Before Mark could say a word, the lad was off, and a minute later he returned with a couple of black sailors in white duck shirt and trousers big built, fierce-looking fellows, whose black faces, hands, and feet showed strangely in contact with their snowy clothes. They followed Bob Howlett on deck and to the chair occupied by Mark, stopping at a sign given by the midshipman who led them up.
Grodman's evidence made a very favourable impression on the jury; the prisoner looked his gratitude; and the prosecution felt sorry it had been necessary to call this witness. Inspector HOWLETT and Sergeant RUNNYMEDE had also to repeat their evidence. Dr. ROBINSON, police surgeon, likewise retendered his evidence as to the nature of the wound, and the approximate hour of death.
The morning had been oppressively warm, but along about three in the afternoon a series of short and sharp electrical storms came, and as quickly went, cooling the heated city, and freshening up the air until it was as clear as crystal, and refreshing as a draught of cold spring-water. At the Howlett mansion on Bellevue Avenue all was in readiness for the event.
But at last it was quenched, and I home to dinner, and after dinner carried my wife and set her and her two mayds in Fleete Streete to buy things, and I to White Hall to little purpose, and so to Westminster Hall, and there talked with Mrs. Lane and Howlett, but the match with Hawly I perceive will not take, and so I am resolved wholly to avoid occasion of further ill with her.
"What's it to be, Van," said Bob Howlett, "fun or flam?" "Tell you to-morrow morning," was the reply. "I say, I've fed the chim', and he's asleep." "Wish I was too," said Bob Howlett, "Oh, I say, ain't it hot?" That night the Nautilus was pretty close inshore, as soon as she could approach without being seen.
Margett's' Church, where I heard a young man play the foole upon the doctrine of purgatory. At this church I spied Betty Howlett, who indeed is mighty pretty, and struck me mightily. After church time, standing in the Church yarde, she spied me, so I went to her, her father and mother and husband being with her. They desired and I agreed to go home with Mr.
There was nothing for the men to do, and permission had been given to a party of them, just towards sundown, to take the grains forward and try to harpoon some of the swift fish playing about their bows in the golden water; but instead of going and perching himself somewhere to take part in the sport, Bob Howlett hung about the chair of his brother middy.

Mark opened his eyes after a long, refreshing sleep, for Bob Howlett had contrived to keep the cabin comparatively cool; and as soon as the lads' eyes met, the sick middy's thoughts went back to the last conversation they had held. "Bob," he whispered. That young gentleman held up his hand. "Only a word or two and I'll be quiet." "Yes, you'd better.
Then he looked longingly down into the clear sparkling water through which they were rushing, and thought of how delightful it would be to plunge down and swim. "Right into the jaws of some shark," he muttered, bitterly, and then, "Oh, Bob Howlett, I wish you were here to take your share of the worry."
