He also saw the Marine Plains, and found them utterly waterless. This decided the question of the coast-line route. 'December' 11. At daylight Mr. Jardine and Eulah again got on to Lucifer's tracks, but the ground was so hard that they had to run them on foot and lead their horses. At sun-down they hit camp 33 on the river, having made only about 20 miles in a straight line.
During that time the skipper made no effort to see Flora, but was abroad from sun-up to sun-down with the men, cutting out timber for the little church as if his life depended on it. No sight or sound of Dick Lynch came back to the harbor. This gave Bill Brennen an argument in favor of loyalty to the skipper.

The steward looked up at the starry sky and said: "The moon is already tolerably high, and my lord meant to be home before sun-down." "The meal was ready," sighed the cook. "I shall have to go to work again if he does not remain all night." "How should he?" asked the steward. "He is with the princess Bent-Anat." "And my mistress," added the dwarf.
Matters remained in pretty much the same state for the rest of the day, excepting that our pursuer gradually tagged away farther and farther to leeward, until he was broad upon our lee quarter.
