PURSUIT
fVrR craft floated rapidly with

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

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. Ve
ronica pooh-poohed any credit.

look back and saw n vessel din
charging a great quantity of smoke
which smudged tho eastern sky. I

"Andy's binoculars are in that

"I've got him," he said. "Warship

"Whoever ho Is, he can't come in
