After further endearments between this devoted father and his daughter, Captain Acton closed her cabin door and went on deck. Captain Acton was silent. He was astonished.

They talked of this and of other matters connected with the Minorca, and then the Admiral went to the window to fill his pipe, and Mr Lawrence to his bedroom. Maurice nodded. "I'm goin' to stick along here an help you watch the stuff, Harry. Them men'll likely come prowlin' back here." "That's Eagle!" said Captain Acton. "'Tis[Pg 433] clear that the crew have not mutinied against my interests." "I should think so indeed, poor men!" exclaimed Miss Acton..
