Ross Tyler grunted. well. I've got a

This innuendo did not frighten her. She
felt sudden enormous relief, victory after
a desperate set-to. as if her muscles and her
body had been struggling against his. From
now on she needed only to play for time.
She looked up at him. her face compla-
cent white oval in the dusk, her slanting eyes
cleaning like cats.
Thought you were coming aboard" he
said.
"Why not? You'd carry me aboard any
way"
Right"
Holding her breath. she leaped on deck
and faced him.
As if that slim nervous body were beneath
his contempt, he turned to his motor. He
had hacked away enough of the tangle to
give the propeller chance. One surge
boats length head-on through the flowers

He glared at the sucking ooze, the
venomous bubbles frothing like blood on the
lips of something alive. To risk swimming in
that stuff that was neither land nor sea nor
quicksand would be like diving into the arms
of an octopus. He turned on the girl as if to
choke her. She tried to face him down.
I'm not afraid of you. she said But her
eyes were enormous.
He burst into laugh. "That'll help" His
hands that had seemed on the point of reach
ing for her throat came down and he shrugged.
Il guess you win. And now that we're here
for the night, we might as we'll enjoy our
selves. How about fapjacks, coffee, wild
duck - and the moon rising?"
He went into the cabin. Without following
him in, she watched him cutting up a duck and
putting the morsels into the Dutch oven.
