"The initials of his name, W. S., stamped upon it, are half-effaced, yet still sufficiently distinct to tell their story.

I heard that the body of the marine was washed on shore ten days afterwards with the lieutenant's waistcoat round his arm, and a pencil-case, having his initials on it, found safe in the pocket.
