A wild night, certainly. Probably by
that time the little vessel was in the
middle Of the North sea, bound for
Antwerp.
The first color Of resentment ebbing
from his thoughts left him rather In

He found that he was neither pleased

OF one or two things he was convinc-

worthy Of classification with Calendar

conclusion was that those whom he
sought had boarded the Alethea, but
had left her before SIZE tripped her an
chor. That they were not slowed
away aboard her seemed unquestion-
able. The brigantine was hardly large
