"An' is the schooner still anchored off here?" he asked. "I might take a fish-boat an' row out to her, if she is.","No. What a big ship she looks compared with the other two! It is difficult to think of her alone in the middle of the sea. I can only imagine her lying at a wharf with protecting hills on each side. Does she sail fast?"，"Set down there an' keep still as a mouse till I get back," he admonished. "I won't be long."，"Yes," she answered, "a grand wedding gift, Billy."，Leaving Captain Weaver to converse with the skipper and to supply his wants, Captain Acton passed his arm through the Admiral's and led him aft."God love us!" ejaculated Harry, dropping the knife with which he was stirring the potatoes and reaching for the demijohn. "An' fer why should ye be out on that wild goose chase, now?"
