out with the fatigue and strain of the

to her lips at the memory of the huge
shark which had played about their

this hideous experience might not all

she must soon awake?
No, it was real enough! The canoe
had pulled up before a huge dark
shadow. a ship, and Victor, raising
her to her feet, lifted her onto an in
clined plank Anne closed her eyes
as she felt herself beine carried up
that narrow bridge and onto the ship,
