"And I appreciate the fact that you are much too wise a man to talk with a fool," laughed the boatbuilder, walking over and throwing the office door open. "Good morning! This will be my busy week." "You'll want me when, it's too late," cried the angry capitalist, striding through the doorway. "You will live to see the day, very soon " What that day was Mr.
The half-curious eyes of many persons followed these three guests, as the boatbuilder, the inventor and the young submarine captain hastily left the room, followed by the marine lieutenant. As soon as the admiral's order had been transmitted to him, the lieutenant in charge of the deck ran to the side gangway, looking for a shore boat.
Just then a policeman approached. Farnum learned that he was stationed here during the naval week. So the boatbuilder gave the officer a hasty description of the fugitive and asked that the steward, in case he returned to the station, and attempted to board a train, be arrested. "I'll certainly nab him," promised the officer.
The rough service of these timbers, however, will not admit of rich ornament, and the boatbuilder usually contents himself with cutting a series of notches in each edge, one series alternating with the other, as represented at 1, Plate IX.
"Now, give us just an idea of how the thing is done, Mr. Farnum," begged one of the correspondents, turning to the boatbuilder. "Ladies and gentlemen," replied the yard's owner, gravely, though he was tempted to laugh over the mystery he was making, "I am certain that you all want to know." "We do," came the chorused answer.
Before the boatbuilder finished with his explanation to the fleet's commander there was a very decided twinkle in Admiral Bentley's sharp old eyes. "I accept your explanation, Mr. Farnum, that it was all a joke," smiled the admiral. "Of course," Jacob Farnum made haste to add, "having perpetrated such a hoax, I shall charge myself with all the expense of painting out the objectionable lettering."
"You don't want our money?" "We won't take it not at the price you set on it," responded Farnum, bluntly. For the first time the capitalist appeared decidedly uneasy. "You don't mean this, Farnum," he answered. "You're excited; perhaps alarmed over something that I have said, or which you thought I intimated." "I mean just what I have said, take my word for it, sir," retorted the boatbuilder.
Henry Greathead a boatbuilder of South Shields erroneously got the credit of this invention. Greathead was a noted improver and builder of lifeboats, and was well and deservedly rewarded for his work; but he was not the inventor. Lionel Lukin alone can claim that honour.
First of all, then, the Doctor hied him to Boatbuilder Jago's: and it was lucky he did so, for the child had developed measles a notifiable complaint. "Any other cases about?" he asked. Mrs Jago did not know of another child sick or sorry in the whole of Polpier. "Which," she went on to argue in an aggrieved tone, "it therefore passes my understandin' why our Josey should be took, poor mite!
He is believed to have taken the last half-million dollars remaining of her fortune away with him into hiding." "A half million dollars!" gasped the admiral. "If this steward is the man we think he is, then his right name is Arthur Miller," finished the boatbuilder. "Why, I remember that case. I read of it in the newspapers," replied Admiral Bentley.
