They became larger still, and in the failing light Hillyard was just able to distinguish that they wore the grey uniform of the Guardia Civil. "Let us pray," said Medina with a note of anxiety in his voice, "that they do not become curious about our fishing-boat out there!" As he spoke the two horsemen halted, and did look out to sea. They conversed each with the other.
