"Now," said he in a soft voice full of the emotion which his daughter's preservation and restoration had filled him with—"now that my dear child, by the mercy and goodness of Almighty God, has been returned to me I am for heading straight for Old Harbour Town, for she has had enough of the sea—more than enough, and I am for having her at home, safe again. She has gone through much, she looks ill, she needs the rest and nursing she can only get at home." "Well, what is it, then? Who sent you? Come now, out with it quick, or I'll take a tarred rope-end to you." "Don't you have nuthin' to do with it, Ma!" he cried. "That Croaker's a witch crow, that's what he is!
