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,

death : the pliyilolana oould

healthy girl.

great many sufferers from

I have never found any
thing to compare with It.

and her upper boards had been re
moved, of course.
Hullo!
There was a man standing on her
deck.
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

She was a sweet ship; and the air be
low, though stuffy, had no taste of
bilge in it. I explored main cabin,
sleeping cabin, forecastle. The mov
able furniture had been taken ashore,
as I knew; but the fixtures were In
good order, the decorations In good
taste. Not a camel had shrunk or
warped, nor could I find any leakage.
At the same time I could fl.nd no evi
dences that she had been visited lately
by man or ghost. The only thing that
seemed ijueer was the Inscription
"29.50" on the beam In the forecastle.
It certainly struck me that the sur

I give the following statement unasked.
I have beon a sufferer for so long a time
and have spent so much money with no
called specialists and each time have been
disappointed and misled, that it was with
a good deal of doubt that I culled on DR.
HACKER. But knowing of some of tho
cures he made in this city four years ago,
and tho conlldence of the people of Scran
ton In him then, I resolved to try him.
It was a lucky move for me. I was
troubled with dizziness, spots floating be
fore my eyes, bad dreams, melancholy,
easily startled when spoken to, no desire
to exert myself and tired on the least ex
ertion, ospeclully In the morning; had
no pleaauro in company; very nervous
ond altogether was a complcto wreck.
But thanks to DR. HACKER, I am today
a well mun. I would advino all young men
suffering as I did to call Immediately; in
45 days X gained 111 flesh 18 pounds. For
obvious reasons I prefer to withhold my
name, but if any who suffer will call on
