much as I could do to keep steady, so
as to pet the heart of this mysterv.
Although I was trribly shaken, I proved

The Blue Jacket that went down with
all hands when within two days' sail
of the Australian coast, was believed
by my mother to have been the Blue
Jacket in which I served. To arrive
at this understanding occupied me fully
an hour, and by that time my mother
was sitting on my knee, soothed and
pacified, and filled with a feeling of
awe and gratitude at my escape. I
could now turn my attention to those
matters nearest my heart. The whole
mystery was not yet cleared. Being
