The gale had blown itself out next
day, but it was a bitter morning when
we started upon our journey. We saw
the cold winter sun rise over the dreary
marshes of the Thames and the long,
sullen reaches Of the river, which
shall ever associate with our pursuit
of the Andaman, Islander in the earlier
days OF our career. After a long and
weary journey, we lighted at a small
station some miles from Chatham.
While a horse was being put into a
trap at the local inn, we snatched a
hurried breakfast and so we were all
ready for business when we at last ar
rived at YoXley Old Place. A con-
stable met US at the garden gate.
"WeH, Wilson, any news? ?"
NO, sir-nothing.
NO report of any strangers seen %
mo, sir. Down at the station they
are certain that no stranger either
came or Went yesterday"
Have you had Inquiries made at
inns and lodgings?"
Yes, sir; there is no one that we
cannot account for

to Chatham. Anyone might stay there
or take train without being OBJ

but they were clear to me then"
Yes, yes; some one has passed
along, said Holmes, STOPPING over the
grass border. "Our. lady must have
picked her steps carefully, must she
not, since on the one side she would
| leave track on the path, and on the
other an even clearer one on the soft
bed %
yes. sir, she must have been a
