"I am rather puzzled about her," said papa; "she could scarcely have run us out of sight.  Perhaps the vessel we saw last night was a stranger bound up the Bristol Channel; still, she was closer in shore than was advisable.  Possibly the Dolphin remained hove-to, or if not, perhaps she bore up before we did, and is already safe at anchor in Saint Ives Bay.  We must make the best of our way there.  Hand me the glass."
