"It appears, Commandant, that I have found a mare's nest; always supposing that this tale is a true one. You'll excuse me, ma'am, but service is service." The Commandant had turned to his writing-table, and was holding the letter under the lamplight. "I can go bail for Miss Cara," he answered, but without looking up. "Undoubtedly she comes from Saaron, and is Mrs. Tregarthen's sister.
Consequently, when they came into Tregarthen's little garden, which formed the platform from which the captain had seen Kitty peeping over the wall, the captain brought to, and stood off and on at the gate, while Kitty hurried to hide her tears in her own room, and Alfred spoke with her father, who was working in the garden.
Tregarthen's plan was finally agreed to, and he returned to his men and explained matters. Soon afterwards the managing director appeared coming down the road. "Is all right?" he inquired of Cuttance, who went forward to meet him. "All right, sur." "Go down to the boat then and wait," he said, turning away.
Having satisfied himself of this, he ran back, down the hill and past the school to carry the alarm to the house; and from the quay beside the school he saw Tregarthen's boat crossing to Saaron, and Tregarthen in it with his three children. Sam called to him, and his call brought out the schoolmistress, who no sooner heard the story than she fell to screaming.
"And happy?" he found himself asking. "Happy and unhappy. Happy in her good man, in her children? oh, yes. But unhappy, just now, because they are unhappy and in trouble. There was a gloom upon Eli Tregarthen's face, a look of pain " "Of anger, too, and of wonder mixed with it, I daresay. He has been hit by a blow he does not understand." "But we will help them."

My book was examined, and the entry of five hundred pounds was not there." "How not there," said the captain, "when you made it yourself?" Tregarthen continued: "I was then questioned. Had I made the entry? Certainly I had.
These, with Melia Mundy, the house-girl, whose parents lived on Brefar, made up Farmer Tregarthen's employ, and took their meals at table with the family. The school which Annet, Linnet, and Matthew Henry attended had been built by the Lord Proprietor on Inniscaw shore, to serve the three islands of Inniscaw, Brefar, and Saaron.
Only Saaron, as they passed it, showed no sign of life, no glimmering ray from the windows of Eli Tregarthen's house, dark upon the dark hillside. Mr. Pope called the Commandant's attention to this. "Patience," said the Commandant. "We will land and question him on our way home." "You will admit that it looks suspicious." The Commandant did not answer. "If Leggo's story be true," said Dr.
"And by the blessing of Heaven, my friends, one and all," cried the captain, radiant with joy, "of the Heaven that put it into this Tom Pettifer's head to take so much care of his head against the bright sun, he lined his hat with the original leaf in Tregarthen's writing, and here it is!"
