 The Floating Light Becomes the Scene of Floating Surmises1 and Vague Suspicions.
 
It must not be supposed, from what has been said, that the Gull2 Lightship was the only vessel3 of the kind that existed at that time. But she was a good type of the class of vessels4 (numbering at present about sixty) to which she belonged, and, both as regarded her situation and duties, was, and still is, one of the most interesting among the floating lights of the kingdom.
 
When the keen-eyed traveller stepped upon her well-scrubbed deck, he was courteously5 received by the mate, Mr John Welton, a strongly-built man above six feet in height, with a profusion6 of red hair, huge whiskers, and a very peculiar7 expression of countenance8, in which were united calm self-possession, coolness, and firmness, with great good-humour and affability.
 
“You are Mr Welton, I presume?” said the traveller abruptly9, touching11 his hat with his forefinger12 in acknowledgment of a similar salute13 from the mate.
 
“That is my name, sir.”
 
“Will you do me the favour to read this letter?” said the traveller, selecting a document from a portly pocket-book, and presenting it.
