well in view, and the rnurky uncertain
twilight was settling into clear star
lit night. Our boilers were strained
TO their utmost, and the frail shell vi
bratcd and crcakcd with the fierce en-
ergy which was driving MS along. We
had shot through the pool past the
West India docks, down the long Dept
tord Reach, and up again after round
ing the Isle of Dogs. The dull blur in
front of us resolved itself now clearly
enough into the dainty Aurora. Jones
turned our searchlight upon her, so
that we could plainly see the figures
upon her deck. One man sat by the
stern, with something black between
his knees over which he stopped. Beside
him lay dark mass which looked like
Newfoundland dog. The boy held the
tillcr, while against the red glare of
the furnace l could see old Smith,
stripped to the waist, and shoveling
Goals for dear life. They may have had
some doubt at first as to whether VIC
were really pursuing them, but now as
we followed every winding and turn
ing which they took there could no
longer be any question about il. At
Greenwich we were about three hundred
PAGES behind them. At Blackwall we
could not have been more than two
hundred and fifty. 1 have coursed
many creatures in many countries dur
ing my checkered career, but never did
sport give me such a wild thrill as this
mad, flying man hunt down the
Thames. Steadily we drew in upon
them, yard by yard. In the silence
of the night we could hear the
painting and clanking of their ma
chinery. The man in the stern still
srouchcd upon the deck, and his arms
were moving as though he were busy,
while every now and then he would
look up and measure with glance the
distance which still separated us.
Nearer we came and nearer. Jones
yclled to them to stop. We were not
more than four boats lengths behind
them, both boats flying at Il treInen-
dous pace. 1t was clear reach Of
the river, with Barking level upon
one side and the melancholy Plum
stead marshes upon the other. At
our hail the man in the stern sprang
sp from the deck and shook his two
elinched fists at us, cursing the while
in high. cracked voice. lie

there was movement in the huddlcd

how the consequential Jones WAS al
