Selene, now known as Martha, paid no heed to the crowd, but with her blind brother Helios, now called John, went calmly on her way which led from the raised bank down to the landing-quay.
Well, Tregarthen swung off in a huff, took his way down across Pare Coppa it was there, just under the Cam, that the outbreak occurred apparently for the landing-quay by the school, where his boat lay. He left Sir Cæsar and Sam Leggo standing there." "At what time?" "The time, according to Leggo, was close upon sunset.
"And, moreover, she has not returned: her boat is not at the landing-quay." "A moment, sir!" interposed Tregarthen. "I see what you fear, and it is terrible. But one thing is not plain to me at all. Vashti took her own boat, we hear. Now, suppose that the shot wounded her, or worse, still we have the boat to account for: and the boat, you say, is not to be found."

As he climbed the field, however, towards the Carn, on the summit of which he had left Sir Cæsar seated, he saw three small children running along the cliffs to his left, making for the slope towards the landing-quay, and recognised them for Tregarthen's three children. He called to them to stop, for they seemed to be running in a panic.
I saw him lift his hat to a man seated in the stern-sheets, who stood up and saluted politely in response. The two boats drew close alongside, while their commanders conversed, and after a couple of minutes resumed their way abreast and drew to the landing-quay, where Dom Basilio stood awaiting them.

The Good Hope, I was informed, still lay a short distance below the town, where for some reason she had anchored during the night.
