Jack didn't necerrsily want to end this tete a tete with Miss Cardew, but part of his feeling of obligation to her father, and now her brother, was ensuring that she was safe and well. Now that she seemed less inclined towards fainting it seemed he must give up the pleasure of her conversation. There must a be a great deal many more pleasant and diverting conversations to be had than with her brothers friend, a man she had known since she was a child. It seemed to be confirmed to him when she requested that he find he brother or step mother.

He tried to hide his disapointment, turning to the sea to hide his face, before turning back, he called over one of the stewards, 'Find mister Gallivan' he instructed, having thought twice about going himself to Theo. He didn't think it was appropriate to leave her alone. 'If you like Miss Gallivan I could escourt you to shore and you could wait for your brother and step mother there?'
