Christine tries to keep in touch with her young half sister, but Fay, not being in Christine's section, can .be visited by Christine only late at night. She soon, has to give up going reg- ularly, because she is seen in the alley -way by the steward on watch, who spreads a rumour that she is "poaching" in another stewardess's section. In the Bay of Biscay, Doria Smythe falls ill, which brings Christine into contact with the ship's doctor, John Stanhope, a friendly young man to who she takes a great liking. Soon afterwards, she learns that Fay has taken up with Martin Royde.

Suez Canal the great desert stretched to the far horizon, pale gold in the moonlight. An Arab wrapped in his burnoose; still as a statue on hit white camel, watched the liner go past, front: the bank of the Canal. The great quietness of the desert brought peace to Christine's torment- ed spirit, It was as though that Arab watcher on his white camel was a symbol "of the,desei•t itself, as tltoigh so many human . griefs and joys had passed before his hooded eyes, passed and been forgotten, for human `grief an..; joys'were fleeting, and the desert endured for ever. "I must go to; Fay, she said wear- ily, under<her breath, and turned and went down the companion. , It was long after midnight, and she met no one on her way to the lower deck, though the lights were stillon in the cabin de luxe, and she could hear that Royde "had turned on the gramophone again. Probably Darla Smythe and Iris Collins were still with him. Fay's room was in darkness, but when Christine switched on the light, she saw that Fay had flung herself across the narrow bed'and was fast asleep, still fully dressed. Christine noticed the long chain of amber beads on the dressing table, and guessed that Royde had bought them for Fay in Port ,Said that day, and that she had not worn them because her dress was red. "Wake up," she said softly. Fay stirred but did not wake until :Christine deftly began to take of her shoes and then her red frock. Then she (paned her eyes and stared sleep- ily at Christine. "Is it morning—time to get up?" she murmured drowsily, "No—you've not been to bed yet, Fay." "I'in so sleepy, Christine," Fay said, closing her eyes again. Christine saw that it would be use- less to try to talk seriously to Fey that night, for she was not shamming drowsiness: she was so drugged with sleep that she simply did not know where she was, or why- Christine had come to her. The only thing to do was to get her into bed. And Fay, letting Christine undress her and tuck her up in bed like a child, was so like the' baby sister whom Christine had mothered, years ago, that it was difficult to remember how much trouble she had caused Christine, that very night. For ten minutes, they were back in a distant Pest. "Good -night, darling,", Christine ;said gentlya, stooping over Fay to kiss her. "Good -night, Christine," Fay whisp- Christine went' along the alley -way to her own cabin. She undressed in the dark, very quietly, and neither Mrs. Parr. nor Miss Crane spoke to her, but she was almost sure that she heard a faint movement from the up- per bunk.
