The Lady of the Shroud

BOOK VI: THE PURSUIT IN THE FOREST
28/152

We saw nothing suspicious except, far off to the extreme southward, one warship which flew no flag.

Rooke, however, who seemed to know ships by instinct, said she was a Turk; so on our return we signalled along the whole shore to watch her.

Rooke held The Lady--which was the name I had given the armoured yacht--in readiness to dart out in case anything suspicious was reported.

He was not to stand on any ceremony, but if necessary to attack.

We did not intend to lose a point in this desperate struggle which we had undertaken.
