An hour elapsed, and a distinct though faint sound of oars was heard. Every heart beat quicker. " All hands to repel boarders !" said the third oflicer, in a suppressed voice. " Silence, you fool, " retorted Ralph ; " do you think they'll come with such a noise as that ?" "Zephyr, ahoy, ahoy !" came up in a faint but familiar voice from under the bow. " It's the Captain /" responded twenty voices in a breath, and before the buzz of excitement had sub- sided, Sinclair stood upon the deck.
