By her orders all the habitable parts of the castle were explored, and she herself assisted in the search. At length the intelligence was communicated to the chapel, and the confusion became universal. The priest quitted the altar, and the company returned to the saloon. “You must remember I got the boat-hook,” urged Johnny. The church bells began to ring, ushering in the holy tide. Christmas Eve!
