He had been on a message to the cofferdam gang and had returned to find the boss seemingly loafing. When he saw there might be a few free moments before he was set to work again he ventured some questions regarding the thing that was of most interest to him.

Soon the young woman came back and said to her husband, "It is a girl baby. You are to have another wife." "I don't mean that; but how could you look?" "I have no card but my name is Geoffrey Rodney," says the young man, turning to his companion. "So they all tell me. And of course what every one says is true. We're bound to be friends, aren't we?" rattles on Darling pleasantly. "Our mutual love for Erin should be a bond between us.".
