And now for a short time the conversation wholly referred to the business part of the compact.

Harry sat up straight, his little eyes flashing in fright..

"Got enough?" asked Billy pleasantly. "If the Minorca won't heave-to after catching sight of us in the boat," said Captain Acton, "we must return to the Aurora and follow her. Then, as I have said, we must head under a full press for Rio." "I guess I didn't think about it," said the boy. "There's a boat out yonder, an' she's havin' trouble. I was watchin' her." Wilson came over and laid a work-hardened hand gently on her heaving shoulder..
