The most curious part of the festi-

Carrington's. to determine whether he

continually on opposite courses. split

into the harbor. and 1t was not until
they had passed and repassed each
other several times that Darlington
became convinced that he was gain

ever was slight one. The differ

the two boats was not very great.

Darlington studied the sea intently
and concluded that II the wind did not
shift and It did not come to blow hard
er than II was. there was every pros
pect that both boats would overhaul
the ship. Whether he could beat
Strathgate at that game however. In
the time at his disposal was a ques
ton. At any rate there was nothing
to do but hold on. Master Haight had
viewed Carrington's usurpation of tlr
helm with some misgiving at first,
but his distrust soon gave place to
admiration. for never was small

naval officer. II Darlington had been

She hoped that the touch had been so
