 Who's there?' It was Bess who asked the question:

 Lucky you aint met the other man,' she said as she swept her skin alongside the bank
 Lucky for him, you mean. I'll take the oars, added Darlington, as he entered the skiff.
 Slowly the clearing lifted out of the darkness. then the keel boat became distingufshabIe; and Darlington checked the skiff by a backward stroke of the oars.

 There was no immediate answer to his hail, and he called again as he sent the skiff forward He felt that he was risking all now.
 What do you want?" asked surly voice.
 You want Slosson," quickly prompted the girl in a whisper

 SIosson swore with surpassing hu- ency.
