At that hour, most of the passengers were either dancing on the promenade deck .or Were' in the lounge or smoke -room, so that the two stewards carrying the sick girl .on a stretcher attracted very little attention. Probably, few pas: sengers even realised that the shall• building at the after end of the boat deck was the ship's hospital. • "I don't think that it is ,going to be a serious case, Miss Jordan;' dorm, Stanhope said, when he and Christine had put the moaning girt to bed, and Grant had been despatched to the pantry for ice.

"That's ,the great idea—the smoke - room, waiter heard Royde .fixing it with Mrs, Smythe to bring Mrs, Col- lins along for a drink when they'd finished bridge, and Mrs. Smythe laughed and said she supposed it was to be a quick one. '1 guessed the'kest when I took some cocktails along to the cabin cle ltixe and saw the Lind girl there." Christine knew that she'd got to act, and to act quickly, whatever the risk might be. hay had been ashore for hours with Royde that day, and she must have come on board thrilled by her new experiences, already un- der the spell of the East which she had felt for the first time. And now, lulled by music, and by Royde's subtle flattery, she was alone with him. She couldn't leave Arthur Grant ir, charge of her patient, for he was on watch and had already stayed too long talking to her. In her despera- tion, she could only think of asking one of her fellow 'stewardesses to come far a fete 'minutes—surely it would seem natural enough that she should want to leave the hospital for a short time, since she had left her ordiniiy duties without warning.
