For it’s what I am.” Night was very short, and dawn was soon shivering snow peaks, seis, leaving meal, and set hill above the An hour before noon they stood on it, looking down at the rocky beach where the party had landed from the lifeboat, There a sign of them to be seen. Bridget and Salt climbed the beach. Against the hundred yards south, the ashes ’of a big numbers -of empty mussel shells. “They rested here,” said Salt, “Either they were taken off in a boat, which is very unlikely, or they will have gone» south along the beach/’ „ They pushed on along the shore, and were driven to the hills again, as the tide rose, hearts were ness of the put, sick of misery. Then, as among the trees on the cliff’s edge, they found themselves looking down on a little stony bay; and there was the smjpke of three campfires ris­ ing into the twilight, and figures moving about below, “Look!” Bridget cried. “There they are.” “Yes,” Salt’s voice shook with re­ lief. “And what’s more they’ve found something! Why—there’s a horse, they’ve got a horse!” “Yes, and there’s a hut with an iron roof! Civilization!” They halooed, waved and shout­ ed, and began scrambling wildly down the face of the cliff. The fig­ ures on the beach stopped and gaz­ ed in astonishment.

It’s Bridget! It’s Bridget!” * A strange-looking figure ran . be­ fore the group which moved eagerly to meet them, as they landed at the foot of the cliff in a shower of stones and dust. Her clothes 'dishevelled,' her face bare of paint, dark hair showing a line of gray at the roots where it had grown beyond the dye, Mrs.; Garforth had become an old woman in a .month. „ As they limped down towards the camp in a fire of questions from all sides, Bridget, her memories o'f the time in the lifeboat already dim, Was struck by the ghastliness of the whole company. Joyce too—clinging to Salt’s arm, assuring him she thought he was dead—Joyce without hei’ make-up and her lovely clothes, was a blousy wreck; only Diana, finer featured and more cleanly’ built, still showed some of her‘charm. “We were afraid you were drown­ ed,” said Mr. Mills. “We couldn’t follow* down the inlet, we were in too bad a way! We pushed along the beach and camped in whatever shelter we could find, we met a gold miner­ hut, he’s an Austrian. English and German. He brought us with great difficulty—poor Grimson had to be carried, ill, very ill, I’m afraid!

One could miss anyone in those woods!” The appearance df Salt and Brid­ get caused a wave of excitement and elation in the camp; everyone gathered round while they sat by the fire, and unbound the rags from theii’ feet. Mrs. Mills • brought them some cold roasted mutton, and a piece of dough cake in a tin dish from the prospector’s hut. “Oh look!” ®ried Bridget. “It’s a plate!” “I shall have to go back and try to pick up Kingslake and Higgs,” said Salt. “Ye can’t do any more tramping on them feet, mate!” said one of the men, Salt’s feet were bruised and bleeding. But he said that if someone would lend him a*5 pair of good boots he would be able to walk. Mr. Mills said he would go instead. “Mary reminded away!” “Yes!” grave. you’re right!” a It was then that Bridget realized* that they * believed Grimson was dying, Night was falling, so it was agreed that at dawn Salt should go back to look for Colonel Kingslake and the quartermaster, since “he knew .the route; one of the men, less exhaust­ ed than the others, volunteered to go with him; Grimson lay in the miner’s hut, on the miner’s wooden bunk, cov­ ered with blankets. Mrs. Mills was looking after her, but it seemed that the injury tp her leg when she jump­ ed ashore from the boat, had become septic; in her weakness from ex­ posure and lack of food she had contracted a general blood-poison­ ing. Madam Dupre had also been, given a place in the hut, on a bed of^dried kelp. She was weak, and suffering from digestive.troubles; she- almost cried when Bridget went in. 1 “So you are alive and well, after all! One gets dulled, like an ani­ mal, but 4 grieved for you, I was in despair to think that at the last moment you should be-Host. . When the ship comes to take us away I am afraid it will be too late to help my poor Grimson! But at least you- ■ have come back, I have that happi­ ness!” Mary light of stupor, kets and showed Bridget the in- : juted leg which she had treated as best she could, by wrapping it in a torn shirt, wrung out every hour in hot water. Bridget lifted Grimson’s clawlike Hand. , “Miss Grimson!” she said, softly, bending near. “Miss Grimson!” A look of understanding came into the glazed eyes as they stared at Bridget’s face; they darkened suddenly, it seemed as though the faltering soul rushed up into the light in a kind of terror. “How are you, Miss Grimson?" Bridget squeezed her hand reassur­ ingly, worried by the queer uneasi­ ness of that dark stare....... Grimson’s lips parted, for a mo­ ment’ she looked as though she was speak........Then stupor again, a listless blank, went out into the night Mills, painfully dlsturb- GrimsonlVShe had always I horse, named sheep island, .■speak :s,peak here Mary She’s miner went off over the hills, jancl we understand he was going for help; so we gave him a slip of paper with -oui’ names on it, saying we were survivors of the ‘Melville’. “He came back this morning, with a carcass of mutton on his and a note from a man Craig. It seems there’s a run On the east coast of the where they have a short range ra­ dio set. They’ve radioed Magel- lanes, and a ship is being sent out from there to take us off. This man Craig said he would come down With medicines and supplies this afternoon.” Tears of excitement started into Mills’ eyes. His lips were badly, Cracked and swollen, and the bones stood out of his emaciated face. “So you see, people at home will know we’re alive! It will be radioed from Mag- eilahes—it’s a city how, you know, a big city. They’ll send out the news.” „ “In the meantime,” put in Con- we’re saved!

Salt was- already rolled up in a blanket by the fire, round which the men were gathered. The Garforths with Mrs. Kingslake, who, was com­ plaining about her husband’s ab­ sence,. were sitting by the fire out­ side the hut; when it rained at night they all crowded inside, oth­ erwise they lay on the ground by the' fire, Bridget had to recount all over, again what had happened after she and Salt had drifted away into tile inlet with the lifeboat. She ex­ plained how Salt had hit his head and she had dragged him ashore.

One. listening Isq eagerly she felt guilty, ■thinking of all there was that she could not tell........ “We slept in a cave," she said, “I made a line,” she* added hastily*, “And we caught fish. We ate those awful mushrooms off the trees,, too?’ “In a cave!" tittered^Joyce weak-; ly. “By themselves! Unconvention­ al, to say the least of it!" But from her’tone and the atti­ tude- of the others it was obvious that nothing was inferred from it; Bridget gathered she was deemed a harmless sort of person to have, been alone with their beloved Mark, “Aftei* we thought that he—that you were both dead there seemed to be no hope in anything!" said Jpyce. I cried and cried for hours, I just didn’t care if we were never res­ cued. Diana was just the same. She sat down on those awful rocks and wouldn't move. Mother and Mr. Mills had to drag her along to • the place where we- camped on the first night. I thought she had gone mad!" And so, Bridget thought, when she lay down a few minutes later, too tired to move, things' were back to normal again. He and she were separated, surrounded by oth­ ers who knew nothing of their re­ lationship, regarded them as. *two people of all ,thq world least likely to interest one another. In the morning when she awak­ ened from the heavy sleep of exhaus­ tion, the sun was looking over the mountains; Diana told her Salt and his companion had gone. Joyce c^me walking back into-camp a few -min­ utes later to say that she ’had gone with them for a short distance; and while the other wompn fetched wood for the firq, she experimented ' with a wet finger and the red la­ bel on a bully beef tin from the miner’s hut, trying to improvize a 1 substitute .for lipstick, I Iiope nothing happens to them,”.

He said the Shijx sent by thq Chile Government- authorities in Magellanes ought to arrive next morning. “I heard the ‘Melville’ was sunk,” he said. *“I picked it up from Maggyarnies on my set. One of.hef boats with twenty-tliree in it was picked up off Staten Island; but that was going on a fortnight ago; It wasn’t expected any more of you could have been saved.” Bridget assisted Mrs. Mills ,by sitting with the sick woxnan. Grixn- son's fingers plucked the 'blankets, her breath ,came at irregular inter­ vals, her eyes were half-closed. The half-caste came and looked at her and shook, his head. He said lie had nothing in his Ixlit in the hills that would be of any use to hen,. CHAPTER XXXIV ed by some exaggerated memory of the scolding Bridget had. had from Salt for giving away her ra­ tion. “But that was nothing,” she said, “Na one blamed f nw .really, you mustn’t worry about that!” Mr, Mills came hurriedly into the hut, followed by his wife. They came to Grimson’s side. “She’s wandering, I think,” Brid­ get told them in. a low voice,, Grimson lay still, as though ex- 'hausted, but her eyes were open, alight with, meaning. “I didn’t plan to put them there!”, she whispered, Bridget's hand tightened on hers convulsively. “Didn’t plan to put what where?,” she asked, ■ after nn incredulous pause. “I was afeared! The steward said they were going to search the cab­ ins. I saw the sleeve had come away in the lining of your coat, so when, you were talking to Madam,- I picked up the coat and slipped the pearls through the hole. I didn’t think as you’d be the one fo get into trouble. And if you hadn't got off I’d have come forward, so help me, I would!’’ ■Grimson’s voice was a hoarse whisper. Bridget bent her head, too shaken to speak, “There,” she managed to say, “That’s all right!” Mr. Mills’ voice asked curiously: “What is it? What is. she talk­ ing about? ” “There was . a fuss in Sydney, Mr. Mills, I was accused of havirig stol­ en a string of pearls, I had never seen them before, but there^ was some trouble," Bridget said hur­ riedly. “She’s trying to . tell (me' that it was she who took thefti, I Was never—I’m glad to know who it really was!” she ended incoherently. “Good gracious!” whispered Mrs. Mills. 1 ' “Weren’t you cleared, ' Miss’ Brown?” Mr, Mills asked -quickly. “Not properly. It dbeSn’t mat­ ter, don’t bother her now.”- With mixed feelings, Bridget' drew away and Mr. Mills bent ovex’ the bunk; his wife pulled up a box and .lxq, sat down. Gri^iSon was sinking into a coma again and Jxe took her hand and roused her. “Mary,” he said. “Mary Grim­ son, you want to tell Miss Brown something. Tell mq the story, don’t be afraid.
