Like a man seized with vertigo he staggered toward her, caught one of her hands In his, and opened his mouth to speak; but Captain Barnett at that moment appeared, a pair of binoculars In his hands. "As sure as you're born, Mr. Van Ness," he said, "It's a warship. That's good news." "Of course it Is," muttered Dick In d isgust.
