[Copyrighted by Houghton, Mifflin ft Co., and published by arrangement with tbem.l CHAPTER L It had rainctl so persistently in San Francisco during the first we*./ of Janu¬ ary, 1854, that a certain qih. ymire in the roadway of Long Wharf had become im¬ passable, and a plank was thrown over Its dangerous depth. Indeed, so treacherous was the spot that it was alleged, on good authority, that a hastily embarking trav¬ eler had once hopelessly lost his portman¬ teau, and was fain to dispose of his entire interest in it for the sum of $2.50 to a spec¬ ulative stranger on the wharf. As the stranger’s search was rewarded afterwards only by the discovery of the body of a casual Chinaman, who had evidently en¬ deavored wickedly to anticipate him, a feeling of commercial insecurity was added to the other eccentricities of the locality. The plank led to the door of a building that was a marvel even in the chaotic frontier architecture of the street. The houses on either side—irregular frames of wood or corrugated Iron—bore evidence of having been quickly thrown together, to meet the requirements of the goods and passengers who were once disembarked on what was the muddy beach of the infant city. But the building in question ex¬ hibited a certain elaboration of form and design utterly inconsistent with this idea. The structure obtruded a bowed front to the street, with a curving line of small windows, surmounted by elaborate carv¬ ings and scroll work of vines and leaves, while below, in faded gilt letters, appeared the legend “Pontiac—Marseilles." The ‘■the snip.” effect of this incongruity was startling. It is related that an inebriated minor, im¬ peded by mud and drink before its door, was found gazing at its remarkable facade with an expression of the deepest despon¬ dency. “I hev lived a free life, pardner,” he explained thickly to the Samaritan who succored him, “and every time since I’ve been on this six weeks’ jamboree might have kalkilated it would come to this. Snakes I’ve seen afore now, and rats I’m not unfamiliar with, but when it comes to the stara of a ship risin’ up out of the street, I reckon it’s time to pass in my checks." “It is a ship, you blasted old soaker,” said the Samaritan curtly. It was indeed a ship. A ship run ashore and abandoned on the beach years before by her gold seeking crew, with the debris of her scattered stores and cargo, overtaken by the wild growth of the strange city and the reclamation of the muddy flat, wherein she lay hopelessly imbedded; her retreat cut off by wharves and quays and breakwater, jostled at first by sheds, and then impacted in a block of solid warehouses and dwellings, her rudder, port and counter boarded in, and now gazing hopelessly through her cabin windows upon the busy street l>e- fore her. But still a ship despite her transformation. The faintest line of con¬ tour yet left visible spoke of the buoy¬ ancy of another element; the balustrade of her roof was unmistakably a taffrail. The rain slipped from her swelling sides with a certain lingering touch of the sea; the soil around her was still treacherous with its suggestions, and even the wind whistled nautieally over her chimney. If, in the fury of some southwesterly gale, she had one night slipped her strange moorings and left a shining track through the lower town to the distant sea, no one would have been surprised. Least of all, perhaps, her present owner and possessor, Mr. Abnei - Nott. For, by the irony of circumstances, Mr. Nott was a tar western farmer, who had never seen a ship before, nor a Larger stream of water than a tributary of the Missouri river. In a spirit, half of fascination, half of speculation, he had bought her at the time of her abandonment, and had since mortgaged his i-anch at Petaluma, with his live stock, to defray the expense of filling in the. land where she stood and the improvements of the viein^y. He had transferred his household goods and his only daughter to her cabin, and had divided the space “between decks” and her hold into lodging rooms and lofts for the storage of goods. It could hardly be said that the investment had been profita¬ ble. His tenants vaguely recognized that his occupancy was c sentimental rather than a commercial speculation, and often generously lent themselves to the illusion by not paying their rent. Others treated their own tenancy as a joke—a quaint recreation born of the childlike familiar¬ ity of frontier intercourse. A few had left, carelessly abandoning their unsala¬ ble goods to their landlord with great cheerfulness and a sense of favor. Oc¬ casionally Mr. Abner Nott, in a prac¬ tical relapse, raged against the derelicts, and talked of dispossessing them, or even disnymtling his tenement, but he was easily placated by a compliment to the “dear old ship,” or an effort made by some tenant to idealize his apartment. A photographer who had ingeniously util¬ ized the forecastle for a gallery (accessible from the bows in the next street), paid no further tribute than a portrait of the pretty face of Rosey Nott, The super¬ stitious reverence in which Abner Nott held his monstrous fancy was naturally enhanced by his purely bucolic exaggera¬ tion of its real functions and its native element. - This yerkeel has sailed, and sailed, and sailed,” he would explain with some incongruity of illustration, “in a bee line, makin’ tracks for days runnin’. I reckon more storms and blizzards heJ tackled her thea yon ken shake a stick at She’s stampeded whales afore now, and sloshed round with pirates sod free hooters In and outer the Spanish main and across lots from Marcelleys where she was rared. And yer she sits peaceful like just ex If she’d never been outer a pertater patch, and hadn’t plowed the sea with fo’ssila and stnddin’ sails and them things ca¬ vortin’ round her masts.’ Abner Nott’s enthusiasm was shared by his daughter, but with more imagina¬ tion, and an intelligence stimulated by the scant literature of her father’s emi¬ grant wagon and the few books found on the cabin shelves. But to her the strange shell she inhabited suggested more of the great world than the rude, chaotic civili¬ zation she saw from the cabin windows or met in the persons of her father’s lodgers. Shut up for days in this quaint tenement, she had seen it change from the enchanted playground of her childish fancy to the them re of her active maidenhood, but without losing her ideal romance in it. She had translated Its history in her own way, read its quaint nautical hieroglyphics after her own fashion, and possessed her¬ self of its secrets. She had in fancy made voyages in it to foreign lands, had heard the accents of a softer tongue on its deeks, and on summer nights, from the root of the quarter deck, had seen mel¬ lower constellatibns take the place of the hard metallic glitter of the Californian skies. Sometimes, in her isolation, the long, cylindrical vault she inhabited seemed, like some vast sea shell, to become musical with the murmurings of the dis¬ tant sea. So completely had it taken the place of the usual instincts of feminine youth that she had forgotten she was pretty, or that her dresses were old in fashion and scant in quantity. After the first surprise of admiration her father’s lodgers ceased to follow the abstracted nymph except with their eyes—partly re¬ specting her spiritual shyness, partly re specting the jealous supervision of the paternal Nott She seldom penetrated the crowded center of the growing city; heT rare excursions were confined to the old ranch at Petaluma, whence she brought flowers and plants, and even extemporized a hanging garden on the quarter deck It was still raining, and the wind, which had increased to a gale, was dashing the drops against the slanting cabin windows with a sound like spray when Mr. Abner Nott sat before a table seriously engaged with his accounts. For it was “steamer night"—ns that momentous day of reck¬ oning before the sailing of the regular mail steamer was briefly known to com¬ mercial San Francisco—and Mr. Nott was subject, at -such times to severely practical relapses. A swinging light seemed to bring into greater relief that peculiar encased casket like security of the low timbered, tightly fitting apartment, with its toylike utilities of space, and made the pretty oval face of Rosey Nott appear a characteristic ornament. The sibling door of the cabin communicated with the main deck, now roofed in and partitioned off so as to form a small pass ago that led to the open starboard gang way, where a narrow, inclosed staircase built on the ship's side took the place oi the ship’s ladder under her counter, and opened in the street. A dash of rain against the window caused Rosey to lift her eyes from her book. “It’s much nicer here than at the ranch, father,” she said coaxingly, “even leaving alone it’s being a beautiful ship instead of a shanty; the wind don’t whistle through the cracks and blow out the candle when you’re reading, nor the rain spoil your things hung up against the wall. And you look more like a gentleman sitting in his own—ship—you know, looking over his bills and getting ready to give his or¬ ders.” Vague and general as Miss Rosey"s com¬ pliment was, it had its full effect upon her father, who was at times dimly con¬ scious of his hopele sticity anil Its in¬ congruity with his -mndings. “Yes,” he said awkwardl. with a relaxation of his aggressive attitude; “yes, in course it’s more bang up style, but it don’t pay —Rosey—it don’t pay. Yer’s the Pontiac that oughter be bringin’ in, ez rents go, at least $300 a month, don’t make her taxes. I bin thinkin’seriously of sellin’ her.” As Rosey knew her father had experi¬ enced this serious contemplation on the first of every month for the last two years, and cheerfullyignored.it the next day, she only said, “I’m sure the vacant rooms and lofts are all rented, father.” “That’s it," returned Mr. Nott thought¬ fully, plucking at his bushy whiskers with his fingers and thumb as if he were re¬ moving dead and sapless incumbrances in their growth, “that’s just what it is— them ’8 ez in it themselves don’t pay, and them ez haz left their goods—the goods don’t pay. The feller ez stored them iron sugar kettles in the forehold, after trying to get me to niake another advance on ’em, sez he believes he’ll have to sacrifice ’em to me after all, and only begs I’d give him a chance of buying back the half of ’em ten years from now, at double what I advanced him. The chap that left them five hundred cases of hair dye ’tween decks and then skipped out to Sacramento, met me the other day in the street and ad¬ vised me to use a bottle ez an advertise¬ ment, or try it on the starn of the Pontiac for fire proof paint. That foolishness ez all he’s good for. And yet tbar might l>e Buthin’ in the paint, if a feller had nigger lack. There’s that New York chap ez bought up them damaged boxes of plug terbaker for $50 a thousand, and sold ’em for foundations for that new building in Sansome street at a thousand clear profit. It’s all luck, Rosey.” The girl’s eyes had wandered again to the pages of her book. Perhaps she was already familiar with the text of her father's monologue. But recognizing an additional querulousness in his voice, she laid the book asiJe and patiently folded her hands in her lap. “That’s right—for I’ve suthin’ to tell ye. The fact Is Sleight wants to buy the Pontiac put and out just ez she stands with the two fifty vara lots she stands on.” “Sleight wants to buy her* Sleight*” echoed Rosey incredulously. “You bet! Sleight—the big financier, the smartest man in ’Frisco.” “Wbat does he want to buy her for?” ask yd Rosey, knitting her pretty brows. The apparently simple question sud¬ denly pnzxled Mr. Nott, He glanced feebly at hie daughter’s face, and frowned In vacant Irritation. “That's so," he said, drawing a long breath; “there’s suthin’ in that.” “What did he say’” continued the young girl, impatiently. “Not much. ‘You’ve got the jPnuUae, Nott,* sex he. ‘Yon bet!'sez T ‘What 11 you take for her and the ! ■: stands o®?’ sez he, short and sir me tel¬ lers, Rosey,” said Nott......* a cunning smile, “would hev blurted out a big Ag¬ ger and been cotched. That ain't my style. I just looked at him I'll wait fur yonr Aggers until next Me , v day,' sez be, and off he goes like a He’s awfully sharp, Rosey.” “But if he is sharp, father, and he really wants to buy the ship,” returned Rosey, thoughtfully, “it’s only because he knows it’s valuable property, and not be¬ cause he likes It as we do. He can’t take that value away even if we don’t sell it to hint, and all the while we have t he com¬ fort of the dear old Pontiac, don’t you sec?” ' This exhaustive commercial reasoning was so sympathetic to Mr. Nott s instincts that he accepted it as conclusive. He, however, deemed it wise to still preserve his practical attitude. “But that don’t make it pay by the month, Rosey. Suthin’ must be done. I’m thinking I'll clean out that photographer.” “Not just after he's taken such a pretty view of the cabin front of the Pontiac from the street, father! No! He’s going to give us a copy, and put the other in a shop window in Montgomery street.” “That’s so,” said Mr. Nott, musingly; “it’s no slouch of an advertisement. ‘The Pontiac,’ the property of A. Nott, Esq., of St. Jo, Mo. Send it on to your Aunt Phoebe; sorter make the old folks open their eyes—oh? Well, seein’ he’s been to some expense fittin’ up an entrance from the other street, we’ll let him slide. But as to that d-d old Frenchman Ferrers, in the next loft, with his stuck up airs and high falutin style, we must get quit of liim; he’s regularly gouged me in that ere horsehair spekilation.” “How can you say that, father?” said Rosey, with a slight increase of color. “It was your own offer. You know those bales of curled horsehair were left behind by the late tenant to pay his rent. When Mr. de Ferrieres rented the room after¬ wards, you told him you’d throw them in in the place of repairs and furniture. It was yonr own offer.” “Yes, but I didn’t reckon thcr'd ever tw a big price per pound paid for the darned stuff for sofys and cushions and sieli.” “How do yon know he knew it, father?" responded Rosey. “Then why did lie' look so silly at first, and then put on airs when I joked him about it, eh?” “Perhaps he didn’t understand your . joking, father. He’s a foreigner, and s-liy and proud, and—not like the other-. I don’t think he knew what you meant then, any more than he believed he v. as making a bargain before. He may he poor, but I think he’s been—a—a—gentle¬ man.” The young girl’s animation penetrated even Mr. Nott’s slow comprehension. Her novel opposition, and even the prettiness it enhanced, gave him a dull premonition of pain. His small round eyes became abstracted, his mouth remained partly open, even his fresh color slightly paled. “You seem to have been takin’ stock of this yer man, Rosey,” he said, with a faint attempt at archness; “if he wnrn't ez old ez a crow, for all his young leathers. I'd think he was makin’ up to you.” But the passing glow had faded from her young cheeks, and her eyes wandered again to her book. “He pays his rent regularly every steamer night,” she said, quietly, as if dismissing an exhausted .sub¬ ject, “and he'll be here in a moment, I dare say.” She took up her book, and leaning her head on her hand, once more became absorbed in its pages. An uneasy silence followed. The rain beat against the windows, the ticking of a clock became audible, but still Mr. Nott sat with vacant eyes fixed on his daugh¬ ter’s face, and the constrained smile on his lips, lie was conscious that lie had never seen her look so pretty before, yet lie^could unalloyed not tell satisfaction. why this was no longer an Not but that he had always accepted the admiration of others for her as a matter of course, but for the first time he became conscious that she not only had an Interest in others, but apparently a superior knowledge of them. How did she know these things about this man, and v. h bad rhe only now accident¬ ally spoken of them:- lie would have dona so. All this passed so vaguely through his unrefleetive mind, that, he was unaMa to retain any decided impression, but the far reaching one that his lodger had ob¬ tained some occult influence over her through the exhibition of his baleful skill in the horsehair speculation. “Them tricks is likely to take a young girl’s fancy. I must look artcr her,” he said to himself softly. A slow regular step in the gangway interrupted his paternal reflections. Hastily buttoning across his chest c . ; < a jacket which he usually wore at home as a single concession to his nautical :r- rouudings, he drew himself up with a: no¬ thing of the assumption of a shipnio.-t -r, despite certain bucolic suggestions of his boots and h s. The footsteps approached nearer, and a tall figure suddenly stood in the doorway. It was a figure so extraordinary that even in the strange masquerade of that early civilization it was remarkable; a figure with whom father and >’„• were already familiar without abate -a- ,t of wonder—the figure of a rejuvenated ..hi man, padded, powdered, dyed and panned to the verge of caricature, but without a single suggestion of ludierousucss or humor. A face so artificial that it seemed almost a mask, but, like a mask, more pathetic than amusing. He was dressed in the extreme of fashion of a dozen years before; his pearl gray trousers strapped tightly over his varnished Ix-oto. ids voluminous satin cravat and high collar embraced his rouged cheeks and dyed whiskers, his closely buttoned frock coat clinging to a waist that seemed ,v.< a ted by stays. He advanced two steps into the cabin With an upright precision of motion that might have bid the Infirmities of age, and said deliberately with a foreign accent: s “You-r-r nc-coumpt?” In the actual presence of the apparition Mr. Nott’s dignified resistance wavered. But glancing uneasily at his daughter, and seeing her calm eyes fixed on the speaker without embarrassment, he folded his arms stiffly and, with a lofty simula¬ tion of examining the ceiling, said: “Ahem! Ro*a! The gentleman's ac¬ count.” It was an infelicitous action. For the stranger, who evidently hud not noticed the presence of the young girl before, started, took a step qniekly forward, bent stiffly but profoundly over the little hand that held the account, raised it to his lips, and, with “a thousand pardons, mademoiselle,” laid a small canvas bag containing the rent laeforc the disorganized Mr. Nott and stiffly vanished. That night was a troubled one to tha simple i tin Jed proprietor of the good ship Pontiac. T'liable to voice his uneasiness by further discussion, but feeling that his late discomposing interview with his lodger demanded some marked protest, ho absented himself on the plea of busi¬ ness during the rest of the evening, liap pity to hi* daughter's utter obliviousness of the reason. Lights were burning bril¬ liantly in counting rooms and offices, the feverish lif.- the mercantile city was at its height. With a vague idea of enter¬ ing into immediate negotiations with Mr. Sleight for the sale of the ship—as a di¬ rect way out of Ids present perplexity, he bent his steps toward the financier's office, but paused and turned back before reach ing the door. He made liis way to the wharf and gazed abstractedly at the lights reflected in the dark, tremulous, jelly like water. But wherever he went he was ac¬ companied by the absurd figure of his lodger—a figure he had hitherto laughed at or half pitted, but which now, to his bewildered comprehension, seemed to have a fateful significance. Here a new idea seized him, and he hurried back to the ship, slackening his paco only when he arrived at his own doorway. Here he paused a moment and slowly ascended the staircase. When he reached the pas¬ sage ho coughed slightly and paused again Then he pushed open the door of the darkened cabin and called softly: “Rosey!” “What is it, father?” said Rosey’s voice front the little stateroom on the right— Rosey’s own bower. “Nothing!” said Mr. Nott, with an af¬ fectation of languid calmness; “I only wanted to know if you was comfortable. It’s an awful busy night in town.” “Yes, father.” “1 i tl.ui'» tons o’ gold goin’ to the states to-morrow.” “Yes, father.” “Pretty comfortable, eh?” “Yes, father.” “Well, I’ll browse round a spell, and turn in myself, soon.” “Yes, father.” Mr. Nott took down a hanging lantern, lit it, and passed out into the gangway. Another lamp hung from the companion hatch to light the tenants to the lower deck, whence he descended. This deck was divided fore and aft by a partitioned passage—the toft a or apartments l»eing lighted from the ports, and one or two by a do r cut through the ship's side com¬ municating with an alley on either side. This was the case with the loft occupied by Mr. Nott's strange lodger, which, be¬ sides a door in the passage, had this inde¬ pendent communication with tiie alley. Nott had never known him to make use of the latter door; on the contrary, it was his regular habit to issue from his apart¬ ment at 3 o'clock every afternoon, dressed as lie has been described, stride deliberately through t lie passage to the upper deck and thence into the street, where his strange figure was a feature of the principal promenade for two or three hours, re¬ turning a: regularly at 8 o'clock to the rdiip and the seclusion of his loft. Mr. Nott paused before the door, under the pretense of throwing the light before him into the shadows of the forecastle; all was silent within. He was turning back when lie was impressed by the regular recur¬ rence of a peculiar rustling sound which he had at first referred to the rubbing of the wires of the swinging lantern against his clothing. He set down the light and listened; the sound was evidently on the other side of the partition; the sound of some prolonged, rustling, scraping move¬ ment, with regular intervals. Was it due to another of Mr. Nott’s unprofitable tenants—the rats? No. A bright idea flashed upon*Mr. Nott’s troubled mind. It was de Ferrieres snoring! He smiled grimly. "Wonder if Rosey’d call him a gentler.n u if .-he heard that,” he chuckled to himself as he slowly made hfs way back to the cabin and the small state room opposite to his daughter's. During the re d of the night lie dreamed of being compelled to give Itosey in marriage to his strange lodger, who added insult to the outrage by snoring audibly through the marriage service. >f- .ime, in her cradle like nest in her tia leal hover.
