he plash of a playful muIIet
like the swish from the /
rail OF a fast launch against
Iner. \ lot of young people were
nut in light boats, In the moon

laughter. In some there was
soft, soulful, enthralling music.
In some there was heavy accom-.

music, both vocal and from the
stringed instruments. 1t was

tween the music close to the
bosom of the bay and the mar.

tom of the bay some time. When

letter. 1t contained the remit

hotel keeper and others about.

had become mixed up with a
bundle of opium that had been
dropped in the ocean by the
"black squad OF big steamer.
Perhaps Mr.. A. Jasper Langdon
will apply for the vacant place
OF chief of the secret service.
