The Chase. oe OR the next few days Holmes, dis- F sulsed asa sailor, was absent most of the time, looking for the “Au- rora."’ Meantime, I spent many hours with Miss Morstan. They were the hap- Plest hours I had ever known. At length, one evening. Holmes re- turned to our lodgings In great excite- ment. He had brought with him Athel- nay Jones, the police Inspector in charge of the case, “We have them!" Holmes exclaimed “The ‘Aurora’ has been hidden in docks for some days to throw off the scent. 1 learn from the boys I've engaged where she is, and also that she puts out to- night to meet a ship bound for the continent.

Jones yelled to them to step. We wore Not more than four boats’ lengths be- hind them, doth boats flying at @ tre- mermdous pace.
