Dinah recoiled before the unshackled fury that suddenly blazed in the gipsy eyes that looked into hers.
Her engines breaking down, she drifted upon a sand-bank; and the attacking ships pounded her at their leisure, until, with the fire bursting from her portholes, she was abandoned by her crew, and blazed away until her career was ended by the explosion of her magazine.
