Veronica had the wheel In her lunula doing her bent to keep I'iftlper from the uUoal waters as ie drifted down first item foremost and then broadside. "Now," mild Veronica, "doeg any body know anything about en- gillPH?" Cousin John and I would have roared with luugliter at a less seri ous moment. The idea of com maml'-erinK u complicated craft like Klfliper, sliupiiiK mooringH, falling down towards the sea, and knowing Veronica's nearness colon ti my i-enclioiia. In the Xt ltrai'ritt of her mood she had called lile by my first name, mid, fcreatlj daring. I had called her Veronica and ni' t with no reproof. It might mean . . . Hour after hour we roared and bumped from we!l to swell acios the Channel. H was a lovely sum mer night. We met with no n:l hups, A hundred times on that journey I wanted to cry out: "What's it all about? Who are you? Why are we here?" But Veronica's little st'el strung figure and the pucker on lit-r forehead kept me quiet. I would leave it to Veronica to explain in her own way at her own time, I'uder her direction I got out Royle's waier-Ufcht tin of cakes and hfrilllftH. That was all the incident until at ?, o'clock we made out a coast ln:e 10 or 15 miles awuy. "Know where v.e are, Veronica?" Cousin John asked. "If I know! The Seven Islands to port, Triagox to starboard. I've been here often before." Hut It was a little wonderful a girl should set off from the Kng lifih aliure near midnight and navi gate so accurately she sighted the coast not more than 10 mile: from the point at which she aimed.

And this ama:;iug young woman got down into the cockpit. "It might lie as well to see v.heth. ?r there's patrol in the tank, Ve ronica," said Cousin John.

Tho boat now ran westward about five miles outside t lie light on tho He do Bono, one of the Seven Islands. We had seemed to have the sea to ourselves, but I happened to look back and saw n vessel din charging a great quantity of smoke which smudged tho eastern sky. I ciied out. "Andy's binoculars are in that locker," said Veronica. "Have a look at him, Dick." t Cousin John steadied himself. "I've got him," he said. "Warship of sorts he's signaling something What is It, Veronica?" "Here give me the glass and take the wheel." "International code." she said. 'A-r-r-e-t-e- Stop- Would he, by gum! Not this child!

I can go up some distance, Dick: tide's mak ing again now. There's a sandbank generally dry on the edge of the channel about a mile ahead. That'a half a mile or thereabouts trnm the little hollow you see it, all trees? You can wade from the sandbank to that point." "Idltte Veronica," said Cousin John, "you're a marvel. When I step over the side It may be good by you know that?" "Don't lie so beystly sentimental. Dick," Veronica urged ltiin. "Keep to the brass tacks. When you land beyond those houses, no back into the country tilt you can work round westward to St. Ktllam or IMestln. There's a light railway connecting with the Ouest at Moilaix.
