It was a fine, clear day in June, when Hezekiah Lewis, captain and part owner of the schooner Thames, bound from London to Aberdeen, anchored off the little out of the way town of Oxford, in Suffolk. Among other antiquities the town possessed Hezekiah's widowed mother, and when there was no very great hurry —the world went slower in those days —the dutiful son used to go ashore in the ship's boat, and after a filial tap at his mother’s window, whiel startled the old lady c pass on to seo he had already proposed without effect.

The sun beat fiercely down, bringing the fresh paint on the taflrail up in blisters and sorely trying the tempers of the men who were doing odd jobs on deck. The cabin where the two victims of a mutinous crew had retired for cool- ness got more and more stuffy, until at length even the scorching sun seemed preferable, and the girl, with a faint hope of finding a shady cor- ner, went languidly up the compan- ion ladder.
