roused at last 1 I tun aci quite sure we will find it lets see you sat here with edith and graham and mr dir make blake just below it might have caught in the fringe ot of the shawl perhaps mr blako will wh kindly shake it mr fr blake complied compiled without result useless also alao was the ensuing search ol of the rocks although they were gone over inch by inch the men lighting watches to exan itne lark crevices while we scrutinize the mot most improbable places wid wed tried to peer into the rapidly rising water at last we gave it up tip and prepared to go home each in n turn assuring eltz abeth that rooming orning ru came a afo would surely burely find lr her ring but newn secre secretly c convinced that it vrna na irrevocably gono gone ive had a good time barring the last half nit hour said fordan bennett as ho he took my shawl have you V 1 I dont what elizabeth will ever do her ring was my evasive reply give her another the jewel your s ship hill Is bringing you are arc far more moro valuable nonsense I 1 interrupted cant you seo see that she la Is unhappy and wo we are all worried TI aae dont worry he said tomorrow morning bright and early caily ill have another look at the he rocks im rather a good prophet kroph et and something djs mo me she will ket get it again it if I 1 cant find it ill got a diver rind and see what he be can do kut but I 1 dont think we will need him for when daylight comes it will probably bo be discovered exactly where ft here she dropped it any 1 way there la Is no use giving up a thing as lost until every possible means ot of finding it to is exhausted you wont worry will you sou practical suggestions wore vere very ery V cheering and I 1 thrilled to repeat them to Elt elizabeth zabeth she was saying baying goodnight good on night to the campbells who hail had decided to return retarn to the hotel along the shore to my surp ilse I 1 heard lady edith also also suggesting the tees of a diver they are quite wonderful you know she was saying saving and nil all sorts aorta of things have boon recovered from the oman ocean yes added lord wilfrid we will all have another took look tomorrow to morrow and if it Is n not 0 t to be found by daylight I 1 know or of an expert diver however i im sure pure when the tide goes out it will be left among tho the rocks so by degrees bur our guests departed and nd we returned to the

as aa we described our search among the rocks and our theory that the ring had bad dropped into the sea lost is it she abe said at al last dont you fret miss elizabeth dear I 1 know them rocks lochs inch by inch and ill avo a look mosela so I 1 will wll jest go to sleep and rest easy now wo we were glad to fallow this sensible advice but I 1 think wo we all ail wore some time in n getting to sleep I 1 found ray myself thinking of ma Gr graham rather than tho the lost ring and wondering vaguely why she did not like to tb hear her husband sing tho the puzzle was too much for me ine and I 1
