Chapter XIV
THE COMING STORM As Curlie's feet carried him forward on the deck of the _Kittlewake_, his eyes beheld the ghost which rose from the hatch taking on a familiar form. A white middy blouse, short white skirt and a white tarn, worn by a slender girl, moved forward to meet him. As the form came into the square of light cast by a cabin window, his lips framed her name: "Gladys Ardmore!" "Why, yes," she smiled, "didn't you expect me?
