It was near dark of a January day when we rode at last into the town of Dunkirk. We left our horses at the post, and found a guide to Bazin's Inn, which lay beyond the walls. Night was quite fallen, so that we were the last to leave that fortress, and heard the doors of it close behind us as we passed the bridge.

Thence I had a picture for the first time of what a desolate wilderness that inn stood hidden in; where was no man to be seen, nor any house of man, except just Bazin's and the windmill. Only a little farther on, the sea appeared and two or three ships upon it, pretty as a drawing.

This paper, lately read before the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, London, is a description of the construction and working of a dredger on M. Bazin's system, as used by the author for the past three years in dredging sand and other material in Lowestoft Harbor. The total length of the hull is 60 ft., with 20 ft. beam.

He questioned him, and as the boy had no interest in deceiving, D'Artagnan learned that he exercised, from six o'clock in the morning until nine, the office of chorister, and from nine o'clock till midnight that of a waiter in the tavern. Whilst he was talking to this lad a horse was brought to the door of Bazin's house. It was saddled and bridled. Almost immediately Bazin came downstairs.

"Vive le monsieur le surintendant!" cried, or rather vociferated, from a window on the ground-floor, a voice which he recognized as Bazin's, who at the same time waved a handkerchief with one hand, and held a large candle in the other.

"I have been there, mother," said Friquet, "but I saw things happen of which Master Broussel ought to be warned, and so with Monsieur Bazin's permission you know, mother, Monsieur Bazin, the verger I came to speak to Monsieur Broussel." "And what hast thou to say, boy, to Monsieur Broussel?"

"But it's high time I was clear of these empty bents!" said Alan; and continued his way at top speed, and we still following, to the back-door of Bazin's inn. It chanced that as we entered by the one door we came face to face with James More entering by the other. "Here!" said I to Catriona, "quick! upstairs with you and make your packets; this is no fit scene for you."
