THE WINTER NIGHT 319 



The doctor here on board has nought to do, boys ; 



Not a man to test his skill among the crew, boys; 



Well may he look blue. 



There's nought for him to do, 



When every man is strong and hearty, too, boys. 



" Now on the Frain," boys, 



He says " I am," boys, 



"Chief editor of newspaper for you !" boys. 



"'Warning! ! ! 



" ' I think it is my duty to warn the public that a 

 travelling watchmaker has been making the round of 

 this neighborhood lately, getting watches to repair, and 

 not returning them to their owners. How long is this 

 to be allowed to go on under the eyes of the authorities } 



" ' The watchmaker s appearance is as follows : Middle 

 height, fair, gray eyes, brown full beard, round shoulders, 

 and generally delicate-looking. 



"'A. JUELL.* 



" ' The person above notified was in our ofifice yester- 

 day, asking for work, and we consider it right to add the 

 following particulars as completing the description. He 

 generally goes about with a pack of mongrel curs at his 

 heels ; he chews tobacco, and of this his beard shows 

 traces. This is all we have to say, as we did not consider 

 ourselves either entitled or called upon to put him under 



the microscope. 



" ' Ed. Framsjaa' 



* This signature proved to be forged, and gave rise to a lawsuit so 

 long and intricate that space does not permit an account of it to be given.
