CHAPTER v.
What Happened In the Hut.

-JHERE were very few people stand
ing in the bar room into which
Lindsay turned. and none of them
gave him a second glance. To
them he looked an ordinary seaman who
was a little down on his luck, and IL
they wondered why he held his coat
somewhat tightly pressed to his body,
they soon explained their wonder by
the surmise that the man wore no shirt
beneath it, and was ashamed of his
poverty
As for Lindsay, he paid no heed to
the folk standing at his side. He gave
a sharp glance at the clock, which
licked solemnly above the bright array
of glasses and bottles, and noticed that
its hands pointed to half past 10.
1t was not yet twelve hours since he
had first caught sight OF the brass
bound box lying in the dealers window,
hut much had happened during that
time, and now the box lay under his
arm carefully hidden beneath the old
coat-and that reminded him he must
rid himself of II.
The box was a link between him and
certain events of which he had no wish
done with. and II must be destroyed.
He must get rid of 1t at once,
These thoughts fitted ghost-like
through Lindsay's brain as the barman
drew the pint of ale which the seaman
had ordered. As 1t was set down before
him In a pewter measure Lindsay be-
came unconscious OF terrible thirst
He lifted the mug and poured half its
contents down his throat at one gulp.
He wondered how he had found words
wherein to ask for the ale-sO dry ana
parched did. his tongue and mouth seem
To him.
He finished the ale and felt better
