"I'll return soon," Hinter promised. "Don't worry about anything. A speedy recovery—and good night.".

It was about half an hour after daybreak: the sun had risen, and the flood of brilliance lay broad upon the sea in the east. Captain Acton was dressing in his cabin, when his door was rapped upon, and Captain Weaver, whose manner was full of excitement, reported a sail in sight, right in the centre of the horizon betwixt the two ships. "I take it it's machinery an' stuff for a saw-mill," answered Billy moodily. "Is it?".
