Jarvise stood over his intended victim, his eyes g littering w ith a diabolic light; the blow was in tlie act of descending, when his a rm w.-is arrested. Tlie cabin was suddenly illuiuiiiated witli a blue electric liglit, and a peal of lliunder, loud as tlie crack of doom, broke over the sliip. Tlie mani;ic stood witli his arm raised as though it had suddenly been paralyzed. The crash of tho thunder awoke Capt. Dunnett from his slum b ers, and he sprang Co his feet. He took in the situa tion a t a glance: and, flinging himself on his would be m u rderer, souglit to dis arm liiiii. Tlie siruggle was for dear life, and tho m ate fought savagely. But at last the captain’s superior skill and streiigtli prevailed and J a rvise w as -tijice more a t his mercy. “ S trike, m an—strike!\ shrieked tlie mate. “ I t is y o u r life o r mine!” “ A^ou are mad, Jarvise!” exclaimed the c aptain. “ Yes, I am; but strike, m an—strike!
