"You again want to imply, sister," said Captain Acton with a darkling face, "that my daughter has eloped with the man she rejected.",
Mr Lawrence made no answer, and Mr Pledge seeing that he was to go, went on deck by the only exit, namely, the companion ladder. Immediately after he had passed through the hatch the steward Paul descended.,
"What is she, do you think?" said Captain Acton.,
"Fell out o' a tree," he managed to say. "Struck my head on a limb."

"No," she replied, "there's no such thing as a ghost, Billy.",
"No, crow black birds are too lazy to build nests. They take the first nest comes handy.",
Mr Lawrence descended the steps into the cabin, which has already been described, with its plain sea furniture and stand of arms, and entered the after berth which he had pretended to convert into a sick bay. Here were two rough bunks, one on top of the other, each containing a mattress and bolster. It was the middle berth betwixt the Captain's and the pantry. Mr Lawrence's sea-chest, clothes, and nautical instruments were here collected. He stepped to a shelf and took from it a tin box containing the ship's papers, and from this box he drew out a large, portentous, heavily-sealed [Pg 247]envelope, whose enclosure of stout paper rendered it somewhat thick and bulky.
