TO Tetuan, she had taken steps 10 enter
into communication with the Spaniard
Her plan was simple, and it was almost
sure to succeed if she had sufficient
time.
But complication had arisen which
Namir did not expect. Carpena, owing
to the Doctors intervention mt his first
visit TO Ceuta, had been put on the sick
list, and been obliged to go into the
hospital for some days. Namir could
only loter round the hospital without
being able to get ut him. One thing she
cont 'nted herself with. and that wns
that if she could not see Carpena, neither
could the Doctor nor his agents There
was, therefore, no danger, she thought;
and no fear of escape until the convict
got back to his work on the roads.
Namir was mistaken. Carpena's
entrance into the hospital favored the
Doctors plans, and would probably
bring about their success.
The Ferrato anchored on the evening
of the 22nd of September in the Bay of
Gibraltar, which is SO frequently swept
by the easterly and south-easterly winds.
But she was only to remain there during
the 23rd The Doctor and Pierre landed
on the Saturday morning, and went for
their letters to the post-ofiice in Main
Street.
One of these, addressed to the Doctor
from his Sicilian agent informed him
that since the departure of the Ferrato,
Sarcany had not appeared at Catania,
Syracuse or Messina Another addressed
10 Pierre, was from Point Pescade, and
informed him that he was much better,
and felt none the worse for his wound !;
that Doctor Antekirtt could command
his services as soon rs he pleased, in
addition to those of Cape Matifou, who
also presented his respects. There was
third letter to Luigi from Maria 1t
was more than the letter of sister-it
was the letter of mother.
II the Doctor and Pierre hal taken
their walk in the gardens of Gibraltar
thirty-six hours before, they would
have come across Sarcanv and Namir.
The dav was spent in coaling the Fer
ratio from the lighters which carry the
Goals from the floating stores moored in
the harbor Fresh water tanks were
also replenished. and everything was in
trim when the Doctor and Pierre, who
had dined Mt the hotel in Commercial
Square, returned on board ut gun-tire
The Ferrato did not weigh anchor that
evening As it would only take her a
couple of hours to cross the straits, she
did not start till eight o'clock next morn
ing Then passing the English batter
les, she went out under full steam
towards Ccuta. At half-past nine she
was under Mount Hacho, but as the
breeze was blowing from the northwest,
she could not bring up in the same posi-
ton she had occupied three days before,
The captain therefore took her the other
side of the town, and anchored about
two cable lengths from the shore in a
small well-sheltered creek.
A quarter of an hour later the Doctor
landed at the wharf. Namir was on the
watch and had followed all the yachts
maneuvres The Doctor did not recog-
nize the Moor. whom he had only seen
in the shadow of the bazaar, at Cattaro;
but she had often met him at Gravosa
and Ragusa, and recognized him imme-
diately; and she resolved to be more on
her guard than ever during his stay at
Ceuta.
As he landed, the Doctor found the
governor and an aide-de-camp waiting
tor him on the wharf.
Good morning, my dear friend and
welcome !" said the governor. You
are a man of your word. and now you
belong to me for the rest of the day ut
least"
Il do not belong to your excellency
until you have been my quest Don't
forget that breakfast is waiting Tor you
on board the Ferrato."
And if it is waiting, Doctor Ante
kirtt, it would not be polite to keep it
waiting any longer
The gig took the Doctor and his
guests out TO the Yacht. The breakfast
was luxuriously served, and all did it
honor.
