CHAPTER V— THE RESTITUTION

Captain Jorgan, up and out betimes, had put the whole village of Lanrean under an amicable1 cross-examination, and was returning to the King Arthur’s Arms to breakfast, none the wiser for his trouble, when he beheld2 the young fisherman advancing to meet him, accompanied by a stranger. A glance at this stranger assured the captain that he could be no other than the Seafaring Man; and the captain was about to hail him as a fellow-craftsman, when the two stood still and silent before the captain, and the captain stood still, silent, and wondering before them.
“Why, what’s this?” cried the captain, when at last he broke the silence. “You two are alike. You two are much alike. What’s this?”
Not a word was answered on the other side, until after the sea- faring brother had got hold of the captain’s right hand, and the fisherman brother had got hold of the captain’s left hand; and if ever the captain had had his fill of hand-shaking, from his birth to that hour, he had it then. And presently up and spoke3 the two brothers, one at a time, two at a time, two dozen at a time for the bewilderment into which they plunged4 the captain, until he gradually had Hugh Raybrock’s deliverance made clear to him, and also unravelled5 the fact that the person referred to in the half- obliterated6 paper was Tregarthen himself.
“Formerly, dear Captain Jorgan,” said Alfred, “of Lanrean, you recollect7? Kitty and her father came to live at Steepways after Hugh shipped on his last voyage.”
“Ay, ay!” cried the captain, fetching a breath. “Now you have me in tow. Then your brother here don’t know his sister-in-law that is to be so much as by name?”
“Never saw her; never heard of her!”
“Ay, ay, ay!” cried the captain. “Why then we every one go back together — paper, writer, and all — and take Tregarthen into the secret we kept from him?”
