perity and
peace, and with perhaps a superfluity of ale and wine, in Tunstall
hamlet. One had been all his life a shipman, and continued to the last
to lament his man Tom. The other, who had been a bit of everything,
turned in the end towards piety, and made a most religious death under
the name of Brother Honestus in the neighbouring abbey. So Lawless had
his will, and died a friar.

Transcriber's Notes

Obvious typographical errors have been corrected, and hyphenation made
consistent within the text. Common contractions have been closed up
(e.g. 'tis rather than 't is). Where this would lead to two apostrophes
together, the space has been retained (e.g. y' 'ave). The oe ligature
has been replaced by oe. All other spelling and punctuation has been
left as in the original text.

Italics are marked with underscores _like this_.

All illustrations in the text are marked with the caption "_Copyright by
Charles Scribner's Sons_." For ease of reading, this has been removed and
placed here. Where full-page illustrations fall within a paragraph, they
have been moved to the end of the preceding paragraph.

This text contains three footnotes, marked in the text as [1], [2] and
[3]. The footnotes follow the paragraphs to which they refer.
