She was horrified to realise that during these days she had entirely forgotten him. He, of course could not write to her because he did not know her address. When she saw that Martin was quietly sleeping she sat down and wrote the following letter: 13A LYNTON STREET, KING'S CROSS, April 28th, 1912. MY DEAR PAUL, I have been very wrong indeed not to write to you before this.
She felt different from them all; she found an omnibus that was going to King's Cross, but when she was inside it and looked at the people around her she felt of them all that they had no reality beside the intensity of her own search. She, hot like a fiery coal, existed in a land of filmy ghosts. She repeated to herself over and over, "No. 13A Lynton Street, King's Cross."
"To make it short, gentlemen," said the captain, "Dick Dellow here went on deck about one to cast off and go downstream in the moonlight, and sent the boy to rouse me up; and when I come on deck Dick says: `Jem Lynton don't show his nose yet. I didn't say anything then, for I was too busy thinking, being a bit sour and gruff about Jem, and with having to get up in the middle of the night; and then I was too busy over getting off with a bit o' sail on just for steering.
They examined the hook, and even though it was made of soft iron the strength exerted to straighten it out as had been done must have been enormous. "Well, anyhow, our fish has gone," said Lynton ruefully. "And if we're not going to have any better luck than this," said Brace, laughing, "the cook will not have much use for his frying-pan.
"Hullo! what have you found?" cried Briscoe, who came next to Lynton. "Water? Why, they must have dug out a great cistern or reservoir in here, and let in a spring from somewhere above." "I say, do mind how you go," cried Lynton excitedly. "It's getting dark there, and you may slip down into some awful well-like hole." "All right," said Brace confidently.
The headland is a bold block of white limestone stained with red. It has the pitch of Exmoor stooping to the sea near Lynton. To north, as one looks along the coast, the line is broken by Porto Fino's amethystine promontory; and in the vaporous distance we could trace the Riviera mountains, shadowy and blue.
On Munday ye seconde of Maye, one Keitley, a blackesmythe, dwellinge in Lynton in Cambridgeshire, had a poore man to his father whom he kepte. A gentleman of ye same Towne sent a horse to shoe, the father held up the horses legge whilest his soonne did shoe him. The horse struggled & stroke the father on ye belly with his foote & overthrewe him.
"How long is that line?" said Brace, in astonishment. "One hundred yards, gentlemen," said Lynton loudly. "Shall I have it wound up again?" "Yes," said Sir Humphrey. "We must try and find bottom some other time. The river must be of a terrific depth." "That's so," said Briscoe.
"I hung it up in the American gent's room the one you had, sir and the last I remember is seeing him sitting opposite to me across the table; and now look there. See him?" "No," said Brace; "I can see no him. What do you mean?" "The American," whispered Lynton, catching the young man by the arm. "There, can't you see him sitting in the dark yonder?" "No," said Brace quietly.
Gravelly sandy shallow in a great river which runs down from the mountains." "Oh, you won't find any gold here," said Lynton, smiling. "I don't know," said Sir Humphrey. "Try; the place looks very likely."
