"Two Great Danes and a 'bull-dog' should be protection enough for any man," he would laugh to Landon, the light-house keeper, when the latter shook his head doubtfully over Hinter's foolhardiness in riding this lone night trail. And Landon, whose asthma made talking difficult for him, would say no more, realizing that it was useless. "I saw the yacht leave the pier," said Billy. "She sure was a dandy, wasn't she?" "No, er the buried money," sighed Cobin. "I reported her as soon as I saw her, sir.".
