Through the half-dark the Indian glided towards the door. The unconscious prisoner lay face down. "Turn him over," ordered Radisson. As our men rolled him roughly over, the captive uttered a heavy groan. His arms fell away from his face revealing little Jack Battle, the castaway, in a haven as strange as of old. "Search him before he wakes," commanded Radisson roughly. "Let me," I asked.
"I haven't had a thing to eat for twenty-four hours." We gasped again. "How did it happen?" "I was shipwrecked," she said, "in a motor-car I am the only survivor " Her eyes twinkled. "I'll tell you all about it presently." Then she broke off and laughed. "But first will you feed a starving castaway?" Yet she didn't really tell us anything.
"Romances have cracked her brain!" said Dame Ursula; "she is a castaway girl utterly distraught loves a Scots lord and likes him the better for being unfortunate! Well, mistress, I am sorry this is a matter I cannot aid you in it goes against my conscience, and it is an affair above my condition, and beyond my management; but I will keep your counsel."

He patted Bertrand's shoulder lightly, and turned away.

"Hurrah for the captain of the Golden Wave!" cried Sam, swinging his cap in the air. "We are very glad to see you safe and sound."

"Last night I was thinking I would be a lonely castaway; now I find I shall have plenty of company." "We have brought along some provisions," put in Tom.
It had been easy perhaps pleasant to suffer for the confidential friend who had opened his heart to her on the hillside.
