THE BLOUKADE RUNNER. 109 CHAPTER XIV. ANOTHER TRAGEDY. THE sun rose next morning over a troubled sea. The gale had nearly gone down, and the sky was clear and without a cloud, but the waves still ran high, heaving their snowy crests all about the Fox- hound. | 7 The day promised to be a charming one. _ When the steward summoned the occupants of the cabin to breakfast, Miss Nora Mowbray made her ap- pearance, looking very pale, but withal very charming. The counterfeit Catesby was already at the table, seated next to Mr. Cresson. Captain Powell was at the head aft the board, and he gallantly rose to assist Norah to her seat, whuk was next his own, and nearly opposite the presumed Confederate agent. At that moment Gordon Mowbray came out of his stateroom and sat beside his daughter, not deigning to notice the man he knew to be Flash Gilmor. The leading topic was the tragedy of the unfor- tunate bark, graphically described by Mr. Cresson, and the girl was horrified at the awful as of life on board the ill-fated vessel. After breakfast Powell in vited Norah on deck. Mowbray hovered near them, waiting for a chance to talk confidentially to the captain about the dis- guised passenger. Comiclboooks.ce@ e 4
