The sun, rising above the calm waters of the Straits, marked its own path by a streak of light that glided upon the sea and darted up the wide reach of the river, a hurried messenger of light and life to the gloomy forests of the coast; and in this radiance of the sun's pathway floated the black canoe heading for the islet which lay bathed in sunshine, the yellow sands of its encircling beach shining like an inlaid golden disc on the polished steel of the unwrinkled sea.
We all looked just in time to see the Guernsey gallop madly across the garden, plough her way through the sweet corn, and disappear gaily over the fence, heading for the trolley-tracks, with Amos a close second as she took the hurdle. Bee's English coachman, who took great pride in the kitchen-garden, hastily followed to see what damage she had done, but at Mrs.
"A storm or something else," said Cahusac grimly. "Have you noticed that?" He pointed away to starboard. Levasseur looked, and caught his breath. Two ships that at the distance seemed of considerable burden were heading towards them some five miles away. "If they follow us what is to happen?" demanded Cahusac. "We'll fight whether we're in case to do so or not," swore Levasseur.
It was almost midnight when they left the Major's office, a gloomy trio, walking silently up the ramp to the Main Concourse, heading toward the living quarters.

"We're about three hours behind him so we ought to catch him in about an hour or so from now unless he steers a course different from that taken by other vessels. He's heading for the Dry Tortugas." "Shall we boost the engines a little?" urged Tom. "No; better let them go as they are," replied Jack.
Somerville Darrah is safely at the other side of the continent and well out of ordinary reach of the wires." Adams came to attention with a half-hearted attempt to galvanize an interest in the business affair. "Tell me more about this mysterious jangle we are heading for," he rejoined.
We learn from the last despatch of Captain Hunt that he intended to take a northern course heading eastward toward the coast of California rather than southward toward the Equator. At the instance of Mr.
By the time that breakfast was over the ship had drawn well down toward the southern extremity of the island; and at length the peak was brought to bear by compass north-west by west-a-quarter-west, by which I knew that it and the passage through the reef were now in line. Accordingly we bore up and wore round, heading straight for the peak.
"And so here we are," Jack observed, after they had passed out from Sandy Hook and were heading across toward troubled Europe, "going back to duty, before our leave of absence will have expired, and the three weeks already nearly half over.
