"Ay," said Pledge, "but don't you forget that the needle swings, and leaves the Polar mark points off." He drew her a little further among the pines and they peered out to see Croaker alight on the broken-backed ridge pole of the log hut. "That's a nice lookin' youngster," remarked Sward, as Billy was lost among the pines. "Notice the big eyes of him, Jack?".

The breakfast bell at this moment summoned them from the lawn. At table Captain Acton said that he had asked Mr Lawrence to meet him at his office down on the quay at half-past ten.
