The rim of the moon showed itself in the East. They watched it climb out of the sea, casting a lame of white light across the water. Now they glimpsed the derelict more clearly. It seemed to be riding easily, the deck no longer awash, although the hull was sunk low. Suddenly the girl sprang to her feet and faced Trask. her hands clasped andl her eyes shining. “TLet's say good-by to it!" she crled. “Aboard of it!" { Trask stared at her in astonish-| ment. “Of course you’re not serious,” he #aid, with a little laugh. “‘Absolutel “But the thing’s impossible, even if it were not crazy. “It's neither impossible nor crazy,” she said with emphasis. “I think a great idea.” ‘Do you imagine they'll lend you a boat and a crew to take.you there?” Certainly not.

He ook his head and again. “They’d never let you ride in that, Sidne; ‘They won’t know it!” she declared. “You can haul me out to it and haul me back. “A fine chance of my doing that.
