"Not in the Harbour!" cried Miss Acton. "Good gracious, has she sunk, do you think?" Billy glanced at him quickly, a troubled look in his eyes. "N-no," he said, "you bet I don't." The lieutenant politely nodded his agreement with this view, and finished his glass of brandy and soda-water. At long intervals, to compare the lapses with the short time he spent on board, he directed a look at Lucy; but the glance was that of a man who knows that women do not admire him, and do not want him, a poor, plain, and elderly man: and whose policy, resolved long ago, was to give the marriageable part of the sex a very wide berth..
