he little model of the _Industry_, in his hand,
to the big one, that was on the mantel before him; and Squire Jacob took
some of the sheathing of the real _Industry_ and put it on the fire. And
it blazed up with flames that were all green and blue, and red.

"A many miles o' ocean 's in that flame," said the old sailor, "a many
miles."

"And a good ship," said Squire Jacob.

"That she was," said the old sailor. "A good ship."

[Illustration]

And they watched the sheathing burning, and Squire Jacob thought that he
saw pictures in the flames. At first he saw a ship all alone on the
great ocean, and nothing could be seen from the ship but miles of
tossing water; and the flame died out. Then another flame blazed up, and
Squire Jacob saw a great river with a city on the bank, and the brig
_Industry_ was anchored in the river. And many little boats were rowed
from the city to the ship and back again. The little boats were loaded
with tea and spices and camel's-hair shawls and many other beautiful
things. And he saw Captain Solomon on the ship; and that flame died out.
And another flame blazed up, and he saw the _Industry_ just coming up
the river and tying up at the wharf that the narrow road led down to.
And that flame died out quickly, and the piece of sheathing only glowed,
for it was all burned to ashes, and the ashes dropped down where the
other ashes were.

And that's all of this book.
