The girl at my side gave a quick shiver. Franklin Clarke said: "Hold up，Thora.It's pretty beastly，but it's no use shirking facts." Thora Grey-the name suited her. We went back to the house where the body had been taken after beingphotographed. As we mounted the wide staircase the doctor came out of a room，blackbag in hand.
oil paintings "Anything to tell us，doctor?"inquired Clarke. The doctor shook his head. "Perfectly simple case.I'll keep the technicalities for the inquest. Anyway，he didn't suffer.Death must have been instantaneous." He moved away. "I'll just go in and see Lady Clarke." A hospital nurse came out of a room farther along the corridor and thedoctor joined her. We went into the room out of which the doctor had come. I came out again rather quickly.Thora Grey was still standing at thehead of the stairs.

Half the men forward are deep-water sailors, and their excuse is that they did not know anything about her or her captain. And those who do know whisper that the hunters, while excellent shots, were so notorious for their quarrelsome and rascally proclivities that they could not sign on any decent schooner. ¡¡¡¡I have

made the acquaintance of another one of the crew. Louis he is called, a rotund and jovial-faced Nova Scotia Irishman, and a very sociable fellow, prone to talk as long as he can find a listener. In the afternoon, while the cook was below asleep and I was peeling the everlasting potatoes, Louis dropped into the galley for a 'yarn.' His excuse for being aboard was that he was drunk when he signed. He assured me again and again that it was the last thing in the world he would dream of doing in a sober moment. It seems that he has been seal-hunting regularly each season for a dozen years, and is accounted one of the two or three very best boat-steerers in both fleets.
