It proves, however, to be a correct one. A man, indistinct, but unmistakable, shows himself on the top of the wall, and pulls his forelock through force of habit.,"I understand," said the Admiral. "This[Pg 113] should prove a very good offer—very good terms. What will this ship carry?",Mona tries to say something,—anything that will be kind and sympathetic,—but words fail her.
