CallowsoD tried TO think. but succeeded
only in fretting; besides, his courage was
not equal to the task of ihticting himself
upon the party during the confusion in

Day after day Bridgeley and Miss Trent
paced the deck of the Etruria side by side.
The lady was q good sailor: at home she
had long been accustomed to dashing about,
with her brothers. in the bay Oh the shore
of which was her birthplace: SO the long
swell of the Atlantic had no terrOrs for
her. Day by day. too, Bridgeley found
ways of turning conversation until 1T found
its way back TO CallOwsOn. No matter
whether Miss Trent recalled the pictures in
the Louvre. the skies of Italy. the fiords of
Norway. or the cathedrals OfsEngland. she
found herself led skillfuily back to con-
