"Yes, sir, he is on board the Victory. She is the one that is ahead of and to windward of the ship that has stun-sails set." "Plenty of news, madam," answered the Admiral, "but most of the reports are lies born of fear. The French never can get a footing upon this land." She stayed her sobbing to exclaim in the high, strained notes she had before spoken in: "Send me home, sir! send me back to my father! There are ships about.
