capadc when she drew under the Ice
OF the great ship tremendously above
her. Her eyes were as keen as Car.
rington's. She had recognized, or d..

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 mcr.
chairman and that they were trying
to catch that ship. She was expert.
cnccd 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 do
sircs now. and that would be tho re.
fusal OF the captain Of tho ship to
stop for her when she ran him down.
Ellen had IA well filled purse and she
hoped to persuade him with that. At
any rate, she kept recklessIy on, al.
though the little boat came near to
swapping and Deborah, between ter.
rOr and disappointment. was In a 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 MOI
chairman.
A man stepped on the rail to leo.
ward and stared hard ut her.
"What ship is this?' asked Ellen.
"The Flying Star Of Boston"
Ellcn's heart sank.

of Philadelphia" she cried.

"Whcrc arc you bOund?" asked FL.
