A Cast of the Net.

CHAPTER 11. By ten o'clock on the following morning, [ had sketched out my plan,and more than stat. 1 was down at the water-side and looking after a lodging, for I never let the grass grow under my feet.

east end of London, and especially the riverside part of it; everything was s0 dirty and miserable and crowded, that to a man of really decent tastes, like myself, it was almost purgatory to pass a day in it. And on this particular occasion, the weather changed the very day I wen there ; it was getting on towards late autumn (Qetober in point of fact, ) and we had been having most beautiful weather; but this morning itcame on to rain, a close, thick rain, and we did’t have three hours of continuous fine weather while I stopped ia the east.

[ was not likely to be very particular about my lodgings in one sense, though in another I was more particular than any lodger that ever came into the neigh- borhood, und after little trouble I pitched upon a public-house again, chiefly because my going in and out would attract less atseution there than at a private house ; so 1 secured a small second-floor back room at the Anchor and Five Mermaids, or the Anchor as it was generally called tor shortness.

The great recommendation of the Ans chorand Five Mermaids was that it was vearly opposite to Byrle & Co’s, engineer- ing shops, a ferry existing between the two places; this ferry was reached by a parrow lane, which ran by the side of the Anchor, avd I could see that numbers of the workmen came across at dinner time. The Anchor stood at the eorner, one front looking on the lane, the other upon the river; and once upon a time there had been, pot exactly a tea-garden, but arbors or “‘ boxes”’ in front of the house, where the-eustomers used to sit and watch the shipping ; but this was ali past vow, and only themiserable remains of the arbors were there; aud it was as dull and cheers less a place as the tavern to which Quilp

took Sampson and Sally Brass in the Old AT THE “EXAMINER” OFFICE

Curiosity Shop, of which, indeed, it re- minded me every time I looked at it.

I always had a readiness for scraping acquaintance ; in fact it isnot much use of your being a desective if you can’t do this; if you can’t be jonnick with the biggest stranger or lowest rough, you are no use on that lay. I really must avoid slang terms; but ‘ jonnick”’ means hearty and jovial ; on a “ lay’? means being up to some game or business. Before the first dinner-time had passed, | had got quite friendly with two or three of Byrle’s hands who came into the Anchor to have their beer; and I learned some particul- ars about the gat keeper, that helped me in my ideas.

Direct'y “they had all gone back, [| went over too, and the dinner-traffic hay- ing ceased, I was the only passenger. The) ferry-man did not like taking me alone but he was bound to do it; and he looked | as sulky us if he was going to be flogged ata eart’s tail. He was a tall boneys| handed fellow, between fifty and sixty, 1) should say; and | noticed him particular. | ly, because of an uncommonly ugly squint | ia his left eye. [no accordance with my plan, I begin to talk cheerfully to him! while he was pushing off from the shore ; but he didn’t answer me more than a grow]. Then I offered him some chewing tobacco, which a ‘‘friend ’’ just over from America had given me.’’ Really and truly I had bought it within a quarte ot the Anchor and Five Mermaids, but he wasn’t to know that. I can’t chew; I hate the idea, but I put a piece of tobacco in my mouth, knowing how fond these waterside men are of the practice, and how friendly they get with one of the same tastes. ‘To my surprise, he would not have it, and I was glad to pitch my plug into the river when he turned his head away. But confound these cock-eyed men ! there is never any knowing where to have them. He had not turned far enough, I suppose, or I dido’t make proper allow- ances for his squint; for, as 1 threw my plag away with a shudder—it had already turned me sick—I caught his ploguey erossveye staring fuli at me. I kuew it was by the expression on his face; that was my only guide, for an astronomer | could not have told by his eye in which’ direction he was looking.

The ferryman pulled well, however; and just as we got athwart the bows ofa short, thick-looking craft—it is no use my trying to say what kind of a craft she was ; i can’t tell ove from another—a voice hailed us. “Ay, ay,’ says the boatman, lifting his sculls; “‘do you want to go ashore, captain?” <“‘ Yes,” returned the voice ; and I looked up and saw a man leaning over the side of the vessel, and the boatman sending his wherry close uoder the.ship, the stranger slid down by a rope very cleverly, and got in. Though the boatman had called him ‘‘ captain,’’ and

_

he did't look altogether like a regular sailor : he was a dark, fullefaced man, with black eyes, a dark moustache, and curly, | greasy-looking hair.

There never has been a time when the heal- ing of so many different diseases has been caused by outward application as the present. It is an undisputed fact that over half of the entire population of the globe resort to the use of ordinary plasters.

DR. MELVIN’s CapstcuM POROUS PLASTERS are acknowledged by all who have used them, ° to act quicker than any other plaster they ever before tried, and that one of these plasters will do mére real gervyice than a hundred of the ordinary kind.

Physicians in all ages have thoroughly tested and well know the effect of Capsicum; and it has always been more or less used as a medical agent for an outward application; but it is only of very recent date that its advan- tages in a porous plaster have been discovered. Being, however, convineed of the wonderful eures effected by Dr. MELVIN’s CAPSICUM Porous PLASTERS, and their superiority over ali other pilasters, they now actually preseribe them, in their practice, for such diseases as rheumatism, pain in the side and back, and all such cases as have required the use of plasters orliniment.
