CHAPTER XIV,

1t was moment of splendid tri-
nmph for the heroine Of this mad es-
capade when she drew under the lee
of the great ship tremendously above
her. Her eyes were as keen as Car
rington's. She had recognized. or di.
vined, that the tall figure standing on
the rail Of the larger boat staring at
her was her husband She knew that
in some way they had concluded that
she would try to escape on the mer-
chantman and that they were trying
to catch that ship. She was expert
enced enough, also, to know that their
efforts would be futile and their
trouble in vain. There was only one
possible contingency which could pre-
vent the accomplishment of her de-
sires now. and that would be the re-
tusal of the captain of the ship to
stop for her when she ran him down.
Ellen had wellfilled purse and she
hoped to persuade him with that. At
any rate, she kept recklessly on, al
though the little boat came near to
swamping and Deborah, between ter
ror and disappointment. was in state
of collapse. Ellen boldly ran down
under the lee of the big ship, By
skillful handling she brought her boat
within hailing distance of the mer-
chairman.
