Passing back through the main cabin
I paused to examine one or two of the
fittings particularly a neat glass
fronted bookcase, with a small side
board below It, containing three drawers
and a cellaret. The bookcase was
empty and clean swept, as also were
the drawers. At the bottom of the
cellaret I found a couple of flags
stowed a tattered yellow quarantine
signal tightly rolled Into a bundle, and
a red ensign neatly folded. As I lifted
out the latter, there dropped from its
folds and fell upon the cabin floor a
book.
- I picked It up a thin quarto bound
In black morocco, and rather the worse
for wear. On its topside It bore the
(OP
Her rv
I I'ickcJ It I p.
following nscription in dingy gilt let
ters "Job's Hotel, Penleveu. Visitors'
Hook. J. Job, Proprietor."
Standing there beneath the skylight,
I turned its pages over, wondering
vaguely how the visitors' book of a
small provincial hotel had found its
way into that drawtr. It contained
the usual assortment of conventional
praise and vulgar jocosity
"Mr. and the Hon. Mrs. Smith, .of
Huddertleld, cannot speak too highly
of Mrs. Job's ham and eggs. Sep. 15,
1SS1."
"Arrived wet through after a 15-mile
tramp along the coast; but, thanks
to Mr. and Mrs. Job, was soon steam
ing over a comfortable fire. John and
Annie Watson, March, 1SS2."
Note appended by a humorist:
"Then you sat on the hob, I suppose."
There was the politely patronizing
entry:
"Being accustomed to Wolverhamp
ton, I am groatly pleased with this
const. F. B. W."
The poetical effusion:
"Majestic spot! Say, doth the sun in
Heaven '
Behold aught to equal thee, wave-washed
Penleven?" etc.
Lighter verse:
Here I came to take my case."
(Old joke in margin by another hand:
"Shall I not ache my knees at mine
Inn?")
"Aprreeably disappointed to find no fl
"Mrs. Job, your bread and butter
"Is quite too utterly, utterly utter!
"J. Harper, June, 3, 1883."
The contemplative man's ejacula
tion: "It Is impossible on viewing these
cyclopean cliffs, to repress the thought,
How great is nature, how little man!"
(Notes in various hands: "So it Is,
old chnp! Try Hudson's Extract!" and
a reproof: "Shut up! can't you see he's
suffering!"
The last entry was a brief one:
"J. MaeGuIre, Liverpool; Sept. 2,
186."
Twilight forced me to close the book
and put It back In ts place. As I did
so I glanced up lnvolutarily towards
the skylight as If I half expected to
find a pair of eyes staring down on me.
Yet the book contained nothing but
these mere trivialities. Whatever my
apprehension, I was, as J. Harper
would have said, agreeably disap
pointed. I climbed on deck again, re
locked the hatch, replaced the tarpau
lins, Jumped into the boat and rowed
homewards. Though the tide favored
me It wan dark before I reached 'Mr.
Dewy' 8 quay door. Having, with
some difficulty, found the frape, I
made the boat fast. I groped my way
across the back premises and out Into
the gaslit streets and so to the Ship
Inn, a fair dinner and a sound night's
Sleep.
At 10 o'clock next morning I called
on Messi's. Dewy &Moss. Again Mr.
Dewy received me, and again he apol
ogized for the absence of his partner,
Who had caught an early train to at
tend a wrestling match at the far end
of the county. (Moss was becoming
Immense.) Mr. Dewy showed me the
sails, gear, cushions, etc., of the Siren.
Everything was in surprising condi
tion. I told him that I meant busi
ness, and added: ,
"I suppose you have all the yacht's
papers?"
He stroked his chin, bent his head to
ne side and asked: "Shall you require
ihem?" . .
"Of course," I said. "The transfer
must' be regular. We must have her
certificate of registry at the very least."
"In that case I had better write and
pet them from my client."
"Is she not a resident here?"
" "I don't know," he said, "that I
ought to tell you. But I see no harm
you are evidently, sir, a bona fide
purchaser. The lady's name Is Carllng
ford a widow residing at present in
Bristol."
"Ths Is annoying," said. I; "but if
she lives somewhere near the Temple
Wead station, I might Rkip a train
there and call on her. She herself de
sired no delay, and I desire It just as
little. But the papers are necessary."
After ome little demur, he gave me
flhe address and we parted. At the
oor I turned and asked: "By the way,
Who was the fellow on board the Siren
last night as I rowed, up to her?"
He gave me a stare of genuine sur
prise. "A man on board? Whoever he
was, he had mo business there. I look
after fhe yacht myself.'
Dewy's versatility was uncanny.
I fled to the railroad station. Soon
after six that evening I knocked at
Mrs. Oarllngford's lodgings in an un
attractive 'street, of Bedmlnster, that
unattractive suburb, ' A small maid
opened the door, took my card,-and
showed me Into a small slittlng-room
on the ground floor. I looked about

a walnut sideboard with glass panels,

cued from the flames of his father's
rectory, a colored photograph
As the door opened behind me and a
woman entered, I jumped back almost
Into her arms. The colored photograph
staring at me from the opposite wall
above the mantel-shelf, .was a portrait
-a portrait of the man I had seen on
board the Siren!
"Who Is that?" I demanded, wheel
ing round without ceremony.
But if I was startled, Mrs. Carllng
ford seemed ready to drop with fright.
The little woman she wuis a very
small, shrinking creature, with a pallid
face, and large, nervous eyes, like a
hare's put out a hand against the
jamb of the door and gasped out: '
"Whywhy do you ask? What do
you want?"
"I beg your pardon," I said; "It was
merely curiosity. I thought I had seen
the face somewhere."
"lie was my husband."
"He Is dead then?" .
"Oil, why do you ask? Yes; he died
abroad." She touched her widow's cap
with her shaking finger, and then cov
ered her face with her hands. "I was
there I saw it. Ah!" She drew back
a sudden breaith as if stabbed. "Why
do you ask?" she repeated.
"1 beg your pardon sincerely," 1
Bald; "It was only that the portrait re
minded me I thought but my busi
ness here is quite different. I am come
about the yacht Siren which you have
advertised for sale."
"My agents at F have full in
structions about the sale."
"Yes, but they tell me you have the
papers. I may say that I have seen the
yacht and gear and am ready to pay
the price you ask for Immediate pos
session. I said as much to Mr. Dewy.
But the papers, of course"
"Are they necessary?"
"Certainly they are. At least the
certificate of registry or, falling that,
some reference to 'the port of registry,
if the transfer is to be made. I should
also like to see her warrant, if she has
one, and her sail makers' certificate.
Messrs. Dewy & Moss could draw up
the inventory."
She still hesitated. At length she
said: "I have the certificate; I will
fetch It. The other papers, if she had
any, have been lost or destroyed. She
never had a warrant. I believe my
husband belonged to no yacht club. I
understand very little of these mat
ter.." She left the room, and returned In
five minutes or so with the open docu
ment in her hand. ,
"But," said I, looking over It, "this
Is a certificate of a vessel called the
Wasp."
"Ah, I must explain that. I wished
the boat to change her name with the
new owner her old name it has asso
ciationspainful , ones I should not
like anyone else to know her as the
Wasp." '
"Well," I admitted, "I can understand
that. But, See here, she Is entered as
having one mast and carrying a cutter
rig."
"She was a cutter originally. My
husband had her lengthened in 1SSC, I
think by five feet, and turned her into
a yawl. It was abroad, at Malaga"
"A curious port to choose."
"She was built, you see, as long ago
as 1875. My. husband used to say she
Who Is Thrit ?
was a broad boat for those days, and
could be lengthened successfully and
turned into quite a hew looking vessel.
He gave an entirely new sheathing, too,
and all her spars are new. She was not
Insured, and being in a foreign port, it
was understood he would have her new
ly registered when he returned, which
he fully Intended. So no alterations
were made In the certificate here, and,
I believe, her tonnage is still carved up
somewhere inside her."
This was true enough. The figures
on the certificate, 29.&G, wore those I
had seen on the beam in the forecast!".
"My husband never livid to reach
England, an'J when she came baci to
F ,' though she was visited, of course,
by the custom house officer jind coast
guard, 'nobody asked for certificate,
and so the alterations in her were never
explained. " She .was laid up at once In
the F river, and there she has re
mained." Certain structural peculiarities in the
main cabin scarcely noted at the time,
but now remembered served to con
firm Mrs. Carhngford's plainly-told
story. On my return to London that
night I hunted up some back volumes
of Hunt, and satisfied myself on the
matter of the Wasp and her - owner,
William Carlingford. And, to be short,

the transfer was made on a fresh sur
vey, the check sent to Mis. Carling
ford, and the yawl Siren passed into,
my hands.
All being settled, I wrote to my old
acquaintance, Mr. Dewy, asking him to
fit the vessel out, and find me a steady
skipper and crew not without some
apprehensions of hearing by return of
post that Dewy nnd Moss were ready
and willing to sign articles with me to
steer and sail the yacht In their spare
moments. Perhaps the idea did not oc
cur to them. At 'any rate they found
me a crew, and a good one; and I spent
a very comfortable three months cruis
ing along the southwestern coast,
across to Scllly, from Seilly to Cork
and back to Southampton, where on
Sept. L'9, INil, I laid the yacht up for
the winter.
Thrice since have I applied to Messrs.
Dewy and Mosa for a crew, and uUvays
with satisfactory results. But I must
pass over 1892 and 1S!3 and como to this
summer; or, to be precise, to Wednes
day, the 11th of July. We had left Ply
mouth that morning for a run west
ward; but the wind falling light
toward noon, we found ourselves drift
ing, or doing little more, off the en-
erance of the small fishing haven of
Penleven. Though I had never visited
Penleven I knew on the evidence of
countless picture-shows that the place
was well worth seeing. Besides, had I
not the assurances of the visitors' book
In my cabin? It occurred to me that
I would anchor for nn hour or two In
the entrance of the haven, and eat my
lunch ashore at Mr. Job's hotel. Mr.
Job would doubtless be pleased to re
cover his long-lost volume, and I had
no more wish than right to retain it.
Job's hotel was unpretending. Mrs.
Job offered me ham and eg.s and, an
an alternative, a cut off a boiled sliver
side of beef, If I did not mind waiting
for ten minutes or so, when her hus
band would be back to dinner. I said
that I would wait, und added that I
should be pleased to make Mr. Job's
acquaintance on his return, as I had a
trilling message for him.
About ten minutes' later, while study
ing a series of Clerman lithographs in
the coffee room, I heard a heavy foot
step in the passage and a knock at
the door; and Mr. Job appeared, a
giant of a man, with a giant's girth
and red cheeks, which lie appeared to
Inflate s a preliminary of speech.
"Good day, Mr. Job," said I briskly.
"I won't keep you from your dinner,
but the fact is, I am the unwilling
guardian of a trifle belonging to you."
And I showed him the visitors' book.
I thought the man would have had an
apoplectic fit there on the spot. He
rolled his eyes, dropped heavily upon a
chair, and began to breathe hard and
short
"Where where?" he gasped, and
began to struggle for breath
"Listen," I snid; "for some reason
or other the sight of this book dis
tresses you, and 1 think you had better
not try to speak for a bit. I will tell
you exactly how the book came into
my possession, and afterward you can
let me have your side of the story, If
you choose." And I told him just
what I have told the reader.
