Herring packing is one of the great industries on the
east coast of England. The enormous number of bar-
rels used may be estimated from this view taken at
Yarmouth during the herring season. Many girls are
employed in the herring industry. They follow the
herrings down the coast of England and work a week
or two at a number of ports. ’ 2-9

"You mean that this Doctor
Lindquist might have been inter-
ested in her otherwise than pro-
fessionally?’’
"I wouldn't like to say.” Cleav-
er smoked for a while as it in-
wardly debating the situation.
"Anyway, here sre the facts: Lind-
quist is one of these exclusive so-
ciety specialists—a neurologist he
calls himself—and I believe he's
the dean of a private sanitarium
of some kind for nervous women.
He must have money, and, of
course, his social standing is a
vital asset to him—just the sort
of man the Canary might have
selected as a source of income.
And I know this: be.came to see
her a good deal oftener than a
doctor of his type would be apt to.
I ran into him one night at her
apartment, and when she intro-
duced us. he wasn’t even civil."

siastically. “You’ve no one else
