to come as close as she dared I'M
hindered.
From the foretop-mast cross-trees by
the aid of good glass Grafton had dis
covered unmistakable signs of prepar-
alton in the French fleet still wind
bound in the harbor. Many boats were
passing between tbs ships and the
shore, troops were being embarked,
and provisions and supplies taken on
board the huge line-of-battle ships and
the frigates. 1t was quite evident that
movement of some sort was in con-
temptation; and it was more than
probable that as soon as the wind
served, taking advantage of the alb
sence of the blockaders, the French
would put to sea.
That was news of the highest i'm
"portance. If they could learn the des-
tination of the fleet there would be
nothing left to be desired except an
opportunity of meeting them an OPP
portunity Hawke would make if he
were given the vestige of chance.
Hatfield" said Grafton, as he came
down from the cross-trees for the last
time, it being too dark to see farther,
Il have changed my mind. l am going
ashore to see if can not find out some
thing about the French fleet"
"And you want me to go with you?"
mo, that can not be. You must look
after the ship. l will take the dinghy
and one man, old Jabez Slocum. Now,
mark me. My plan is to land at a
little cove | know of under the lee Of
the Chateau de Josselin, about which

to the castle Immediately, and see if
there is anything to be learned there.
If not. l will take Jabez and we will
sail boldly into the harbOr and find
out what we can.
'And you will see Mademoiselle de
Rohan?"
Perhaps I hope so, though that is
not my main purpose. At least would
go even if | knew she were not there.
Now, if 1 am not back by eight bells,
midnight, you will brace up and make
the best of your way to Torbay and tell
Sir Edward what we have learned"
Eyes, but you will hardly have time
to ge there and back by midnight, Capt.
Grafton. Don't you think it would be
better to make it, say, eight bells in
