In his 50s, Boatwright borrowed money to pursue his dream of buying a boatyard.

He also promised to have the goods delivered inside of an hour, and said he knew the boatyard well.

At the time the proprietor of the boatyard went away Jack had stepped outside the door with him.

Then came the owner of the boatyard and shop, who was greatly surprised when he learned what had happened on the preceding night.

The owner of the boatyard doubtless wondered what they meant to do, for he asked a number of curious questions.

Then a vehicle came into the boatyard and the stores were taken aboard.
