"Oh. Philip, Philip 1" she sobbed.
"He told me you were dead, and I be

. The manner of her greeting was de
lightful to one who had faced death
for her sake many times during the
uast hour, yet Hozler was so surprised
by Its warmth that he coma una never
a word at tho moment But he had
the good sense to throw aside the shat
tered rifle and return her embrace with
interest.
When they parted in that same
squalid hut at midnight he took with
him the Intoxication of her kiss. let

respect at least he was not mistaken.

Captain San Benavldes must accom
pany us. He says the soldiers will
shoot him If they capture him. I, too,
have mouey. Let me ask him to ex
plain matters to this dear woman and
her daughter. . They have been more
than kind to me already."
She turned to the sulky San Bena
vldes and told him what nozier had
suggested. He brightened at that and
begau a voluble speech to Lulsa Go
mez. Interrupting himself, he In
quired lu French how Hozier proposed
to reach the rock.
"On a catamaran. There are two on
the beach, and I can handle one of
them all right," said Philip. "But
what is this yarn of a warship? When
last I sighted the launch she was
standing out of the harbor, and the
first clouds of the storm helped to
screen her from the citadel."
Iris interpreted. San Benavldes re
peated his story of the rockets. In her
present tumult the girl forgot the
touch of realism with regard to the
firing that he had heard. Certainly
there was a good deal of promiscuous
rifle shooting after tbe departure of
the launch, but warships use cannon
to enforce their demands, and the
boom of a big gun had not woke the
echoes of Fernando Noronba that
night. Philip deemed the present no
time for argument. He despised San
Benavldes and gave no credence to
hlra. Just now the Brazilian was an
evil that must be endured.
Lulsa Gomez promised to . help in
every possible way. Her eyes sparkled
at the sight of gold, but the poor wo
man would hare assisted them out of
sheer pity. Nevertheless the gift of
a couple of sovereigns, backed by the
promise of many more if her husband
devoted himself to their service, spur
red her to a frenzy of activity.
There was not a moment to be lost.
The squall had spent itself, and a peep
through the chiuks of the door showed
that tbe moon would quickly be In evi
dence again. It waB essential that
they should cross the channel while
the scattering clouds still dimmed her
brightness, so Manoela and her mother
collected such store of food and milk
and water as they could lay hands on
Well laden, all five hastened to the
creek, and Hozier, Iris and San Bena
vldes boarded the larger of the two
catamarans.
When the catamaran rounded the
last outlying crag and they were all
straining their eyes to find the sentinel
pillars they became aware that a
small boat was being pulled cautiously
toward them from the opposite side
f the rock.
Iris gasped. She heard Hozier mut
ter under his breath, while San Bena
vldes revealed his dismay by an oath
and a convulsive tightening of the
hands that rested on the girl's shoul
ders.
Hozler strove with a few desperate
trokes of the paddle to reach the shad
ows of the passage before the cata
maran was seen by the boats occu
pants. He might have succeeded. uc
there was even a greater prouauuuy
that the unwieldy catamaran might be
caught by the swell aud dashed side
long against one of tbe half submerged
rocks that thrust their biacit rangs
above the water.
HanDily they were spared either al
ternative. At the very Instant that
their lot must be put to the test of
chance Coke's hoarse accents came to
their incredulous ears.
"Let her go. Olsen " he was growl
ing. "We've a clear course now, an'
that infernal moon will spile every
thing if we're spotted."
In this instance hearing was believ
ing, and Philip was the first to guess
what had actually occurred.
"Boat ahoy, skipper!" he sang out In
a lovous hall.
Coke stood up. He glared bard at
tbe reef.
"Did ve 'ear it?" he cried to De
Sylva. "Sink me, I 'ope I ain't a-copy
in pore ole Watts, but If that wasn't
Hozler's voice I m goin' dotty."
"It's all right, skipper." said rhlllp,
sending the catamaran ahead with a
mighty sweep. "Miss Yorke is here
Captain San Benavldes too. I was
sure you would look for us if you
cleared the harbor safely."
Then Coke proclaimed his sentiments
in tbe approved ritual of tbe high sens,
while the big Norseman at the oars
swung tbe boat's neaa rouna uuiu
both craft were traveling In company
to tbe waiting launch. Before any
thing In tbe nature of an explanation
was forthcoming from the occupants
of either the boat or the catamaran a
broad beam of white light swept over
the crest of tbe Island from north to
south. It disappeared to return more
slowly until It rested on Rat island,
at tbe extreme northwest of the group.
It remained steady there, showing a
wild panorama of rocky heights and
tumbling sea.
