" " " The <strong>Lure</strong> o 9 <strong>Gold</strong> "while I was tossing on the bosom of the deep and wholly unable to sleep." He rhymes nat ral, don t he ? said Somers, with evident pride in his friend s "Jest poesy. as nat ral." Trust read the verses again. At the conclusion of the reading Max Fishley shook his head. "I don t like them sad pieces," he said. "You oughter make it " There you are," end different." said the poet. the other weeps. That s the way One laughs and of it. You never can tell how poetry will affect people." I did not stay long in the steerage, but bustled away to tell the Doctor what I had learned. I was disap pointed when I heard him say: "Oh, you can t tell anything about that. They rig up their baggage all kinds of ways.

The Captain could order it done, couldn t he ? "Yes, if there was any charge against the men, I think he might, though I m not certain. We ought to be a little surer of what we are doing. I m afraid you re letting your suspicions run away with you." But if we search the trunk we might get the proof," I insisted. Nothing could be better proof than find ing the gold there." The Doctor smiled. "Of course, said he. "Nothing could be better proof. But I m sure the Captain would rather wait until we get to San Francisco. Then the search could be made officially and by the proper authorities. Still, [107]
