Ashton rose too, "I suppose yeti wouldn't care to take me over to the hospital with you?" he hazarded.

He was a pirate that a British cruiser once spent a whole: year looking for, tramping up and down the Pacific on the wildest goose chase that' ever a cruiser led." I was rather glad to get the doctor to talking of something besides the murder, soI pushed along an this to- pic. "I suppose he got what was coal- ing to him, at last," r remarked.
