CHATTER II.

The village of Saltwater, where Captain Wenlock posted his letters, may be said to form the apex of an irregular triangle of which the railway stations of Barrow ohff and Thorndale formed the respec- tive points of the base. It was rather more than four miles from Saltwater to Thorudale, and rather more than Eve miles from the same place to Barrowcllff Both the stations were on one of the trunk lines from south to north, and vice- versa BArrowclif was a manufacturing town of some preten sions, whereas Thorn. dale was nothing but pretty hamlet but it was hamlet round which were clustered the man ,ions of several county msgnates, and for that reason if for no other, a considerable number of trains, both up and down, were timed to call at the little station.
