Chapter XXI
As they shoved off from the _Broken Heart_, Olivia waved to them from her state-room port. Margaret felt a pang of remorse that he had not shaken hands with Perrin, nor spoken with Cammock, before leaving the ship. He was nearly alongside the sloop when he saw Cammock’s hat above the poop nettings. “He’s hailing you, Captain Margaret,” said the stroke oar. “Oars a moment.”
