CHAPTER XXIII. Tho Niding ranged alongside, Miss Chrysio still sitting at her Maxim with Robertson baide her ready to see to the ammunition feed, and the president, leaning over the forward rail, said as lagonically as though he had been put ting the most ordinary business proposition:
the bridge, the president's holding up the Rossians with his gap, and the ngines are working all right, bat half the crew and all the company are still something like dead, with that Frenchwoman's dengs, whatever they were.
Captain Burgess took the chief engineer's Lint, and a stiff brandy anik, soda. Then be dressed and went on deck. sud had a brief conversation with the prosident, after which he took charge of the operations of clearing all the coal and stores out of the Vlodoya hefore she was Bout, to the bottom.
The president sad Miss Chrysio had to entertain their involuntary guests at lanch, for sithongh the rest of the Nadine's company were recovering consciousness, they were still under the doctor's care and unable to leave their borths, but at dinner that evening Lady Olive, the Earl, and Hardress were able to welcome them, and they did yo with a sardonis cordiality Good morning, Excellency. I guess you and which compelled both his Excellency and Sophie the Countess had better come on board se scone admit that these Anglo-Saxons were, after as possible.

Count Valdemar holds hurried consultation with the taptan of the Flodoya, and replied politely as he could ;*
The fortune of war is with you, Mr. Vandel, and there is no need for any further conceal ment. We are crippled, but the watertight compartments have been closed and we shall float. Meanwhile we are helpless and entirely at your service. What do you wish as to do p
In the meantime the Nadine's beint had boon Jowered and was pulling round her sters to the gangway of the Flodoyo which had been lowered; and the president replied:
We'll have to ask your Excellency and the Counters to be our guests for a bit; so if you'll just come right on board and tell your people to get your baggage fixed up we'll be able to save you a certain amount of unpleasantness You will be a lot more comfortable on board here than you will there, because we're going to iske what coal you've got and then sink yan.”
As the president said, this, the captain of the Russian yacht nodded towards a man standing by one of the one-pounders on the fore deck, he pulled the lanyard, there was a sharp bang, wad a shell bored its way through the plates of the Nadine amidships, just missing the engines.

Hardress, who had taken a somewhat perilously large dose of the fair Adelaide's punch, loooked pale and seemed rather sleepy. antil he had had two or three glasses of cham- pegue, and then he seemed to brighten up and began discussing international politics with a frankness and an intimate knowlelga which simply astounded their involuntary guests. Se far as the party was concerned there was now no further need for anything like concealment and not only were the Storage Works discussed, in their full nature, and purpose, but even the advent of the French and Russian expeditions at Hoothis Land was anticipated with what the Count afterwards described to Sophie as brutally disgusting frankness.

Miss Chrysio, eating har strawberries at dessert as daintily a thongh bor hande had never been within a mile of a Maxim gun, chatted and chaffed just as she had been wont to do at Orrel Court, and the president talked- gunnery and machinery with the explain sud Mr. McNiven, who had been invited to jois the party, and finally, when even the Marquise came in to dessert on Lady Olive's pressing invitation, all that she beard about her deliberate attempt to drag the whole ship's company was from Lord Orrel, who rose as she entered, and said in just such a tone as he might have usedances. in the drawing room at Orel Court s

"My dear Marquise, I am delighted to see that you have recovered from the same. mysterious indisposition that has affected all of us. I am really afraid that there must have been something wrong with the recipe for the punch a la Grande Monarque or perhaps it was not intended for general uso. However, as we are all happily recovered, wo, need not trouble Gurselves any farther about that."
Sophie looked across at the Nadine's bridge Adelaide entered instantly into the spirit of the and saw Chrysie's white face and burning eyes comedy that was being played and she replied: looking over the barrel of the Maxim.

which until a few hours ago she had hoped to gain over him, and through him the world, was now only a dream never to be realised. Still she kept herself nuder command marvellously, and greeted the Count and Sophie just as though the Nadine bad been lying off Cowes instead of being lashed to the Plodoya ia mid- Atlantic, with the steam winches rattling and rearing over their heads, eroptying the Russian yacht's bunkers into the Nadine's as fast as her own crew and what was left of her enemy's could do it. In short, a most unexpectedly plossent evening was spent by everybody,
Mise Chrysis at once left the gun with which she had done such terrible axoration, and went with the chief officer to receive them. To the utter astonishment of both the Count and Bophie, she held out her hand as cordially as though the meeting had taken place on the terrace of Orrel Court, and aid with a some what exaggerated draw

She watched them disappear down the com panion way to the saloon, then she put her hande up to her eyes, groped her way half- blindly to a long wicker chair, dropped into it, and incontinently fainted.

They both did it very well, and more than one person in the cosy little smoking-room could have killed them for it.
Nothing occurred to give the Count and Sophie or Adelaide and the innocent Madame de Bourbon any idea that they were really prisoners until they retired for the night. Then the chief steward knocked at the Count's door and asked if he wanted anything mors. Mrs. Erain did the same for Sophie and the Marquise, and then the doors of the staterooms were locket.
