CHAPTER XXXI TOGETHER ONCE MORE -- CONCLUSION and now that business is finished, an I m most awfully glad on it; yes, I am! It was Job Dowling who spoke. The uncle and guardian of the three Russell boys was sitting by the side window of his home in Buffalo. In his lap lay a small, flat package, which had been wrapped in heavy brown paper and well sealed. In his hand was an open letter which he had just finished reading. It was a dreadful price to pay thet detective, he resumed. But I couldn t git them hairlooms back no other way, and I m afraid the boys would raise the roof ef I didn t git em back. It s a comfort to know thet thief was caught and is going to be tried for even a wuss crime than stealin them rings an the watch an the Australian diamond. I hope they give him about twenty years in prison. He paused to put the package away in his dilapidated secretary. So Ben is coming home this week? I wonder what he ll have to say when he faces me? Somehow, I don t know wot I m going to say myself. And he dropped into his chair again. Job Dowling was a different man from what he had been. The determined stand taken by Larry, Walter, and Ben had opened his eyes to the knowledge that he had no mere children to deal with, but boys who were almost men, and who were fully capable of taking care of themselves. His visit to New York, when he was robbed of the Russell heirlooms, had caused him considerable loss of selfconfidence, and the trip to Boston after the thief had awakened him to the fact that, after all, he was of but little importance in this world. His efforts to help the police recover the heirlooms had been laughed at, and even the detective had shown him plainly that he was hindering more than he was helping. Finally he.

One afternoon I ran across the deck in my bare feet, for I was taking a swim, and as true as I live I blistered my feet. Oh, that s nothing, returned Caleb, dryly. I was under the equator once, off the coast of Columbia in the bark Sally D. The captain let us go fishing in the jolly-boat. We caught about a dozen fish and threw em in the bottom as fast as they came in, and when we got back to the bark hang me if the first two fish we had brought up weren t baked as nice as you please, all fit for the captain s table. And Caleb turned away and began to whistle softly to himself, while Si continued his ablutions without another word. Among old sailors, matching yarns is a constant pastime, and the stories sometimes told would shame even a Baron Munchausen. The watch on board of the warship was now more strict than ever, and the men slept at their guns, sometimes not seeing a hammock for several nights. Everybody, from the captain down to the apprentices, felt that a crisis could not be far off. It must not be imagined that while Commodore Schley was skirting the southern coast of Cuba, the northern coast was neglected, for such was not the case. The blockade of Havana and vicinity still continued, and in addition Rear-Admiral Sampson took his own flagship, the New York, and several other warships, and sailed eastward, thinking to occupy the St. Nicholas Channel. Thus, if Admiral Cervera tried to gain the vicinity of Havana by the northern coast, he would be likely to fall in with Sampson; if he took the southern way, Schley would intercept his path. By keeping his ships in the St. Nicholas Channel Sampson remained ever ready to dash northward should the Spanish destroyers take a new course and show themselves along our own coast. We are coming in sight of land, cried Walter, toward nightfall, two days after leaving Key West. I suppose this is some port on the.
