What about your British Empire then?" Mr. Foley regarded his visitor with quiet dignity. "I have understood that you were an Englishman, Mr. Maraton," he said. "Am I to look upon you as a traitor?" "Not to the cause which is my one religion," Maraton retorted swiftly. "Empires may come and go, but the people remain.
I was besieged by young noblemen like Lord Derby and Lord Foley, until I was heartily sick of notoriety, and cursed the indiscretion of the person who let out the news, and my own likewise. My Lord March, who did me the honour to lay one hundred pounds upon my skill, insisted that I should make one of a party to the famous amphitheatre near Lambeth. Mr.
Foley had a number of presents ready for use and, whenever he received a telephone message from his man, he hastened to the City Hall with a ring or a watch or a piece of silver and handed it to the bride with his congratulations. As a consequence, when Divver got the news and went to the home of the couple with his present, he always found that Foley had been ahead of him.
The fleet anchored again on the evening of the 26th of March, six miles from Cronenburg, and was there detained three days by head winds and calms. In this interval, Nelson's general plan of operations having been adopted, he shifted his flag to a lighter ship, the "Elephant," seventy-four, commanded by Captain Foley, the same who had led the fleet inside the French line in Aboukir Bay.
Gerald could stay but a very short time, as he had been ordered to return on board with Lieutenant Foley. Norah and Captain Tracy accompanied him into Waterford. They found the lieutenant ready to start, and Norah remained with Ellen, who had just taken farewell of her intended husband.

"Why, Tracy, it was supposed you were killed!" exclaimed Mr Tarwig. "Has Mr Foley escaped as well as you?"
"Need I remind you that if we had not possessed in the past men who gave their lives for the sake of posterity, the nations of the world would be even in a more backward condition than they are to-day?" Mr. Foley smiled. "Mr. Maraton," he said, "now I am going to ask you this question. To-morrow you go to Manchester to pronounce your doctrines.
It is my belief that the sufferings and the loss which would ensue would not fall upon the class who are already dwelling in misery." Mr. Foley moved nervously to the mantelpiece and helped himself to a cigarette. "Mr. Maraton," he said, "we will not argue on these lines. I like to feel my feet upon the earth. I like to deal with the things one knows about.
"Then, sir, I suspect old Crowhurst will be bitterly disappointed when he finds that he isn't to step into your shoes," said Gerald; "he'll complain that he has lost another chance of getting promoted." "I hope that he may obtain his promotion some other way," answered Mr Foley, laughing.
"Lie flat, little one," whispered Sandy, "an' don't move till I tells yer." The child obeyed, but already Foley and his partner had espied her, and it was evident they were using all their efforts to catch up. Leander now called: "It's the same gang, Sandy, that came out of the creek. What shall we do?" "Paddle fer all ye're worth," was shouted back.
