At first this new element merely served to add to his utter mental tonfusion. Coming on top of all that had gone before. the sudden- oess and violence of its slashing at- tack robbed him of the ability to gather his scattered senses togeth- er, and for a time he crouched im- mobile. conscious only of his im- mediate physical misery.

At. the end of ten minutes or so.'

however. the first fury of the storm had slackened off somewhat, and he found himself beginning to zhink more or less coherently a- gain. The doivnpour was still al- nnst as heavy as ever, but it had ost. its initial stunning violence. and he was able to collect himself 'or the first time and take stock of his situation.

It was a slow process. for his mind was still dazed and sluggish from the effects of his recent psriences, but gradually his brain cleared and he found himself tak- ing a slightly more hopeful view of things.

It seemed to him now that his first fear that the island would be entirely submerged was at least premature. in the original convul- sions it had apparently stink with appalling swittness, but unless this was merely a temporary re- spite and a further series of earth- quakes were yet to come, he could see no obvious reason why the water should gain height from its present level.

Nor was this assumption based on reason alone, for in the course )f the iast quarter of an hour i seemed to him that the thunder- )us uproar from below had de- :reased to a remarkable extent. It had been muffled and subdued iy the roar of the torrential down- pour at first, but even now that the worst. violence of the storm had passed. he could barely hear it above the steady drumming of the rain.

At the moment this struck him as no more than an indication that the flood was no longer actually rising. And if that were the case -

nnd no ftiriher cataclysm came -)

he realized that he now stood a fair chance. of survival.

It still seemed almost too good to the "In had hem, W "U5 33' "W '""”t "ill" he Md have flattened out the big seas that

Another ten minutes passed. It ,was still raining heavily, and he Iremained where he was, without 'moving. except to case his cramped limbs now and again. The night iwas as black as ever, and he could .'see riothiiig of his surroundings. but what struck him as little short of amazing was the fact that he could no longer hear the sound of tthe sea from below.

out to nothing more than a driz- tile. The darkness was still so iii- itense that it was useless to attempt moving about. even if he had any definlte plan in mind - which he had not. There was nothing to be -done but wait for daylight, which could not be far off now. Occa- sional dull crashes came from the blackness below, as though the heaped-up mass of shattered lim- ber was settling itself. but even the curious swirling, rushing noise now seemed to have grown more ldistant.
