"The world has a foolish old saying: 'The good die young. That's all wrong, Stanley. It isn't true. The young die good!"

Suddenly a tremor ran through the steamer, as if she too were unable to restrain her feelings. During the fight if we may so call it the engineers had been toiling might and main in the buried depths of their engine-room; the broken parts of the engine had been repaired or refitted, and a throb of life had returned to the machinery.

That afternoon, once more in the depot-wagon, which had been refitted with its fourth wheel, Thankful, on her way to the Wellmouth railway station, passed her "property." The old house, its weather-beaten shingles a cold gray in the half-light of the mist-shrouded, sinking sun, looked lonely and deserted.
