Two lovers and a hidden fugitive aboard a voyage
A seasoned captain recalls a fall 1872 voyage when he ferried Mr. Brandon and his daughter Alice. The father’s embezzlement clue leads to a daring plan to fake his death and flee, aided by the captain and the young woman. A detective later invokes a buried-at-sea burial and a London port confrontation, ending the romantic episode.
