The speaker perhaps expected to see Norah cast down her eyes as he addressed her; but she looked up with a steady glance, and laughingly answered, "If you think that, you have very little confidence in your own resolution." Mr Carnegan was about to reply, when the captain observed, "Let me advise you, sir, to keep to the sea, unless you have some better calling in view.
Carnegan appeared to be expostulating; but the French officer refused to accede to his request, and hurried him on board, without allowing him even the opportunity of wishing farewell to Norah.

"Never heard of her till a couple of days ago, when I saw her alongside the quay," was the reply. "What, don't you know the name of Carnegan?" said Gerald. "I may know it but it isn't my name," answered the man. "Then perhaps it is O'Harrall," said Gerald. The man started. "How did you come to know that name?" he asked; adding quickly, "But that isn't my name either.
"What's that?" exclaimed the French officer. "My daughter! save her from your people!" cried Captain Tracy, hurrying towards the main hatchway. The more active Frenchman sprang before him and descended, followed by the captain and Carnegan, who, suffering from his wound, was less able than they were to move quickly. The Frenchman by his loud shouts soon let his men know that he was approaching.
