Now every chance was gone. What reason was there to suppose that these two derelicts ever again would drift together? In the afternoon I rose languidly and looked about me. I saw something on the horizon, and seizing the glass, I knew it to be La Fidélité. I could recognize the slant of the hull, of the masts. Now hope blazed up again. If she were nearer, she must come nearer still.
I answered that I thought both the ships were safe enough, and should be delighted to talk with Miss Nugent, but in my heart I could not believe that a vessel with her bow as low as that of the Fidélité could be safe in bad weather, to say nothing of the possibility of, at any time, the water bursting into other compartments of the ship. The Sparhawk I believed to be in much better condition.
Again I spent the night on deck, but I did not wake to listen or watch. I was worn out and slept heavily. The day was bright when I was awakened by a chilly feeling: a strong breeze was blowing over me. I sprang to my feet. There was quite a heavy sea; the vessel was rolling and pitching beneath me, and not far away, not more than a mile, La Fidélité was coming straight toward me.
