I can hear it in the shrouds, and the bow throws back the foam." It is evident that the Czarina Catherine is still at sea, hastening on her way to Varna.

Lord Godalming has just returned.

He had four telegrams, one each day since we started, and all to the same effect.
That the Czarina Catherine had not been reported to Lloyd's from anywhere.

He had arranged before leaving London that his agent should send him every day a telegram saying if the ship had been reported.
He was to have a message even if she were not reported, so that he might be sure that there was a watch being kept at the other end of the wire.
We had dinner and went to bed early.

Tomorrow we are to see the Vice Consul, and to arrange, if we can, about getting on board the ship as soon as she arrives.
