Where were you, Mr.. Clyde, when
that boat-motor, tug, or whatever
she was-crossed within ten feet Of
the ,dory we are towing?"

could not have been more dumfound-
ed.
What do you mean ?" we're the only
words that came to me.
Il mean that the craft you have
been talking about came up and went
astern of us, ten or twelve minutes
before you gave the alarm that Mr..
Cameron had vanished under your
eyes. l was on the bridge and saw it
myself-just a black shape, without
lights, and her exhaust mufIled, just
as you say. You tell me that you and
Mr.. Cameron had been sitting there
for three hours, at least; that you
heard seven bells strike; that it was
not more than fifteen or twenty min
utes altef thls that= you got up ana
went 10 the ran, ana mat you only
stood there two minutes"
q told you all Of that, and every
word IS the truth, l insisted, Yehe-
mently.
And vet !" he retorted accusingly.
and yet-eight bells had struck BE-
tore you gave the alarm
had not thought OF the time. In
my panic IL mad not occurred 10 me-
OF course 10 ascertain tue hour ana
minute. but captain macleod Knew.
