CHAPTER V --THE RESTITUTION
Captain Jorgan, up and out betimes, had put the whole village of Lanrean
under an amicable cross-examination, and was returning to the King
Arthur's Arms to breakfast, none the wiser for his trouble, when he
beheld the young fisherman advancing to meet him, accompanied by a
stranger. A glance at this stranger assured the captain that he could be

had had his fill of hand-shaking, from his birth to that hour, he had it

the captain, until he gradually had Hugh Raybrock's deliverance made
clear to him, and also unravelled the fact that the person referred to in
the half-obliterated paper was Tregarthen himself.
"Formerly, dear Captain Jorgan," said Alfred, "of Lanrean, you recollect?
Kitty and her father came to live at Steepways after Hugh shipped on his
last voyage."
"Ay, ay!" cried the captain, fetching a breath. "Now you have me in
tow. Then your brother here don't know his sister-in-law that is to be
