"Fox-terriers of the sea; friends with every ship that comes along. Funny codgers, aren't they?" he said. "When you are stronger we'll go up to the cutwater and watch them from there." "I have . . . from many ships." A shadow, which was not cast by the jib, fell upon them both.
He was certain that the master of Fort o' God did not know of the tryst beyond the rock, and he was equally certain that the girl was unaware of Pierre's knowledge of the meeting. Pierre had remained hidden, like himself, and he had given Philip to understand that it was not the first time he had looked upon the meetings of Jeanne and the man they had seen from the shadow of the rock.

It's all so new, so strange ... I intended to come right back downstairs, but I'm so tired, Mark. And I want to be alone a little; to think. I haven't had time to think of anything!

At that moment it required all the force of his tremendous will power to stem the current of almost uncontrollable emotion, surging across his soul. But the moments passed, other topics were introduced and discussed, and Jack joined in the conversation as calmly as the others.
He began to regard his hostess as a figure haunted by a shadow which was somehow her intenser and more authentic self. This lurking duality in her put on for him an extraordinary charm.
There in the shadow of a eucalyptus tree stood Black Steve and his dastardly crew. They were about to storm the cabin. All was undoubtedly lost. Not until the following week would the world learn how Hortense and her manly fiance had escaped this trap. Again had Beulah Baxter striven and suffered to give the public something better and finer.
Shefford welcomed the arrival of Nas Ta Bega. The Indian listened to the loud talk of several loungers round the camp-fire; and thereafter he was like Shefford's shadow, silent, somber, watchful.
