But passages were secured at last, and the almost unhoped-for, des- polred-oi journey was about to be- gin. Hall by the exercise of more diplomacy than he would ever have bcl cvcd himself to possess. had ob- tained the right to travel in the trooper. Together they stood on the deck of S. S. Berkshire and watched Bombay receding behind their ship's wake as the steamer kept on ts steady course towards the horizon. This was their inst glimpse of India.

Across the silver waters of the harbour, from the clustered ship- png at the guays. tiny skirts and wide-sailed hows skimmed like butterflies in the sunlight.

The gateway to the country of the Great Raj closed gradually, leaving only a memory of the miir- mur of voices. temple bells and drum-beats. all blending even ln remembrance i-nm a lessening hum M the land receded. faded into the distance.

"I wonder shall we ever see it all again." Chrissie said under her breath.

"I wonder!" Hall echoed.

"You know me better than that," Hall answered, while Chrissie added earnestly: , “Oh. Leonie, I'm so glad you're here!"

"That's well. then. I should have been extremely bored with e ex- elusive company of my colonel‘: wife and her progeny.

The steamer was forging steadily through the darkness, one of a oon- voy 0i dim lightless shapes, part of the very night itself. That sense of stealth. of the presence of an un- seen enemy. marked the difference between these nights at sea and those of ce-tlme voyagers. It was as though the ship herself were groping, blindfold. communicating her own feeling of helplessness to all those on board.

Hall, standing with Leonie near tho bows, overlooking the forecastle head, made a little restless move- ment,
