of the disaster, although no sur-
vivors or bodies had been picked
up for some time. Sliortiy after
midnight the yacht gave up
further seareh and headed back to
Caimora.
I did a good deal of thinking
during the run back to the city.
But, like my talk with Eldridge,
it led nowhere. Carretos had been
picked up, I heard, and the man
was much in my thoughts.
I was almost positive he knew
the Alderbaron was destined to go
down. And yet, if he had been in
possession of that knowledge, why
had he sailed on her? Surely no
sane man would have risked his
life by taking passage on a doomed
ship. Certainly not Carretos. Life
to him was altogether too sweet.
I saw Mildred but once during
the run back to Caimora, and then
I had no opportunity to talk to
her, for she was helping care for
the women who had been injured
when the first lifeboat capsized.
