Tins END OF THE ISLANDER.
Our meal was a merry one. Holmes

"Hut the launch? They could not
have taken that to their lodgings."
"Quite so. I argued that the launch

I wondered what I should do myself if I

of one way of doing it I might hand

trifling change in her. She would then

“That seems simple enough.”

Bicde a special study of it. His bright
humor marked the reaction from his
black depression of the preceding days.
Athelney dones proved to be a sociable
ioul in his hoars of relaxation, and
faced his dinner with therair of a bon
rivant. For myself, I felt elated at
the thought that we were nearing the
end of our task

alluded during dinner to the cause
which had brought us together.
When the cloth was cleared Holmes
glanced at his watch and filled up
three glasses with port. "One
bumper,” said he, “to the success of | look od. ^ However, I determined to act
onr little expedition. And now it is
high time we were off. Have you a
pistol. Watson?”
“I have my old service revolver in
my desk.”
“You had best take it, then. It is
well to be prepared. I see the cab is
at the door. I ordered it for half-past
six"
It was a little past seven before we
reached the Westminster wharf and
fdnud our launch awaiting us. Holmes
eyed it critically.
"Is there anything to mark it as a
police boat?”
“Yes—that green la ap at the side."
“Then take it off.”
The small change was made, we
otepped on board, and the ropes were

cast off. Jones, Holmes and I sat in
the stem. There was one man at the
rudder, one to tend the engines, ami
two burly police inspectors forward.
"Where to?" asked Jones.
“To the tower. Tell them to stop
opposite to Jacobson's yard.”
Our craft was evidently a very fast
one. We shot past the long linos of
loaded barges as though they were sta
tionary. Holmes smiled with satisfac
tion as we overhauled a river steam
er and left her behind u^.
“We ought to be able to catch' any
thing on the river," ho said.
“Well, hardly that. Hut there are
not many launches to beat us."
“We shall have to catch the Aurora,
and she has a name for being a clipper.
I will tell you how the land lies, Wat
son. You recollect how annoyed I was
at being balked by so small a thing?"
“Yes.”
“Well, 1 gave my mind a thorough
rest by plunging into a chemical
analysis. One cf our greatest states
men lias said that a change of work Is
the best rest. So It is. When I had
rwceeded in dissolving the hydrocar
bon which I was at work at. I curac
back to our problem of the Sholtos, and
thought the whole matter out again.
My boys had been up the
river and down the river without
result. The launch was not at
any landing stage or wharf, nor had It
returned. Yet it could hardly have
been scuttled to hide their traces—
though that always remained as a pos
sible hypothesis if all else failed. 1
knew that this man Small had a cer
tain degree of low cunning, but I did
not think him capable of anything in
the nature of delicate finesse. That is
usually a product of higher education.
I then reflected that since he had cer
tainly iieen in London some time—ns
we had evidence that he maintained u
continual watch over Pondicherry
lodge—he could ban ly leave at a mo
ment’s notice, but would need some
little time, if it were only a day, to
arrange his affairs. That was the bal
ance of probability, at any rate.”
"It seems to me to be a little weak,”
said I. “It is more probable that ho
had arranged his affairs before ever he
act out upon his expedition.”
“No, I hardly think so. This lair of
his would be too valuable a retreat in
ease'of need for him to give it up until
he was sure that he could do without
it. Hut a second consideration struck
me: Jonathan Small must have felt
that the peculiar appearance of his
companion, however much he may
have top-coated him, would give rise
to gossip, and possibly be associated
’•’ith this Norwood tragedy. He was
quite sharp enough to sec that. They
had started from their headquarters
under cover of darkness, and he
would wish to get back before it was
hroad light. Now, it was past three
o'clock, according to Mrs. Smith, when
they got tho boat. It would be quite
bright, and people would be about in
an hour or so. Therefore, I argued,
they did not go very far. They paid
Smith well to hold his tongue, reserved
his launch for tho final escape, and
hurried to their lodgings with the
treasnre-box. In a couple of nights,
when they had time to see what view
the papers took, and whether there
was any suspicion, they would make
their way under cover of darkness to
some ship at t> rave send or in the
Iv.wtu* where no doubt they had al-
on the idea. 1 started at once in this
harmless seaman's rig and inquired at
all the yards down the river. I drew
blank at fifteen, but at the sixteenth—
Jacobson's—I learned that the Aurora
had been handed over to them two
days ago by a wooden-legged man,
with some trivial directions as to her
rudder. ‘There ain't naught amiss
with her rudder,’ said the foreman.
‘There she lies, with the red streaks.’
At that moment who should come down
but Mordeeat Smith, the missing
owner? lie was rather the worse
for liquor. I should not, of course,
have known him, but he bellowed
out bis name and the name of his
launch. ‘I want her to-night at eight
o’clock,’ said he—'at eight o'clock sharp,
mind, for 1 have two gentlemen who
won’t be kept waiting.’ They had evi
dently paid him well, for he was very
flush of money, chucking shillings
about to the men. 1 followed him some
distance, but he subsided in an ale
house; so I went back to the yard, and,
happening to pick up one of my boys
on the way, I stationed him as a sentry
over the launch, lie is to stand at the
water's edge and wave his handkerchief
to us when they start. We shall be
lying off in the stream, and it will be a
strange thing if wc do not take men,
treasure and all."
“You have planned it al) very neatly,
whether they are the r' mt men or
not,” said Jones; "hut if the affair
were in my hands I should have had
a body of police in Jacobson's yard,
and arrested them when they came
down.”
“Which would have been never. This
man Small is a pretty shrewd fellow,
ilc would send a scout on ahead, and if
anything made him suspicious he
would lie snug for another week.”
“Hut you might have stuck to
Mordecai Smith, and so been led to
their hiding-place,” said I.
“In that case I should have wasted
my day. I think that it is a hundred
to one against Smith knowing where
they live. As long as he has liquor
and good pay, why should he ask ques
tions? They send him messages what
to do. No, 1 thought over every pos
sible course, and this is the best.”
While this conversation had been
proceeding, wc had been shooting the
long scries of bridges which span the
Thames. As wc passed the city the last
rays of the sun were gilding the cross
upon the summit of St. Paul’s. It was
twilight before wc reached the tower.
“That is Jacobson's yard,” said
Holmes, pointing to a bristle of musts
and rigging on the Surrey side.
“Cruise gently up a*d down here under
cover of this string of lighters.” Uo
took a pair of night glasses from his
oocket and gazed some time at the
shore. "I see my sentry at his post,”
he remarked, “but no sign of a hand
kerchief.”
“Suppose we go down stream a short
way and lie in wait for them," said
Jones, eagerly. We were all eager by
this time, even the policemen and stok
ers, who had a very vague idea of what
was going forwanl.
“We have no right to take any
thing for granted,” Holmes answered.
“It is certainly ton to one that they go
down stream, but w <; cannot be certain.
From this point we can see the en
trance to the yard, and they can hardly
see us. It will be a clear night and
plenty of light We must stay where
we are. See how the folk swarm over
yonder in the gaslight.”
"They are coming from work in the
yard.”
"Dirty-looking rascals, but I sup
pose every one bus some little immortal
spark concealed about him. You
would not thiuk it, to look at them.
There is no a priori probability about
it. A strange enigma is man!”
“Some one calls him a soul concealed
in an animal,” I suggested.
“Winwood Ueade is good upon the
subject,” said Holmes. "He remarks
that, while the iudividual man Is an
insoluble puzzle, in the aggregate he
liecomes a mathematical certainty.
Y’ou can. for example, never foretell
what any one man will do, but you can
say with precision what an average
number will be up to. Individuals
vary, but percentages remain constant.
So says the statistician. Hut do 1 see a
handkerchief? Surely there is a white
flutter over yonder.”
“Yes, it is your boy,” I cried. "1 can
sec him plainly."
“And there is the Aurora," exclaimed
Holmes, “and going like the devil!
Full speed ahead, engineer. Make
after that launch with the yellow
light. By heaven, I shall never for
give myself if she proves to have the
heels of us!”
She had slipped unseen through the
yard entrance and passed behind two
or three small craft, so that she had
fairly got her speed up before we saw
her. Now she was flying down the
stream, near In to the shore, going at a
tremendons rate. Jones looked gfavely
at her and shook his head.
“She Is very fast,” he said. “I doubt
If wc shall catch her.”
"Wa must catch her!” cried Holme*.

metallic heart. Her sharp, steep pr-w
cut through the still river water and
tent two rolling waves t~> right and to
le.t of us. With every throb of U:c en
gines we sprang and quivered like a
living thing, tine great yellow lan
tern in our bows threw a long, nicker
ing funnel of light in front ,.f us.
Uight ahead a dark blur upm. tho wa
ter Showed where the Aurora lay, and
the swirl of white foam behind her
spoke of the pace nt which she was go
ing. We flashed pest barges, steamers,
merchant-vessels, in and out, ItehinU
this one and round tho other. Voices
hailed us out of the darsness, but si.ill
the Aurora thundered on. and still we
followed close upon her track.
’Tile it on, men, pile it on!" cried
Holmes, looking down Into the engine-
room, while the fierce glow from l)c-
low beat upon his eager, aquiline
face. “Get every pound of steam you
can."
“I think we gain a little," said Jones,
with his eyes on tho Aurora.
“I am sure of it.” said I. “We shall
be up with her in a very few min
utes.'’
At that moment, however, as our
evil fate would have it, a tug with
three barges in tow blundered In
between us. It was only by putting
our helm hard down that we avoid
ed a collision, and before we could
round them and recover onr way tho

dred yards. She was still, however,
well in view, and the murky uncertain
twilight was settling into a clear star
lit night. Our tioilers were strained
to their utmost, and the frail shell vi
brated and creaked with the fierce en
ergy which was driving us along. We
had shot through the pool past tho
West India docks, down the long Dept
ford Beach, and up again after round
ing the Isle of Dogs. The dull blur in
front of us resolved itself now clearly
enough into the dainty Aurora. Jones
turned our searchlight upon her, so
that wc could plainly sec the figures
upon her deck. One man sat by the
stern, with something black between
his knees over which he stooped. Beside
him lay a dark mass which looked like
a Newfoundland dog. The boy held the
tiller, while against the red glare of
the furnace I could see old Smith,
stripped to the waist, and shoveling
coals for dear life. They may have had
some doubt at first as to whether wc
were really pursuing them, but now as
we followed every winding and turn
ing which they took there could no
longer lie any question about it. At
Greenwich wc were about three hundred
paces behind them. At Hlackwali wc
could not have been more than two
hundred and fifty. I have coursed
many creatures in many countries dur
ing my checkered career, but never did
sport give me such a wild thrill as this
mad, flying man hunt down the
Thames. Steadily we drew in upon
them, yard by yard. In the silence
of the night wc could hear the
panting and clanking of their ma
chinery. The man in tho stern still
crouched upon the deck, and his arms
were moving as though he were busy,
while every now and then he would
look up and measure with a glance the
distance which still separated us.
Nearer we came and nearer. Jones
yelled to them to stop. We were not
more than four boats’ lengths behind
them, both boats flying at a tremen
dous pace. It was a clear reach of
the river, with Harking level upon
one side and the melancholy Plum-
stead marshes upon the other. At
our hail the man in the stern sprang
up from the deck and shook his two
clinched fists at us, cursing the while
in a high, cracked voice. lie
was a good-sized, powerful man,
and as he stood poising himself
with legs astride 1 could see that from
the thigh downwards there was but a
wooden stump upon the right side. At
the sound of his strident, angry cries
there was movement in the huddled
bundle upon the deck. It straightened
itself into a little black man—the
smallest I have ever seen—with a great,
misshapen head and a shock of tangled,
disheveled hair. Holmes had already
drawn his revolver, and I whipped out
mine at the sight of this savage, dis
torted creature. He was wrapped in
some sort of dark ulster or blanket,
which left only his face exposed; but
HR SHOOK

that face was enough to give a man a
sleepless night. Never have I seen
features so deeply marked with all bes
tiality and cruelty. His small eyes
glowed and burned with a somber light,
and his thick lips were writhed back
from his teeth, which grinned and chat
tered at us with a half animal fury.
"Fire if he raises his hand,” said
Holmes, quietly. (> e were wit am a
boot’s length by this time, and almost
j within touch of our quarry. I cau see
I the two of them now at; they stood, the
j white man with his lags for apart,
shrieking out curses, and the unhal-
lowed dwarf, with his hideous face, and
1 hi:, strong yellow toeth pnathing at us
j in the light of our lantern.
It was well that we had so clear a
j view of him. liven as we looked he
| plucked out from under his covering a
1 short, round piece of wood, like a
school ruler, and clapped it to his
lips. Our pistols rang out together.
I lie whirled round, threw up his
j amis, and wi h a kind of chok-
' ing cough fell sideways Into the
stream. I caught one glimpse of his
venomous, menacing eyes undd the
white swirl of the waters. At the
same moment the wooden-logged man
threw himself upon the rudder and put
I it hard down, so that his boat made
straight in for the southern bank,
! while we shot pant her stem, only
; clearing her by a few feet. We were
j round after her in an Instant, but she
: was already nearly nt tho liank. It
! was a wild end desolate place, where
the moon glimmered up u n wide ex
panse of marsh land, with pxils of
stagnant water and licds of decaying
vegetation. The launch, with a dull
thud, ran up on the mud bank, with
her bow in the air and her stern flush
with the water. Tho fugitive sprang
out, but bis stump instantly sank its
whole length into the sodden soil. In
vain ho struggled and writhed. Not
one step could he possibly take
either forwards or backwards. He
yelled in impotent rage, and kicked
frantically into the mud with his other
foot, but bis struggles only bored his
wooiien pin the deeper into the sticky
bank. When wo brought our launch
alongside he was so firmly anchored
that it was only by throwing the end
of a rope over his shoulders that we
wore able to haul him out. and to dreg
him, like some evil fish, over our side.
The two Smith 1 ;, father and son. sat
sullenly in their launch, but came
aboard meekly enough when com
manded. The Aurora herself we
hauled off and made fast to our stern.
A solid iron chest cf Indian workman
ship stood upon the deck. This, there
could be no question, was the same
tbat had contained the ill-omened
trc:i ure of the Sholtos. There was no
I.c;\ but it was of considerable weight,
so we transferred it carefully to onr
own little cabin. As we steamed
slowly upstream again, we flashed our
search-light in every direction, but
there was no sign of the islander.
Somewhere in the dark ooze at the
bo*' >i.i > r' i' Thames lie the bones of
tha visitor to our shores.
“Sec here,” said Holmes, pointing to
the wooden hatchway. “We were
hardly quick enough with our pistols.”
There, sure enough, just behind
where we had been standing, stuck
one of those murderous darts which wo
knew so well. It must have whizzed
between us at the instant that wc
fired. Holmes smiled at it, and
shrugged liis shoulders in his easy
fashion, but I confess that it turned
me sick to think cl the horrible death
which had passed so close to us that
uight.
