THE TRAIL OF THE ISHMAELITE.
I went on deck again, and found Clovelly in the smoking-room.

The bookmaker was engaged in telling tales of the turf, alternated with comic songs by Blackburn--an occupation which lasted throughout the voyage, and was associated with electric appeals to the steward to fill the flowing bowl.

Clovelly came with me, and we joined Miss Treherne and her father.

Mr.Treherne introduced me to his daughter, and Clovelly amiably drew the father into a discussion of communism as found in the South Sea Islands.
I do not think my conversation with Miss Treherne was brilliant.
