"But what a dreadful responsibility to leave upon my shoulders," said Miss Acton. "Suppose those I send about come back and say she is not to be found? It is more than I can bear. The charge is too awful! What am I to do if she is not to be found?" Captain Weaver knew many who were engaged on the several wharves, and so indeed did Captain Acton.

"She shall look as smart as she can be made[Pg 95] to look, sir," answered Mr Lawrence. "Permit me to conduct you on board, madam." "How're we goin' to get back 'cross the crick?" whined the vanquished LaRose..
