All
,
dear
Helena
;
I
can
fill
up
every
one
of
these
blanks
the
sea
has
made
in
the
document
as
easily
as
if
Captain
Grant
were
dictating
to
me
.
"
And
he
took
up
the
pen
,
and
dashed
off
the
following
lines
immediately
:
"
On
the
7th
of
June
,
1862
,
the
three-mast
vessel
,
Britannia
,
of
Glasgow
,
has
sunk
on
the
coast
of
Patagonia
,
in
the
southern
hemisphere
.
Making
for
the
shore
,
two
sailors
and
Captain
Grant
are
about
to
land
on
the
continent
,
where
they
will
be
taken
prisoners
by
cruel
Indians
.
They
have
thrown
this
document
into
the
sea
,
in
longitude
and
latitude
37
degrees
11
"
.
Bring
them
assistance
,
or
they
are
lost
.
"
"
Capital
!
capital
!
dear
Edward
,
"
said
Lady
Helena
.
"
If
those
poor
creatures
ever
see
their
native
land
again
,
it
is
you
they
will
have
to
thank
for
it
.
"
"
And
they
will
see
it
again
,
"
returned
Lord
Glenarvan
;
"
the
statement
is
too
explicit
,
and
clear
,
and
certain
for
England
to
hesitate
about
going
to
the
aid
of
her
three
sons
cast
away
on
a
desert
coast
.
What
she
has
done
for
Franklin
and
so
many
others
,
she
will
do
to-day
for
these
poor
shipwrecked
fellows
of
the
Britannia
.
"
"
Most
likely
the
unfortunate
men
have
families
who
mourn
their
loss
.
Perhaps
this
ill-fated
Captain
Grant
had
a
wife
and
children
,
"
suggested
Lady
Helena
.
"
Very
true
,
my
dear
,
and
I
'll
not
forget
to
let
them
know
that
there
is
still
hope
.
But
now
,
friends
,
we
had
better
go
up
on
deck
,
as
the
boat
must
be
getting
near
the
harbor
.
"
A
carriage
and
post-horses
waited
there
,
in
readiness
to
convey
Lady
Helena
and
Major
McNabbs
to
Malcolm
Castle
,
and
Lord
Glenarvan
bade
adieu
to
his
young
wife
,
and
jumped
into
the
express
train
for
Glasgow
.
But
before
starting
he
confided
an
important
missive
to
a
swifter
agent
than
himself
,
and
a
few
minutes
afterward
it
flashed
along
the
electric
wire
to
London
,
to
appear
next
day
in
the
Times
and
Morning
Chronicle
in
the
following
words
:
"
For
information
respecting
the
fate
of
the
three-mast
vessel
Britannia
,
of
Glasgow
,
Captain
Grant
,
apply
to
Lord
Glenarvan
,
Malcolm
Castle
,
Luss
,
Dumbartonshire
,
Scotland
.
"
Lord
Glenarvan
's
fortune
was
enormous
,
and
he
spent
it
entirely
in
doing
good
.
His
kindheartedness
was
even
greater
than
his
generosity
,
for
the
one
knew
no
bounds
,
while
the
other
,
of
necessity
,
had
its
limits
.
As
Lord
of
Luss
and
"
laird
"
of
Malcolm
,
he
represented
his
county
in
the
House
of
Lords
;
but
,
with
his
Jacobite
ideas
,
he
did
not
care
much
for
the
favor
of
the
House
of
Hanover
,
and
he
was
looked
upon
coldly
by
the
State
party
in
England
,
because
of
the
tenacity
with
which
he
clung
to
the
traditions
of
his
forefathers
,
and
his
energetic
resistance
to
the
political
encroachments
of
Southerners
.
And
yet
he
was
not
a
man
behind
the
times
,
and
there
was
nothing
little
or
narrow-minded
about
him
;
but
while
always
keeping
open
his
ancestral
county
to
progress
,
he
was
a
true
Scotchman
at
heart
,
and
it
was
for
the
honor
of
Scotland
that
he
competed
in
the
yacht
races
of
the
Royal
Thames
Yacht
Club
.
Edward
Glenarvan
was
thirty-two
years
of
age
.
He
was
tall
in
person
,
and
had
rather
stern
features
;
but
there
was
an
exceeding
sweetness
in
his
look
,
and
a
stamp
of
Highland
poetry
about
his
whole
bearing
.
He
was
known
to
be
brave
to
excess
,
and
full
of
daring
and
chivalry
--
a
Fer-gus
of
the
nineteenth
century
;
but
his
goodness
excelled
every
other
quality
,
and
he
was
more
charitable
than
St.
Martin
himself
,
for
he
would
have
given
the
whole
of
his
cloak
to
any
of
the
poor
Highlanders
.
