them. Curtice, still not comprehending
fully what had happened, gave her a
brief word of thanks.
"Thanks!" she flashed. " And what do
I want of your thanks? You've done
your best, but you were fools to think of
fighting me! Go, I tell you! There's the
captain's ship, and here comes his engi-
neer-the crew has deserted, but you
ought to be able to manage to get to
Curaçoa, where you will find the honor-
able father of your future wife. And
when you find him, senorita," she con-
tinued in a softer tone, "tell him we
shall be obliged for the return of our
navy, when he is quite done with it. Go,
will you? Go, before I repent!"
She followed them to the water's edge,
storming each into silence when they
would have given her words of thanks.
Mr. Hentz was waiting there with the
dingey; he greeted them as those risen
from the dead. With some difficulty they
all crowded into the little boat and
gained the Miranda J.
As for milady, she watched them safe
aboard, and then turned and went about
her businesses-sobbing, I think.
END.
