The friend declined to m ar, but James did not quarrel with him. His last voyage was made as an amateur. Our winter drove him to the West Indies, again, where he gave out confidentially— that his rcienur tbr leaving England wore very sad broken-off engagement with a young and 'Paean' creature, and some trouble in money matters. He had lost document , , jewels, and family records, on board n vessel which had foundered et sea. Ile was unhappy and he wanted solace."

On Black John's return to the room, he found his master worse, but nothing could elicit his permission to send for the medical friend who had ken in attendance on him preciously. for bronchitis.
