He had obtained a position in the jegraph Company as a Saturday and Sunday messenger in order to pay part of his expenses.

Unhooking the fish, the Captain found half @ fish hoo® caught in the fish's mouth—-which matched exactly the other half Mr. X. had put in his pocket. It was undoubtedly the same fish!
