"You will know, sir," replied Captain Acton, "one of Nelson's favourite sayings: at sea something must be left to chance.

"Oh, we'll soon stand her up again," said Captain Acton. "Did you recognise the Aurora?" "Why, sure we was, but we were stuck tight. You might have passed us, easy enough."

We shall not be surprised, therefore, when we learn that shortly after dinner he ordered his mare to be saddled, and rode straight into Old Harbour Town, where he stabled the mare at "The Swan" and walked direct to the wharves, first of all to learn if anybody had seen Lucy down at the shipping early that morning. "I saw the light from my bedroom window,"[Pg 23] said Lucy. "Who chased the Frenchman? Lieutenant Tupman?".
