With those words he rushed forward, sprang out on the jib-boom and leaped to the deck of the Fox.
A moment later he confronted Lord Stanford, who was still clinging to Inza.
“Break away, you villain!” were the words that shot from Merriwell’s lips.
Then he caught the Englishman by the collar, broke his hold on Inza, and sent him sprawling his full length on the deck.
“Oh, Frank!”
“Inza!”
He held her close in his arms.
“I knew you would come! Something told me you would find a way to follow!” she declared.
“I would follow you to the end of the world!” he whispered.
