halt him with a question:
"I suppose you saw those people
picked up from the keelboat?"
"Sure; helped pull 'em aboard.
