Fearful of having his last remark contradicted for he had an instinctive desire that it should lie undisturbed where he had cast it in the field of Ericson's mind, he hurried to another question.

Shargar had met him at the coach. Robert had scarcely a word to say to him. And Shargar felt as dreary as Robert when he saw him sit down, and lay his head on the table without a word. 'What's the maitter wi' ye, Robert? he faltered out at last. 'Gin ye dinna speyk to me, I'll cut my throat. I will, faith! 'Haud yer tongue wi' yer nonsense, Shargar. Mr. Ericson's deein'.

These relics here of Ericson's, and those that the other lads have gotten, are just such things as would be buried in a viking's grave. The human skull in their midst puts the matter beyond a doubt."

Then he heard a voice Ericson's voice; but oh, how changed! He had no idea that he ought not to listen. 'Mary, the voice said, 'do not look like that. I am not suffering. It is only my body.

These were Kinlay's wife and their boy Tom, a Danish seaman, and a gentleman passenger.
Venturing more than he had ever yet ventured, Robert rose and went to the cupboard where Ericson's papers lay. His friend did not check him. On the contrary, he took the papers from his hand, and searched for the poem indicated. 'I'm not in the way of doing this sort of thing, Robert, he said. 'I know that, answered Robert.

"In Stromness we all notice the wind, and father has taught me to know all the signs of the weather." "Then your father is a fisherman, I suppose?" he remarked, as he turned to walk down the brae with me. "Father's a pilot," I said. "I'm Sandy Ericson's lad." "Ericson! Ah! I know Ericson.
