llaight's boat's got the heels or her."
"Here's your teu pounds," said Car
rington. "Where's Haight?"
"Here I be, master."
"A hundred pounds to you," said
Carrlngton, "If you put me aboard that
ship, and another hundred if you put
me there before Strathgate."
"And If I don't do neither?" re
turned Haight, quickly.
Nothing," said Carrlngton. "ft'
win or lose."
"I take you, yer honor," cried
Haight. whose sporting blood was
aroused, and the remark was greeted
by three cheers from the. wharf.
"If It's in the power of a Ports
mouth boat to do it, Haight's the man
for you, master," said one old vet
eran. "Stay." continued Haight, "I'd like
to know who I'm dealin' with."
"I'm Lord Carrlngton. first lieutea
ant of the Xiobe yonder."
He pointed to one of the frigates
swinging ahead In the line of battle
ships of Kephard's fleet.
"Itight-o, your lordship," said Haight.
making a sea scrape at the mention of
rank, social, political and naval, of his
speaker. "Lads, who goes with us?"
He picked up three or four volun
teers, to whom Carrlngton promised a
suitable reward.
"My boat's twice as big as Cooper's
cotter, and I need the hands, your
lordship."
"Take anybody, anything you
please." said Carrlngton. "Where's the
boat?"
"She be lyin' beyond the other pier.
Shall I bring her here, or ?"
"We'll go there," returned my lord.
"'Tis quicker."
Committing his horse to one of the
bystanders, with instructions to take
him to the inn, Carrlngton, followed
by Haight and three seamen, ran back
to the shore, made their way along
the strand to the other pier, leaped
Into the boat, which was a large,
swift cutter, as Haight had said, at
least half again as big as Cooper's,
which was now well down the harbor
and going tremendously under every
freshening breeze.
To cast off the lines, hoist the sails,
warp the boat along the pier until she
gained the open roads, was the work
of a few moments. Carrlngton stood
quietly while the skillful men worked
busily around him, but so soon as the
wind filled the sail and the boat gath
ered way he came aft, calmly displaced
Haight at the helm and sailed the
boat himself. And no one In that
harbor knew how to do it better
-than, he.

CHAPTER XII.
Lady Carrington's Luck.
About two o'clock in the morning,
as Ellen had expected, the breeze
sprang up. It blew fitfully in cat's
paws and light baffling airs at first.
Ellen made the most of every possi
bility presented, however. She was
desperately anxious to get to Ports
mouth and she handled her boat with
all her accustomed skill, rejoicing in
her possession of it.
She did not awaken Debbie. She j
let the boat drift while she herself
hoisted the single sail it bore. After ;
an hour of vexatious backing and
filling, she thought the breeze was
growing stronger and by four o'clock
to her great joy the wind had settled
and was blowing steady from the
southeast, straight up the channel,
that is.
There are two entrances to Ports
mouth harbor; one between the Isle
of Wight and the mainland, the So- j
lent, and the other around the south-
era extremity of the same island.
Ellen had drifted seaward during the
night and she decided that her best
course was to round the island and
run up to the harbor with a beam
wind. The breeze was growing strong- j
er every moment. Indeed, the little '
boat keeled over so far that some- j
times the lee gunwales were peril
ously near the water line. i
Presently, Ellen woke up Debbie in ;
order to trim the ship, bidding her i
crawl up to windward. Refore Deb
bie took her position, they made such j
morrjng meal as they could on tepid
Water Ml) th romilnc rf tha hari) !
bread, and then settled down for their
run into the harbor. The little boat
was jumping and pitching fearfully,
but Debbie was almost as good a
sailor as Ellen, and she suffered no in
convenience from the wild motion.
As for Ellen, her heart exulted. She
had something to do besides think.
The sailing of the boat required all J
her skill and ability. It was no light J
task to hold the helm in one hand and j
tne sheet In the other and right her j
way through the rising seas. The boat
rode the water like a duck, however, j
and did not ship a drop of spray. J
They were well past Cambridge j
when the day broke fair and clear.
Ellen had been so occupied with the
business of sailing the boat that she j
had not paid any attention to what
was astern of her. It was Debbie
who about a half hour after sunrise

oeep and intense Interest. Something
Roomsd to whlsDer to her heart that
its presence boded no good for the fu
gitives. "Ti Probably Strathgate as You Say."
In order to settle the matter, Elio.n
suddenly put up the helm and ran
broad off toward the channel. The
other boat followed her motions at
once. At this confirmation of her sus
picions, Ellen once more brought her
own cutter on her previous course,
and again the other boat followed the
movements of the first.
"They're pursuing us." said Ellen.
"I thought so," returned Debbie.
"Who can they be?" queried Ellen
tightening her grip upon the tiller.
"It might be your husband." an
swered Debbie.
And if that were so, it flashed into
Ellen's mind that perhaps the best
thing would be to throw her own boat
up into the wind, doff sail, or at least
just give her steerage way and wait
to be taken back. Hut Debbie's voice
dispelled that dream.
"It's more likely to be Lord Strath
gate," continued the American girl,
"than anyone else. He would natur
ally follow us to that little village, if
he were not so seriously wounded as
to be utterly helpless and of course
he would pursue us. They would find
the money you put on the wharf and
anybody could guess the rest."
The thought smote Ellen's heart.
There was so much probability of it.
"Ay," she said, "tis probably Strath
gate as you say."
'"He's undoubtedly intensely angry
with us both, or with you at least,
Ellen," continued Deborah. "You know
you tried to kill him last night."
"I wish to heaven I had succeeded!"
returned Lady Carrlngton.
"And we both left him helpless in
the road and he can't be feeling very
kindly toward us," went on Deborah
with innocent simplicity.
"He pretended to love me," said
Ellen, scornfully. "Well, he shall never
take me into that boat. I'll sink this
one rather than "
"Oh. please don't do anything so
rash," cried Deborah, alarmed at that
threat. "I'm sure I don't want to be
sunk and drowned because Lord
Strathgate loves you and Lord Car
rlngton doesn't."
"How do you know he doesn't?"
cried Ellen.
"Why, you said that he and Lady
Cecily "
"Don't you ever dare mention that
woman's name to me," returned the
other, fiercely. "She beguiled him
and enticed him I hate them both!"
She was on the verge of another
breakdown. Deborah was appalled by
the vehemence of her companion and
tactfully interposed a remark to
change the trend of her thoughts.
"I think they're nearer to us now."
"They are," cried Ellen as she sur-vej-ed
them with her practiced eye.
"Their boat is larger, she spreads
more sail. She goes three fathoms to
our two. What shall we do? Here
take the tiller a moment. Hold it
just as it is and the sheet in the other
hand."
"What are you going to do?" asked
Deborah as she obeyed her captain's
commands.
"I'm going to see If there are any
powder and shot In the lockers forward.
I was a fool to come away with only
the charges in my pistols."
"Would you shoot him?"
"Ay, that I would." returned Ellen,
"rather than fall into his hands."
She stepped forward and rummaged
in the locker under the bows but found
nothing. She made her way aft again
and disturbing Deborah opened anoth
er locker in the stern sheets. There
to her good fortune she found a flask
of powder but no bullets. She was
bitterly disappointed at this lack, but
at least something was gained. She
knelt down on the thwarts and with

"You would not murder?"
"Peace, child. I have no bullets.
These are but blank cartridges. Per
haps I can frighten them."
"Frighten Lord Strathgate!" laughed
Deborah. "Don't try. It will only
make him more angry, and "
Hut Ellen stood up In the boat,
balancing herself lightly in spite of
the pitching, pointed her pistol at
the other boat now not more than
half a mile away, and pulled the trig
ger. There was a tremendous report
for Ellen had put in an extra largo
charge In default of a bullet.

Ellen let him have the other pistol
Of course, there was sound and noth
Ing more. Hut the concussion, the
noise and the smoke relieved her feel
Ings. Deborah cowered down in the
boat, released the tiller, let go the
sheet and stopped her ears with her
fingers. Ellen dropped her pistols
and by the quickest kind of work
seized the tiller and sheet and got the
boat under control before she broached
to. It was a narrow escape, however,
and convinced Lady Carrington that
she could not indulge in any more
sham battling. She watched the other
boat carefully as her own gathered
way once more but could detect no
evidence that her firing had in the
least intimidated those who were
coming so recklessly after her.
Promising Deborah that she would
not fire them again, she got the youn
woman to take the helm once more
while she reloaded her pistols. She
would have given anything for a
couple of good honest leaden bullets,
If she had even had a jeweled ring,
she would have pounded it into shape
and rammed it down the barrel, but
she had divested herself of all her
jewels except her wedding ring and
she could not make up her mind to
blow that away in the present emer
gency. Still the pistols were heavily
charged and at close quarters there
would be an unpleasant dose of pow
der for anyone who tried to molest
her.
'l lie oIh:r boat was coming up hand
over hend now. In half an hour she
would be alongside. Ellen swept the
harbor ahead of her and was sur
prised to see she had not noticed it
in the interest excited by the chase
coming down under full sail a large
ship, an American merchantman evi
dently. She jumped to the conclusion
that it must be the New Eagle. If
she could intercept that ship and get
aboard of her, her troubles would be
over. Provided the ship were willing
to heave to or to check her way, the
boarding of her would be an easy mat
ter, and Ellen was sailing on such
a course that the interception of Y.c:
would not be difficult, if it were not
for this boat close astern cf her. Far
ther ahead Ellen also marked follow
ing hard on the great ship two boats
like her own and the one pursuing.
They were, like the merchantman,
beating down the harbor and it seemed
to Ellen's eyes that they were also
chasing after the merchant ship.
She was more and more convinced
as she studied It, that it could be none
other than the New Eagle. With sal
vation staring her In the face, Ellen
feared that she would be unable to
escape her nearest pursuer. She looked
back and could have screamed aloud.
"Ellen," said Deborah, who had
given no thought to what was before
her but who had been staring at the
other boat, "I don't believe that's the
earl of Strathgate."
"Who is it then?" asked Ellen who
was thinking hard and desperately as
to what were best to be done.
"It's I'm sure it's "
"Who. Lord Carrington?"
"Nay," answered Deborah with a
little simper. "Sir Charles Seton."
"Impossible." cried Ellen brusquely.
"How would he be there?"
"'Tis he, I'm sure. I recognize him."
"You have keen eyes," said Ellen
looking back. "I always supposed
that mine were good."
"You might recognize him if it were
Lord Carrlngton," said Deborah patly.
"Do you mean to imply that I that
, you " Ellen gave it up as hopeless.
"I don't care who it is. Look ahead.
Turn your eyes from that young red
coat. See yon ship! That will be the
New Eagle. See how white her can
vas! And, yes" as the ship swung
around on another tack and gave them
a view of her broadside "there's the
American flag. That means safety for
us freedom, if we can shake off this
pestilent pursuer in our wake."
"But I don't want to shake him ofT!"
cried Debbie.
"You must. Would you fall into his
arms? 'Tis most unmaidenly," an
swered Ellen.
"I don't care," cried Debbie, begin
ning to whimper.
"I guess you can stop crying," an
swered Ellen, contemptuously, "for we
have no more chance of escaping from
that boat than we have of getting
aboard yonder ship.".
Ellen's face gloomed as she spoke.
To be foiled after all she had gone
through by Sir Charles Seton. whose
pursuit of her, after all, was simply
for this mawkish, whimpering Debo
rah, whom for the first time in her
life she hated, was more than she
could bear. She came to a sudden res
olution. "I'll run the boat ashore and es
cape through the woods rather than be
caught by them."
She swung the tiller over, hauled
aft the sheet and in a moment the
boat was running toward the island.
In those days a long shoal, of which
Ellen knew nothing. Jutted out into
the roads. She did not throw her boat
deliberately on the shore, but ran
along it looking for some suitable
; !nr- to !:.rd,
cr r.-p--
the smafier, got tne worst o'i'ii and
felt the wind lest. Seton's boat was
rapidly overhauling the other. In five
minutes It would be alongside. Ellen
j cwung the helm over and desperately
j headed straight for the shore,
j "Stop! Btop, Lady Carrington!" cried
Seton, who was now In plain view. "I
mean you no harm. Mistress Debo
rah, can't you ?"
"I can't do anything," cried Debo
rah, traitorously. "She won't let
me."
"If you run down my boat," an
swered Ellen, handling her pistols, "I
swear I'll use these weapons."
"There are no bullets In them,"
cried Deborah. "Don't be afraid."
Ellen turned on her like a young
tigress. She could have struck her
with her pistol. Sir Charles only
laughed. He was in high glee.
I wouldn t care u there were a
thousand bullets In them. I intend to
have you out of that boat, Mistress
Debbfe, and "
There was a sudden scream from
Mistress Debbie. The boat in which
she sailed met with a sudden check.
The little cutter grated upon the edge
of the shoal. Ellen sprang to the
helm, forgetful of everything else but
the present peril. Her boat go
ing at a rapid rate had taken ground.
She hoped that the touch had been so
light that the boat would not be
stopped and wrecked. Indeed, she
flung herself violently to starboard
and the sudden shock swung the boat
off the shoal. There was a scraping
of sand beneath the keel and the
little shallop slid on.
Sir Charles was close aboard. Not
being a sailor, he had not noticed, and
in the excitement of the chase. Sir
Charles offering reward upon reward
to the fishermen If they overhauled
the other boat, these men forgot the
peril, if, indeed, they knew it. For
coming down at full speed and draw
ing half again as much water as
Ellen's cutter, they ran hard and fast
upon the shoal.
Ellen had counted upon their doing
this very thing. She looked back with
eyes of experience, and saw exactly
their position. Irr" 3d, they had bare
ly escaped ripping a mast out of the
lugger. They were rocking their boat
furiously and making every effort to
get off, but they had gone on. fair and
square, the tide was on ebb, and
Ellen concluded they were fixed for
some time.
She rose in the stern sheets and
laughed gleefully. She put her boat
about and ran down to pass in easy
hail of Sir Charles and his men.
"Good-by," she called, laughing
with mockery that stung him, "before
an hour we shall be aboard yon ship.
I am sorry that you were baiked. A stern
chase is a long chase, Sir Charles, as
you will find upon the sea."
Poor Sir Charles had little to say for
himself. He felt very much cha
grined and bitterly disappointed.
"Gooy-by, Sir Charles," called Debo
rah, sadly. " 'Tis not my doing,
and"
"Mistress Deborah," answered Sir
Charles, plucking up heart, "you have
not seen the end of me. I shall find
some means of following you wherever
you go."
"""There, Debbie," said Ellen, "heart
up. iou did your best to betray me,
but I forgive you since we've got free.
I told you Sir Charles would follow
you and he'll find you all the sweet
er for his mad chase. Now for yon
ship."
And Ellen laid a course which would
in half an hour intercept the oncoming
merchantman.
CHAPTER XIII.
An Impromptu Affair on the High Seas.
It was hardly possible at first, even
for so practiced and acute an eye as
Carrington's, to determine whether he
or Strathgate had the better boat. In
the first place, the two cutters were
continually on opposite courses, split
ting tacks, the wind blowing straight
into the harbor, and it was not until
they had passed and repassed each
other several times that Carrington
became convinced that he was gain
ing on his antagonist. The gain, how
ever, was a slight one. The differ
ence in the rate of sailing between
the two boats was not very great.
Both of them sailed faster than the
Flying Star in the air then prevail
ing. When the big ship got out into
the channel she would probably run
away from the two fishing boats with
out difficulty. The wind being as it
was necessitated a hard beat out, and
again this gave the smaller vessels an
advantage, for. they could hold on
where the great ship was compelled
to tack for fear of shoal water. And
with every tack they gained distance.
Carrlngton studied the sea intently
and concluded that if the wind did not
shift and it did not come to blow hard
er than it was, there was every pros
pect that both boats would overhaul
the ship. Whether he could beat
Strathgate at that game, however, in
the time at his disposal was a ques
tion. At any rate there was nothing
to do but hold on. Master Haight had
viewed Carrington's usurpation of the
helm with some misgiving at first,
but his distrust soon gave place to
admiration, for never was a small
boat better handled than by the young
naval officer. If Carrington had been
sailing the cutter in a race for a stake
of 10,000, he could not have watched
her more carefully or handled her
more skillfully. He made everything
tell.
That worthy fisherman, Cooper, who
was sailing Strathgate's boat, albeit
he did very well, was a mere tyro com
pared to Carrlngton. Indeed. Carring
ton felt as if he were sailing his boat
for lor. honor, happiness, revenee. nil
