wave carried her into the darkness.
She lay directly in the wake of the
yacht, and the launch was pitched up
and down by the waves made by the
rapidly moving ship with violence
of motion that was sickening. There
were a pair of oars in the boat, but
she did not break them out. She just
drew herself down in the stern sheets
and lay there waiting. She knew that
the clatter of the motor could be heard
long distance in so still a night and
over SO still sea, and therefore, al
though her impulse was to start 1t at
once. she restrained herself and
waited, watching the. yacht rapidly dis
appear. She could mark her course
easily by the light from that cabin
window. Her ear was keen and she
listened until she could no longer de-
tect the beat and throb of the steam
er's engines. Then ,she rose and
started the motor
The boat was provided with COM
PASS, and although she could see no
star, she was able to set course
which was directly at right angles to
the course of the yacht. She realized,
or at least she thought so, that she
would be pursued. She believed that
the yacht would retrace it's course.
She decided that those aboard her
would reason that she would endeavor
to put as much distance as possible
between herself and the yacht, and
therefore she would sail straight away
from it. Consequently, she went broad
off to starboard at right angles to the
other course. The gasoline tanks were
both full lnasmuch as the boat had
been designed for extended cruising
in shallow waters, there was enough
.uel to keep the motor going for over
30 hours at full speed. The motor
was capable of developing at least ten
knots per hour. BY the same time
tomorrow night she would be 240
miles away from the present spot. The
yacht was going 10 knots an hour. Her
escape would probably not, be discov-
cred for ten hours. BY that time the
yacht would be 100 miles away. They
would be $50 miles apart by morn

Born of two fanatics on the same
