There was a mysterious affair last night, signore.
Oh! I exclaimed. Anything that interests us?
Yes, signore, replied the tall, thin Italian Consular-clerk, speaking with a strong accent. An English steam yacht ran aground on the Meloria about ten miles out, and was discovered by a fishing-boat who brought the news to harbor.
