CHAPTER XVII.
Tho Roast

AS Roscoe fled along the beach on the
night Cayley descended upon him
through the fog, there was no doubt IN
his mind that he had seen the ghost OF
the man he had murdered and the shadow
of a black avenging spirit lowering over
his head.
When he found that his boat had gone
adrift and that his only means of get
ting back to the Aurora had gone with it,
he dropped down upon the beach. crawled
I'D into the lee of a great rock and had
spent the night there, his mind complete
ly torpid with fear.
When the numbness of this terror
nassed away, as gradually 1t did, he bent
all his thoughts upon the Aurora and
upon the possibility. not quite inconceiv-
able, that his crew had succeeded In over
towering her people and were now in pos
session of the yacht. He tried to per-
s,1ade himself that this was so and that
with the coming of the dawn they would
send a boat ashore for him.
