"He can't came," interrupted the
mate, hastily.
"Did he send you to tell me?" she
asked.
Frasegar shook his head inournfully.
"He can't come," he said, in a low
voice; "he had a bad foot—night be-
fore last he was standing on the ship's
side—when he lost his hold—"
He broke off and eyed the girl ner-
vously, "and fell overboard," he con-
cluded.
Poppy Tyrell gave a faint cry, and
springing to her feet, stood with her
hand on the back of her chair regard-
ing him. "Poor fellow," ,zhe said,
softly; "poor fellow."
She sat down again by the open
window and nervously plucked at the
leaves of a geranium. Her face was
white and her dark eyes pitiful and
tender. Fraser, watching her, cursed
his resourceful skipper and hated him-
self .
"It's a terrible thing for his
friends," said Poppy, at length.
"And for you," said Fraser, respect-
fully.
"I am very grieved," said Poppy
quietly; "very shocked and very griev-
ed."
"I have got strong hopes that he
may have got picked up," said Fraser,
cheerfully; "very strong hopes. I

ed up by some vessel outward bound.
Stranger things have happened."
The girl shook her head. "You
didn't go overboard after him?" she
asked quietly.
"I did not," said the mate, who was
somewhat tired of this tactless ques-
tion; "I had to stand by the ship,
and besides, he was a much better
swimmer than I am—I did the best I
could."
Miss Tyrell bowed her head in an-
swer. "Yes," she said, softly.
"If there's anything I can do," said
Fraser, awkwardly, "or be of use to
you in any way, I hope you'll let me
know—Flower told me you were all
alone, and—"
He broke off suddenly as he saw the
girl's lips quiver. "I was very fond
of my father," she said, in extenua-
tion of this weakness.
"I suppose you've got some rela-
tives?" said Fraser.
The girl shook her head.
"No cousins?" said Fraser, staring.
