THE WOMAN ON THE DERELICT,
BEING THE STRANGE LOVE STORY OF JOHN BRAMWELL,
BY
GUY BOOTHBY (Author of "Dr. Nikola," "My Indian Queen," o. &c.)
CHAPTER I.
Bless my soul, how clearly it all comes back to me! Years, have gone by since it happened. yet it is so fresh in my momory, that it seems if it were but yesterday, I'va seen some curious things ono way and another in my time, but I think my own love story is about the most curions of them all. I remember when I was only a scrap of a boy how I used to tell myself stories, and hoped that, when my time should come to fall in love, it would be in a re- martie fashion. Little did I imagine how xo- natio it was destined to be. Ilave patience with me, and I will do my best to tell you about it. You must, however, remember that I'm not much of a fist with a pou, I'm better at doing Ga thing than writing about it. Let that be as it may, however, you shall have the story for what it is worth, and then if it does not came up to expectations, I shall at least have the satisfac- tion of having tried to do my l st.
