Braine laughed.
And Jim's boat ran afoul some

Norton recognized that he had

Braine. The recognition between
them was now frank and absolute:
there could never again be any dip

painted Braine. as he reached for
the reporters throat.
Norton said nothing, but struck
the hand aside. For a moment they

she heard the newcomers call en-

She knew little about motors. She

straight toward the rowboat. The

alter her course. The rowboat had
its sides crushed in and the men
went piling into the water.
