Shielded by the night, those hidden boats were creeping up to us foot by foot. Whatever had been done at the lesser gate had been done as a ruse, I did not doubt. Czerny's goal was the greater door we held so desperately, his desire the full possession, the mastery of the house wherein lay life and treasure and lasting security. I counted twenty, no man speaking, and then I raised my voice.
Now, I have told you that both the greater and the lesser gates of Czerny's house were hewn in the pinnacles of rock rising up above the highest tides, and offering there a foothold and an anchorage; but you must not think that these were the only caps of the reef which thrust themselves out to the sea.
What sounds of pain, what resounding screams, rent the air in those fearful minutes! I draw the veil upon it. For all the gold that the sea washes to-day in Czerny's house, I could not look upon such a picture again. For death can be a gentle thing; but there is a death no man may speak of. At twelve o'clock the clouds broke and the rain began to fall upon a rising sea.
It is not easy to write even on such a simple topic as 'How to Retain a Husband's Love' if your attention is being distracted by a conscientious rendering of Czerny's 101 Exercises in an adjoining room. It is the little rift within the lute That by and by will make the music mute!

May 5TH. My message to the sea has been heard. Jasper Begg is on Ken's Island.
