Good-by.” Noel Sednciink returned no word, Madge bowed farewell, and then the boat, with Silly Sam and Tom at the oars rowed toward the sloop. Watching her from the deck of the cutter all saw her dash away under close-reefed sails, and then head landward. ‘“My God! is she going to run between those islands?” suddenly cried Melmer. ‘What is it?” called out Maynard eager- y ‘*The pass between those islands cannot be made in such a night—ha! I see that she is forced to attempt it, as the sea will not let her round them—ha! there they go to death —the sloop has struck!” and Melmer covered his face with his hands, while to the ears of all came the tremendous crash that told them the Blue Bell had dashed to destruc- tion. ‘“‘And they are lost?” hoarsely. ‘Yes, sir, all, for I cannot see how an one can swim in that wild sea,” replied Mel- mer. ‘*God have mercy upon them all,” was the said Maynard fervent prayer of the young commander, as | he turned away and entered his cabin. CHAPTER XL. CONCLUSION. THERE was no sleeping on board the Scor- pion on that night of storm, and as the sea subsided and winds died away with the morn- ing, Mayo Maynard ordered the life-boat, and under the guidance of Melmer rowed toward the Twin Islands, between which the Blue Bell had been wrecked. The sloop had gone sheer to pieces, under the mad beating of the waves, and debris covered the rocks; but to the amazement of all, two persons stood upon the beach, and they were hailed with a cheer, for Madge Vernon was one of them. The other was Silly Sam. They both were drenched, their clothes torn, and the long hair of Madge hung in tangled masses down her back. But her face was defiant still, though sad, ae as Mayo Maynard sprung ashore, she said: ‘Well, sir, I wrecked the Blue Bell, for I could not round the island and so had to try and run between them, which I hardly dared hope to do; but Noel Brandon has escaped the gallows.” ‘* Yes, and met a watery grave; but better that by far than the gallows. ‘‘Did vou not have some one else with you?” ‘* Yes, a poor fellow, Tom Fletcher, but he has gone with Mr. Brandon.” ‘* And how did you escape?” ‘‘Sam here is a superb swimmer and aided me, while 1 also am like aduck in the water; but I shall have to ask you to land me at my hore.” ‘*T will do so only too gladly,” and three hours after Madge took to her skiff, with Melmerand Sam, and went shoreward, while the Scorpion went on her way to report the death of Noel Brandon, the fugitive officer. And through the country spread the news of the wreck of the Blue Bell, and her brave Girl Captain became known as the Siren of the Sea, while the mystery hanging over her father and herself deepened as time went by. Silly Sam gave up carting and turned sailor, old Captain Kyd still dwelt in his hut, an object of weird interest, and the Brandons moved away from their mansion and left it deserted, so-that it soon became known as the Haunted Hall, for it was said that the ‘ghost of the Fugitive Sailor with spirit ship- mates, held nightly revels beneath its roof.
