“She came to my room tonight. I

were squeezed through Dick’s closed
teeth. He pulled himself together. He
was the chief officer. “I must report
at once to Captain Baring,” he said,
automatically.
Once more Dick'looked at Joan,
whose -pale body was-moving softly
with the rise and fall of the boat. Her
rhinestones shone like cat’s eyes
through the green gloom. A dark
trickle spread over the tiles,
Macduff went down to his cabin,
which was as aiisb^ as when he bad

into ji .darkened cave. The s» rolled
smoothly under the porthole, but the
night was black and moonless. With
an effort he forced the dead girl out
of his thoughts. In a few hours nqW
he would be back in Gramercy Park.
Angela would be on her way to Eng

her heart stand the strain of her

Macduff got up and examined the
brass ring. How in hell had she man
aged to do it? ITiat was something
he never would be aWe to understand.
He’d see how far he could push him-
:self through, and what the water was
like Jbom a fiorthole at night. Catch
ing the rim, he polled himself up by
his arms. Hts head went out, and he
saw the water below, smooth as bla^

His should^x balked him at once.

With a aharp recoH he thought of
Joan again, and wondered if her body

Every move took time. At last he
donned his striped pyjamas and pull
ed down the covers of his brass bed.
Climbing between the sheets, he lay
on his side, smoking and thinking. To
morrow th^ would land. Damned nui
sance, cuidoms and all that bother!
Angela wouldn’t be there, but on her
way to England. How strangely
Joan’s beads had flashed in the.green
light! The only thing about her that;and eager,

with a fur around her shoulders. Her] (The End),

“Good-moming, Angela.”
“Macduff, I’m glad 'to see you. I

“Yes, really.”
They stood doee together and

Angela could imagine thouMnde of

“An exciting city!” she exclaimed.
“Ye«, if yo^get what you want in

“I shall feel quite dull when I get

that, all over the world, Japanese and
