But few minutes after. Barnes sud

more cartridges for his pistols, and

to the landing and disappears in the
sixteenth century architecture of the
town
Consequently, when Marina and Enid
come on deck, the latter discovers her
swain is absent and, being now in
clned to find fault with her gallant,
pouts mentally: Burton might have

But both boats being now at the
landing, the ladies are compelled to
spend their time rather monotonously
looking at the picturesque little port,
though Marina does little of this. The
very sight of France seems in some

she answers, ambiguously; and clings
more tightly to his arm
During this, Miss Anstruther, rather
moodily with marine glass inspects
the neighboring fishing boats in the

lateen-rigged fishing boat, and in the
course of two hours weary waiting,
becomes quite familiar with it's grace

About this time Barnes returns in
the cutter and is not overgraciously
welcomed by his fiancee, who. though
generally level-headed, has now nursed
the slight that she conceives her love
and trust had received yesterday. into
fervid jealousy under which each un
intentional omission of service in her
betrothed is an additional offense.
Together they pass a tiresome hour
till Leboeuf makes his appearance in
the dingy,

cook; and the great culinary artist
ascends the side ladder jabbering an

To this Edwin gives slight heed. He
is in a hurry to make an ofiing before
darkness sets in. and already has the

with his anchor and the Seagull is un
