Capt. Francis Newcombe shrugged his shoulders. “A bit of a close shave, Runnells,” he said “I fancy you're right—last night was enough to his liking to bring the brute back again. Rather a bore, too. Unless he moves off again, he's got us penned up until low | water.”™ “That'll be 12 hours,” whimpered Runnells: *“and it'll be daylight then —and another 12 hours before we could get out when it's dark.” Capt.

They made a second circuit of the pier, but carefully now, searching minutely over every inch of sur- face. It took a long time—a very long time—a quarter of an hour— a half an hour—more.

A faint click answered him. *push, Runnells, on that square just sbove the water—it's bound to swing inward—these iron strips hide the Joints.” But he did not wait for Runnells to obey his injunction.
