CHAPTER u.
I Meet the Mystery.

Before the evening meal had ended
the party still lingering in the coy
quarters below over their coffee and
cigars-the yacht once again got under
way, and steamed slowly eastward down
the Sound. 1t was already dusk when
we returned to the deck and resumed
card playing beneath the awning, cleo
trio lights sparkling overhead. l never
recall 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 could not Danish en-
that woman whom I had seen In this
very spot the night before. had ac-
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 on the
yacht. But she was here nevertheless
why, how, for what purpose, by
whose help could not conjecture-but
that she actually existed and was hid
den somewhere aboard, had not the
slightest doubt, and 1 must solve the
mystery alone.
But how could I prove the vision
true? how establish, at least to my
own satisfaction, her identity, and pur-
pose? 1 thought it all over again and
again. If Darlington was unaware Of
her presence-and of this l 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 discov-
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 vacant cabin, and who could
supply her with food. Only an OIL
Ger could hope to do this without
arousing suspicion. Except for the en-
gineer, Gault, whom I had not seen,
but who was hardly In situation to
render such service, there were three
who might be accomplices-the cap
tain, Turner, and the first and second
officers-Hatch and Seeley. dismissed
all thought of the first two almost In
stantly. Turner was an old sea-dog,
former naval officer, unapproachable,
ana an extremely strict disciplinarian;
while Hatch was tall, lank, slow
spoken individual. never guilty of the
slightest civility to anyone. Neither
Of these would ever aid and abet a
woman under any conceivable circum-
stances.
OF the second officer, Seeley, re-
membered Darlington had mentioned
the fact that he had been In his en-
ploy for over ten years. He was the
one most likely to listen to the plea of
a woman, and to be deceived by her:
and besides, as I suddenly recalled, 1t
was during his watch on the bridge
that the girl had ventured on deck
seeking the fresh night air.
