BETTY HUTTON picked up room from the compartment where the engine was. She was afraid they would open the door and find her. Mr. McPhail must surely be here soon. She dared not show herself until he came; but she need not stand. She sat down cautiously on the lower bunk. The upper bunk was so near the lower that she could not sit upright without bumping her head, so she lay down. She was wide awake, listening to the voices, wondering what Mr. Jenkins and the other man were discussing so seriously. She was very tired. She had not slept at all last night, very little the night before; and her eyes burned and ached. When she closed them, they were more comfortable; so she kept them closed, listening to the rapid-fir- e conversation in the cabin, wishing she could understand what they were saying. It began not to matter . . . She was awakened by the opening of the cabin door, the sudden flood of light in her face. She rolled on her side, scrambling out of the bunk, scrambling to her feet, blinking and confused. The floor lifted and tilted under her. Silhouetted in the cabin door stood a man in a battered old hat. It was Angus McPhail's hat. The man was Angus McPhail. But the engine was running! They were going somewhere! The boat pitched under her feet, and she almost fell, staggered, caught at his coat to save herself. She cried: "Heavens to Betsy! What happened? Where are we?" He said in a harsh, grating tone: "Three hours out of Moose Bay toward Labrador." Three hours out of Moose Bay toward Labrador! The light was in Robin's eyes, blinding her. Angus McPhail was a dark silhouette in the doorway; and his dry tones were like the rustle of dead leaves in an icy wind. Three hours out of Moose Bay . . . She wrinkled her brows, peering into his shadowed countenance, trying to understand tis incredible thing he said. She protested, in a half whisper, "Three hours! But didn't you know I was here?" The boat was pitching and tossing. She clung to his coat to keep from falling down, till he freed himself, drew back. Then she stumbled into the cabin, sat down on one of the benches by the narrow table. Angus moved aside to let her pass; be stood above her, his legs spread, his head a little bowed; and when he did not speak she said, still vague i m ' 0 fL.
