He saw the Marv Rose twist sud- idenlv to starboard and then. struck by l-WO heavy waves in suocemion. stagger sideways. Then lie glimpsed the great m. aiixular fin and the black shape of the basking shark, mOVlIIQ through the wild sea straight for the side of the Marv Rose. "She's out of control. The shark'll be on her.’ he gasped. David thrust the pibe back into his mouth and bit hard on the stem. There was riothiniz he could do to oilskins. he ‘watched the events from a distance oi less than a hundred yards. As the Marv Rose lav in the ho‘- low trough of the wave, the shark's nose touched her hull. For a mom- ent the monster seemed to hesitate. On boaai the skiff old Donald was shouting desperate instructions. "Reverse, you fool!" he roared to the white-faced boy who was in charge of the engine. To the steers- u But his orders. even though they were carried out to the best. of his crew's abilities could not stave of! the onslaught of the shark. Norah. still clutching the brass rail of the wheelhouse. saw the monsters nose touch the Mary Rose and she rem- embered the words of the young fisherman: "Sharks are like pi s. They'll breenge right through an o - structioii." she forgot about Hector. who had fallen on his knees beside her and was clinging to a bollard to prevent himself being swept over- board by the seas which roared over em. Then the shark attacked. It leap- ed from the water and flung ltsef azainst the starboard lllllile. near the stern. its huge mouth gaplnll and showiiiiz row upon row of slim, gleaming teeth. There was a crash and the sound of spliiitcrin wood. Norah remained utterly slent. as the skiff. not much heavier than the. shark itself. heeled over and seemed about to turn turtle. Something — some hardihood inherited, perhaps. from s loruz line of nshm forebears -enablod her to keep ou et and to bide the terror with which she was possessed. Old Donald was shout- ing curses at the shark. while Men- tcith had fallen forward and his face was hidden against the bollard. And suddenly, as the Mary Rose leaned over under the weight of her attacker. the shark slithered towards the stern, its cruel head passing Norah's feet at a distance oi’ only a iew inches. and with a. hurry oi foam and a tremendous crash feil back into the sea. lts miglitv tail ilew up and struck, the iviarv Rose on the rounded po.nt of the stern. She was liited a foot or two and sank back into the sca with an odd lame motion. The engine began to xvhine and roar in an unusual fash- on ‘Stop her! stop her!" veiled Don- ald to the engineer. The brute has siiiippeu Oil the screw." Astern_ the black body of the shark was moving aivay iroin tliem, its desire for action apparently sat- isfied. Once or twice it ieaiwed straight out of tne water, but lin- alv sank from view beneath the tirilci rollers. _i.iepriveo of the power of her cii- gine, the Mary Rose was at the mercy of the storm and of the cur- rent WhlClL in this particular local- ity. tended to draw her in towards the fangs oi the Black Rook. She rolled worse than ever now. for the steersinan had no moans of keeping lier head to the sea. and when the waves struck her broadside on it seemed each time as if her Last moment had come.

While the shark was attacking and the sail wus being adjusted. however, the Marv Rose had been drifting closer and closer m the mock Rock, and even tliouizh the sail gave her headway, it did iict provide enough power to stop the ft_ though now, of course, this drift was much slower. steadily. inexorably, Norah Grants skiff was bent; sucked towards that precipice of death. ‘ine oiilycraii. near the Mary Rose was the Silver spray. _'I‘he other boats were still over a mile behind. With something; akin to horror David and Jock rad witnessed the attack by the shark,and they had been immensely relieved when it became apparent that the Mary Rose had escaped with no worse damage than a broken propeller and a. stove-in giurle. As soon as the, brown sail was hoisted they had realized that. the worstdanger was over. David stopped hzs boat and hove-to. He pcrce ved that the other skiff. with Norah Grant and Hector Menteith aboard, had begun to move perlbusly near to the Blac Rock and there him stirred in h mind the germ of an idea.
