Chapter VI
THE RENDEZVOUS. He did not stir for some moments after she had disappeared. He was fearful lest the sailors on deck should suspect there was some connection between them if they quitted the place together. And his reflections as he paced to and fro the berth, were anything but pleasant ones. ‘How _dared_ she follow me?’ he soliloquised, with rage and anger gnawing at his heart.
