But I have a clew the one you gave me. If it is the right one, we shall learn very soon." On the stairs came the sound of Jenks's returning feet, followed a moment later by the rumor of Miss Wardrop's own approach. "Good evening," she greeted Smith. "I've come to ask you a favor," he answered.
The council of war clanked off to see if Mr. Wardrop's words were true. He warned them that it was as much as a man's life was worth to enter the engine-room, and they contented themselves with a distant inspection through the thinning steam.

Then they disappeared over the bulwarks of the Haliotis, and the Governor prayed that they might find occupation inside. Mr. Wardrop's first bound took him to the engine-room; and when the others were patting the well-remembered decks, they heard him giving God thanks that things were as he had left them.
