CHAPTER ~.


Before the evening meal had ended
the party still lingering IN the coy
quarters below over their coffee and
cigars-the yacht nee again got under
way. and steamed slowly eastward down
the Sound. II was already dusk when
we returned TO the deck and resumed
card playing beneath the awning, cleo

recall a softer. sweeter air. The men
behind me were again discussing the
war news. but their voices scarcely
reached my ears. Once I leaned for
ward. observing the red and green
lights Of an approaching steamer, as
our siren spoke, but was altogether too
negligent TO cross the deck and watch
the stranger pass by.
The fact was I could not Danish en-
tirely from mind the recollection Of
that woman whom I had seen In this
very spot the night before. I had &C
tually seen her-it was no vision. no
dream. No doubt Darlington had faith
In what he said, and possessed no sus-
/ piciOn whatever OF her presence OF the
yacht. But she was here nevertheless
why. how. for what purpose, by
whose help I could not conjecture-but
that she actually existed and was hid
den somewhere aboard, I had not the
! slightest doubt. and I must solve the
mystery alone.
But how could I prove the vision
true7 how establish. at least 70 my
own satisfaction. her identity. and pur-
poser I thought it all over again and
again. II Darlington was unaware OF
her presence-and Of this I really no
longer felt any doubt-then she must
have slipped aboard Unseen, or. per-
chance. aided and abetted by one OF the
crew. Somewhere below, where diseov-
cry was not probable except through
accident. she was kept In hiding. Yet
to accomplish this she would need as
sistance. She must have had aid In
getting aboard unseen; sOmeone who
knew Of a vacan cabin. and who coulc
supply her with food. Only an on
Ger could hope TO do this wtthou
