We boarded her, sad at heart that a craft so lovely should come to a pass like this; and 'twas at once plain to us sailor-men that 'twas a case of ugly abandonment, if not of barratry plain, indeed, to such as knew the man, that in conspiracy with the skipper Jagger had caused the wreck of the schooner, counting upon the isolation of the place, the lateness of the season, the simplicity of the folk, the awe in which they held him upon all this to conceal the crime: as often happens on our far-off coast.
They says the devil was abroad the night of his bornin'; but I'm thinkin' that Jagger o' Wayfarer's Tickle had more t' do with the life he lived than ever the devil could manage. 'Twas Jagger that owned the Sink or Swim; 'twas he that laid the courses ay, that laid this last one, too.
I knows that she'll go t' pieces in the winter gales. I knows " The doctor lifted his hand. He was broadly smiling. "You have told me," said he, "quite enough. Go back to Wayfarer's Tickle. Leave me," he added, "to see that Jagger learns the worthy trade of broom-making. You have done me great service." "Ah, but," cried Jonas, gripping the doctor's hand, "you cured my little Sammy!"
He laughed, but unclasped his hands and let me slip from his knee; and then I began to strut the floor, my chest puffed out to twice its natural extent. "By heaven!" I began.

I do hereby make a voluntary statement, with my own free will, and without any inducement whatever.... Thomas Jagger offered me, if I would put the 'Jessie Dodd' ashore, he would give me half the profits realized on ship and cargo.
"But do you tell your father," he went on, "that Jagger's not sick." "Not sick?" cried Timmie, under his breath. "Tell your father that I heared Jagger say he'd prove the doctor a coward or drown him." Timmie laughed.
The twins heartily grinned. When the doctor was told of the tragic end of Jagger of Wayfarer's Tickle, he shuddered, and sighed, and said that Jagger had planned a noble death for him: but said no more; nor has he since spoken the name of that bad man. And we sent the master of the Jessie Dodd to St. And when, frankly, I asked him why this was "Love, Davy," he answered. "Love?" said I.
Believe me, sir, they was no rush for'ard with Tommy Mib below. "'Skipper Jim, says I, one day, 'what is you goin' t' do? "'Well, Docks, says he, 'I'm thinkin' I'll go see Jagger. "So we beat up t' Wayfarer's Tickle makin' port in the dusk. Skipper Jim went ashore, but took nar a one of us with un.
But God help Jagger on the mornin' o' the Judgment Day! I'll be waitin' at the foot o' the throne o' God t' charge un with the death o' my wee kid!" Doctor Luke sat there frowning.
