sentiments were not false. after all"
II was a very frightened young woman
and an excited steward who presented
themselves before the captain few mo-
ments later. He listened to their stories
in silence--a look Of concern marking his
expression as the steward assured him
that ne had sought for the missing pas

The captain ordered an immediate and
thorough search of the entire ship from
stem to stern-no nook or Granny was to
be overlooked. Miss Strong remained IN
his cabin, waiting the outcome of the
quest. The captain asked her many ques-
tions but she could tell him nothing
about the missing man other than what
she had herself seen during their brief ac-
luaintance on shipboard. For the first
lime she suddenly realized how very little
indeed Mr.. Caldwell had told her about
himself or his past life. That he had been
BORN in Africa and educated In Paris was
about all she knew. and this meagre in
formation had been the result of her sur
