The atmosphere had appeared to him , when he first issued forth into the night , to be full of electricity , to be charged with some dynamic force . Now he felt sure that this impression was really a premonition , a message , carried by a kind of wirle - s telegraphy to his brain of what was coming . He shivered . The night had been cold ; it seemed suddenly to have taken on more degrees of Trust , and the wind had become biting ' n stead of pleasantly cool . He buttoned up his long coat and turned up the astrakhan collar until it shrouded his face to the ears and ob- seured part of his features . He was wearing Tyrolean hat , somewhat low on his forehead . Probably any of his friends might pass him driving or walking without recognising him . In the dim light the figure came out suffi- ciently to enable Charteris to see that he wore the uniform of one of the pier - attendants . Aaron Walters stopped short . For the first time during the twelve years in which he had visited the pier nightly , he found the central " I shall be back in a minute , sir , ] he moved on towards the end of the pier .

The blind had not been drawn down : the darkness was there still . He felt a curious certainty that someone was within that room locking out upon the night , to whom he must be plainly visible , although the onlooker was hidden from his line of vision ..
