When the first gleam of dawn appeared in the east they were called to their work again. The lantern was still burning, and, in a quarter of an hour, the knights on the poop were able, in the broadening light, to make out three shadowy forms some two miles ahead of them.

"Hullo mater, you here?" he exclaimed genially, his face broadening with apparent satisfaction. "Yes, Robin, I am here," she said, drawing herself up. "How do you do, Miss Schultz. I seem to have got shown into the wrong room. It's a Mr. Neumann I've come to see; doesn't he live here?"
