Reaching out in the darkness, he
gripped her arms. and could feel her
trembling. Her breath was coming
in quiet sobs that shook her body.
She freed herself and clasped his two
hands in hers, pressing them against
her cheek. He could feel the moisture
of her tears, and wave of compassion
flooded over him.
What are you going to do?" he
asked.
Clear right out. I'm going now. l
draw the line at murder - and when
it's y0n You're one of the few
decent men I've met - one doesn't
meet many in our game ..."
And you're leaving Fechner?" he
asked. half incredulously; she snapped
out: Hurry up if you're coming!
Are you ready now?"
"You mean it?" His heart leapt, and
he felt her wet lips pressed for an
instant against his forehead.
There's the small dinghy - we can
get ashore. But we mustn't make
sound - there's that man on the
bridge :"
"I';l never forget this. Valerie -"
But. she had taken his hand, and
already she was guiding him along
the alleyway. The deck was in dark
ness when they emerged. and Melville
could hear the slow tread of feet on the
bridge above them. The pressure of
Valerie's hand tightened. When the
footsteps retreated on the other side.
she stole quickly along the deck and
halted in the shelter of the saloon.
Hold on a moment!' she whis-
pered. her lips close to his ear. The
dinghy's just below. but we can't risk
it yet -"
Melville could feel her stiffen at his
side. The footsteps had returned, and
the man had come to an abrupt stop.
He could not have been more than
half-a-dozen yards away. Although it
was too dark to see him, Melville felt
that the watcher was peering down at
the spot where they were crouching.
And gruff voice spoke:
Who's there?"
