BY the time he had run the
gauntlet of the flooded deck as
far as the main-rigging, Smith
had resumed his place alongside
a scared Chileno at the wheel.
Juan had reached the end of his
nerve and the vision of that

ship exposed her broadside to the

Now she could hear their voices,

Suspense, too poignant to be

Jacquelnie descended the stairs
with swift lightness, determined to
learn at once the reason of the
mysterious visitation of the Spook

For a moment she paused in the
