When he landed at the village of Kingswear, opposite to Dartmouth, the fishermen saluted him with a discharge of all the firearms they could collect. His parents received him at the landing-place, his mother embracing him with every outward and public mark of affection.
'I've a-done it, she says to me, 'Mums-I've a-done it, an' she laughed like a mad thing; and then, sir, she cried, an' kissed me, an' pusshed me thru the door. Gude Lard! What is 't she's a-done...?" It rained all the next day and the day after. About five o'clock yesterday the rain ceased; I started off to Kingswear on Hopgood's nag to see Dan Treffry.
John Ford reads them fiercely, as though he were on the eve of a revolt against his God. Morning and evening he visits her, comes out wheezing heavily, and goes to his own room; I believe, to pray. Since this morning I haven't dared meet him. He is a strong old man but this will break him up.... "KINGSWEAR, Saturday, 13th August. .... It's over I leave here to-morrow, and go abroad.
He speculated on Bendigo Redmayne. "A brother is a brother," he thought, "and no doubt this old sailor's home would offer a very efficient hiding-place for any vanished man." A motor boat lay off Kingswear Ferry when Mark Brendon arrived.
I asked him for my own clothes; but he told me sharply to be thankful for what I had, since I'd done no work to earn them; by work he meant the brainless manual work done by people like himself.

The motor boat from 'Crow's Nest' will be at Kingswear Ferry to meet the train reaching there at two o'clock to-morrow and I hope you may still be at Paignton and able to come here for a few hours." She added a word of thanks to him and a regret that his holiday was being spoiled by her tragedy.
On Sundays, two miles to church twice, or you get into John Ford's black books.... Dan Treffry himself is staying at Kingswear. He says he's made his pile; it suits him down here like a sleep after years of being too wide-awake; he had a rough time in New Zealand, until that mine made his fortune.
Dan is lying on my bed. I'll try and tell you his story as near as I can, in his own words. "We rode," he said, "round the upper way, keeping out of the lanes, and got to Kingswear by half-past eleven. The horse-ferry had stopped running, and we had a job to find any one to put us over.
"MOOR, 20th July. .... It is quiet here, sleepy, rather a farm is never quiet; the sea, too, is only a quarter of a mile away, and when it's windy, the sound of it travels up the combe; for distraction, you must go four miles to Brixham or five to Kingswear, and you won't find much then.
