There was a mysterious affair last night, signore.
Oh! I exclaimed. Anything that interests us?
Yes, signore, replied the tall, thin Italian Consular-clerk, speaking with a strong accent. An English steam yacht ran aground on the Meloria about ten miles out, and was discovered by a fishing-boat who brought the news to harbor. The Admiral sent out two torpedo-boats, which managed after a lot of difficulty to bring in the yacht safely, but the Captain of the Port has a suspicion that the crew were trying to make away with the vessel.

The faithful Francesco, whose English had mostly been acquired from sea- faring men, and was not the choicest vocabulary, nodded, and, true Tuscan that he was, placed his finger upon his closed lips, indicative of silence.
