"Then I'll tell you who you saw," said the gambler coolly; "it was Marshall Langham." The handy-man swore a great oath. "You've guessed it, boss! You've guessed it." "It ain't a guess as it happens." "Boss, do you mean to tell me you knew all along?" demanded Montgomery incredulously. "Yes." "But what about North?" "That's his lookout, let him clear himself."

Since Tommy had gone to the Front his father was on the lookout for any one who stayed behind under the shelter of a khaki uniform and Major Harrison was said to belong to that rapidly growing unit. "Look out, Duke," he warned. "He's a great persuader, he'll have you in The Blue Bonnets before you know what's happened you."
And on the morning of the fourth day, when the sullen sea was trying to calm itself, and when the wind had died down to a moderate gale, the lookout of the Sirius called out: "Sail ho!" "Where away?" came the demand. "Dead ahead. She's a schooner, low in the water, and she's flying a signal of distress!"
