at sea would they be safe or able to

IL only / might once succeed in get

perhaps, and mingle unnoticed among

convinced / could locate the Namur.
But could / hope to attain the ship in

My brain throbbed with fresh resolu-
tion-the call to action.
There were oars in the boat. l
shipped the useless rudder inboard
and chose my course from the stars.
My boat had drifted considerably far
Their out into the bay than had sup

hour cf steady toll at the oars before

lines of the shore. At first l could
identify nothing, but finally there sud
denly arose, clearly defined, the gaunt
limbs of dead tree. bearing a faint
resemblance TO a gigantic cross, that
had been pointed out on the slOOp.
This peculiar mark was at the extrem-
ity of the first headland lying north
of the point itself, and consequently
a straight course across the bay would
land me within five hundred yards of
where the Namur had last been at
anchor.
To a degree my immediate plan of
action had been definitely mapped out
within my own mind while toiling at
the oars. l would beach my dory and
strike out on foot directly across the
narrow neck of land. The Namur was
not so far out from shore as to make
swimming TO her a dangerous feat,
and 1 could approx IN and board her

that manner than by the use of boat.
The greater danger would come after
l had attained the deck, wet to the
skin. The sharp bow of the dory ran
up on TIE soft sacd of the beach, and
l stepped ashore.

consciousness of the rockies nature

must admit there was the one chance

If Dorothy Fairfax was already il the

portunity for serving her lay in my
being close at hand. No alternative
presented itself; no other effort could
be effective. 1t was already too late
to attempt the organization of a res
cue party. No the only choice left
was for me either TO accompany the
girl or else abandon her entirely to
