"And this is for you, too" and so
saying, Mr.. Irish handed Locke four
ESQ Bank Of England notes. "She en-
closed 'em in my letter for you"
Locke pushed them aside. Il don't
want her money, Irish, L"
you are fool, Locke. She means
1t in good part, and besides she's only
doing the square thing. She skinned
you, and she wants to give you some of
your money back
Locke's face redeemed. He pushed
the money over to Irish. when l
want guinea I'd rather ask you for it,
Irish"
For nearly an hour more the two
men, once enemies, sat and talked.
Locke had bought a chart, and with an
eager light in his eyes, he was show
ing Irish the course he intended to
make after leaving England. Irish
had pointed out to him that it would
never do for him to enter Port Jack
son again; he would be arrested the
moment he dropped his anchor there.
nd Mo @p +oly i,,or
of stores had be given up; and it was
decided to fit the brig out as a whaler
instead. If he could find no trace of
the people he had abandoned on the
island, the brig was to stay out on a
whaling cruise till she was full ship
and then return to England.
At eight o'clock knock came to the
door, and at a sign from Irish, Captain
Locke quietly slipped out into the back
room. Then Irish opened the dooor and
admitted the eX-surgeon of the Reso-
luton.
"Ah, is that you, Mr.. Blackburn,
Come inside; was expecting YOU
well" said the little man, eagerly;
"how did you get on; have you got any
money!"
you just sit down and listen; and
don't interrupt me till I've finished"
Certainly, certainly, Mr.. Irish"
81 went and saw Mrs Morgan that

em both about your coming to see me,
and I got out of em all l wanted to
know about you; Also got some books
and papers of yours from her which will
soon make you see the inside of New
gate once they are made public"
What the devil"
"Sn still, man, or I'll twist your
skinny neck. You are most internal
scroundel, Mr.. Sawbones, a bigger one
than ever Locke was. Now just listen.
Mrs. Morgan and Locke mean to do the
square thing Locke is going out to the
South Seas TO try and find those people
that you, you Internal rascal, helped to
maroon. The whole thing Is going to
be put right and"
"By God, will it? I'll be even with
you if go to Jail myself

ranged all that. Locke and me have
been afore a magistrate, and my lawyer
has fixed the whole affair up. We
thought of you. l told the magistrate
that you would be at my place on Tues
day next, and he is going to have you
arrested. You have got three days to
get away; so if you take my advice
you'll start now"
Curse you for a." the rest OF Mr..
Blackburn's remarks were inaudible,
Mr.. Irish laughed so loudly, and ere he
had ceased the ex-surgeon OF the Reso-
luton was out in the street. This was
the last seen or heard of him.
