E333 The story soon gathered :1 collected form. It was known that about nine o'clock on the previous evening a tall young fellow with his hair curling up- on his back had applied at the Lonely Star for a bedroom. and was admitted by Mr. \Vorksop to a share of the great bed in which that worthy lay. 19 got to be known, too, in a wonder- fully short space of time that Mr. WorksOp carried in his breeches' or other pockets. some thirty or forty gnineas and half-guineas, loose, a handful of which he had exhibited with uncommon satisfaction on sever- 31 occasions when overtaken in liquor. It also gOt to be known in an also equally incredible short space of time, thanks to one of the vatermen who had rowed Mr. York ashore from the brig Jane, that the tall young man with the long hair had owned himself: worth only half a guinea, of which he had given four shillings to the boat- men after a tedious dispute, one to the landlady for his bed. and a six-penny bit for liquor. having him with five cuttingsâ€"4111:!» money he had in the world. wording to his own admin- gramme that was full of death, hard weather, miraculous escapes, murder- ous conflicts; but a cool midnight as- sassination was a genuine novelty in its way, and in a very few minutes, thanks to the servingmaid, the pave- meme outside the inn, the passage, the staircase, the tragic bedroom itself, were crowded with hustling men and women, eagerly talking, t hinder ones bawling to those ahead r news, and the whole rickety place threaten- ing to topple down with the weight of so many people. One of the two wenches instantly slipped away to give the news. A wad-blooded murder was no common occurrence in Deal. A Customs’ man found. dead with a slug through his heart, the body of a smuggler wash- ing ashore with a ghastly cutlassâ€" wound upon his head, the corpse of a gagged “bmckadem” at. the {out of the b‘oreland Height. were mere business details, necessary items of a pro- gramme. that was full of death, hard weather, miraculous escapes. mnrdar- said am 010. man in a white nightcap, ad aged trill-shirt. and a pair of plum- by the drawer, by a couple of wenches who had been busy cleaning rooms down-stairs, and by five or six sail- ors, who Came runmng out of the adja- cent. bedrooms on hearing Mrs. Mate's cries.

The first. [to rush upstairs was her husband, was Mr. Worksop gone but his clothes likewise. This was unusual. She step- ped to the bed, and more through habit, perhaps. than with design, she pulled. down the bedclothes, which lay snuneiwhat in a huddle on the Side the boatswain had occupied, and instant- ly uttered a loud squeal of fear and horror. There was a great stain of blood up- on the sheet, with smaller stains round about it, that seemed to be sift- ing out even as she watched them like a newly dropped blob of ink upon blotting-paper, .Mrs. Mate squealed om a second time even more loudly than before, following the outcry by an hysterical shriek of “Murder! mur- der 1" meanwhile noting. with eyes en- larged to twice their circumference by fright, that there was a pool of blood on the floor on the side .where the btn-tswain had lain, with other marks which vanished at; the door. IL was broad sunny daylight outside, but the little window set close under the ceiling admitted but a pitiful light. However, at one glance Mrs. Mane saw that the bed was empâ€" ty. She was prepared to find the boat- swain alone, knowing, as we have seen, that Mr. York meanL to start for his swvetheurt at daybreak; but on glanc- ing a‘rtound she observed that not. only When next morning came. than, ex- actly at the. hour of seven, Mrs. Mate went up the somewhat darksome staircase that led to the chamber in which Mr. York and Mr. Worksop had slept. and knocked at the door. She received. no answer. She was not sur- prised, for Mr. Worksop was a stout sleeper, apart from his trick of going to bed with his skinfull. She knock- ed again. and yet again, accompany- ing her blown by a vigorous kicking; and failing to meive any sort of re- ply, she lifted the latch of the door- understanding. of course. as the land- lady of the house, the trick of open- ing itâ€"and walked in. . The name of the landlady with the apple-red cheeks and array of white chins was Mrs. Mate, and this good woman had received instructions trom Mr. Worksopn the batswain, from the first day on which he had arriv- ed: to call him every morning whilst he slept at her house, at seven o'clock, neither sooner nor later, and to have his breakfast of small-beer, rashers of ham, chase, red herrings, and brown bread ready for him in the little front parlour downstairs punctually by a quarter to eight. Mrs. Mate was at- ways careful to humor such sailors as stayed at her house with money in their pockets. Mr. Worksop had now used the Lonely Star for five days con- tinuously. not to speak of his being: a reguiar customer whenever in those 3 parts; and in those five days he had spknt his money handsomely, begrudg- ing himself nothing, tippling with a quarter-deck rather than a forecastlef taste, and there was good prospect of his remaining in the house until the following W'ednelsday. quite enough." uclainigd Jeremy York. ,fi- - -â€" vaJ DLUWLJ 111 [HCEB days, and Deal’s solitary constable Tim- othy Budd, had not fairly started for to the ancient and beautiful of Minster, until the clock in Deal church showed the "n... u.-- .“v egu, Juuug Luau WILD the long hair, name unknown, who had slept With Mr. Worksop, had murdered that unfortunate boatswain for the sake of the guineas in his pocket; and under cover of the darkness of the night, had stealthily borne the corpse to the timber extension and cast it into the sea. Mr. Jawker started off at a rapid pace, followed by the constable, to make out a warrant for the apprehen- sion of the tall young man, with the long hair, for wilful murder; whilst with creeps or drugs to search for the body in the vicinity of the beach; but though they persevered in their ef- forts till noon, watched by hundreds “v vâ€"v vvv‘ of a hunt amongst the shingle. So many inquiring eyes were sure to dis- cover What was wanted. Stains un- mistakably of blood could be followed at varying intervals from the pave- ment in front of the Lonely Star; then into the middle of Beach street; then an ugly patch, as though the bur- den of the body had proved too heavy, and the bearer had paused to rest; aft- erwards, for a 'hundred paces, no Sign; the!) half a score more of stains, that conducted the explorers to the timber extension that projected a little dis- tance into the sea, and there of course the trail ended.

He was so struck with the appeal of the oppressed bird, that he promptly rescued him. A'similar plan was adopted by some ravens} that wished. to steal food from a dog.
