I saw them yesterday from Craggeen. Perhaps they've moved round to the other side of the island." "There's a boat coming out from behind the point now," said Frank. "Perhaps they're moving again." Priscilla leaned over the gunwale and stared long at the boat which Frank pointed out. "There's a man and a woman in her," he said. "It's not Flanagan's old boat though," said Priscilla.
Jimmy can row through Craggeen passage and pick you up afterwards." Miss Rutherford tumbled from her own boat into the Tortoise. "Thanks awfully," she said. "I want to see you arrest those spies more than anything." "They're not spies," said Priscilla. "We never really thought they were," said Frank. "The truth is " said Priscilla. She stopped abruptly and looked round.
Priscilla, whose self-confidence was unshaken by her disaster in Craggeen passage, took this short cut in spite of a half-hearted protest from Frank. "I don't exactly know the way," she said, "but now that we've lost the rudder there's nothing very much can happen to us. We can keep the centreboard up as we're running, and if we do go on a rock, the tide will lift us off again. It's rising now.
Jimmy Kinsella was some distance astern heading for Craggeen. He appeared to be quite out of earshot. Nevertheless Priscilla lowered her voice to a whisper. "We're on an errand of mercy," she said. "Oh," said Miss Rutherford, "not vengeance. I'm disappointed." "Mercy is a much nicer thing," said Priscilla, "besides being more Christian." "All the same," said Miss Rutherford, "I'm disappointed.
"You'll excuse me saying so, Miss, but you'd no right to be trying to get through Craggeen at this time of the tide. It couldn't be done." "It could," said Priscilla, "and, what's more, it would, only for that old rudder."
"They're trying the passage through Craggeen," said Priscilla, with her eyes on Flanagan's old boat "That shows they're pretty desperate. Hand me the peppermint creams. There's jolly little water there at this time of the tide. It'll be sheer luck if they get through." "Take five or six peppermints," said Miss Rutherford, "if you feel that they'll steady your nerves.
