Most of the people respectfully saluted the ladies and the Admiral, who, one or another, had for every other person a kindly sentence or a pleasant smile. Standing in the gangway of the Minorca was Mr Lawrence, who had manifestly seen the party approaching, though himself had been hidden from them by the interposition of the main shrouds. He crossed the planks which connected the ship with the shore, and stood with his hat in his hand as though they were royalty.，Early next morning the man set out to hunt, and as soon as he was out of sight his wives went up on top of the butte where he used to sit.

Betty turned to Nell Gordon, “I hope all yer clouds’ll hev silver linin’s, Miss Gordon,” she smiled.,“Yes, sir,—an engineer rather than anything else!”,He ceased speaking and drew himself up slowly, pursing his stern lips.
