"The Curlew" dashed forward, rising and falling with the swells.

It was at once set; and "The Curlew" started on in the wake of the shower.

Then silence again, save for the long-drawn wail of a curlew.

And afar off a curlew called, and a grouse crowed in defiance.

"I can't understand what is keeping the boys from the Curlew," she said.

She addressed the skipper of the Curlew as he brought his craft alongside.

Behind him were Hawkins, Bronson and the crew of the Curlew.

As the Curlew made ready to get under way, Hawkins appeared at the rail.
