After a few airy nothings of salutation and the like had been exchanged and all were seated, Captain Acton said: "Lucy, I am now to introduce Mr Lawrence to you in a new character; he is the captain of the Minorca." "You tell me, Billy," he said huskily—"tell me if the light shines as brightly as when we watched it together." Billy started. "Oh gosh! I dunno, Mr. Spencer; I jest cut the first ones come into my head.".
