When and where did you make his acquaintance ?" "On the steamer--a few hours after we left Christiania," replied Celia.
"Just as fellow-passengers, I suppose ?" "Quite so--just that.

We sat next to each other at meals." "Do you know where his cabin was on the steamer ?" "Yes, exactly opposite my own.

He and I, I believe, were the only passengers who had cabins all to ourselves." "Did he ever mention to you these valuables which Mr.Fullaway tells us he was carrying to England!" "No--never at any time." "Did you see him leave the _Perisco_ for the shore ?" "Why, yes, certainly! As a matter of fact, he and I came ashore at Hull together, ahead of any other passengers.

After Lisette had left the steamer with her brother, I happened to come across Mr.James Allerdyke.
I told him what had just occurred, and asked him if he would help me about my things, as my maid had gone.

He immediately suggested that we shouldn't wait for the tender, but should get a boat of our own--there were several lying around.
