her. love to Stephens and he did likewise.
Lady Darlington told her life story: how
,she had been battered for a title, her
yearning for absent love. She revealed
herself as the school chum of Stephens
sister. She expressed a wish to die In the
sea rather than face her former friends
and go back to the old life. A ship was
sighted. The craft proved to be a derelict.
They boarded her. She was frozen tight
with hundreds of years OF ice. The YES
,sel was the Donna Isabel, lost In 1753, l2t
years previous. The frozen bodies of the
former crew were removed. They read
the log of the Isabel, which told how
the Spaniards had died from cold, one by
one. Lady Darlington sang to prevent the
men from becoming moody. The crew
commenced the hunt for treasure. They
found the iron chest, said to contain q
