I laughed and seized her hands. "Miss Pat, I could not feel pity for any one so skilled with the sword as she! It would be gratuitous!

"We'd better pick her up," he said; and he was already dropping one of the canoes Into the water. We paddled swiftly toward the sloop. The lake was still fretful from the storm's lashing, but the sky was without fleck of flaw. The earliest of the little steamers was crossing from the village, her whistle echoing and reechoing round the lake. "The sloop's about done for," said Gillespie over his shoulder; and we drove our blades deeper. The Stiletto was floating stem-oand roiling but retaining still, I thought, something of the sinister air that she had worn on her strange business through those summer days. "She went to bed all right; see, her sails are furled snug and everything's n shape. The storm drove her over here," said Gillespie.
