Excerpt: ...once. Was he now to become her victim? The young man's jaw set. There was no holding back now, however; he had to go on-and he did, with seeming indifference and bold enough step. At the top of the ladder the sailor passed him on to some one else-an officer-who led him this way and that until they reached a secluded part of the deck, where, near the rail, stood a tall dark figure, glass in hand.

Would the prince's gaze flare back with a spark of remembrance? If in that tense instant it had done so, then- But his excellency regarded Mr. Heatherbloom blankly; his eyes were emotionless. "You mean the fellow we ran down?" The prince spoke as if irritated by the intrusion. "The same, Excellency!" The officer stepped back. Mr. Heatherbloom did not move.
