St. Malo

A judicial inquiry had taken place at St. Malo, for the purpose of ascertaining what had become of the coast-guardman, number 619.

We would go off to St. Malo,—for a week, and I gave orders that he should make the necessary arrangements to get permits.

And—sure enough—from the direction of France, and boiling along under full canvas, rolled two privateersmen of St. Malo.

Meanwhile the two privateers of St. Malo had captured the frigate as she lay helpless; a white flag beckoning for a prize crew.

So the wild man from St. Malo was very happy, and he and his owners pocketed a good, round sum of money.
