Yes—was it English she talked?"，Before Elinor could respond, she started to the door with an exclamation.，CHAPTER V JERRY’S STORY，Sail was at once shortened aboard the schooner and the helm put down, which held the canvas shuddering in smart ripplings of shadow, whilst on board the frigate the lower stun-sail was taken in, the other stun-sails boom-ended, the main topsail yard backed to the wind and the ship's way arrested, all with the alacrity and quietude which are to be found only in a British man-of-war in perfection.“It is horrid, but”—great searching first in one pocket of his trousers, then in the other—“but if you will please take this report back”—
