They put up their sail again and gradually the _Catspaw_ pointed her nose toward the coast.

Just before darkness came the sea had quieted enough to make possible an attempt to get the cables aboard again and those on the schooner saw the cruisers draw together.

Steve and Phil caught the line hurled from the _Follow Me_ after several attempts and then the tender was dropped over and with the two cables aboard the boys made for the _Catspaw_.
Those on the schooner watched anxiously.

At one moment the tiny dingey was seen poised on the summit of a great green sea and the next was quite gone from sight.

The sun came out momentarily before saying Good Night, as though to watch that struggle.
