CHAPTER XIV. AT PORT STOWEfumbling.When he had been sitting for the best part of an hour,however, an elderly mariner, carrying a newspaper, cameout of the inn and sat down beside him. "Pleasant day,"said the mariner.Mr. Marvel glanced about him with something verylike terror. "Very," he said."Just seasonable weather for the time of year," said themariner, taking no denial."Quite," said Mr. Marvel.The mariner produced a toothpick, and (saving his regard)was engrossed thereby for some minutes.

"What will they be writingnext?" he asked faintly. "Ostria, or America?""Neither," said the mariner. "Here.""Lord!" said Mr. Marvel, starting.115

mariner.
"I believe you," said Mr. Marvel.
"And some extra-ordinary things out of ’em," said the
mariner.
"True likewise," said Mr. Marvel. He eyed his interlocutor,

"There’s some extra-ordinary things in newspapers, for

"There’s a story," said the mariner, fixing Mr. Marvel
