Captain Giron had brought Sir John and his daughter with him as prisoners on board the corvette, instead of sending them with the Cardiff 204 THE COMMANDER OF THE HIRONDELLE Castle back to France. Then so quick is thought ! he found time to shudder at the reflection of what would have happened if he had not intercepted La Mulette, and headed her off in the chase ! He might have captured the merchantman; he would have lost the one shining prize of his life the girl he loved ! He thought, too, wi...th an emotion of quite unsailor- like distress, of how the two brigs had fired into the ship a mere wooden shell that held that dainty figure ! Sir John was by this time talking volubly ; Gaunt heard his voice as if in a dream. He found Sir John was, in a hesitating fashion, saying what a debt he and his daughter owed to Gaunt. He stopped in his somewhat formal speech, and looked round. The black scars of battle on every side of him, the sight of the British sailors, many of them with blood-stained bandages, and of the bodies of the slain, lying side by side under the bulwark, broke through all reserve.
