Mary made her way down to the deck and stopper at Bruee's door long enough to see old J. J. Jupiter seated by his son's bunk, holding his hand as if he had been a child. Bruce's. eyes were closed; he was sleeping peacefully. She turned back to her own room, told, weary and feeling more than a little forlorn. Her door was open and i.. it stood a strange future--' ghostly, wild-eyed figure in white pajamas. “Mary!" Dirk cried at sight of her, and reached for her. "Mary, my love, I've been such a fool.' I heard shots and I thought you were killed!” They sat on the edge of Mary's bed, arms about each other, grinning fool-) izhly but happily at each other. "Happy?" Di k :.sked gently. "Terribly happy.'" "it's been a long time'." It was their old joke, but instead of laugh- ing they were suddenly more serious than they had ever been with each other.

"Anyway, Bruce has got a .38 slug in him, and the gun in question was . .38, so it's reasonable to suppose it's his own gun De Loma stole." "But the chloroform?” "The chloroform came out of the captain's medicine chest in Bruee's KW". When the lovers had finally parted! Bates took Mary to her room.
