The answer was negative-and II
was not in words. 1t was In the
shape Of quick clean blow which
clipped the mans jaw and sent him
spraying back against the rail.
Then before Julia could open her
mouth TO scream she was being
dragged swiftly along the deck by
Payson. Taking her around the
waist he half-carried her down the
stairs. fearing that in their haste
her high heels might catch against
the steps and throw her into the
water.
"The young lady is ill., Payson

But just as the man was about
