He charged nothing for his map, and but a trifle for his services: so the Reverend doubled it. The little chap received the money with a beaming applause in his eye which plainly said, "This man's an onion!" We had brought no letters of introduction; our names had been misspelled in the passenger-list; nobody knew whether we were honest folk or otherwise.

They had gone some distance before either spoke. "Who is she, Jimmy?" asked Mifflin. Jimmy came out of his thoughts with a start. "What's that?" "Who is she?" "I don't know what you mean." "Yes, you do! The sea air. Who is she?" "I don't know," said Jimmy, simply. "You don't know? Well, what's her name?" "I don't know." "Doesn't the Lusitania still print a passenger-list?" "She does."

He'd have returned, then, to his apartment next to yours; your landlady would have told him that you had sailed for Europe, and he had only to examine this boat's passenger-list to discover your name. So you see there wasn't so much lost, after all." "But, at any rate," I pointed out, "he would still have been in America. He couldn't have caught us. We'd have had a good start of him."

'I've just now sent a boy up to your office with the passenger-list, colonel. 'You haven't got another boy to spare, p'raps, cap'en? said the colonel, in a tone almost amounting to severity. 'I guess there air a dozen if you want 'em, colonel, said the captain. 'One moderate big 'un could convey a dozen champagne, perhaps, observed the colonel, musing, 'to my office.

And a sign of recognition between them why, the thing was absurd! Between them it must be all or nothing; and it couldn't be either. He looked at the passenger-list again. Yes; that was her name: Mrs. Theodore Lacon. It was not a name likely to be duplicated. In all human probability it was she.

But Burke was down on the passenger-list as, and had assumed the role of, a traveling salesman for a mythical novelty- house in Chicago. That evidently was part of the plan they had agreed on between themselves. Kennedy took the cue. As I studied the various groups, I paused suddenly, surprised. There was the party which had sat at the table next to us at the Burridge the night before.

A growing chaos of trunks and smaller baggage on the dock indicated that her passenger-list was heavy. Blake watched the shifting scene with little interest, now and then casting an unseeing eye over the ramparts of cotton bales near by; but although he was outwardly calm, his palms were cold and wet and his mind was working with a panicky swiftness.

He took no trouble to get a passenger-list, and he had the more trouble when he tried at last; the lists seemed to have all vanished, as they have a habit of doing, after the first day; the one that he made interest for with the head steward was a second-hand copy, and had no one he knew in it but the Eltwins. The social solitude, however, was rather favorable to certain other impressions.

If I can restore it to Jane by marriage, well and good; but otherwise I cannot keep it. To-morrow for inquiries. First a file of the TIMES for 18-; the police reports, the coroner's inquests, the passenger-list of the Sydney ship and of the American ship, inquiries at the lodging-house near the wharf then to Edinburgh to inquire at the house in New Street, and consult with MacFarlane and Sinclair.
