Both the captain and I turned to the windows to wave a farewell to the sad ones we were leaving behind, who gathered about the bars for a last view of us, for strange as it may seem, the mere sight of happiness is often a pleasure for those who are sad. A coach in private arms and livery was in waiting, surrounded by a crowd.
He no longer felt the slightest doubt regarding Albrecht's desertion, and a wave of indignation swept over him. He did not greatly care himself regarding the small amount of money due for his services, but it was a dirty, contemptible trick, and he resented being so easily made the victim of such a scheme. Suddenly he wondered how this unexpected occurrence might affect the others.
As often as he would strive to stand his ground, and see whether or no all the gods in heaven were in league against him, so often would the mighty wave come beating down upon his shoulders, and he would have to keep flying on and on in great dismay; for the angry flood was tiring him out as it flowed past him and ate the ground from under his feet.
"There!" he said, rising suddenly. "Now, could you have done it quicker?" "No!" she laughed. He straightened himself. His back was towards her. She put her two hands on his sides, and ran them quickly down. "You are so FINE!" she said. He laughed, hating her voice, but his blood roused to a wave of flame by her hands.

A man may read The pale moon is setting beyont the white wave, And Time is setting with me, oh! The pathos will wring his heart; but he should not ask any youth to imitate the conduct of the great poet.

She seemed to be waiting rather than acting. Against her inner judgment, she had allowed those accursed practices to go on.
When Chessleigh was about to start the engine again and head for the camp and dinner they suddenly spied a powerful speed boat coming out from the Canadian side. It cleaved the water like the blade of a knife, throwing up a silver wave on either side. And as it passed the Lauriette Ruth and her companion could see several men in her cockpit. "There are those fellows again," Chess remarked.
