He.could hear them talking down in-the-general store, which also em- braced the post office. Swapping gos- ‘sipy-asking for peas, or flour, or whatever the need of the moment might be—but he had never heard “anyone asking for a letter for Joe Lazarre. Discreet inquiries had con- vinced him after three days that no one in Cap & l'Orage either knew or -had heard of Joe Lazarre. * The club therefore was the: only femaining hope in this neighbor- ‘hood. Dr. Tremblay had stated that on the occasion when he had visited the club, he had seen only his ‘patient, a man named Gregg, and “Mr, Kenniston. He had not heard the @ame of Lazarre mentioned; but that really meant nothing. This bad been several weeks ago, just before ~ Dr. Tremblay had taken ill. Colin drew deeply on his cigarette. Failing the club, what was he to do? ‘Wander from place to place along the coast? That had been his orig- inal plan, but somehow now he did mot want to wander—from Cap & VOrage. But Lazarre must be found. “It was not merely a matter of de- the letter in the inside posket of his coat. It was what the bilities of direct contact with eer might mean.

It srould’be far better to leave the ques- tion of Lazarre and the club until to- Morrow or even the next day. “So a really, truly fog isn’t nice, eb?” he grinned. “Well, then, let's forget the club. I suggest that we turn back.” “Suggestion overruled!” She was very prim, regarding him sternly— laughter twitching at her lps. “But I only meant in case you théaght we were in for it,” he ex- plained. “I know.” She nodded her head. "And that's just exactly the point. It we're in for a real fog, the very last thing to do is to turn back now, for the simple reason that we wouldn't ret back.

Do you know what the Bonaventure does in case of fog?” “No,” Colin admitted. “I'm afraid I don’t.” “Tl tell you, then. She anchors and waits. The Gulf produces the genuine article in fogs, and we yield to no one, not even London, in that respect.” “Quite! I see!” he agreed. “But not being able to drop anchor in deep water, and not being the Bona- venture, what do we do under euch circumstances? Wend our way homeward by skirting the shore, and—” “And almost certainly wrecking our boat?” she interjected. “For the coastline to be of any use as a guide, don’t you see how close in we would have to keep? And there are tides here, and half-covered rocks, and shoals.” “Well, then?” little helplessly. “Well,” she smiled at him, “we go ashore before it is too late—and, like the Bonaventure and Captain Rainville, wait.” Colin touched his cap. “All right, skipper!” humbly. “What's ‘the course?” “No change,” she said. “Straight for‘ the point. We're nearer there than anywhere else now anyhow. It will take us about fifteen minutes, and by that time we'll know. These thin mists often disappear almost as quickly as they come, and if that proves to be the case in this in- stance, we'll continue on around the point and make for the club just as we intended todo. If it gets bad, we'll land.” “Right!” Colin responded. he challenged a T wasn’t getting any better out there to seaward. His eyes swept the coastline in turn. They were a longish way out. His lips tightened a little. He did not like the way she was speeding up the engine. Five minutes passed. A fleecy patch of mist drifted across the bow of the boat. It was growing thick out over the Gulf—gray-white, eerie- looking. The point, though they had been approaching it rapidly, was less distinct. “T fancy we're in for it,” Colin ob- served seriously. “Yes,” she said, “and for one of those real ones I was speaking about, Tm aid, We'll have to land.” The boat sped on. The ehore line began to lose its character—to sea- ward, nothing but that gray-white wall, It grew thicker still—a pall settling down remorselessly every- where around them. The poiut itself, their objective, while still visible, was, close though they wete to it now, only a hazy outline. Germaine throttled down the en- gine to halt epeed. » “You called me ‘skipper’ a little While ago, I \believe?” she ques- tioned with mock austerity. “Absolutely!” “Very well, then,” she command- ed, “up for’ard with you! It’s just about low tide, so keep your eyes open for partly covered rocks, and also for a sandy epot to beach the boat, Let me know when you have way enough on to make the shore.” “Aye, aye, sir!” he said heartily— and, making his way forward, took up his allotted station in the bow. Tt was incredible, the opaqueness of this cursed fog and the sudden- ness with which it had descended upon them! He strained his eyes ahead, The boat's length seemed to be about the limit of visibility; but that looked like a sandy stretch over there a little to the left. He eteered for it. “All right!” he called out. “Shut her off! Way enough!” And then the boat struck—struck with an impact that caused her to quiver from bow to stern. One of those infernal rocks, half covered, that Germaine had warned him about! Howe it had only been a glancing blow, The boat slipped off | now into deep water again, and still with some way on her forged on toward the beach. “All right,” he called out again. “Just a bump! No harm done!” There was no answer. No good- natured quip such as he had ex- pected, He jerked his head around, look- ing over his shoulder. He could see the length of the boat well enough—the fog, dense as it had become, did not preclude that. She was tying there motionless on the bottom of the boat beside the | engine.
