One
was
the
Arrow
and
the
other
a
small
French
cruiser
.
The
sides
of
the
latter
were
crowded
with
men
gazing
shoreward
,
and
it
was
evident
to
Clayton
,
as
to
the
others
who
had
now
joined
him
,
that
the
gun
which
they
had
heard
had
been
fired
to
attract
their
attention
if
they
still
remained
at
the
cabin
.
Both
vessels
lay
at
a
considerable
distance
from
shore
,
and
it
was
doubtful
if
their
glasses
would
locate
the
waving
hats
of
the
little
party
far
in
between
the
harbor
's
points
.

Esmeralda
had
removed
her
red
apron
and
was
waving
it
frantically
above
her
head
;
but
Clayton
,
still
fearing
that
even
this
might
not
be
seen
,
hurried
off
toward
the
northern
point
where
lay
his
signal
pyre
ready
for
the
match
.
It
seemed
an
age
to
him
,
as
to
those
who
waited
breathlessly
behind
,
ere
he
reached
the
great
pile
of
dry
branches
and
underbrush
.
As
he
broke
from
the
dense
wood
and
came
in
sight
of
the
vessels
again
,
he
was
filled
with
consternation
to
see
that
the
Arrow
was
making
sail
and
that
the
cruiser
was
already
under
way
.
Quickly
lighting
the
pyre
in
a
dozen
places
,
he
hurried
to
the
extreme
point
of
the
promontory
,
where
he
stripped
off
his
shirt
,
and
,
tying
it
to
a
fallen
branch
,
stood
waving
it
back
and
forth
above
him
.

But
still
the
vessels
continued
to
stand
out
;
and
he
had
given
up
all
hope
,
when
the
great
column
of
smoke
,
rising
above
the
forest
in
one
dense
vertical
shaft
,
attracted
the
attention
of
a
lookout
aboard
the
cruiser
,
and
instantly
a
dozen
glasses
were
leveled
on
the
beach
.
Presently
Clayton
saw
the
two
ships
come
about
again
;
and
while
the
Arrow
lay
drifting
quietly
on
the
ocean
,
the
cruiser
steamed
slowly
back
toward
shore
.
At
some
distance
away
she
stopped
,
and
a
boat
was
lowered
and
dispatched
toward
the
beach
.
