      THE PARTHENON BY WAY OF PAPENDRECHT

      By F. Hopkinson Smith

      1909

      "WILYUM!.....Wilyum!.....WILYUM!"

      It was mine host of the Ferry Inn at Cook-ham who was calling, and at the top of his voice—and a big-chested voice it was—the sound leaping into crescendo as the object of his search remained hidden. Then he turned to me:

      He's somewheres 'round the boat house—you can't miss him—there's too much of him!

      Are ye wantin' me, sor? came another shout as I rounded the squat building stuffed with boats—literally so—bottom, top, and sides.

      The landlord was right—there was a good deal of him—six feet and an inch, I should think; straight as an oar, his bared arms swinging free; waist, thighs, and back tough as a saw-log. To this was added two big blue eyes set in a clean-shaven face bronzed by the sun, and a double row of teeth that would have shamed an ear of corn. I caught, too, the muscles of his chest rounding out his boating shirt, and particularly the muscles of the
