“At our beach too,” added Connie. “He’s coming here, I think.”
Now, although the girls had done nothing wrong they felt very uneasy. Not saying a word, they remained by the window, watching.
The lifeguard had not seen them. He came on down the dock toward the Adventurer and the other cruisers tied up alongside.
Vevi and Connie saw him pause beside a mahogany craft which bore the name Miss Lady. It was one of the most expensive boats at Silver Beach, owned by a very wealthy man.
Mr. Curry glanced quickly around to be certain no one was watching. Then he leaped lightly aboard the vessel.
“Let’s tell him about seeing Jamie,” Vevi suggested.
She started to leave the cabin. Connie caught her by the hand, drawing her back to the porthole.
“Don’t make a sound,” she advised. “Just watch! He’s up to something!”
Vevi could not imagine why Connie had become so excited.
Then, peering through the window, she understood the reason. Although no one appeared to be aboard Miss Lady, the lifeguard was trying to force open the cabin door!
