CHAPTER XIX CROAKER BRINGS A GIFT It has been said that Old Harbour House stood. The house takes its place as a beauty of the past. On Christmas Eve 1832, fire reduced it to a few blackened walls.

At the same time he noted, with a start, that the men in the skiff were the mysterious drillers, Tom and Jack. Maurice glanced fearfully over his shoulder. "Hush, Bill. If your Ma happens to come back here it'll go bad with me." Apparently the boy did not hear the first question. "Mr. Ringold," he whispered, "I waited here to see you.
