This was adding insult to injury, and
I think expressed my sense of the fact

with them up to hotel, which think
now must have been Hanlan's. There
was an untuned piano there, and one of
the fellows pounded thereon, while
others sang. I was darkly plotting all
the while. Meanwhile the four seemed
determined to drink all there was in
the hotel and I wouldn't be sure but
they succeeded. They started out
boisterous and booty and we were soon
in the boat again.

a mile, and then came around. Like
an arrow the boat sped towards the
doomed man. The helmsman kept his
eye fixed on him alone, and consequent
