6 THE SCRANTON TRIBUNE-WEDNESDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 19, 1894. e Uisifors' Book. A YACHTING STORY. By A. T. QUILLER-COUCH. (These short serial stories are copyrighted by Bacheller, Johnson & Bach eller.and are printed InThe Tribune by special arrangement, simultaneous with their appearance la the leading dally Journals of the large cities). If anyone cares to buy the yawl Siren, he may have her for 200, or a trifle less Chan the worth of her ballast, as lead goes nowadays. For sufficient reasons to be disclosed In the course of this narrative I am unable to give her builder's name, and for reasons quite as sufficient I must admit the figures of her registered tonnage (29.56), cut on the beam of her forecastle, to be a fraud. I will be perfectly frank; there Is a mystery about the yacht. But I gave 400 for her In the early summer of 1890, and thought her dirt cheap. She was 'built under the old "Thames rule," that Is, somewhere be tween 1875 and 1880, and was, therefore, long and narrow to begin with. She has been lengthened since. Neverthe less, though nobody could call her a dry boat, she will behave herself In any ordinary sea, and come about quicker than most of her type. She Is fast, has sound timbers and sheathing that fits her like a skin, and her mainmast and :bowsprlt are particularly fine spars of Oregon pine; her mlzzen doesn't count for much. Let me add the newest of patent capstans I put this into her myself cabins paneled In teak and , pitch pine and cushioned with crushed red morocco, two suits of sail, besides a big spinnaker that does not belong to her present rig, a serviceable dinghy well, you can see for yourselves with out my saying more that, even to break up, she Is worth quite double the money. In what follows I Bhall take leave here and there to offer a name or sup press It. With these exceptions you shall hear precisely how the Siren came Into my hands. Early In 1890 I determined my health being In rather a poor way t;i take a longer holiday than usual, and spend the months of July, August and September In a cruise about the chan nel. My notion was to cross over to the French coast, sail down as far as Cherbourg, recross to Salcombe, and thence Idle westward to Sicily, and finish up, perhaps, with a run over to Ireland. This, I say, was my notion; you could not call It a plan, for It left me free to anchor in any port I chose, and no stay there just as long as It amused me. One fixed Intention I had, and only one to avoid the big regat tas. Money had to be considered, and I thought at first of hiring. I wanted I Rested on My Oars and something between twenty-five and forty tons, small enough to be worked by myself and a crew of three, or at most three men and a boy, and large enough to keep us occupied while at dor. ''j Of course I studied the advertisement columns, and for some time found noth ing that seemed even likely to suit. But at last In the Field, and In the left hand bottom corner where It had been squeezed by the lists of the usual world-known agencies I came on the t'.ie following coy announcement: "Yawl, 35 tons. For Immediate SALE that fast and comfortable cruiser Siren, lately refitted and now in perfect con dition throughout. Rigging, etc., as good as new. Cabin appointments of iimi&ual richness and taste. 400. Ap ply, Messrs. Dewy and Moss, AgentB and Surveyors, Portside Street, F ." On reading this I took down "Hunt sr.d Lloyd's Yacht Register," and hunt ed for further details. Sirens crowd pretty thickly In the yachting list, only a little less thickly than Undines, and Including Slrenes and Sirenas, I found eome fourteenand not a yawl amongst them, nor anything of her tonnage. There were two more In Lloyd's list cf American yachts one a center board schooner, the Other a center board sloop; and In a further list I c.me upon a Siren that had changed her name to Mirage a screw schooner of one hundred and ninety tons, owned by no less a man than the Marquis of Ormonde. On the whole It seemed pretty clear that neither Lloyd nor Hunt knew of the existence of this "fast and comfortable cruiser" of thirty-five tons. However, If half the promises of the (advertisement were genuine, the chances ought not to be lost for lack of further Inquiry. So I sat down there ,and then and wrote a letter to the poetically named Dewy and Moss, ask ing some questions In detail about the boat, and, In particular, where Bhe was to be seen. The answer came by return of poet. The boat had been laid up since the au tumn In a sheltered creek of the F river, about three-quarters of a .mile lip from the harbor aide, where Messrs. I)ewy and Moss transacted business. The keys lay at their office, and she could be inspected at any time. Her sails, gear and movable furniture were tored in a roomy loft at the back of Messrs. Dewy and Moss' own premises. Their client was a lady who wished to keep her name concealed at any rate during the preliminaries; but they had full power to conduct the sale. The yacht was a bargain. The lady wished to get rid of It at once; but they might mention that she would not take a 'penny less than the quoted price of 400. They would be happy to deal with Jne In that or any other line of busi ness; and they inclosed their card. The card bore witness to the ex traordinary versatility of Messrs. Dewy and Moss If to nothing else. It proclaimed them to be' "Auctioneers; Practical Valuers; House and Estate 'Agents; Business Brokers; Ship Brok ers; Accountants and Commission Mer chants; Servants' Registry office; Flrei Life, Accident, and Plate Glass Insur ance Effected; Fire Claims prepared and adjusted; Live Stock Insured; Agents for Gibson's Non-Slipping Cy-! cles; Agents for Packlngaon's Manures; thq 'best and cheapest fcfr all crops; Valuations for Probate; Emigration ,iAgent; Private Arrangements nego tated . with' Creditors; 'Old Violins cleaned and repaired; Vice-Consulate for Norway and Sweden." I cannot say this card produced quite the Impression which Its composers no doubt desired. It seemed to me that Messrs. Dewy & Moss had altogether too- many strings to their bow. And the railway Journey to F was a long one. So I hesitated for two days, and on the late afternoon of the third found! myself some three hundred miles from home, standing In a windy street full of the blown odors of ship ping and pulling at a bell which sound with terrifying alacrity Just on the other side of . the door. A win dow was thrown up, right above me, and a head appeared (of Dewy, as It turned out) and commanded me to walk In and come upstairs. Mr. Dewy met me on the landing, Introduced himself and led me Into his office, where a fat young woman sat awkwardly upon a wooden chair sev eral Inches too high for her. Hastily reviewing the many professional capa cities in which Mr. Dewy could serve her, I decided that she must be a cook In search of a place. The agent gave me the only other chair In the room It was clear that In ther various feats of commercial dexterity the firm de pended very little upon furniture and "accessories" and balanced himself on the edge of his knee-hole table. He was a little, round man, and his feet dangled three Inches from the floor. He looked honest enough, and spoke straightforwardly. "You have come about the yacht, sir. You would wish to Inspect her at once. Dear dear, It Is most unfor tunate! Your letter only reached us this afternoon. The fact Is, my part ner, Mr. Moss, has gone off for the day to N to attend a meeting of the Amateur Bee-Keepers' association my partner is an enthusiast upon bee culture." The versatility of Moss began to grow bewildering. "And will not be back until late to night. As for me," he consulted his watch; "I am due In half an hour's time to conduct the rehearsal of a ser vice of song at Lady Huntingdon's chapel, down the street, where I play the harmonium." . The diversity of Dewy dazed me com pletely. "You are staying the night at F ?" he said. Drifted Toward Them. "Why, yes. I sleep at the Ship Inn, but hoped to leave early tomorrow.' "Of course you could Inspect the sails and gear now at once; they are in the loft behind." He jerked a thumb over his left shoulder. "So I understand; but It would be better to see the boat first." "Naturally, naturally. I hope you see how I am placed. You would not desire me, I feel sure, to dlssappolnt the members who will be waiting presently for their rehearsal. (I began to delight In Dowy).' Stay, perhaps you would not greatly object to rowing up and in specting the yacht by yourself? Here are the keys and my boat Is at your disposal; or, If you prefer It, a water man" "Nothing would suit me better, If you don't mind my using the boat." "It will be a favor, sir, your using her, I assure you. This way, If you please." He jumped from the table and led the way downstairs and through some very rickety back premises to the quay door, where his boat lay moored to a frape. As I climbed down and cast off Mr. Dewy pulled out his watch again. "The evenings are lengthening, and you will have plenty of time. Half the tide with you each way. The keys will open everything on board. By the way, you can't miss her black, with a tar nished gilt line, moored beside a large white schooner, Just three-quarters of a mile up. You can moor the boat to the frape on your return; tomorrow will do for the keys; at your service any time after 9 a. m. Good evening, sir." Mr. Dewy turned and hurried bnck to his client, whose presence during our Interview he had completely Ig nored. The sun had dropped behind the tnll hills that line the western shore of the F river; but a Boft yellow light, too generously spread to dazzle, suffused the whole sky, and was reflected on the tide that stole up with scarcely a rip ple. A sharp bend. of. the stream brought me In sight of the two yachts, not fifty yards away their Inverted re flections motionless as themselves; I rested on my oars and rifted up to ward them, conning the black yawl carefully. She struck me as too big for a thirty five tonner, foreshortened though she lay a wall-glded narrow boat, but a very pretty specimen of her type. Her dismantled masts were painted white, PIERCE CURE or Mouey paid for Ills Idedicluea 1 Helurued. i Wemon, Copiah Co., ISlm. Dr. It. V.

She lay with her nose pointing up the river and her stern toward me. The man stood by. her wheel (for some Idiotic reason , best known , to himself, her builder had given her a wheel In stead of a tiller), which was covered up with tarpaulin. He stood with a hand on this tarpaulin case, and looked back over his shoulder toward me a tall fellow with a reddish beard and a clean-shaven upper lip. I was drifting close by this time he looked curiously at me and must have been studying his features for half a minute before I hailed him. "HI!" I called out. "Is this the Siren?" Getting no answer, I pulled the boat close under the yacht's side, made her fast and climbed on board by way of the channels. "This is the Siren, eh?"I said, looking down her deck toward the wheel. There was no man to be seen. I stared around for a minute or so; ran to the opposite side and looked over; ran aft and lonned over her taff ratl; ran forward and peered over her bows. Her counter was too short to conceal a man, and her stern hud ab solutely no overhang at all; yet no man was to be Been, nor boat, nor Bign of a man I tried the companion, It was covered and padlocked. The sail hatch and fore hatch were also fastened and padlocked, and the skylights covered with tarpaulin and screwed firmly down. A mouse could not have found Its way below, except perhaps by the stove pipe or the pipe leading down to the chain locker. I was no believer In ghosts, but I had to hit on some theory there and then. My nerves had been out of order for a month or two. and the long railway Journey must have played havoc with them. The whole thing was an halluci nation. So I told myself while get ting the coverings off the skylights, but somehow got mighty little comfort out of It; and I will not deny that I fumbled a bit with the padlock on the main hatchway, or that I looked down ou t Forget that when you buy Scott's Emul sion you are not getting a secret mixture containing worthless or harmful drugs.
