"Very well, Anne; send for him."
A footman was summoned and within a few minutes Armitage was the centre of an interested group. He swept the Narragansett shore for a few minutes and then turned to Mrs. Wellington.
"There 's a large white yacht with a yellow funnel, which has a silver band on top, this side of Point Judith," he said. "I can see the red glint of her house flag."
"Why, that's the Mayfair!" cried Anne. "Come on, mother, Sara."
"She won't be up for three-quarters of an hour, Anne," said her mother.
"I don't care. Come, Sara, we 'll raise the flags on the landing ourselves."
As Sara and Anne and the two boys trouped down the path to the cleft in the cliffs, Mrs. Wellington nodded at Jack.
"Quinn reports that you captured a burglar last night, McCall."
Jack smiled.
"Yes, Mrs. Wellington. I caught him in the hall on the second floor. I had him before he could lift a hand and turned him over to the watchman."
