 An exclamation from Veronica made me look up from the little stove and the copper kettle.
 Look there!" said Veronica.
 I stood to look through the screen. A long, black vessel with two fat short tunnels lay motionless straight ahead.
 "D'you think-'
 "That he means to have a few words with us? Oh, yes, no doubt about that. See his signal2"
 l could n9t read the flags. but Veronica knew them. We were re- qucsted to heave to.
 Are you going to-" I asked.
 What say? Shall we? Or pretend not to know anything about signals and just show him our heels?"
 I did not know much about the laws of the sea. But I expected it was bad form not to stop when a long, ugly warship asked you to do so.
 "A naval boat, isn't she?"
 "Yes," said Veronica. "French de- strOycr-coast patrol from Cher bourg, or maybe Brest. We're doing no harm, and if We were it's no af- fair of his. What say? Are you game?"
 It was a rather unfair questions: I could scarcely refuse to be game for anything if Veronica was game for it.
 Then began the exciting match over five miles between Fiftipor (owncr, A. Roylc; captain, V. Sea brolc) and LAnguille (oWncr, the French Republic; captain, Licuten- ant F, des Falleaux).
 The conditions of the contest were peculiar. The destroyer could not come within five miles of the shore whereas I'iftipcr had the whole bay open to her on the rising tide.
 Veronica, with her eyes shining, took a sharp turn to port headed for the point at the western extremity O fthe bay, and opened out, Fiftiper began to move-25, 30 and quickly up to 40. We sank into the groove we cut, and the destroyer, now on our starbOard beam, perhaps two miles

Chapter 20 PURSUIT

Our craft floated rapidly with the tide. Veronica had the wheel in her hands doing her best to keep Fiftipcr from the shoal waters as she drifted down first stern foremost and then broadside.
 Now" said Veronica, "does any body know anything about engines ?'
 Cousin John and l would have roared with laughter al less seri- ous moment. The idea of com mandeering a complicated craft like Fiftiper, slipping moorings, falling down towards the sea, and knowing that pursuit was probable, then ask ing that question.
 Neither Cousin John nor I knew engines, but Veronica was not wor- ried.
 T only asked" said she, "becausc engines are so messy. I know 'em, but I hate 10 touch 'em. How eyer, here goes. I'll get ready to start up as soon as she begins to feel the Channel. No lights till we get out side"
 Veronica had switched off the riding light
 Dick. keep a sharp lookout. Tom, take the wheel"
 And this amazing young woman got down into the cockpit.
 Tt might be as well 10 see wheth- CT there's petrol in the tank, Nc- ronica," said Cousin John.
 She found two large tanks full petrol enough for a long run.
 Approaching Standpoint, we lost ell shore lights except the red lamp of the ferry at Passage. The drift ing boat began 10 rise and fall on the Channel swell and appeared 10 lose way
 Now them" said Veronica. 'T'll take the wheel. Tom, you keep q lookout with Dick. You can only see straight ahead. But that's all you want Nothing will hit us behind and Fiftiper can make rinGf round any thing coming up or down Channel
 I gave up the wheel and crOuChed behind the wind screen, Veronica sat in the middle with a sort of dash board in front of her; as well as the engine instruments it had small compass under a dash-light.
 She switched in an electric starter and got the engine going with q noise which to my ears sounded as though it must be heard all over England. She let in her clutch. I'ifti- per trembled and moved.

 "Half-past 1t," said I.

worked round to 2 and beyond till it stood steady just under 30. Fifti- per slid through or rather over the water.
 Our most unpleasant sensation was cold. We had rushed away from Woodcot without the slightest preparation. Rugs and some heavy oilskins kept the wind from biting. We spoke hardly at all.
 Vcronica's ncarness colored my re- flections. In the excitement of her mood she had called me by my first name. and. greatly daring. I had called her Veronica and met with no reproof. It might mean .
 Hour after hour We roared and bumped from swell to swell across the Channel. It was a lovely sum mer night. We met with no mishaps.
 A hundred times on that journey I wanted to cry out: "What's it all about? Who are you? Why are we here?" But Neronicas little steel strung figure and the pucEcr on her forehead kept me quiet. I would leave it 10 Veronica to explain in her own way at her own time.
 Under her direction I got out Royle's water-tight tin of cakes and biscuits
 That was all tho incident until at 3 o'clock we made out q coast line 10 or 15 miles away,
 "Know where we are, Veronica ?' Cousin John asked.
 "If I know. The Seven Islands to port. TriagoX to sfarboard. I've been here often before"
 But it was q little wonderful a girl should set off from the Eng fish shore near midnight and naVi- gate so accurately she sighted the coast not more than 1o miles from the point at which she aimed. Nc- ronica pooh poohed any credit.
 "Excollcnt," said Cousin John. But how do We get ashor"?"
 Afraid we wadc-or you do, Dick, Youl be able to dry off, dress and vamoose before anybody at Sail> Bichcl sees you."
 The boat now ran westward about five miles outside the light on inc He de Bono, one Of the Seven Is lands,
 We had seemed 10 have tiro sea to ourselves, but I happened 10 look back and saw a vessel discharging a great quantity of smoke which smudgcd the eastern sky. I cried out.
 "Andy's binoculars are in that locker" said Veronica. "Havc a look at him, Dick"
 Cousin John steadiod himself
 "Tve got him." he said, "Warship of sorts-he's signaling something. Whats it, Veronica"
 "Here-eivc me the glass and take the wheel"
 'International code" she said. 'A-r-r-c-t-c Stop Would ho. by gum, Not this child We don't sec the signaI.'

away, was invisible because of the wave We raised.
 But she did not let us forget her existence. There came over the Wa ter the loud shrieking of her siren. Veronica slowed down to take a look at her.
 Clouds of black smoke poured from her tunnels and the white blob at her fOrefeet showed that she mov- ed quickly on course parallel to ours, and across the arc of the bay.
 What a lark" cried Veronica. Hes in a shocking bad temper! I suppose 25's his top speed. We shall fetch the point with miles to spare. Wish we had a siren: we'd play duets with him."
 Fiftiper's engine roared again and she settled by the stern till her rival was once more invisible. Veronica, shedding water from hat face, and oilslNn, chuckled:
 Great. isn't it?"
 E'iftiper was running at 50 and the sound of the siren weakened.
 Now he'll see our heels!" said Veronica.
 But he was not done with. I leaped to my feet at the concussion of a gun. Even Veronica looked startled.
 But she said, "He really is in a temper, isn't hc?' and pushed the throttle wide open.
 Fiftipcr took another knot or two, but that was as much as she could do.
 Veronica and l jumped nervous ly again; the gun boomed a second time, and on this occasion a shot dropped into the sea 300 or 400 yards ahead of us. Veronica thrC-- tied down at once.
 Anyhow, l didn't guess he w@s going to be as nasty as that," she completed her remark.
