CHAPTER VIII.
OUR HERO GOES TO THE LONE HOUSE ON THE MARSH—HE MEETS THE DESPERATE-LOOKING MAN AND SOME VERY FINE DIPLOMACY FOLLOWS, ALSO STRANGE AND WEIRD SUGGESTIONS.

"That is the house where you see the glimmer of a light."
"I thought that light was on some vessel in the bay."
"No, it is a cabin, and there is not another dwelling within a mile and a half at least."
"You have been very kind to warn me."
