Shortly afterwards the ship reached the sea.

When Ursus returned to consciousness, he found that Gwynplaine was no longer with him, and he saw Homo by the edge of the deck baying in the shadow and looking down upon the water.

THE END.

[Footnote 1:  As much as to say, the other daughters are provided for as best may be. (Note by Ursus on the margin of the wall.)]

[Footnote 2:  Una nube salida del malo lado del diablo.]

[Footnote 3:  Tiller of the mountain, who is that man?—­A man.

[Footnote 5:  The above is a very inefficient and rather absurd translation of the French.  It turns upon the fact that in the French language the word for darkness is plural—­tenebres.—­TRANSLATOR.]

[Footnote 6:  Transcriber’s note:  The original text refers to “vitres epaisses”, thick panes, without specific dimensions.  Glass only a millimetre thick would have been rather flimsy.]

  Which in their summer beauty kissed each other.”

[Footnote 15:  Thou must go to heaven and smile, thou that weepest.]

[Footnote 20:  This fashion of sleeping partly undrest came from Italy, and was derived from the Romans. “Sub clara nuda lacerna,” says Horace.]

[Footnote 21:  The author is apparently mistaken.  The Chamberlains of the Exchequer divided the wooden laths into tallies, which were given out when disbursing coin, and checked or tallied when accounting for it.  It was in burning the old tallies in an oven that the Houses of Parliament were destroyed by fire.—­TRANSLATOR.]
