When the fisherman reached the place, he found that the mischievous little creature had written his name there. Ever since that hour, in the almost unbroken solitude of his life, Gilliatt had thought about Dérouchette. Now that he heard of news at the Bravées, the lonely man made his way to Lethierry's house, which was the nest of Dérouchette. The news was soon told. The Durande was lost!

Then he made his way into the garden, like an animal returning to its hole.
He had raised himself to a position of wealth by starting the first steamboat between Guernsey and the coast of Normandy; he called this vessel La Durande; the natives, who prophesied evil of such a frightful invention, called it the Devil's Boat. But the Durande went to and fro without disaster, and Lethierry's gold increased.
