1t was already quite dusk when we
finally drew in beside Travers' wharf
and made fast. Our approach had
been noted and Travers himself-a
white-haired, white-bearded man, yet
still hearty and vigorous, attired In
white duck-was on the end of the
dock to greet us, together with nu-
merous servants of every shade of
color, who Immediately busted them

path leading toward the house, stand

difficulty an iron-bound chest, the two

alone to assist the girl.
Except to render the sloop ceIn
pletely secure for the night, there n
manned little work for US to perforrh
on board. The four Of US passed the
early evening undisturbed smoking and
talking together. So the time passed
quickly, and it must have been nearly
midnight before we brought out blan-
kets from the forecastle and lay down
in any spot we chose on deck.
1t was fair, calm night, but moon
less, with but little wind stirring, and
q slight haze in the air, obscuring the
vision. The others must have fallen
asleep Immediately. At last, despair
ing of slumber, and perchance urged
by some premonition of danger,
arose to my feet and moved silently
aft.
My startled eyes caught glimpse

Of a small sail. The strange craft |
swept past, so far out that those on
board no doubt believed themselves
beyond sight from the shore, heading |
for point of land, which
I vaguely remembered as jutting out
to the northward.
