Abruptly he dropped the glasses and
jumped up. Hear that!" he cried.
Now the humming of the motor was
again audible and growing louder with
every instant; and Alan, getting to his
feet in turn, infected with the excite
ment Of Barcus, could just make out
at some distance a dark shadow be-
meath the dim, spluttering glimmer of
light, that moved swiftly and steadily
toward the Seaventure.
What the devil!" he demanded,
puzzled.

Immediately Alan cast off, and as
the little boat sheered off, Barcus,
with sigh of relief, brought the Sea-
venture once more back upon her
course.
For some few minutes there was ST.
lence between the two men, while the
tender dropped swiftly astern, the
woman plying brisk pair of oars.
Then, suddenly elevating his nose,
Barcus shifted audibly. Here" he
said sharply, relieve me for a min

and have look at that motor"
In the time that he remained invis-
ible between decks the fisherman
luffed, picked up the dory and It's
occupant, and came round again In
open chase of the Seaventnre.
When Barcus reappeared it was
with grave face.

The young man slipped smartly

his hand toward a vessel moored
alongside the wharf: There she Is,

He led briskly across the wharf,
down a gangplank, then aft along the
deck to a companionway, by which the
two men gained comfortable and
roomy cabin, bright with fresh white
enamel.
Here the light Of the cabin lamp re-
vealed to Alan's searching scrutiny a
person of sturdy build and independent
carriage, with a roughly modelled,
good-humored face, reddish hair, and
steady though twinkling blue eyes.
