55、He was a businessman and he had been in business in Japan for many years. Once he gave me a great surprise.

60、 then he told me that he had had bad luck at cards for some time. He lost everything he had. He hadnt a penny. He was down and out. If he couldnt get something to do hed not survive.” “I looked at him for a bit. I could see now that he was all to pieces. Hed been drinking more than usual and he look
61、ed fifty.” “Suddenly I had an idea.” Pausing in his story, Burton turned to me. “When I was young I swam over three miles round the beacon(灯塔) and landed at the river of Tarumi. Its rather difficult on account of the currents round the beacon. Well, I told my young fellow about it and I said that if
62、 hed do it Id give him a job.”“I could see he was rather surprised. He was not in good condition for sports.

63、 of work to do that morning and I only just managed to get to the river Tarumi at half past twelve. But I neednt have hurried; he never turned up.”“Did he fear it at the last moment?” I asked.“No, he didnt fear it. He started all right. But of course hed ruined his constitution(体质) by drink. The cur
64、rents round the beacon were more than he could manage. We didnt get the body for about three days.”I didnt say anything for a moment or two. I was rather shocked. Then I asked.“When you made him that offer of a job, did you know hed be drowned?”He looked at me with his kind blue eyes, smiling. “Well
