And so to-day I find when at last I take out the quadrant that we do come by a half-degree too much south, so that Curacao is now almost due north. That is what cause the delay. But we will be there to-morrow." The explanation, so completely satisfactory, and so readily and candidly forthcoming, left no room for further doubt that Don Diego should have been false to his parole.
"Better keep them thinking I'm still pretty sick," he assured Mercer. "They won't suspect there is anything between us then." Mercer was so much in sympathy with the idea that he suggested adding another half-degree. It was a splendid day for Kent. He could feel himself growing stronger with each hour that passed.

On the morning following, it slipped down another half-degree; on the third, the same; and on the fourth morning there existed no reasonable doubt that she was going to get well.
