"I don't want to go alone." "The nurses of the unit to which you " The crash of a shell drowned his voice. Then came a deathly silence, then the sound of the deck-guns in action once more. Miss Erith was leaning rather heavily on his arm. He bent it, drawing her closer. "I don't want to leave you," she said again. "I told you "
"All right!" shouted one of the men from his cover, "we've plently of time to deal with you Yankee swine! Stay there and rot!" "That was Skelton's voice," whispered Miss Erith with an involuntary shudder. "They'll never attempt that hog-back under our pistols now," said McKay coolly. "Come, Yellow-hair; we're going forward." "How?" she asked, bewildered.
McKay's upward-turned face was a grim study. Beyond those limestone shouldering heights his terrible Calvary had begun a progress that had ended in the wreckage of mind and soul had it not been for Chance and Evelyn Erith.
She was waiting on the landing and she took him directly into the library where a wood fire was burning. "Just a moment," she said, "to make myself as as persuasive as I can." "You are perfectly equipped, Miss Erith " "Oh, no, I must do better than I have done. This is the great moment of our careers, Mr. McKay." Her smile, brightly forced, left his grim features unresponsive.
And if one would rather have moorings than an anchorage, so that one might slip away without trouble when the tide and wind were favorable? Oh yes, there was nothing simpler than that. There were many yachts about Erith; and surely the pier-master could get the Umpire the loan of moorings.
Kay McKay and Evelyn Erith had been gone for nearly an hour; but Recklow still sat there at the little green table, an unlighted cigarette in his muscular fingers, his head slightly bent as though listening. Once he rose as though on some impulse, went into the house, took a roll of fine wire, a small cowbell, a heavy pair of wire clippers and a pocket torch from his desk and pocketed them.
The commitee continued to keep up, during the same period, a communication with many of their old correspondents, whose names have been already mentioned. But they received also letters from others, who had not hitherto addressed them; namely, from Ellington Wright of Erith, Dr.
Then silver leaped to meet silver as the "Doctor" touched water; one keen scream of the reel cut the sunny silence; the rod bent like a bow, staggered in his hand, swept to the surface in a deeper bow, quivered under the tremendous rush of the great fish. Miss Erith watched the battle from an angle not that of an angler.
Having got together as much money as he might suppose would supply his daily needs, he built himself a villa near the pleasant little town of Erith. His house overlooked the water; in front of it sloped a considerable piece of garden ground. Mr. Sloper showed good sense and good taste in building himself a little home on the banks of the Thames.
And crept toward him on her knees, nearer, nearer, until her slim outstretched hand rested on his silver crest. "Good God!" said McKay in the low tones of reverence. McKay had drawn a duplicate of his route-map on thin glazed paper. Evelyn Erith had finished a duplicate copy of his notes and reports.
