Glynn," exclaimed Ailie, in a whisper for she felt that things were beginning to look serious "what are we to do?" "Indeed, my pet, I don't know," replied Glynn, looking round and encountering the gaze of the negro in the stern, at whom he frowned darkly, and received a savage grin by way of reply.
