successful in causing themselves to be
transhipped, bag and baggage, to the
twinscrew steamship Poonah, which
vessel rode at anchor in midstream.

hot forenoon that followed, O'Rourke.

Poonah's promenade deck, stood fin

boatload of passengers from the east

Slowly the tender forged toward the
steamers side; and as it drew near.
O'Rourke forgot to smoke and bent
over the rail to inspect with unremit-

The forward deck of the tender held

O'Rourke could not have said thai
he had ever seen the man before; YET
there was this and that about him
which struck a spark of "Reminiscences

through his mind which he put aside
