Keep the book and let me drown myself." At this moment one of the passengers appeared with the missing book. He had found it under his mattress, and now restored it with the remark: "I saw you foraging in my bunk when you returned aboard at Java, and wondered what blooming tec game you was up to at the time. I found this the next day when I was making my bed, and was waiting till the owner claimed it. But when I heard the row you was making about a book, as I passed here just now, I thought I'd show it. Is it yours?" " Yes---yes," cried Nicodemus, snatching it from the man, and hugging it to his heart, as a fond mother would do with a long-lost child. "You see, fliend Tultle, the mistake you made suspecting me, and the collectness of my theoly." Nicodemus looked with watery-eyed admiration at Wung Ti, who was standing now upright, with folded arms, a picture of mild reproach. He chuckled craftily as he replied: " Good--good.

Hume Nisbet
Edit ProfileEducation
He had studied painting under Sam Bough, Royal Scottish Academy, but does not appear to have had any success. In a volume called Where Art Begins, published by him in 1892, he speaks with bitterness on the chances of success in painting.
Career
At 16 years of age he came to Australia and stayed about seven years, during which he travelled to Tasmania, New Zealand, and the South Sea Islands, painting and sketching and writing poetry and stories, besides making notes for future work. Of this period he spent one year acquiring theatrical experience at the Theatre Royal, Melbourne, under the well-known actor Richard Stewart. Nisbet returned to London in 1872, and spent some time in studying and copying pictures in the National Gallery and at South Kensington.
At the end of the next year he went back to Scotland, and devoted himself to art, with an occasional lapse into literature.
Foreign eight years he was art master of the Watt Institution and School of Art, Edinburgh. He travelled in Australia and New Guinea again during 1886, and paid another visit to Australia in 1895.
Among his best-known paintings are "Eve"s first Moonrise," "The Flying Dutchman," "The Dream of Sardanapalus," four pictures of "The Ancient Mariner," and "The Battle of Dunbar." Nisbet devoted most of his time to writing and published many volumes of verse, books on art and fiction. Several of his novels are coloured by his Australian experiences and appear to have had some success.
Miller in his Australian Literature lists about 40 novels published between 1888 and 1905.
During the next 10 years he published a few more books including Hathor and Other Poems, which appeared as the first volume of his poetic and dramatic works in 1905. There was another edition in 1908. Many of Nisbet"s volumes were of ghost stories.
These include Paths of the Dead (1899),, and The Haunted Station (1894) whose title story (about a haunted property or "station" in the Australian Outback) has often been reprinted.
Nisbet died in Eastbourne, Sussex, England on 4 June 1923.
