We spent the few minutes while the lock was emptied in a farewell talk to Bartels. Karl had hitched their main halyards on to the windlass and was grinding at it in an acharnement of industry, his shock head jerking and his grubby face perspiring.

But Dunham, chill as the Matterhorn, assured the excited little man that the figures were quite correct and that he had checked them twice to make certain. "But but " said Bartels in bewilderment, "we cannot be going backwards like that! We have never gone back like that in January." "Until this year," incautiously rejoined the other. "No; nor this year, neither!" cried Mr.

For there had come to be a kind of sacred formula about it, and if that formula failed to materialize, the world was all awry for Mr. Bartels, until another month put matters right once more. And this, so placidly prosperous had the Guardian been, the succeeding month had seldom failed to do. "Holding our own, Otto?" the President would inquire.
