"Me hands are a bit unsteady," said Harry, quickly. "We'll l'ave the light be as ut is, Billy." Mr John Eagle made no answer. At that moment the man at the mast-head with the telescope still at his eye, shouted the magic words: "Sail ho!" "Mr Greyquill!" cried Miss Acton. "Why, he may have come with news of Lucy.
