 Underneath was the drawing of the clenched hands.
 There is no longer any doubt" Lenora said calmly. Craig is on board. He must have been on deck a few minutes ago. It was his hand which placed this card on the port hole. Listen! Whats that?" There was a scream from the deck. They all recognized Laura's voice. Harris was out of the stateroom first, but they were all on deck within ten seconds. Laura was standing with one hand clasping the rail, her hand fercely outstretched towards the low CT part of the promenade deck. Through the darkness they heard the sound of angry voices.
 "What is it, Laura?" Lenora cried.
 She swung round upon them.
 "Craig!" she cried. Craig. I saw his face as I sat in my chair there, talking to the captain. I saw a mans white face-nothing else. He must have been leaning over the rail. He heard me call out and he disap- peared."
 The captain came slowly out of the shadows, limping little, and fol lowed by his steward, who was mur- muring profuse apologies.
 Did you find him?" Laura demand ed, eagerly.
 q did not" the captain replied, a little tersely. q ran into Brown here and we both had a shake-up."
 "But he was there-a second agon Laura cried out
 q beg your pardon, miss" Brown ventured, but the decks closed al tnG end, as you can see. with sail cloth, and I was leaning over the rail myself when you shrieked. There wasn't anyone else near me, and nc one can possibly have passed round the deck, as you can see for your self"
 Very well, then," she said, ''yor people had better get strait-waist coat ready for me. If I didn't sec Craig there, I'm going off my head
 Quest had disappeared some sec onds ago. He came thoughtfully back little later.
 Captain" he asked, what shal you say if I tell you that have proo1 that Craig is on board?"

 q should probably say great many things which I should regret after wards," he replied, grimly.
 "Sit down and we'll tell you wha has happened in my room," Quest con tinued.
 He told the story, calmly and with out remark. The captain held hi! head.
 "The ship shall be searched th' captain declared, "once more. Vel look into every crack and every cup board"
 Lenora turned away with little shiver. It was one of her rare mo ments of weakness. You won't find him! You won find him!" she murmured. And am afraid!"
 
 Lenora grasped the rails of th' steamer and glanced downwards a the great barge full of Arab sailors and merchandise. In the near back ground were the docks of Port Said It was their first glimpse of easterl atmosphere and color.
 T can't tell you how happy I am, she declared to Quest, "to think tha this voyage is over. Every night have gone to bed terrified He smiled grimly. Coming on shore, any of your Harris inquired.
 We may when the boat moves up. Quest replied. "The professor wen off on the first barge. Here he is coming back" A little boat had shot out from thu | docks, manned by couple of Arabs They could see the professor seated | in the stern. He was boring over small document which he held in hi hand He waved to them excitedly
 He's got news!" Quest muttered. He came straight to Quest and Len ora and gripped the former by tn arm.
 Look" he cried. Look" He held out card Quest read | aloud:

 The Hands!
 Where did you get it?" Quest dt handed
